    For owners of an overhanging eyelid, eyelash extensions are a real solution. This service will help to correct the complex eyelid, will hide the overhang. Not every effect will suit such clients, with the curls of eyelashes also need to be extremely careful. Professional lashmaker must correctly select the right technique to not emphasize the overhanging eyelid, but on the contrary correct it.

Before eyelash extensions, the most important thing is to correctly identify the place of overhang. And only then you can begin to select the curl, length, thickness and effect of eyelash extensions.

A droopy eyelid can occur:

- in the outer corner

- in the inner corner of the eye

- overhang on the entire eyelid

Usually, the main tasks that need to be solved in eyelash extensions on an overhanging eyelid are:

- to visually hide the overhang

- make the look more open, deep

- make the eyes visually larger

- if necessary, correct the shape of the eyes

Some curls can help to solve these problems. We recommend using Lovely lashes in L, L+, M and D curls first, with C+ if necessary. These curls are a real lifesaver for clients with an overhanging eyelid. Due to the leg, namely the indentation of the curl from the eyelid, extensions with these lashes will correct a difficult eyelid.

 The overhanging zone will be hidden and there will be no feeling that the eyelashes are resting on the eyelid.

Effects that will suit clients with an overhanging eyelid: doll, foxy, squirrel, classic and natural. The choice depends on the specific case - the initial data, as well as the wishes of the client. Let's look at some examples in detail.

How to choose the effect for eyelash extensions?

Most often, clients have an overhang with a drooping eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. In this case, we perform the extension with the squirrel effect with the maximum possible length of artificial eyelashes.

In the case of age clients it is enough to use short lengths of up to 9 mm. This will look neat, not provocative, and will also hide the overhanging eyelid.

There can be a complex overhang when the eyes are asymmetrical. For example, on the right eye the eyelid overhangs more than on the left eye, while the left eye is located higher. We can solve this situation with two points. Firstly, we add the shortest length to the higher eye, depending on the situation 1-2 mm. Secondly, we use the L+ curve, it will perfectly correct this situation.

Pay attention to the fit of the eyes. If the client has deep-set eyes, then having discussed with the client's wishes for the effect, extend eyelashes with C+, M or L+ bends. Of course, you can combine them.

What's the bottom line?

The result of the extension also depends on the direction of the native lashes.

- The eyelashes grow strongly upwards. It is worth using curls like C+. D is not recommended.

- The lashes grow downwards. Exclude L, C and B curls. M or L+ curls are definitely recommended. We consider the L+ curl to be the most suitable in this case.

We hope that these recommendations will help you to learn how to work with clients with "difficult" eyelids. After all, the more you have skills, the wider the range of services, the more you are competitive among the artists of eyelash extensions.
