Plus, they’re a total knockout in lash competitions thanks to their exaggerated, cartoonish flair.

How To Map Manga Lashes?

Tailoring lash extensions to your client's face and eye shape is crucial, and we've simplified the process with our complimentary Manga lash map. Whether aiming for a bold, wispy effect or a subtler look, our guide assists in achieving the perfect style.

Manga lashes are all about the drama, featuring long, spiky segments that stand out against a backdrop of shorter, fluffier lashes. Start with a foundation of shorter lashes at the bottom layer, building up to the dramatic spikes on top. Space these spikes evenly to enhance their visual impact, creating that sought-after doe-eyed look.

Top Layer: Opt for 0.05 lashes ranging from 10mm to 14mm, tapering off towards the outer edges.

Middle Layer: Use 0.05 closed fans from 8mm to 12mm for a seamless middle layer that supports the dramatic spikes above.

Bottom Layer: This layer uses softer, fluffier fans in 0.04, ranging from 6mm to 10mm, adding depth and dimension.

Curls: Choose curls that complement your client’s natural lashes. Discover more about selecting the right lash curls here.

Tip from London Lash: For the easiest spike application, apply Primer with a micro swab to the lash tips while they're still on the strip. This keeps the tips aligned and makes them easier to handle, just avoid the lash bases to prevent quick-setting glue issues.
