Lash Mapping for Wide-Set Eyes

Every eyelash extension map drawn for wide-set 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 wide-set eyes. The same layout is meant in each case — the name changes, the geometry does not.

Wide-set eyes sit more than one eye's width apart. Lash mapping for wide-set eyes moves weight inward: length concentrated toward the outer corner pulls the eyes further apart visually, while a peak placed before the middle draws them together. This is the exact inverse of the close-set instruction, which is why a map copied from a close-set client makes a wide-set one look further apart.

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.

An almond lid, the reference photo these two spacing shapes share. The spacing that defines them is in the diagram, not this photograph.
The lid reads almond, and that is not what makes this shape — the distance between the two eyes is, and no single-eye photograph can show it. We are still looking for one that can. Photo source & removal

A wider-than-an-eye gap sits between the corners.

Natural

Natural, pulled inward: peak over the pupil, tail short.

The inner corner is not the shortest zone here. The tail is.

Cat-Eye

Cat-eye, moderated: the flare stops at the outer iris.

Never extend past the peak. Outward length widens the face.

Doll / Open-Eye

Doll: one round peak straight over the pupil.

Do not let the peak drift outward. Over the pupil or nowhere.

Wispy

Wispy, spiked inboard: bright points in the inner-to-middle third.

Outer-third spikes are the failure. Keep the tail plain.

Squirrel / Fox

Squirrel with the arch moved one zone in: lift, no outward reach.

The drop after the peak is the correction. Do not soften it.
