Doe-eye eyelash extensions: The best application for your eyes

Eyelash extensions can enhance the look and give it a more structured and harmonious shape. Among the most popular styles, the doe eye is particularly sought after for its lifting and elegant effect. However, not all eye shapes react the same way to different applications. It is therefore essential to choose the right mapping according to your eye shape for a natural and flattering result.

Our model Maïka wears the mapping in Squirrel to enhance the shape of her slightly drooping eyes.

1. The Cat Eyes / Fox Eyes pose: Ideal for almond-shaped and round eyes

Cat Eyes eyelash extensions , also called Fox Eyes , are a technique that involves gradually extending the lashes outwards. This mapping creates a lengthened and lifted effect that gives a sophisticated and feline look.

Who is Cat Eyes / Fox Eyes mapping suitable for?

• Almond eyes : This eye shape is ideal for this type of pose, as it accentuates their natural symmetry and highlights their elongated shape.

• Round eyes : The Fox Eyes pose helps to stretch and lengthen the gaze, thus avoiding the overly open effect which can sometimes be less flattering.

• Non-droopy eyes : This technique works especially well on eyes that don't have droopy eyelids, as it exaggerates the stretched look without weighing down the look.

Who is not suitable for this pose?

• Drooping eyes : On drooping eyes, this technique can accentuate the effect of heaviness and give a tired look instead of enhancing it.

2. The Mapping Squirrel: The perfect solution for droopy eyes

Squirrel mapping is an ideal alternative for those with drooping eyes or who want a natural lifting effect. This technique involves placing the maximum length of the extensions slightly before the outer corner of the eye, creating an upward effect that corrects and opens the eyes.

Why choose Squirrel mapping for drooping eyes?

• Immediate lifting effect : Unlike Cat Eyes, which can accentuate the descent of the eyelids, Squirrel redirects the gaze upwards.

• Correction of the drooping effect : By playing on strategic lengths, it balances the shape of the eye and gives it a more youthful and dynamic appearance.

• More natural look : This style avoids overly dramatic effects and blends perfectly with the natural structure of the eyes.

3. How to choose between Cat Eyes and Squirrel Mapping?

The choice between these two mappings depends on your body type and the desired effect:

• If you want an elongated and sophisticated look , and your eyes are almond-shaped or round, opt for Cat Eyes / Fox Eyes .

• If you want to correct a drooping effect or lift your eyes , Squirrel mapping is the best option.

Some tips for a successful installation:

• Consult an experienced technician : An analysis of your gaze will help determine the most suitable mapping.

• Maintain your extensions regularly : A refill every 2 to 3 weeks is recommended to maintain optimal results.

• Opt for a light application : If you have fine eyelashes, opt for a light extension to avoid weighing down your eyes.

Conclusion

Doe-eye eyelash extensions are a great way to enhance your eyes, provided you choose the right mapping. While Cat Eyes / Fox Eyes is ideal for almond-shaped and round eyes, Squirrel Mapping is the perfect solution for droopy eyes. Take your eye shape into account and don't hesitate to seek professional advice for a tailor-made and harmonious result.
