What Are Cat Eye Lashes?
What defines cat eye eyelash extensions? It is the signature design where we place shorter lengths at the inner corner of the eye, gradually extending toward the outer edge. This makes for a lifted, elongated effect—an eyeliner effect, actually—hence the term “cat eye.”
What it mainly aims at? To stretch and raise the outer eye, crafting a smooth and charming outline that resembles the shape of a cat’s eye. It’s very common among clients who need a more charming, somewhat intense look without being too much.
Who Are Cat Eye Lashes Best For?
Not all cat eye lashes are the same; they are best suited for most of the beauty-loving people, only if one knows the eye shape.
Excellent on:
Round eyes (boosts dimension and lift)
Close-set eyes (makes eye spacing appear wider)
Almond-shaped eyes (complements natural contour)
Hooded eyes (helps to open outwards)
Not so great on:
Downturned eyes (may worsen the droop)
Deep-set eyes (may emphasize shadowing)
Naturally wide-set eyes (may look too spaced out)
Swaniya helps lash artists personalize lash styles for each customer. Our mapping guides and styling instruments provide eye shape diagnostics so the cat eye look is tailored, not general.
Different Types of Cat Eye Lash Styles
Not all cat eyes are the same. Whether you’re looking for a natural lift or a dramatic wing, these cat eye lash variations provide different results:
1. Classic Cat Eye Lashes
1:1 lash ratio. Suitable for beginners.
Swaniya’s Classic Lashes have a gentle C-curl without the extreme lift.
2. Volume Cat Eye Lashes
Two or three lash fans per natural lash boosts up volume.
Volume Lash Fans 0.07 create perfect density without adding weight.
3. Wispy Cat Eye Lashes
Alternating short and long lengths for a “layered” look.
Grab our Premade Wispy Spikes Lashes to assemble some controlled chaos with accuracy.
5. Fox Eye Lashes
An advanced modification of sharper outer corners and deeper curls (D or L curls).
These Swaniya’s D-curl lash trays help achieve that lifted fox-like edge.
6. Doll-Cat Combination
Begin with doll eye mapping and extend to cat tail for a balanced open and lifted eye. Suitable for smaller eyes wanting brightness as well as elongation.
Cat Eye Lash Mapping: The Professional Approach
Being aware that lash mapping helps ensure a flattering and symmetric look, here is an example of a typical cat eye map (mm):
Inner Corner → Outer Corner:
8mm → 9mm → 10mm → 11mm → 12mm → 13mm → 14mm (outer edge)
Pro Tip: Vary these up based on eye length and lash strength. Swaniya’s Lash Mapping Stickers along with Mapping Rulers help artists keep consistent, repeatable styles.
Couple cat eye maps with Swaniya’s Anti-Allergy Glue for sensitive-eyed clients to minimize irritation without compromising adhesion.
Common Mistakes to Avoid with Cat Eye Lashes
Not Adapting to the Natural Eye Shape: Applying cat eye lashes without adapting to the client’s natural eye shape may result in a droopy or unbalanced look.
Excessive Length at the Tail: Long outer lashes look beautiful but going overboard causes lash droop or premature fall-out.
Incorrect Curl Choice: A C-curl may be too flat for clients with straight lashes. Swaniya offers curls from C to L+, a perfect solution for fitting any eye type.
