We have truly outdone ourselves this time! And honestly, we’re not just saying that. We know that those of you who are bold and daring when it comes to lashes most probably already have a soft spot for the L curl, but have you been introduced to the Extreme L curl yet? If you’re on the hunt for a lash curl that offers a sharp, defined, and snatched look, but find that your M and L curls just aren’t cutting it anymore, then the Extreme L curl is about to become your new favourite. So, if you’re eager to learn all there is to know about the boldest lash curl on the market, keep reading!
What Exactly Are Extreme L Curl Lashes?
So, before we dive into the Extreme L Curl, let’s give a nod to its older sister, the L Curl. L Curl and M Curl lashes have become absolute favourites among Lash Technicians, and it’s easy to see why. They’re known for their unique shape that’s perfect for creating the ultimate Fox Eye, Cat Eye, Arrow, and eyeliner lash styles. What makes these curls stand out is their somewhat flat base, which then sweeps upwards – giving that gorgeous lift, especially for lashes that naturally grow downward. But now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the Extreme L Curl.
The Extreme L Curl takes that upward flick and turns it up a notch – or ten! With an entirely flat base and a dramatic 130º angle, these lashes are not just versatile; they’re all about bringing the drama. If you and your clients love a glamorous, striking look with a serious lift, then you need to add the Extreme L Curl to your lash kit!
How to Style the Extreme L Curl
Now, we know what you’re thinking – how do you even begin to fan these fabulously pointed lashes? Well, the good news is, if you’ve already got your fanning technique down, you’re halfway there! We understand they’re quite different from your usual C and CC curls, so a bit of practice might be needed, but if you’re already comfortable with M and L curls, you’ll find these a breeze to work with!
These lashes are 0.07 in diameter, meaning they’re perfect for fans up to 5D. Fine Tip tweezers will be your best bet for working with this curl, and either Fine Tip Volume or Mega Volume Lash tweezers will help you maintain control, precision, and visibility. Before diving into a client’s lashes, take a strip of Extreme L Curl lashes in a length you’re familiar with, and give yourself a little practice session. Trust us, this will boost your confidence and have you ready to create some seriously stunning Extreme Cat Eye lash extensions!
You might be surprised to hear this, but the Extreme L Curl is actually pretty versatile and perfect for any Cat Eye lash map you’re planning. Thanks to their unique shape, you can create the most flawless, snatched siren eyes that might have seemed tricky before.
Extreme Cat Eye (Fox Eye Lashes)
We totally get why the Fox Eye trend has taken the lash world by storm – who can resist that captivating, almond-shaped, lifted look? To get this look, you’ll map your lashes much like you would for a Cat Eye, but to make it an Extreme Cat Eye, you’ll extend your longer lengths even further out for that extra sharpness.
Now, while a standard L Curl can definitely give you a bold look, why not go all the way? The Extreme L Curl will, quite literally, take your Fox Eye lash extension sets to a whole new level of intensity.
Arrow Lashes
At London Lash, we’re all about staying ahead of the beauty trends, and Arrow lashes are no exception. If you haven’t heard of them yet, don’t worry – they’re a style that just vegan to make waves just last year. The name gives it away – Arrow lashes are all about sharpness and direction. They focus on creating a strong, upward lift with a sharp finish, making the Extreme L Curl the perfect choice. They offer a bold, modern twist on traditional Cat Eye eyelash extensions.
To perfect this fierce look, map out wide sections in your lash map with shorter lashes and softer curls towards the inner corners of the eyes. Then, transition to sharper, longer lengths towards the outer corners to create that arrow-like point. Adding the Extreme L Curl into the mix will help you achieve a truly striking and dramatic finish.
Eyeliner Effect Lashes
If your client is looking for a set of lashes that mimic the bold definition of eyeliner yet add volume, the Eyeliner Effect lash style is the perfect two-in-one solution for those who want a dramatic, defined eye look. Eyeliner Effect lashes create the illusion of perfectly applied eyeliner – who wouldn’t want that? The result is eyes that pop with intensity, mimicking the look of actual eyeliner. Whether you’re a professional offering your clients something fresh or you have clients looking to spice up their daily beauty routine, this is the style to go for!
To get this look, you’ll start with shorter lash lengths across the entire lash line, gradually increasing in length towards the outer corners of the eyes. If you want to take things up a notch and incorporate the Extreme L Curl, try mixing in softer curls across the eye, and then add the show-stopping Extreme L Curls towards the outer corners for that ultra-glamorous finish.
London Lash Top Tip: For a seamless blend, remember to map wider sections of your shorter lengths.
Although bold, the Extreme L Curl, despite what you may think, is a versatile lash curl and is seriously the one to choose when it comes to creating a cutting-edge cat eye! Even if you’re feeling a bit hesitant, we say just go for it! Challenge yourself – you might just create something truly incredible. At the end of the day, it’s all about what feels right for each client, and for those who love making an entrance, these curls are sure to be a winner!
