THE TOP 10 PARTY LASH LOOKS FOR MAKEUP ARTISTS — VOLUME, COMFORT & SPEED RANKED
"I have to make her look expensive in five minutes."
If you are a makeup artist or the friend who does the makeup for every event, you know the party lash is the make-or-break moment.
A party lash has three jobs: Photograph well, stay put on the dance floor, and apply in seconds. Here are the top 10 styles I recommend for every party scenario. I have personally used these on hundreds of faces.
- THE NATURAL VOLUME — Best for client comfort. Adds density without weight.
- THE CAT EYE FLUTTER — Best for high cheekbones. Lifts the face instantly.
- THE WISPY GLAM — Best for photographs. The gaps in the lash catch light beautifully.
- THE FULL DRAMA — Best for bachelorette parties. Maximum impact in low light.
- THE INNER CORNER LIFT — Best for hooded eyes. Opens up the eye shape.
- THE SPIKEY FRINGE — Best for concert goers. A bold, cool girl look.
- THE SOFT CURL — Best for mature clients. Natural, elegant, timeless.
- THE DEEP V — Best for round eyes. Creates an elongated, sultry shape.
- THE MERMAID LASH — Best for themed events. Whimsical and fun.
- THE BOTTOM LASH ACCENT — Best for high fashion shoots. Edgy and editorial.
THE SECRET SAUCE: THE BAND TYPE
Every MUA reading this knows the pain of bubble gum bands. A thick, heavy band is the enemy of a good party lash.
You want a band that is:
- Clear or Near-Transparent (so you don't need winged liner to hide the band).
- Flexible (bends to the unique curve of every client's eye).
- Self-Curing (dries fast, no waiting around).
