Experience the Magic of Glamor Eyelash Extensions
Nothing adds as much oomph to your look as lash extensions, so why go subtle? With weddings every other weekend, evenings out several times a week, and a simple desire to always look your very best - glamor eyelash extensions might be in order! If you want to turn heads, here’s everything you need to know about glamor lash extensions.
What Are Glamor Lash Extensions?
Glamor lash extensions aren’t an official term, but countless brands and salons have adopted it to signal that a set of lash extensions goes above and beyond. Glamor lash extensions are always noticeable and beautiful, helping to flatter and define your eyes.
That said, glamor lashes can still come in different shapes, styles, and even techniques. Sure, they can be ultra-lush and voluminous, but you can also enjoy classic glamor lash extensions with shorter or heavier fibers.
This more noticeable lash style is ideal for special events, especially if you love wearing lashes all the time and occasionally want a style that takes your look up a notch.
Different Styles of Glamor Eyelash Extensions
With glamor eyelash extensions, you can go from doe-eyed to sultry by switching up the lash map. Here are the different styles of glamor eyelash extensions that you may want to try.
- Cat-eye is the most popular style of glamor lash extensions. It features a graduated lash map where the lashes are shortest near the inner corner of the eye and longest near the outer corner (occasionally with a few shorter lashes on the very end just to keep things balanced). This lash style is very sultry and extremely flattering to most eye shapes - especially for rounded and downturned eyes.
- Doll-eye or rounded lashes feature the longest lash fibers at the center of the lash line. This popular style gives the illusion that the eyes are larger and rounder, so it’s great for achieving a youthful look or flattering small or almond-shaped eyes.
- Staggered lash extensions feature a mixture of fiber lengths that can be very feathery or spiky, depending on the specific lash distribution pattern. They’re ideal for glamor lash extensions with a bit of an edge!
- Classic lashes are an application technique with a single lash extension fiber applied to each natural lash. It’s normally considered a more subtle look, but it can work for glamor lash extensions as long as the extension fibers have enough thickness and length.
- Volume glamor lash extensions feature a bundle of lash fibers attached to each eye. The fibers are fine but densely applied, which creates a soft and voluminous look.
- Hybrid lashes have a unique texture thanks to the combination of volume lash clusters and individual classic lash fibers. They’re a unique, flattering hybrid.
- DIY lash extensions are the next big thing in lash enhancement, allowing you to enjoy glamor eyelash extensions on a budget. Developed in easy-to-apply segments, they fit under the lash line and stay put for up to ten days.
Lilac St. Glamor Lash Extension Styles
You can do your glamor lash extensions at home and have them last for days! At Lilac St, we create DIY extensions that go on effortlessly and in a huge range of gorgeous styles.
Each pair of DIY extensions features five lash segments, saving you time on the application while still offering you enough room to customize your look. You apply them to the underside of your lashes with one of our long-wearing adhesives.
Unlike professional extensions, re-applying your Lilac St. lashes is a breeze, and since the clusters are reusable, you can recreate your look repeatedly. If you’re in the mood for elegance or drama, these are the Lilac St. designs that bring the glam!
Icon
Let’s start with our biggest and worst glamor lash extensions. The Icon DIY lash extensions deliver maximum volume with a fluffy, ultra-dense style. They feature lush clusters of fine lash fibers that look soft to the touch, with darkness and intensity that will make your look unforgettable.
Prism
For a softer and more feminine glamorous look, our Prism lash extensions are an excellent choice. This fairytale design has fluttery volume thanks to smooth, criss-crossing clusters. The mixed-length fibers have a multi-dimensional impact perfect for dynamic glamor without heaviness.
French Lace
Our French Lace lash extensions are ideal for an elegant, glamorous style. They’re never over-the-top but always eye-catching and pristine. They’re made with dark, tightly-clustered lash fibers that crisscross widely for a defined, bold look.
Hollywood
Inspired by Kim K’s signature staggered lashes, here’s our take on Hollywood lash extensions. They have the perfect balance of softness and spikiness, with a wide, triple-tipped spike in each cluster surrounded by wispy strands. You can wear them alone or layer them with one of our other designs for intense glamor.
Midnight
Our Midnight lashes combine depth and darkness with a soft touch for fluffy, glamorous lashes. With fine, tightly-crossing fibers, they’re a soft and voluminous lash option. They have a little more subtlety than our Icon lashes, so they’re the best option for a whimsical yet alluring vibe.
Volume
Finally, Lilac St. Volume lashes are the obvious choice for a look reminiscent of volume lash extensions. Their design features tightly packed little clusters of fluffy lashes in varying lengths for a very lush yet fluttery voluminous look. They’re always on trend while feeling lightweight.
How Long Do Glamor Lash Extensions Last?
Because glamor lash extensions can be achieved with several different techniques, their longevity can vary widely. When it comes to professionally applied extensions, sets usually last two to four weeks before needing a refill. Classic sets, which feature one fiber per lash, usually start getting sparse sooner than volume lash extensions.
With DIY options, the glamor lash extensions can stay for several days at a time, including overnight. The original Lilac Glue is beginner-friendly and stays put for a few days in a row, while our ultra-durable PRO Glue can give you glam lashes for up to 10 days.
Tips for Applying for Glamor Lash Extensions
To get the most out of your glamor lash extensions, we have a few tips to make your application successful.
- Make sure to plan your lash map, based on the style that’ll best suit your eye shape. Aim for cat-eye lashes to lift the eyes upwards, or try a full doll-eye for larger, rounder-looking eyes.
- When using DIY lash extensions, always remember to start with clean, prepped lashes—this will ensure a more long-lasting look.
- For best adhesion, apply glue to both the lash segments and the underside of the lashes.
- Once you’re ready to apply, start with the segment closest to the outer corner of the eye and apply it about one millimeter away from your lash line.
- Apply the next segment, ensuring its base slightly overlaps the previous cluster. Continue applying lash segments one by one.
- Finally, using the applicator tool, “squinch” your lashes and lash segments together and apply a layer of Crystal Coat to seal them in place and remove tackiness.
- Make sure the rest of your look matches your lashes, whether adding a touch of lipstick or giving that final zhuzh to your hair!
