How to Match Lash Maps to Eye Shapes

One of the most common questions we get is: "How do I know which map fits my client?" Correct mapping can lift a droopy eye or balance a wide-set gaze. Here is your step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Analyze the Eye Plane

Determine if the eyes are upturned, downturned, or straight.
Pro Tip: Use The Lash Look app's "Scan" feature to have the AI automatically detect this axis for you.

Step 2: Measure Eye Distance

• Close-set eyes: Use a Cat Eye or Kitten map to elongate the outer corners.
• Wide-set eyes: Use a Doll Eye or Open Eye map to bring focus to the center.

Step 3: Select the Curl

Matching curl to natural lash growth is crucial. For downward growing lashes, use a stronger curl (D or CC) to open the eye. For upward growing lashes, a softer curl (C) often suffices.

Step 4: The Virtual Consultation

Before gluing a single lash, show your client the proposed map using The Lash Look's virtual try-on. This ensures they are comfortable with the length and style, preventing the dreaded "it's too dramatic" complaint after you finish.
