Oriental Eyelashes Picture Source

Oriental eyelashes may be short and thin, making the application of eyelash extensions more intricate.  The lashes  may also be sparse and straight. While the base of the individual lashes attach to the straight natural lashes easily, the sparse natural lashes require advanced application techniques such as layering to achieve a full and glamorous look if required (This is of course a generalisation so might not be the so in some cases.) 




Factors to Consider When Applying Eyelash Extensions on Oriental Eyes



Tools to Use in the Application of Eyelash Extensions for Oriental Eyes
It is advisable to use a fine tip tweezers for oriental eyelashes as this will allow for easy separation if the lashes are fine.



The Size of Oriental Eyes
Some Oriental may be very small. In this case, the construction of the lashes should be geared towards widening the eyes to make them larger. A recommended eyelash construction style would be to apply longer lashes at the the mid section of the eyes and shorter lashes on either corners to open and enlarge the eyes.  

The Shape of Oriental eyes
In some cases the tear duct corners of the the eyes may droop more than the outer corner. The weight of the lashes and its length should be lighter and shorter to prevent the eyes from looking smaller.

The Lash Line of Oriental Eyes
It is also important to consider the lash line when applying eyelash extensions to Asian eyes. If the lash line is covered by the eyelids, the length and curl of the lashes should be chosen carefully to achieve the desired effect.





Applying Individual Eyelash Extensions on Oriental Eyelashes with Single Eyelid

A micropore tape case be used to lift the eyelid slightly to allow the lashes to be easily visible and properly separated for application. I would be helpful to use a silk tape rather than a collagen eye pad for the application. The silk tape is lighter than the pad and allows more space to work.





Eyelash Extensions Curl Appropriate for Oriental Eyelashes


It may be tempting to use a C or D curl to add some definition to the eye. This may however cause discomfort as the tip of the curl may irritate the eyelids. J curls have a slight curl that looks natural on oriental eyes. For a more glamorous look a B Curl may be used as it has a stronger curl than the J Curl. J and B curls are more suited to those with straighter lashes as it gives a subtle definition to their natural curl.
