What are Easy Fanning Lashes?
Easy Fanning lashes are designed differently on the lash strip in the pack allowing easier multiple lash pickup.
The first element to think is SYMMETRY. In this method the difference in each lash is equal. It is important to acknowledge that dependent on the size of your fans, the space will vary. For example, if you are forming to look using 2d fans, there will be a bigger space in between the lashes whereas a look created using 3d fans will have a slightly smaller space, 4d even smaller and so on.
The SPACE between the lashes in a fan indicate if the fan is narrow, normal or wide. Most importantly, if the opening of the fan is not symmetrical this can create a wonky or closed fan. If you were creating a 5d lash look ,3 lashes on the fan were closed. The fan would look out of place amongst all the other 5d symmetrical fans. It will result in a gappy finish, rather than that gorgeous fluff we all aspire to.
The next element is the BODY OF THE FAN. This should make up 2 thirds of your fan whereas the BASE OF THE FAN should form up around 1 third. REMEMBER, the base of your fan should ALWAYS be tapered. Otherwise the base will split not attach properly causing poor retention, sticks and discomfort for your client!
Another important element to the ‘Perfect Fan’ is the GLUE ZONE. This is situated right at the base of the fan. It represents the 2mm section of base that should be dipped into your glue! Anything less than 2mm can cause retention problems.
LONELY FAN METHOD
The lonely fan method involves pulling the number of lashes that you want to make into a fan from the rest of the bunch and resticking it further along the strip. You then use the tip of your volume tweezers to roll the lashes outwards. It creates a beautiful fan. Pick up the fan with control and a strong grip, dip into the glue and affix to the natural lash. It’s one of the most commonly seen techniques, and is ideal for beginners.
RAINBOW METHOD
The Rainbow method is also known as the rolling technique. It is similar to the Lonely Fan method but instead of taking your selected lashes away from the group. You leave them there. It is advised to use your tweezers and roll the lashes to the side and creating a fan.
This method will create more of a ‘stacked’ base. It is so great for attaching the fan to the side of the natural lash.
PINCHING METHOD
The pinching method looks simple. There’s a little bit of technical wizardry involved with getting them right and not ending up with twisted bases.
Begin by taking the lashes that you want from the strips. Then place them between your thumb and index finger at the first knuckle in each by maintaining grip with your tweezers. When the lash base is safely between your fingers. It gently loosen your grip with the tweezers and at the same time pinch the base together with your thumb. It is so important not to roll the base here. This will twist the base and make your fan useless. It is called the pinching method for a reason.
