The Ultimate Guide to Lash Mapping.
In this blog we break down the core lash mapping styles (Natural, Doll, Fox, Wing), which eye shapes they flatter, and a guide to shopping segment lengths so you know which lengths to stock on on for your favourite lash looks.
Doll Mapping
Bright + Open: Creates a wide-eyed, lifted look.
Best suited for:
Small eyes, downturns eyes, wide set eyes, monolid eyes, deep set eyes. Round or square shaped faces will find this lash effect flattering as it will open the eye area upwards instead of outwards. Thus creating length to the face.
Avoid if you have:
Round eyes, protruding eyes, close set eyes
Lengths to purchase:
How to map:
Shorter on the inner corner (10mm), blending to longer in the center (14mm) to open the eye, and then back to short on the outer corners
