Show us your lashes!

[facelashbrow]

I've just done my first set since training on Monday and these were for my case study. Bit embarrassed to post, theyre not tooooo bad but probably the worst on this thread
I went for 2 hours, and got 30 on each eye. However, they look really sparse, how many do you usually do for a natural look, on each eye? I was conscious of applying to mid cycle lashes and not weighing down her lashes. As it came to the end, I thought I probably could have added between 10 and 20 extra in a 0.15 (I was doing 0.2) to fill them out as they were a bit sparse. But it had already been two hours and bless her she had been asleep, and my trainer said 2 hours max to start with....

Big ramble but I have started studying all the pics on this thread, and I'm already reconising the curls by sight and I can see what mistakes I made with my friend's lashes, I am happy with them as my first set, but not as good as some first sets on here x

2h 15 min is actually very good! My first sets were taking me over 3.5-4 hours im finally down to 1 h 20 min or so it just takes practice.

I did my first 6 sets free, then just went ahead and charged "special offer" prices for a month or so

It could be that you didnt pluck the lash though (although these things happen and i wouldnt worry, just take it as lesson learned). It could be that that lash needed to come out and by pulling it you just removed it from its position, thats all

Perfection (if that is even possible) comes with practice! I could, if you want me to, upload a pic of lashes i did when i had just started (and they took me 4 hours to do) and the recent set (that took me 1.5 h) on the same person just to compare the difference and boost your confidence a bit

Thankyou! Feel much better now, I guess its just practise! I just didn't apply enough lashes and a couple aren't straight x

This is my very first set, she had hardly any lashes and were very short. I just used 0.20 9mm all over as this was what I had in my kit.
Feedback back would be greatly appreciated.

I think they are amazing for a first set! The only bit noticeable that is missing is the pesky inner corners but i still have trouble with those occasionally. you obviously have a knack for it x

My new favourite set! She is a lasher herself (with a few years experience compared to my mere few months) so i was feeling the pressure, lol. C curl .15 14-10

Those inner corners were a pain, I didn't have any smaller than 9mm so thought best to just avoid. I've got them now though

very nice
but what are express lashes? are these differnt to cluster lashes and individual?

 

[sarahlou06]

This set basically took him 25mins!

Rather than using a pair of tweezers you just have the one & literally just float the individual lashes on to the eyelashes. So there not separately applied. Does that make sense?

He used ah Francis

Would quite like to look into doing this myself!
