Brown Lashes: Is Natural More?

Everything You Need to Know About Brown Eyelash Extensions | The Perfect Set, Every Time!

It’s official, brown lashes are IN! Take your lash game to new heights and give your clients what they want, which is of course the flawless ‘I woke up like this’ aesthetic.

As a Lash Artist, you can’t assume that black lashes will be every client’s go-to. Even though black lash extensions are the most common type and will always have a huge place in our heart, brown lashes are becoming increasingly popular for creating that natural but effective look. No matter which style: dolly, squirrel, cat eye… (the list is endless), brown lashes are perfect for giving an extra oomph to the eye.

What Are Brown Eyelash Extensions?

If you are dying to create the ultimate fluffy lash set that will seamlessly blend with your clients’ natural lashes, then brown lash extensions are the way to go. Brown lashes can create versatile lash looks and are ideal for adding fullness and length to the natural lashes without appearing noticeably false.

The brown pigment of the lash offers a softer alternative to black lashes. At London Lash, our Ristretto brown lash extensions provide a deep black-brown shade for subtle definition.

These are available in a range of gorgeous curls. Explore our guide to curls and lengths when planning a multidimensional set with a dramatic effect or a soft and subtle look. Made from synthetic fibers, Ristretto lashes offer another option for creating tailored Russian Volume sets.

When Can Brown Lashes Be Used?

Complexion

If your client has particularly light features such as red or light blonde hair, brown lashes can create a look that isn’t too striking or bold. They are also an option for clients who have lighter-colored lashes or are requesting a more subtle and delicate look. A top tip is to use clear lash glue when you want to avoid adding black pigment at the attachment point. Using a clear adhesive allows the extension to blend into the natural lash and helps to avoid a harsh lash line.

Sparse Lashes

Not everyone is blessed with an abundance of natural lashes, and that's okay! That’s where your skills come in handy. If your client wants to enhance their natural lashes, brown extensions can help create a fuller appearance, especially when the brown pigment complements their natural lashes. Choose lengths and fan weights according to the condition and capacity of the natural lashes.

Replace Mascara

The ‘barely there’ lash look is easily achievable with muted-colored lashes. If one of your clients usually opts for a lash lift, why not discuss a warm-toned set of extensions instead? Brown lashes are also an alternative for avid mascara wearers, providing definition, length and volume without the intensity of black extensions. Brown lashes for the win!

Why Not Try...

Break the rules and try out the ‘wet look lash’ effect. You can use brown lashes to create closed fans or spikes when creating a Volume lash set, resulting in a voluminous and effortlessly wispy finish. If you want to go even bolder, try experimenting with a mixture of black and brown lashes. This unique combination gives the lashes a multi-tonal effect—it’s the best of both worlds.
