What Are Matt Flat Lashes?

Matt Flat Lashes are a revolutionary type of eyelash extension that combines the fullness and drama of thicker lashes with the lightness required for comfort and lash safety. Unlike traditional extensions, Matt Flat Lashes are designed with a unique, flat base which makes them appear wider and more voluminous without adding any extra weight. But why would you use these over other lash extensions like our Mayfair and Chelsea ranges?

Well, these lashes are particularly suited for clients who desire a dramatic look but may have weak, damaged, or naturally thin lashes. Imagine a standard 0.10 Classic lash that's been compressed to double its width, mimicking a 0.20 lash, but still weighs the same as a 0.10 lash. This ingenious design allows you to create the lush, dramatic effect of a 0.25 Classic lash, with the weight of a 0.15 lash. Not to mention, the split tips of these lashes make them exceptionally soft and give a textured finish, with their concave shape ensuring a snug fit around the natural lash, boosting retention. These lovely lashes are also available in thicknesses from 0.10 up to 0.25, making them a versatile choice.

Why Choose Matt Flat Lashes?

  1. Dramatic Effect Without the Heaviness: The key benefit of Matt Flat Lashes lies in their ability to deliver a dense, dramatic look without the burden of heavy lashes. This makes them an ideal choice for clients with less robust lashes who still seek a bold, eye-catching appearance.

  1. Enhanced Retention: The slightly concave shape of Matt Flat Lashes allows them to hug the natural lash more effectively. This curvature not only improves the contact area but also enhances the bond between the natural lash and the extension, leading to longer-lasting wear!

  1. Versatility: Available in thicknesses ranging from 0.10 to 0.25, Matt Flat Lashes are incredibly versatile. They can be used to create everything from a subtle enhancement to ultra-wispy lash sets, making them a must-have in any Lash Technician's kit.

  1. Comfort for the Client: Because of their lightweight nature, these lashes are comfortable and safe for your clients, making them suitable for long-term wear without the risk of damaging their natural lashes.

How to Use Matt Flat Lashes

Step 1: Consultation

Begin with a detailed consultation to assess your client's lash health, preferences, and desired outcome. This step is crucial for choosing the correct thickness and lengths of Matt Flat Lashes, and to determine whether or not you should use regular lash extensions or Matt Flat Lashes.

 

Step 2: Preparation

Ensure that your client's natural lashes are clean and free from any makeup or oil residue. Check out our 5-step pretreatment routine if you want to create lashes that last!

 

Step 3: Application

Using your lash tweezers, pick up a Matt Flat Lash and dip the base in your lash adhesive. Gently place the extension onto the natural lash, ensuring it sits comfortably and is perfectly aligned, just like you would with any other lash extension. The flat base should bond seamlessly with the natural lash for optimal retention.

 

Step 4: Styling

Matt Flat Lashes can be used alone for a Classic set or mixed with other types of lashes for Hybrid or Volume styles. You can also use Matt Flat lashes as spikes, paired alongside fluffy Volume lash fans, to create textured, wispy lash looks. Their versatility allows you to be creative and tailor each set to your client's specific needs.
