Why should top views be normalized in the lash industry? ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
I personally believe top views should be showcased more often! While front facing photos show the beautiful final result, top views allow us to see the finer details of the lash line, including isolation, placement, direction, and coverage.
It’s important to remember that no two clients have the same natural lashes! Some have straight, downturned, or naturally curled lashes, while others have shorter, longer, thicker, thinner, denser, or sparser lashes. Every set will look different depending on your natural lash anatomy, density, and overall lash health.
Proper isolation should ALWAYS be a priority. Regardless of how many certifications or years of experience an artist has, credentials don’t automatically guarantee proper technique. Each natural lash should be individually isolated with one extension, fan, or spike attached. Multiple lashes stuck together can cause unnecessary tension, discomfort, and damage.
Are occasional stickies possible? Absolutely! However, excessive pulling, painful lashes, or multiple lashes stuck together should never be normalized.
Top views don’t guarantee perfect isolation, and some separation throughout the lash line is completely normal. However, I believe artists shouldn’t feel intimidated to showcase their work from different angles. Consistently avoiding close up views can be somewhat of a 🚩, and I think transparency should be encouraged throughout our industry.
At the end of the day, your clients’ natural lash health speaks for itself. Seeing clients consistently return for their fills with healthy, happy natural lashes and no discomfort is what matters most.
Transparency doesn’t mean perfection. Beautiful lashes should NEVER come at the expense of healthy lashes ♡
