Eyelash extensions droopy eyelids

Many women of different ages are looking for ways to get rid of their drooping eyelids. Special eye creams and massages are usually not very successful for drooping eyelids.

But are Botox injections and plastic surgery absolutely necessary? Or can you successfully conceal drooping eyelids with lash extensions?

Hide drooping eyelids with eyelash extensions - is that possible?

For clients with droopy eyelids, it is important to know how to choose the right shape, curl and length . This allows the stylist to make the eyes appear wider and more open.

Extended eyelashes conceal optical imperfections such as drooping eyelids well - provided you choose the right effect and technique.

As a rule, only experienced stylists can successfully master this task.

After all, the eyelash stylist determines which curl should be chosen for each drooping eyelid in order to achieve a perfect result with the eyelash extension.

This depends on various factors; how droopy the upper eyelid is, what is the shape of the eyes, etc.

Eyelash extension for drooping eyelids

For eyes with such peculiar eyelids, you must choose a thick volume and long eyelashes for your eyelash extensions. This will hide this undesirable anatomical feature and reduce a "tired look".

Therefore, depending on the severity of the drooping eyelids, not only eyelash extension but also eyelash thickening is necessary.

Consider both your client's overall appearance and the condition of her own natural eyelashes when choosing volume.

Lash Extension for Drooping Eyelids - Goals

• Eyelids that appear heavy should be covered as well as possible
• Eyes should appear larger after extension
• the shape should be changed slightly
• the look should be given lightness

Such a peculiarity of the upper eyelid does not necessarily only occur in older women. So sooner or later you will be confronted with it - even if all your clients are still young.

In order to offer each client the best result, you have to pay as much attention as possible to their individual eye shape and facial features and choose the false eyelashes accordingly.

As mentioned before, the choice of false eyelashes must be made carefully in terms of length and effect. However, the trick here is not to make the eyelashes too voluminous or unnaturally long.

Because this draws more attention to the eyes than necessary. After all, we want to conceal the drooping eyelids.

It is important to accurately determine the type, size and symmetry of the skin fold.

Which curl and thickness for eyelash extensions?

In order to cleverly conceal the anatomical characteristics of the respective eyes, you must carefully consider the shape, length, volume and curl before applying eye extensions to eyes with drooping eyelids.

For example, eyelashes that are too long are rather suboptimal, as the tips of such eyelids often lie directly against the eyelids and this can cause irritation.

Four options for choosing the right curl:

1. C+ If the client’s natural eyelashes grow straight or slightly upwards
2. D Is chosen to open the eyes further and for straight natural eyelashes
3. M is a universal curl and fits almost always. Our tip: Use M if none of the above options seem suitable

What is the right strength for droopy eyelids?

Since this type of eyes often appear in women of a certain age, it is important to mention here that the choice of volume, effect and curl must of course also be adapted to the age of the client.

A strong effect that looks good on a young girl could be "over the top" on a lady over 50.

Our recommendation for the right strength for drooping eyelids (especially for older ladies) is a maximum of 0.07mm eyelashes.

What is the best volume when working with droopy eyelids?

Since older women's own eyelashes are often a little weaker, they can no longer wear fans that are too large. However, as mentioned earlier, larger volumes are better for thickening eyelashes to conceal drooping eyelids, so we recommend thin eyelashes.

Which eyelash extension effect should you choose for drooping eyelids?

The choice of effect (shape) also plays a major role when working with eyelids of this type.

In principle, eyelash shapes can be divided into two large groups:

Group A: Round effects: For example Doll Eye , Butterfly (Oval), Squirrel

Group B: Long effects: Cat Eye, Fox Effect, Eye-Liner Effect, etc.

Round effects often make the eyes appear larger, while elongated effects make close-set eyes appear wider apart.

Since eyes with drooping eyelids already appear small, round effects from group A are particularly suitable here.

Cat eye look for droopy eyelids?

The cat eye look is an elongated effect that further narrows the shape of the eye instead of making the eye appear more open.

So if a client with droopy eyes asks you for a cat eye look, explain to her that a cat eye would make her eyes look even smaller.

Therefore, cat eye, fox effect and eyeliner effect are not suitable for eyelash extensions for drooping eyelids!

Suitable effects for drooping eyelids:

Squirrel Effect - Here the longest eyelashes are applied under the arch of the eyebrow. The special length of the eyelashes in this effect makes it possible to hide drooping eyelids wonderfully. The special form of eyelash modeling also makes the client's eyes appear a little larger.

Doll effect is achieved by fixing eyelashes of equal length along the eyelash growth line. The length is slightly less near the outer corner of the eye. For clients with round eyes and a slanting eyelid, it is better to choose a different effect.

The “doll effect” is ideal for Asian-looking customers with slightly slanted eyes. The lash stylist often applies eyelash extensions not only to the upper lashes, but also to the lower lashes.

Butterfly Effect (or Oval) was created due to the ultra-thin and light material from which the artificial eyelashes are made. The blinking of a woman wearing this effect is reminiscent of the flapping of a butterfly's wings. Since the material is very light, there is no arrow effect. Basically, the eyelashes are very reminiscent of those of the Fox Effect.

We hope that we have been able to show that thanks to eyelash extensions it is not absolutely necessary to undergo surgical intervention.

The additional volume and length of the eyelashes make the skin fold less visible, while the correct shape of the lash line makes the eyes appear more open.

Since this is a difficult matter, stylists who are still at the beginning of their careers should leave this work to more experienced colleagues.
