How to Create a Barbie Lash Map
Creating a Barbie lash map involves carefully arranging eyelash extensions to achieve a specific style reminiscent of Barbie’s glamorous and doll-like appearance. The process is similar to creating a Cat Eye or Squirrel lash set, but with specific adjustments for the Barbie-inspired look.
The Barbie lash set involves meticulously placing lash extensions in layers, with the longest lashes positioned in the middle and gradually decreasing in length towards the outer corners. Incorporate lash spikes strategically for a wispy and flirty vibe, ensuring precision to avoid any damage to the natural lashes.
Here’s how to create a Barbie lash map:
Step 1: Preparation
Ensure the client’s natural lashes are clean and dry. Use under-eye pads or tape to isolate and protect the lower lashes.
Step 2: Mapping the First Layer
Begin by applying the longest lashes to the middle of the eye, extending towards the outer corner. Gradually decrease the length as you reach the outer corners of the natural lashes. This forms the first layer of the Barbie lash set.
Step 3: Mapping the Second Layer
Repeat the lash placement from the first layer, but this time, use lashes that are 1 mm longer than the first layer. This will add dimension and a subtle lift to the outer corners of the eyes.
Step 4: Mapping the Third Layer
For the third layer, increase the length by another 1 mm. However, apply these longer lashes only to the inner half of the eye. This creates a dramatic and doll-like effect, emphasizing the center of the eyes.
To sprinkle some Barbie magic on your lashes, experts carefully add tiny spikes to the lashes. This makes them look light and playful. Putting these spikes in the right place is super important. They work best on strong and healthy lashes, making sure they stay in place without hurting the lashes. And, of course, we’re careful not to go poking around the sensitive inner corners to keep things irritation-free.
A simple way to create these cute spikes is by using a primer and a microfiber brush along the lash line. This gives your lashes a 3D look, making them look like a doll’s lashes. It’s important to find the right balance when working with light lashes. Adding just a few spikes to one layer keeps it looking natural, giving your lashes a bit of texture without being too much.
