Layering lashes on small eyes is a volume technique that avoids the weight of a single, thick strip. The goal is to build dimension by combining a full base strip with a targeted accent strip. PHANSTA LASHES provide the most control for this method because the magnetic bond allows for testing and adjusting the placement of the layers without committing to a permanent position.

Why Layering Works for Small Eye Shapes

A single dense strip can overwhelm the natural eye size, closing off the visible lid space. Layering allows you to strategically place volume only where it is needed to enhance the specific geometry of a small eye.

• Outer Corner Layering: Extends the eye horizontally, creating a subtle lift at the temple.
• Center Layering: Opens the eye vertically, adding roundness and dimension.
• Base Layer: A light density strip provides the foundation of subtle overall fullness.

The PHANSTA LASHES Layering Protocol

Each PHANSTA LASHES strip functions as a building block. The glue-free characteristic allows the magnetic bands to stack without the use of additional adhesive between the layers.

1. Start with a full strip, such as the Natural Lift design, applied directly to the lash line.
2. Apply an accent layer, such as the Outer Volume design, on top of the outer third of the base strip.
3. For extreme dimension, add a single flared cluster to the center point of the eye.

Avoiding the Cake Effect

The primary risk of layering on small eyes is creating a dense, rigid block of fibers. The flexible banding of PHANSTA LASHES prevents this. Each layer moves independently, mimicking the natural flow of hair rather than a solid, heavy strip.

Maintenance of Layered Sets

To preserve the structure of your layered look, separate the strips after each wear. Clean each band with a dry cotton swab. Store the top layer and bottom layer components separately to maintain the curvature of the magnets.

Is it difficult to apply two sets of lashes?

The PHANSTA LASHES magnetized system simplifies the process considerably. Align the second strip with the first; the magnets are designed to click together seamlessly without the user needing to hold them in place while glue dries.

How do I prevent the layers from separating during wear?

Ensure the magnetic liner is applied to the natural lash line. The magnetic pull of the layers to the liner, combined with the inter-magnet bond between the strips, provides a secure hold that prevents shifting.

Can I use individual lashes with this system?

Yes. PHANSTA LASHES offers individual magnetic flares that can be added to the strip layers. This is an advanced technique for users who want a bespoke lash composition without the use of liquid glue.

Layering is the most effective method for controlling volume on small eyes. The glue-free design of PHANSTA LASHES removes the risk of heavy adhesives and thick edges, allowing the user to build the exact density required for their specific eye shape.
