Many women choose to accentuate their eyes with eyelash extensions, including ladies who wear glasses. In order to give them an eye-catching look, but still ensure optimal comfort while wearing them, this procedure requires a careful approach from you as a lash artist. To help you get the best results, we've prepared some useful recommendations below! Here's what you need to keep in mind!

Advise your client to wear glasses at the initial consultation

One of the most important steps when working with clients who wear glasses is to plan a thorough initial consultation. Glasses can vary considerably in shape, size and style, and these aspects can significantly influence how eyelash extensions should be applied.

So, to get as clear an idea as possible of the looks you can achieve depending on the shape of your eyes and the way the frame of the glasses sit on your face, ask your client to wear the glasses at the initial consultation.

Carefully study the distance between the natural lashes and the lenses of the glasses and try to determine what lengths and curves of lashes wire by wire would be most appropriate. Discuss with the client her preferences and expectations to ensure that the final result will be successful!

Suggest using extensions that have more pronounced curves

Eyelash extensions that have more pronounced curves offer multiple benefits for people who wear glasses. They can create a more dramatic look to the eyes, counteracting the "shrinking" effect that some glasses can have. Also, accentuated curves can create a strong lifting effect, keeping the lashes in a more upright position and thus preventing the lashes from touching the lens or frame of the glasses.

To achieve an accentuated, open look, it is recommended to use C or D curved eyelash extensions instead of variants such as L, J or B, which take up more space on the horizontal axis. For example Uander Fan 6D CC strand lashes are a great choice!

 

Avoid applying long eyelash extensions in the central eyelid area

Another important technique you can use for people who wear glasses is to avoid applying very long eyelash extensions, especially in the central area of the eyelid. Long extensions applied in this area tend to touch the lenses of the glasses, which can cause significant discomfort.

To harmoniously emphasise the shape of the eyes without interfering with the lenses of the glasses, try extending the length of the natural lashes by just 1-2 millimetres. You can also opt to apply longer extensions to the outer corners of the eyes only, and achieve a feminine and attractive look with a slight lengthening effect without weighing down the central eyelid area.

Recommends moderate density

Very dense and heavy eyelash extensions might be more difficult to wear, especially if the client uses glasses or computer goggles on a daily basis. So, recommend eyelash extensions with moderate density that provide a balanced, natural look and can blend harmoniously with your glasses.

You can achieve such a look if you apply lower volume strands, such as 1D or 2D, and stick to using a moderate number of extensions. If, however, the client wants a look that stands out, you can opt for Hypnotic Split 0.12 mm eyelash extensions, which create a richer effect with their double tip and deep black shade.

 

These extensions are lightweight for added wearing comfort and come in a mix box with lengths ranging from 7mm to 14mm, allowing you to easily create a custom look.

Always use high quality products

Your eyewear clients will be able to enjoy successful and long-lasting results if you choose to always work with quality products and tools, like those from Barhat! Opt for high quality eyelash extensions like the ones we've shown you above and use them together with the right adhesive to ensure a long-lasting and comfortable fit.

Talk to your client about her skin sensitivities and use hypoallergenic products if you want to reduce the risk of allergies. For easy handling of strands during the process, make sure you have quality eyelash tweezers on hand. Don't forget to equip your workspace with the necessary accessories, such as a work lamp that ensures optimal visibility!

So styling eyelash extensions for clients who wear glasses requires a careful and personalised approach. By understanding the specific needs of these clients, you will be able to create a look that perfectly matches the glasses worn.
