If you've only just started then you should be really proud of yourself! The lashes look really good.
The only constructive criticism I was going to make was that some of the inner lashes looked a bit far out from the lashline but then i noticed your comment that your friend said they irritated her here?
If she is having irritation, I would suggest you try shorter lashes on the inner corner, rather than placing them further out. She might find that in a week or so (after a bit of growth) these longer ones will start to twist and droop. And that's REALLY annoying.
That's just my opinion but overall it is a big "WELL DONE" those lashes look really good x

Zoe- if you click my name it should take you through 
Elliebee- thank you! What length would you suggest for the inner lashes? She has long natural lashes and likes them to look really look so I use 14mm 12mm and 11mm so far...would you go down to 10 or even shorter? When shes had them done by someone previously they just left a big gap for her so I followed what they had done....though I thought it a bit strange she is ok with them attached at the root further on the edges?! So maybe its not a glue irritation but more a length thing?? xx

Hi had a quick peak at your lashes - very nice :biggrin: I would re-iterate what Elliebee says and you def need to go shorter on the inside lashes, and apply properly ie closer to the root, by applying so far from the root you are making the lash heavier and therefore putting a strain on the natural lash therefore causing irritation. You need to go down to at least a 9, this may even be the same length as her natural lashes but they will be thicker and will make her appear to have even longer lashes. Dont forget, to give a long full look it is not all about length, put in your skeleton of longer lashes and fill fill fill with shorter lashes this will give you a thicker fuller look. Hope that helps.

Master Lash Tech
I remember having lash extensions on once and the technician used the same length all the way across. The ones in the inner corners drove me mad. They were too long and kept hitting my eyelid!
I always put smaller straighter lashes in the inner corners. This may have been the case with your client. Perhaps the tech before just put lashes on that were too long.
They look really fab seeing as you have just started. It would be nice to see pics where the client has their eyes open and looking straight at the camera, then you get to see how everyone else sees them.
14mm is quite long. I know lots of clients want that full look and it's very easy to think that if you put longer lashes on then you will achieve that effect.
Very often that is not the case. They can sometimes end up looking quite spidery. It's better to put shorter ones on and fill, fill, fill.
I'm not saying that yours look like this, I can't tell without seeing a straight-on picture.
What curl and thickness did you use?
I'd have been well chuffed with these if they were one of my first sets! Mine were truly awful and took me forever!

thank you! I would guess at roughly 80 each eye I tried to fill them out as much as I could but there were a lot of baby lashes!I want to try some new styles out as opposed to longer corners getting shorter, but not sure where to start?!

Ttry keeping them long in the middle, medium on the outside and short on the inside, that's a really good natural look which a lot of my clients go for. Also you can do sets with short on the inside medium fr the middle and outer corner then dot really long ones everycouple of lashes or so from the outside corner inwards to give a false dramatic look.

Hi Chickypie,
I'm doing my training with GlamLash tomorrow (I'm so excited about it!) and I was trying to have a look at tour pictures but I can't see them anywhere (I'm on my iPhone though, do you think this is why?) how did you find the training? And is the deluxe kit good ( that's the one that I have ordered)

Hi K3lly I only come on by the laptop but if you click my name it should take you to my profile and I have a folder of lash pics on there! I had the deluxe kit and its fab you will just need to build up your collection of lengths and thicknesses as you go along, thats what Im experimenting with now! My training was brilliant, I really enjoyed it! And I really LOVE lashing now! good luck! xx
