volume lashes, cat eye style

If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up with effortlessly full, long lashes, lash extensions at Prep Beauty Parlour might be the answer. With so many different styles and techniques available, lash extensions can be customized to achieve any look. From subtle enhancement to dramatic glam.

Here’s an in-depth look at the different types of lash extensions, so you can find the style that’s perfect for you.

The first step would be to decide which type of lash extensions you want. There is classic, mixed and volume. This is the difference between how many individual extensions are glued to each of your natural eyelashes.

Classic Lash Extensions $99 full set

Classic lash extensions are the go-to for a natural, beautiful look. This method involves applying one extension to each of your natural lashes, creating a look that’s full yet subtle. Ideal for those who already have a good amount of natural lashes, classic extensions add length and a slight boost in volume.

  • Best for: Those looking for a natural, enhanced look.
  • Pros: Low maintenance, natural-looking.
  • Cons: Limited in terms of volume and fullness, may look sparse on people with thin natural lashes.

Mixed Lash Extensions $165 full set

Mixed lash extensions are a blend of classic and volume lashes, combining the best of both worlds. This style is achieved by mixing single classic lashes with fans of volume lashes, resulting in a textured, full, yet natural look. Hybrid lashes are popular for those who want more volume than classics provide but aren’t ready for the full drama of volume lashes.

  • Best for: Anyone wanting a fuller yet natural look.
  • Pros: Customizable, provides a natural but voluminous appearance.
  • Cons: Slightly more expensive than classic extensions, requires skilled application

Volume Lash Extensions $ 195 full set

Volume lash extensions take things a step further by applying multiple lightweight lash extensions to each natural lash. Depending on the number of extensions used, volume lashes create a fluffy, voluminous look. Volume lashes are perfect for clients who have sparse natural lashes but want a fuller effect.

  • Best for: Those looking for a more dramatic, glamorous look.
  • Pros: Great for adding fullness, highly customizable.
  • Cons: Requires a bit more maintenance, can be heavier on the natural lashes if not done correctly.

 

The next step is to choose what design or style you would like. This is the difference of the lengths and curl of the lash extensions.

Cat Eye Lash Extensions

Cat eye lash extensions focus on enhancing the outer corners of the eye by using longer extensions toward the outer lashes. This creates a lifted, almond-shaped effect. Cat eye lashes are popular for people with rounder eyes or for those wanting a sultry, winged look.

  • Best for: Those wanting an elongated, winged look.
  • Pros: Accentuates the eye shape, flattering for many eye shapes.
  • Cons: Not ideal for all eye shapes; can look droopy on downturned eyes.

Doll Eye Lash Extensions

Doll eye extensions involve placing longer extensions in the centre of the eyelid to create a wide-eyed, doll-like look.This style opens up the eyes, making them appear larger and rounder, which is perfect for individuals with smaller or hooded eyes.

  • Best for: People with smaller or hooded eyes, or anyone wanting an “open-eyed” look.
  • Pros: Creates the illusion of larger eyes, great for round eyes.
  • Cons: Not ideal for already round eyes; can create an overly dramatic look if not balanced.

Wispy Lash Extensions

Wispy lash extensions are characterized by their textured, uneven look, where certain lashes are intentionally placed longer than others. This technique mimics the look of strip lashes, creating a staggered, messy, and highly textured style.

  • Best for: Anyone wanting a bold, textured look.
  • Pros: Edgy, highly customizable, mimics the look of strip lashes.
  • Cons: Needs skilled application for the best results, may require more maintenance.

 

How to Choose the Right Lash Extension for You

When deciding on a lash extension type, consider your eye shape, natural lash thickness, and the kind of look you want. Classic extensions work well for anyone wanting a natural boost, while volume, and hybrid lashes can add drama and fullness. Specialty shapes like cat eye or doll eye styles can enhance eye shape for a unique effect.

Lash extensions offer a world of possibilities for enhancing your look. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a red-carpet-ready glam, there’s a lash extension style to fit your needs. With the right type of lash, you’ll enjoy beautiful, hassle-free lashes that are tailored to your style.

When the Beauty Blender hit the market a couple of years ago, it was an immediate hit and became a makeup kit essential. Today, with the craze and obsession of “contouring”, not owning a Beauty Blender is soo, like, what are you even doing with your life?!! Here at Prép Beauty Parlour, not only do we carry multiple packages and variations of this nifty little tool, we also have the newest addition to the Beauty Blender family. World, meet the Blotterazi!!

Thats where Beauty Blender has scored yet again, with the reusable, washable, every nook-and-cranny fitting Blotterazzi. This awesome holy grail product comes in the classic Beauty Blender hot pink, and in each (ventilated for hygienic purposes- awesome!) egg-shaped mirrored compact comes two blotters, that are shaped like an egg to fit all contours of the face and have a plastic sheet to separate them to stop the spread of bacteria from each other. The compact is small and easy to keep in your purse for all day oil protection. It also comes with a packet of liquid Blendercleanser to make washing a breeze! The Blotterazzi is designed to absorb oil without disturbing your makeup or irritating the skin (use dry), and with the super plush, light sponge, whats not to love?

Retailing at Prép for just $30, a perfect investment for yourself (save money of blotting papers) or an even better stocking stuffer for the makeup lover on your list. Why not check out some of the other awesome Beauty Blender products we carry while your at it?
