Are you ready to give your guests the ultimate wide-eyed, dreamy look? Doll eyelash extensions are the secret weapon every lash artist needs in their artistry arsenal. Let Borboleta’s O.G. Lash Extensions have a show-stopping upper hand in all your lash sets while they take the beauty industry by storm, and for good reason! Let's dive into the world of Doll Eyelash Extensions and discover why they're having their big moment in the lash industry. 

What are Doll Eyelash Extensions?

Imagine waking up every day with lashes that make you feel like you've stepped out of a fairytale. That's the magic of doll eyelash extensions. These stunning lashes are designed to create a wide-eyed, innocent look that's both captivating and feminine. Think of your favorite cartoon character with those big, beautiful eyes – that's the essence of the doll lash style.

Doll Eye lash styles are characterized by their graduated length, with the longest lashes placed in the center of the eye and gradually shorter lashes towards the inner and outer corners. This creates a rounded, open-eye effect that's simply irresistible. The result? Eyes that appear larger, more awake, and quite enchanting.

As a lash artist, understanding different lash styles is crucial to offering your guests the perfect look for their unique features and preferences. Doll lashes are quickly becoming a guest favorite, and mastering this technique will set you apart in the competitive world of lash extensions.

 

Why Your Guests Will Love Doll Eyelash Extensions

1. Eye-Opening effect: Doll lashes create the illusion of larger, more open eyes, giving your guests a fresh, awake look that lasts for weeks.

2. Versatile glam: Perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions, doll lashes offer a versatile look that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

3. Youthful appearance: The innocent, wide-eyed effect of doll lashes can take years off your guest’s appearance, boosting their confidence.

4. Customizable drama: Easily tailored to each guest’s desired level of drama, from subtle enhancement to full-on glam.

5. Frame-worthy selfies: Let's face it – doll lashes are incredibly photogenic. Your guest’s will love how their eyes pop in every picture, allowing you to capture more content! 

Compared to other lash styles, doll lash extensions offer a unique blend of drama and softness. While cat-eye lashes elongate the eyes and volume lashes focus on fluffiness, doll lashes create a rounded, open effect that's truly one-of-a-kind.

Who These Lashes Are For

Doll lash extensions are incredibly versatile, but they work especially well for certain eye shapes and lash types:

• Hooded eyes: The graduated length of doll lashes can help open up hooded eyes, creating the illusion of more lid space, opening up the eye by applying the longest lash in the center of the eye. 
• Deep-Set eyes: Doll lashes can help bring the deep-set eyes forward, making them appear more prominent and open. 
• Sparse lash line: Guests with thin or sparse natural lashes will love the fullness and drama that doll extensions provide.
• Asymmetrical Eyes: For guests with two slightly different eye shapes, doll lashes can be customized to create a more balanced, symmetrical look. 

Although, with the right technique, you can adapt doll lashes to flatter any eye shape or lash type. It's all about customizing the look to enhance your guest’s unique features.

How to Apply Doll Eyelash Extensions

Ready to create some doll-like magic? Here's everything you need to know about applying eyelash extensions like a pro in order to achieve the Doll Eye lash style on your guests.

Supplies Needed:

• Borboleta OG Lash Extensions, exact lengths + diameters determined after consultation. 
• Borboleta Go-To Adhesive 
• Tweezers
• Bio Gel eye pads
• Premium tape 
• Microswabs
• Lash Primer or Pre-treatment
• Lash cleanser 
• Cleansing Brush 
• Nano Mister
• Lash wand
• Calming Cooldown Eyemasks

Step 1: Consultation

Start with a thorough consultation to understand your guest’s desired look, lifestyle, and lash health. This is your opportunity to show off your professionalism as a lash artist and to educate them about doll eye lash extensions and ensure their expectations align with the results.

Step 2: Lash Care

Before diving into the application, set clear lash care expectations with your guests. Explain the importance of keeping their lashes clean and avoiding oil-based products around the eyes. Washing their lashes at least once a day is a requirement to achieve great lash retention and maintain the health of the natural lashes.  

Next, cleanse your guest’s natural lashes using Borboleta Lash Bath Gel Cleanser. This removes any oils or debris that could interfere with adhesion. Apply Bio Gel Eye pads to protect the lower lashes and secure them down with tape. If needed, move forward to prepping the lashes with Pre-Treatment or Lash Primer. 

Step 3: Mapping and Lash Design

Now comes the fun part – creating your custom lash design! For doll lashes, you'll want to focus on building volume and length in the center of the eye. First, determine the length of your guest’s longest natural lashes. Remember, in order to keep your guest’s natural lashes as healthy as possible, only extend the lash extensions 2mm longer than the longest natural lash. Here's a general guide for a Doll Eye Lash Design: 

- Inner Corner: Start with shorter lengths (7-9mm)

- Middle: Build up to your longest lengths (10-12mm)

- Outer Corner: Gradually decrease length (11-8mm)

For curl, opt for a CC or D curl to achieve that wide-eyed, lifted look. Remember, these are just guidelines – always customize based on your guest’s eye shape and desired look.

Step 4: Application + Technique 

Using your Borboleta tweezers, carefully isolate a single natural lash, pick up the needed lash extension and dip the base in your Borboleta Go-To Adhesive. Apply the extension to the isolated natural lash, about 1mm from the lash line. 

As you work your way across the lash line, focus on building that characteristic doll-eye shape and even symmetry. The center lashes should be the longest and fullest, creating a rounded effect

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Once you've achieved the desired fullness, it's time for those crucial finishing touches:

• Check for any gaps in the lash line and fill them in for a seamless, symmetrical look.
• Gently brush through the lashes with a clean lash wand to check for any lashes that may have stuck together or stuck on gel pads/tape.
• Carefully remove the gel pads and tape
• Treat your guest to a Borboleta Calming Cooldown Mask to soothe the under-eye area and complete the luxurious lash experience.

Step 6: Guest Aftercare

Send each of your guests home with clear aftercare instructions to protect their investment. Here’s some things to keep in mind: 

• Wash lashes daily with Borboleta Lash Bath Gel or Foam Cleanser 
• Use only oil-free products around the eyes to prevent premature shedding.
• Gently brush lashes daily with a clean lash wand to maintain their fluffy, doll-like appearance.
• Recommend Borboleta Lash Serum to nourish their natural lashes and promote healthy growth.
• Schedule regular fill appointments every 2-3 weeks to keep their doll lashes looking fresh and full.
