Brown Lashes: The New Natural Trend

How to Create a Soft Lash Look Without Sacrificing Volume

Brown eyelash extensions are becoming the latest must-have in the beauty world, and it's not hard to see why. As more clients lean towards natural looks, lash extensions have followed suit, making brown lashes the perfect option for a softer alternative to the bold black extensions.

So, what are brown lash extensions exactly? They’re eyelash extensions that replicate the dark brown shade of natural lashes. Ideal for clients who find black lash extensions too intense, brown lashes create a more subtle, natural appearance without sacrificing the fullness that extensions provide.

Who Should Try Brown Lashes?

Brown eyelash extensions are universally flattering, but some clients will find this trend particularly suited to them. Here’s a breakdown of who will benefit the most from these natural eyelash extensions:

Fair-Skinned Clients

For those with pale complexions, black eyelash extensions can sometimes appear too harsh. Brown lashes are a softer alternative that pair beautifully with lighter complexions, especially with volume lash sets, like russian volume.

Blonde and Redhead Clients

Blondes and redheads often find black eyelash extensions too stark against their lighter hair. For clients looking to enhance their natural beauty without a dramatic contrast, brown lashes blend in effortlessly for a more cohesive look.

Mature Clients

Many mature clients prefer a more subtle approach to their lash extensions and often shy away from thick volume lash sets. Brown lash extensions provide a softer, more natural appearance that’s perfect for this age group. Plus, they’re great for concealing sparse areas in the natural lashes, which black extensions might make more noticeable.

Clients with Small or Close-Set Eyes

Clients with smaller or close-set eyes can sometimes feel that black lash extensions overwhelm their features, making their eyes appear even smaller. Brown eyelash extensions offer a lighter, less intense look, making them ideal for clients who want to enhance their eyes without feeling like the extensions are too heavy or dramatic.

How to Use Brown Lashes

One of the best things about brown eyelash extensions is their versatility. Here are a few techniques to try when using brown lashes:

All-Brown Lashes: For a soft and natural look, using a single shade of brown throughout the set works wonders. This technique is perfect for clients who want natural eyelash extensions that subtly enhance their eyes without being too bold.

Mixing Shades of Brown: Combining different shades of brown creates depth and dimension in the lash look. This technique works well for clients who want to match their lash extensions to their skin tone, giving a custom, multi-dimensional effect.

Mixing Brown and Black Lashes: Blending brown and black lash extensions is a popular method for clients who find all-brown eyelash extensions too warm. This technique creates the perfect balance of natural softness and fuller coverage. A favourite trick is to use brown lashes in the inner corners and transition to black toward the outer edges, creating an elongated, defined eye shape.

PRO TIP: For a natural yet flattering look, apply brown eyelash extensions on the inner corners of the eyes, then gradually transition into black lash extensions on the outer edges. This technique creates a softer look while still offering definition and elongation to the eyes. Be careful using this technique on wide set eyes however, as it can create the illusion that the eyes are further apart.

Recommended Products for Maintaining Your Lash Sets

To achieve flawless brown eyelash extensions, it’s essential to use the right products. Make sure to use a good eyelash cleanser followed by an eyelash primer to prep the lashes before application. Tools like under eye patches and eyelash tape help protect the delicate skin around the eyes during the procedure. Aftercare is crucial for maintaining the longevity of the lash extensions, so make sure your clients know to clean their lashes with a high-quality lash shampoo. You can even offer them a personalised aftercare eyelash extension kit that includes essentials like a lash cleansing brush for easy maintenance at home.
