MATCH IT

Using coloured eyelash extensions that compliment the client's eye colour is a beautiful way to accentuate features. If a client has blue eyes, try using subtle blue lashes in the outer corners of the lash line, and similarly with other colours.

PLAY WITH LAYERS

Placing coloured lashes on different layers of the lash line creates different effects. If you place coloured lashes on the top layer - it will give a soft hint of the colour. This is mostly visible when the client closes their eyes.

Placing lashes in the middle layer of the lash line makes them seem evenly mixed with black extensions but they're still visible enough for the effect and pop of colour. This provides a subtle and blended effect.

If your place the coloured extensions on the bottom layer the colour will be more noticeable and provide a vibrant pop. Applying the coloured lash extensions to the bottom layer of the lash line makes them most visible to all the other techniques. This effect is hypnotising and bold.
