The Rise of Squirrel Lashes: Why This Subtle Yet Stylish Trend Is Taking Over
Step aside cat eyes and doll lashes, there’s a new lash queen in town and it’s squirrel lashes. This flattering lash style has been gaining popularity seen throughout salons and social media. And for good reason! Whether you’re just going for a little bit of a natural lift, some soft glamour or full-blown elegant enhancement that flatters almost every eye shape, then squirrel lashes is incredibly likely to be your perfect match.
Squirrel eyelashes are beautiful for many clients, and in this company presentation, they will explain the beauty in each of the diverse clients the soft, chic look with a professional grade of comfort with Swaniya’s premium lash products.
What Are Squirrel Lashes?
The squirrel lash style is derived from the graceful sloping curve of a squirrel’s tail. A mapping technique, therefore: lash lengths begin at the inner corner of the eye, rise most beneath the brow’s highest point, then decline softly towards the outside.
As opposed to the overwhelming winged lift of cat-eye lashes, squirrel lashes present a subtle lift preserving a more rounded, elongated shape. The bottom line? Eyes that appear brighter, more alert, and subtly enhanced by nature – not over the top.
The Art of Squirrel Lash Mapping
Squirrel lash look lashing has three basic components; correct lash mapping, using length to follow a natural-looking progression, and deep understanding of the anatomy of every client’s eyes. So, this is an example of squirrel lash map: Inner corner: from 8 mm to 9 mm long lengths that create the first point they touch not as heavy Mid-lid to brow arch: 11mm-13mm their peak being just underneath the natural arch Outer corner: they are tapered slowly back to medium-short lengths at about 9mm-10mm
Swaniya’s lash artists recommend using B or C curls to give a gentle lift with softness. For clients wanting more drama, add a slight D curl, particularly around the arch of the brow.
Who Should Choose Squirrel Lashes?
One of the major advantages of squirrel lashes is the versatility of design. Almond eyes: gives extra symmetry to the natural shape. Downturned eyes: lifts and balances the outer corner. Round eyes: gives an elongated look. Hooded eyes: opens the eye very subtly without the added bulk. Close-set eyes: Outer half lash concentration placed at the arch helps in taking eyeballs outside.
Client-wise squirrel lashes are much in demand amongst the first time clientage as they prefer keeping their lash extensions subtle. It is often very much appreciated among professionals seeking softer, yet corporate appeal.
