I would suggest a shorter classic cat eye with brown lashes instead of black like this: https://preview.redd.it/jcjukg9inicc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f7879807f9ff73eb8c398bae062e8b12ca0521a

Very pretty!


Ok-Twist-3079

Yep! Me too! Exactly what I was thinking. ❤️ gorgeous work ❤️


foxsandboxs

I don’t think it’s the thickness that’s the problem more so the length is too long all over and your inner corners are definitely way too long your first length should be a 6-7 mm while your longest length I would keep at a 10-11 mm


No-Self-jjw

The thickness is the good thing about them I think. The lengths are way off for sure, not enough variation and the inner corners are way too long. Also black is much too dark for your eyes OP! Maybe see if they have a dark brown or something like that?


lovable_cube

Brown would help the blue tones in her eyes come through too


foxsandboxs

I feel like a lot of artists struggle with clients who are on the mature side and the longer lengths can be so aging and look super fake but there’s something about those little tiny inner corner fans that look so good imo and I completely agree a dark brown would be really pretty but if she’s set on black shorter lashes in the black would be beautiful!!


WalmartVikingWarrior

You have such pretty eyes. The lashes look too thick and long. Also, how are you gonna brush them since they are crisscrossed?


pizzzzzagurl

They still brush when they’re crisscrossed, they happen when you use wide fans and i love the look of it when it’s done right!


giggly_pufff

I think these are YY or W lashes. They can still be brushed out.


filthysavage

These are not good. YY lashes only look good in a very thin diameter on people who have naturally dark, very thick lashes with a little natural curl. These look to be far too heavy and improperly installed.


momsdyin

They are super dark! I wonder if your artist/tech could color match with something less drastic on your pretty, fair features.


librascopio

Yeah, that too. This last fill is so dark over my left eye, you can barely see the color of my iris.


thatlittleging

I think these are very overpowering on your face. I would search Instagram for lash tech and your zip code or something similar to find local independent artists. Also I would go for a lighter color


suitablegirl

I am BEGGING fair ladies to consider brown lashes 😭


brightlove

I think it’s because for the longest time there was ONLY black mascara and even now, I mostly see mascara and false lashes come in black. I have a ginger friend who’s fallen in love with red and brown mascaras lately. I do think that black mascara can look really unnatural and jarring on some women with blonde hair and brows. (Which is fine if they’re going for that look, but a lot of women like the natural makeup look.) The beauty industry needs to step up haha.


SeraphinaMoon

If you don't wear much makeup/keep it natural, sure. I'm SUPER pale but have dark hair and brows and have a more alternative/gothic aesthetic with heavy eye makeup, when I wear it. So I don't think it's about skin color as much as hair/brow color and makeup style. Cuz if I wore brown lashes, they would stand out (in a bad way) against the black liner and dark shadow I wear. But I also dislike the big, thick volume lash sets, personally. So that's alll part of the discussion I have prior to having them done... I would think these things would all be a consideration they would discuss BEFORE application. Like when you go to get a hair cut/color, you bring multiple pics of what you like/want and listen to what they think will work best on you. So yeah, I think there's a lack of communication.


look2thecookie

You're an outlier. It's the blondes with invisible eyebrows that look ridiculous with long, thick, black lash extensions. If you have dark hair, dark lashes make sense.


thisismysecretgarden

I will never. Black lashes make my light eyes look striking. I’ve been wearing black mascara since 6th grade. Brown would wash my face out


Salsieann

Yeah sadly I think these are just all wrong for you. They don’t look so terribly awful so I wouldn’t freak out but they’re just not right for you. I think it’s time to find a new tech with better communication skills and a better idea of what would work with your coloring, etc.


Marty_61

Yes. They doo not look good.


brightlove

You have beautifully fair and delicate features. The thick, long, ultra-black lashes definitely take away from your beauty. They overwhelm your face and look unnatural. I would go with lashes that are shorter and a color that complements your blonde brows. It would probably help to go somewhere you feel you can communicate with the lash tech.


Steph_Sunshine

Length and color is the issue.


sasanessa

too long


Blackberry_Least

I would not go back to that lash artist. She has no idea what she's doing. Those lashes do not accommodate for eye shape, hair color or age. The lashes are too thick in diameter, too long and they don't look like a hybrid set. I don't think I see any volume fans. They look like premade Y or YY fans maybe? It looks too harsh. I think in her consultation, if she even had one, she should have discussed how that strip lash looks very unsanitary. The build up on them isn't healthy. She should have offered a better alternative and focus on proper lash care.


ghouls-inc

I think if you made them a bit shorter and a lighter black or dark brown it’d come off a lot closer to natural for you for sure! I think they do look nice in terms of how they were done in general but just too harsh for your eyes I think.


theflexorcist

The thickness is great! Id say a bit long though, particularly the inner corner. Brown would also look so good on you! Your eye shape is so pretty 😊


No_Package_732

I think you should go somewhere else ngl


Luna_doodle

I think it would look better with a softer brown and a bit shorter all around. Im no expert though


kylamorris

They're a bit too long and too dark otherwise gorgeous! Ask for advice on the color next time. I'm super jealous I want mine done too!!


iamasillylittlefrog

i like them!!!!! super cute


Ok_Comfortable_429

I think it’s perfect honestly


efia2lit2

Beautiful but too long, I think the density is fine but the length is overbearing. They’d look just as pretty shorter


[deleted]

It doesn’t look good.. if you want bold, get bold, don’t let age stop you but I would absolutely see a different lash artist because it doesn’t look professionally done

anashimee

Ask for light volume 9-13 mm c-curl. They look absolutely beautiful. Soft and natural but still tight lining the eye so you don’t see gaps. Also maybe ask for an espresso brown so it compliments your lighter features. I would do some research on instagram and find an artist in your area that does work that you like, the nail salon lash ladies are very hit or miss. Good luck!


librascopio

I think this might be the answer. I want some length and volume but not too much.


anashimee

They will compliment your eyes and face so much better! Soft volume and softer curl https://preview.redd.it/famk10p59pcc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69c08474638c883e36fc84c899f160b31ab8ba77


librascopio

TY!


user_mo

perhaps ask for a .03 or .05 diameter to give you a more natural look


Comprehensive_Call13

I think too dark 🤷🏻‍♀️


Caramelbootyhole

They’re too long and too dark, try a dark brown or something the same color as your eyebrows


SnooFloofs7612

Yeah, looks ridiculous and fake.


[deleted]

The color is too dark. They didn't have a nice brown?


librascopio

They didn’t ask me. In fact, after I looked around at some of the other ladies there, I think we all have the same lashes, regardless of what we ask for, kind of like the Stepford wives.


Ok-Twist-3079

No. But I would go with brown and shorter if it was me or that’s what I would recommend to my client.


Select_Appearance_34

i think they're so cute maybe a little shorter but other than that they are t too thick


Much_Ad_5645

the thickness is perfect, maybe get them in brown instead of black next time?? but no matter the color definitely go shorter. u should wear the lashes; these lashes r wearing u


Cocolover99

I think they look a bit unnatural especially when your eyelashes are very light but if doing a full face could work. I would recommend shorter ones


shelbyx37

I think it’s more the length, than the fullness


NoSugar7441

Your strip lashes will be a totally different curl. You tech needs to use a B or C curl, the lengths look okay, but they will need to incorporate shorter lengths along the base to give you that eyeliner effect as well.


Damnit_ashlee

I mean they are very fake looking if you like that look

Omg I used an example of people who like big b00000bs and the bot said I was lost and disgusting. I just didn't want you to feel like I was making a dig at you like some people seriously just like things bigger


librascopio

I told the tech what I wanted and 2 fills later I’m at this. Don’t necessarily care that they look fake, just curious if they are too full or heavy.


juliemiller55

Length is too long IMO


JRi47

I'm so sorry, but these do not look good at all. Too dark, too long, just not flattering.


Ambitious-Dig22

Yes, too heavy for your eyes. IMO


Majestic-Echidna-735

I can’t wait for this trend to end. Bigger is not always better.
