Lash Mapping for Round Eyes

Every eyelash extension map drawn for round eyes — all five effects in all three techniques. The shape decides what the map has to correct; the effect and technique decide how.

Also called big eyes, doe eyes. The same layout is meant in each case — the name changes, the geometry does not.

A round eye shows white above or below the iris and the lid arcs high and early, so a map that peaks over the centre exaggerates what is already there. That is the whole problem in lash mapping for round eyes: the most instinctive placement is the one that makes the eye rounder. Length carried outward lengthens the shape; length stacked over the middle opens it further. Which of those a client wants is the first question to ask, and it is the question most often skipped.

The fifteen maps below are the five effects in all three techniques, drawn for this shape. Each states the zone order, the length curve and where it gets away from people — for a working lash tech mid-appointment and for a learner still building a reference.

The arc peaks early and steeply over the middle.
