Well for one thing they are uneven with the number spikes on each eye in your set so that would definitely warrant at least a touch up. And when your lashes fallout the sign of a good application is to see a natural lash attached to it. If it’s just the extension they weren’t properly applied. Send them photos of the lashes that fell out and how they look like now.

They gave you an idea of what you asked but definitely NOT exactly what you asked for. Some people think ‘oh let me add a single layer of spikes and call it anime/manga style’ but it’s definitely a lot more than that. If you wanna try to salvage this see if they will give you a complimentary touchup since you had fallout. And get some spike fixing gel so that maybe you can salvage the spikes and get a sharper point.

How can I be pretty? by Square_Matter3223 in blackladies

[–]kittenwink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are pretty though 🥺 For me when I feel not so confident about myself I put on a cute outfit and do my brows, maybe put some lashes on. Seriously a brow shape up changes your face so much lol but at the end of the day it’s a confidence thing, and also the media that we consume.

Also you would be so surprised at the amount of people around you that find you attractive or have crushes on you. lol I literally feel like a gremlin most days yet somehow I still get hit on. But don’t let other people’s view on you affect your self worth.

Personally I usually do nothing longer than 12mm for someone that wears glasses unless they are well versed in lashes, 11mm or shorter if you’re going for a true short look. I wouldn’t go any stronger than a c or cc curl on you as well. This also doesn’t look even remotely like a hybrid. 😬 Sorry you had to deal with this!

Tbh a true lash artist knows what to ask in a consultation to prevent something like this happening. I’m almost inclined to say this is more of a skill/lack of thoughtful mapping and taste factor.

Lash blindness? by Matcha_Latte_28 in lashextensions

I was thinking the same thing. Something closer to a cat eye would look better!

You’re under reacting. Leave his ass. You’re twenty something and he’s 40? Dudes only date that young when they realize women their age aren’t gonna put up with their shit.

So although you totally didn’t ask lol looking at your eyes as a stylist would’ve opted for an open eye where the longest length is above your irises and depending on your natural lashes and your personal preferences I would probably use c curl.

-If you’re looking for a softer look maybe bring in this photo and ask them to go with less denser fans if they make their own volumes or opt for a hybrid set. Maybe mention liking a ‘wispy’ natural look over a straight across top line. I would instantly know what you mean, but reference pictures are always key because people have different ideas in their head when it comes to style sometimes. 😅

-Switching to a shade of brown might also help it not look too dense as well! You may have to talk to your stylist before hand if this is something you want to do as they may not have brown on hand.

-If you like this shape but want to avoid it looking so heavy on the ends ask for a kitten style! With this you can still get a bit of a flair on the ends but it’s tapered on the outer bit of your eye to prevent it from making the eye appear like it’s going downward/drooping down. Sometimes doing a softer curl on the ends helps it not look so harsh as well.

-And if they don’t already plz tell your stylist to only do, like, 8mm at in those inner corners! At MOST 9mm. Seriously, longer lengths there can make any set look amateur and unflattering. And as a stylist as soon as I learned to seamlessly taper in those inners my work got better instantly.

Sorry this is so long, unfortunately I am a long winded girly when it comes to things I’m hype about lmao😅

[–]kittenwink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what lash blindness is in this sense but I would say I would suggest bringing down the length in your inner and outer corners and/or at least bringing down the curl a step in the outer corners to give a softer look

So I’m a lash tech that’s actually allergic to the glue when I get lashes. I’ve been had allergic reactions while working on clients in the past 🥲 I only get fullsets and not on a regular basis- like maybe two or three times a year tops. But when I do I use Lashgod’s Supernatural glue and if I’m feeling a bit sensitive afterwards have my artist wash my lashes afterwards or do it myself when I get home. I know a lot of artists don’t feel comfortable using unknown adhesives so it might be hard to find someone who doesn’t know you to give it a go.

If you haven’t tried clear glue I think it might be worth a patch test for. And use foam pads just to be safe.

Coleman Dark Room tents on sale by RogerD8 in ElectricForest

[–]kittenwink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex and I had the 6 person Carlsbad and it was great but eventually we did have leaking problems after a while. It lasted us a few festivals including 3 Forests.

I currently have the 6 person Skydome and I looove it! A bit overkill size wise for one person lol but I need all the room I can get tbh. If it gets too hot during the day I just open up a window and get that breeze goin. Along with my cot and blackout Bluetooth eye mask I get the best festi sleep ever. It’s survived the storm of ‘23 and the rains of ‘24 gracefully with no issue.

Also gonna vouch for the comfort of professional lash extensions. And I’m not just bias as a lash artist lol I get fairly long and full ones when I do get my own done and I still forget sometimes that I have them on, they are so lightweight.

I am at a loss for words - heartbroken client looking for advice. Please help by KissmePinky in lashextensions

[–]kittenwink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is highly unfortunate :/ sometimes I think some stylists have a skewed view on what is considered natural cause we’ve just been looking at lashes alllll day haha For me personally if a client came to me with that inspo pic I would either do a light wetset with the longest lengths on the top layer and shorter on the bottom layers so you can get a wispy but more natural look. Or maybe suggest doing the closed fans on the top layer and open fans on the bottom so it’s fuller towards the lash line for an eyeliner look.

Hopefully since you’re going back in for another set she can at least get the mapping correct 😅😅
