Here are some of the most effective and popular lash maps used by lash artists — whether you’re creating looks for clients, training staff, or building your business portfolio: 

Top Lash Maps (Styles & When to Use Them)

1. Cat Eye Lash Map

• Look: Elongated, lifted eyes with longer lashes toward the outer corners.

• Best for: Almond shaped or round eyes that need subtle drama.

• Effect: Adds definition & a wing-like finish. 

2. Doll Eye Lash Map

• Look: Longest lashes in the center for an open, youthful gaze.

• Best for: Round or downturned eyes wanting a brighter, “awake” look.

• Effect: Big, wide-eyed appearance. 

3. Open Eye Lash Map

• Look: Emphasizes central lash length to widen the eye appearance.

• Best for: Smaller or hooded eyes.

• Effect: Eyes appear larger and more alert. 

4. Fox Eye Lash Map

• Look: A sharper lift at the outer corners than traditional cat eye.

• Best for: Hooded or wide-set eyes that benefit from noticeable lift.

• Effect: Sculpted, “snatched” aesthetic trending on social media. 

5. Squirrel Lash Map

• Look: Gradual increase toward the outer third, then slightly tapering.

• Best for: Clients wanting subtle lift without dramatic wings.

6. Kim K (Wispy/Spiky) Lash Map

7. Natural Lash Map

• Look: Mimics the natural lash line with minimal variation.

• Best for: Everyday clients or those new to extensions.

• Effect: Subtle enhancement and comfortable wear. 

Tips for Using Lash Maps

• Match eye shape to map: Mapping shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all — choose based on features like almond, hooded, or downturned shapes. 

• Blend lengths smoothly: Gradual transitions between lash lengths create the most natural & flattering looks. 

• Use mapping tools: Digital or printable templates help you plan before you start gluing — and tools like LashMap.app (community-mentioned) let you map intuitively on devices.
