Hello, lash artists! The cat eye look remains an all-time favorite among clients seeking a captivating and glamorous appearance. As lash artists, mastering the art of cat eye maps is essential to create stunning, customized lash sets. Today, we’ll explore three creative and versatile cat eye mapping techniques that will elevate your lash game!
The Universal Mapping:
Let’s begin our lash journey with the classic Universal Mapping technique. This timeless approach starts at the inner corner of the eye with shorter lengths, gradually increasing in length towards the outer corner. The longest length at the end of the eye will also be the largest section. However, keep in mind that depending on your client’s eye shape, this mapping could make their eyes look a bit droopy. So, don’t be afraid to adjust the lengths accordingly.
The Gradual Drop
Following a similar pattern to the Universal Mapping, this approach starts with shorter lengths at the inner corner and gradually increases towards the outer corner. But here’s the key difference – instead of having the longest length at the very end, we’ll introduce small sections of both shorter and longer lengths on the outer corner. For instance, if 13mm is the longest length, add a touch of 12mm and 11mm to the outer corner. This subtle tweak prevents the eyes from looking droopy and adds a lifted effect.
The Curl Mix
The Curl Mix technique is an artistic canvas for your creativity to run wild. This mapping follows the same pattern as the Gradual Drop, but this time, we’re mixing up the curls!
