What Are Wet Look Lashes?
Wet lashes are a highly sought-after eyelash extension technique designed to replicate the appearance of damp, glossy, and full lashes. In contrast to conventional lash extensions, wet lashes offer a subtler, matte appearance, creating the effect of a light application of mascara or, as the name implies, the look of freshly moistened lashes. This shiny effect enhances the depth and allure of your client's eyes, making them seem larger, more distinct, and more captivating.
How to Achieve the Wet Lash Effect?
The initial step is to attentively listen to your client's desires, conduct a comprehensive consultation, and follow a meticulous pre-treatment process. After assessing their natural lashes and examining their eye and facial structure, you can then determine the most suitable eyelash extensions for them. To achieve the wet lash appearance, it's essential to utilize glossy lash extensions specifically crafted to deliver a shiny finish.
Maintaining a complete inventory of lash styles not only aids in crafting the ideal wet look for every client but also positions you at the cutting edge of new lash extension trends. For clients seeking a more dramatic effect, we suggest opting for C-curl or D-curl lashes to accentuate the lash line and amplify the captivating effect of wet lashes. Nonetheless, it's crucial to ensure that the chosen lash curl complements the client's natural lashes and eye shape, ensuring a balanced and stunning outcome.
Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Wet Look Lashes
-
Preparation
Apply a lash primer to the lash strip. Use a suitable amount, concentrating on the middle and tips of the lashes.
-
Brushing
Use a curling brush to gently comb through the lash strip. The more you brush, the finer the closed fan will become. Begin slowly and stop once you achieve the desired fan shape.
-
Lifting and Dipping
Position the tweezers perpendicular to the back of the lash strip. Carefully pick up the closed lash fan from behind, ensuring the tips remain aligned.
Next, immerse the fan into the adhesive and gently slide the sides of the fan along the edge of the glue ring. Ensure at least half of the fan is dipped to keep it securely closed, then carefully attach it to your natural lashes!
One of the fantastic aspects of wet-look lashes is their versatility across different eye shapes and styles. For a more understated appearance, adding a few strategically placed wet-look lashes within another set (like wisps) can provide a subtle enhancement, creating an almost 'anime-inspired' effect. On the other hand, if you're feeling bold and want to make a dramatic statement, a complete set of wet-look lashes can give you a stunning, glamorous transformation.
