WHAT ARE CAT EYE LASHES?

The eyelash extension technique is quite complex and not many stylists can use it properly. The outer corner of the eye is lengthened and a round shape is created. The extensions should gradually increase with the outer corner of the eye. The length is reduced back to the last sector of the outside corner. Short eyelash extensions are glued to the inner corner of the eye. "Cat eyes" provide a playful look, while the imitation of a cat is subtle. Cat eye lashes are suitable for everyday use. If you implement the eyelash extension look correctly and efficiently, a seductive shine is created in the eyes. The cat eye effect not only lengthens the lashes but also gives them a playful yet natural curve.

LASH MAPPING FOR THE CAT EYE LASH EXTENSION LOOK

The style has become popular because it looks more natural than many other looks (for example: squirrel, fox eye). The secret of perfect cat eye eyelash extensions lies in the special arrangement of the eyelash extensions. This is how cat eye lash mapping works:

• Shorter eyelash extensions are applied from the inner corner of the eye to the middle of the eyelid.

• Longer extensions are applied from the center of the eyelid to almost the outer corner. The length is reduced again on the last sector of the outside corner.

• The transition between lengths is smooth. The application requires up to 7 different lengths.

THE BEST EYELASH EXTENSIONS FOR THE CAT EYE LASHES LOOK

You can use different materials for the cat eye lash look:

• Silk eyelashes
• Mink lashes
• Cashmere eyelashes
• Flat lashes

The eyelash stylist selects eyelash extensions of different lengths and diameters to vary the shape of the eye. The standard lengths are 14 to 6 mm. The thicknesses range from 0.03 to 0.15 mm. The main task is to achieve a smooth transition. The lash line should not appear layered. Many experienced lash stylists will mix up to two curls (such as C and CC curls) when performing cat eye lash extensions. Professionals use six or more lengths so that the extensions are glued proportionally to the edge of the eye and the expression of naturalness is created.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PROFESSIONAL CAT EYELASH LOOK

The work consists of the following steps:

1. The preparation process. The stylist cleans the skin of the eyelid from makeup and excess sebum with an eyelash cleanser. The eyelashes are prepared with a primer. This ensures a significantly better adhesion of the eyelash extensions to the natural eyelashes.
2. Special hydrogel eye pads are attached to the lower eyelid. They prevent the lower and upper lash line from sticking together.
3. The eyelash fans (depending on the selected cat eye eyelash extension technique - up to 6D eyelashes) are glued to the natural eyelashes. First, the shortest extensions are glued to the inner corner of the eye. The lengths of the eyelash extensions get longer towards the outer corner.
4. When the work is finished, the stylist carefully removes the pad and combs through the lashes with a brush.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT LENGTH OF EXTENSIONS

The lengths used for cat eye lashes depend on the customer's natural lashes. They can vary from 6mm to 14mm. The most preferred lengths are 8-14mm.
