Lashes
10 guides to explore
- Lashes
Shape
Where the longest lashes sit along the same eye. Doll-eye and open-eye overlap around a centre peak.
Explore topic - Lashes
Length
Lash length on the same eye. Length is separate from curl and fullness, and the drawings compare lengths rather than give millimetres.
Explore topic - Lashes
Density
How full the lash line looks, from light to full. Density is separate from length and curl.
Explore topic - Lashes
Curl
Whether the lashes lift away from the lash line. A visible curl does not tell you the extension curl grade.
Explore topic - Lashes
Curl grades
Curl grades are extension specs from the maker. Every drawing is the same lash seen side-on; D bends more than CC. Brands label them differently.

Styles and services
Read each definition and look for the detail it names. Related terms overlap, and a name alone cannot tell you the method or the result.

Colour samples
Samples, not shade matches. Screens and lighting shift colour, so sheer and multi-tone colours are described in words as well.
Explore topic - Lashes
Colour placement and effects
Where the contrast or effect sits. Placement hints at a look but does not prove the technique.

Colour intensity
Read each definition and look for the detail it names. Related terms overlap, and a name alone cannot tell you the method or the result.

What the frame shows
A photo only shows what is in frame. Cropping, angle and anything in the way leave some details unknown.
