The curl of the artificial eyelashes plays an important role in shaping the extension effect. Thanks to a properly selected bend, you can visually correct the shape of the eyes, emphasize the incision favorably, open your eyes, create an accent, and change the perception of the face as a whole. There are many bending options, basic options, and their counterparts. In the review, we will look at the bends M and LW (analog L) from Stacy Lash LLC .

What is bend M

Completely new in eyelash extensions, the M bend gained a following among lash makers almost immediately after its appearance on the market. Bend M visually opens the gaze, this is perhaps the most important thing in it. Having a straight leg at the base, it lies smoothly on the eyelash, repeating its anatomy.

The M curve is almost universal and fits any type of eye .

The M curve is ideal for the following types of eyes:

  • Deep-set - the bend will visually "reach" the eyes, the curl will be clearly visible. The length should be taken into account - when planting eyelashes on deep-set eyes, it is necessary to use eyelashes 2-3 mm longer than usual because the eyelid eats up the length.
  • A drooping eyelid is a big problem for masters. 70% of such eyelids occur in older clients, but sometimes it occurs as a feature of the type of eyes and at any age.
  • Eyes of the correct almond shape - this is also not common, in this type, there are no bright features. Normal fit, the distance between the eyes, straight corners, and no overhanging eyelid. Such a client can be offered to try the M bend as a variety; with the right choice of scheme, the bend looks very beautiful and expressive.

Bend M does not fit:

  • For small eyes.
  • In the case when the corners are raised, and the eyes themselves are set close to each other.

There are several eyelash extension schemes for which the M bend is well suited:

The fox effect is one of the most popular types of eyelash extensions among clients and masters. The focus is on the outermost corner of the eye. This results in a narrowed fox look. The M bend, like the L, is very well suited for this bend due to the presence of the leg.

Squirrel is a less popular build-up effect, but no less expressive. The emphasis is on the bending of the eyebrow. There the maximum length is set, from which it goes to decrease at the edges.

The squirrel helps to visually open up the gaze, to make it look like a cat's. A fairly universal effect, well suited if you need to visually open the eye without making it narrow.

What is L bend

This option got its name due to its visual similarity with the Latin letter L - the hair has a completely straight base, and then sharply bends towards the tip. Initially, manufacturers positioned it as a bend for the Asian type of eyes, because due to the peculiarities of the structure of the eyelid, the cilia are "hidden", and in order to get them, the very "leg" in the L bend is needed.

The L bend has a number of features:

  • Provides maximum length and unique thickening of eyelashes.
  • Covers drooping eyelids and minor wrinkles.
  • Eyelashes last much longer due to the flat stem and the larger area of ​​the link between the artificial and natural eyelashes.
  • Perfect curvature for an arrow-like effect.

Who is the L bend suitable for?

  • Asian type of appearance . The eye section is slightly raised towards the temporal region, so this asymmetry requires a little balance.
  • Almond-shaped eyes need an additional open-gaze effect.
  • Eyes with a drooping lid . The gaze should be more wide open, and the lower border of the eyelid masked.
  • Close and deep-set eyes . This type of curvature of the cilia makes the look more open and inviting.
  • Middle-aged women . The L-curved lash effect gives a fresh look and hides expression lines.
  • Girls and women who wear glasses . This type of curl allows you to achieve lush lashes.

There are several eyelash extension schemes for which the L bend works well:

  • Arrow effect - visually raises the lowered corners of the eyes, visually stretches the outer corners of the eyes, forming an arrow. Recommended volumetric build-up Arrow from 2-3D and higher - the larger the volume, the clearer the arrow will be.
  • Fox Effect - The Fox effect is perfect for round eyes and bulging. A pronounced effect is obtained when using the L and C curves. For girls with close eyes, the "chanterelle" will also help to correct the look.
  • Squirrel effect - opens the eye as much as possible. Visually lifts the corners and rounds the eye. The difference between the squirrel effect and the fox effect is in the smooth lengthening of the eyelashes from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corner.

    The squirrel effect involves the use of artificial cilia of different lengths, which form arrows, similar to squirrel brushes. When creating the effect, the cilia are combined in such a way that the shortest hairs are attached to the inner side of the eyelid, then, in the second half of the eyelid, the length of the cilia increases sharply, and following to the outer corner of the eye, they become shorter again.
    Eyelashes extended in a squirrel style add mystery to the look. With the correct placement of accents, build-up with a squirrel effect gives the look more expressiveness, but there is no feeling of artificiality.
