Lash map

Lash map.
Every eye shape, every effect.

A lash map is a length plan for the lash line, read from the inner to the outer corner. Each zone gets a length and a curl, and the change from zone to zone creates the look: natural, doll, cat eye, squirrel or wispy. For DIY lash clusters, each cluster sits in one zone, so the map tells you which cluster length goes where.

The map redraws with the length in millimetres above each zone and the curl below.

All 35 lash maps

Lengths in mm, from the inner corner (Z1) to the outer corner. Wide-set eyes: move the longest zone one zone inward. Close-set eyes: move it one zone outward.

From lash map to lash cluster map

Count your zones. These maps use seven zones per eye. With fewer, wider clusters, merge neighbouring zones and use the longer length of the two.
Match lengths to your tray. List the lengths the map needs, from shortest to longest, and check that your cluster tray carries each one.
Keep the steps small. For a natural set keep neighbouring zones within about one millimetre; cat eye and squirrel maps step up faster on purpose.
Place inner to outer. One cluster per zone, under the natural lashes, starting at the inner corner.

Using lash maps in your own brand

A DIY lash brand can print a map with each style, so customers know which length goes where. Send the maps you want with your sample request: we can match cluster lengths and trays to them and plan the kit and its printed instructions.

Map data: LashPlus technical desk volume maps (Style Matcher on lashplusglobal.com). Confirm the lengths available in your cluster tray in the sample specification.

Lash map questions

What is a lash map?

A lash map is a length plan for the lash line, read from the inner to the outer corner. Each zone gets a length and a curl. Where the longest zone sits decides the effect: centre for a doll look, outer corner for a cat eye, just past centre for a natural set.

What is a lash cluster map?

A lash cluster map applies the same zones to DIY lash clusters: one cluster per zone, inner to outer corner, each in the length the map gives. Pick the cluster lengths from your tray to match the zones, and keep neighbouring zones within about one millimetre for a natural set.

What lengths are used in a cat eye lash map?

In these maps a cat eye runs short at the inner corner and builds to the longest lengths in the last two zones, for example 8 to 13 mm on almond eyes. The exact zone lengths for each eye shape are in the tables on this page.

How do I choose a lash map for my eye shape?

Find the eye shape first, then the effect. Hooded eyes keep the length in the centre and outer-centre so it clears the fold; deep-set eyes take a centre peak that lifts the eye out of the socket shadow; downturned eyes get their lift from a stronger curl toward the outer corner; round eyes suit a cat eye map that builds to the outer corner. Each table on this page lists the zone lengths per shape and effect.

Where does this lash map data come from?

The maps are the volume lash maps charted by the LashPlus technical desk for the Style Matcher on lashplusglobal.com, shown here for cluster lashes. Lengths are in millimetres from the inner zone (Z1) to the outer zone. Confirm the lengths available in your cluster tray in the sample specification.
