FAQ
1. Can I combine spikes and wispy in one set?
Yes. A spike-wispy hybrid uses a wispy base map with a few dramatic spikes placed at intervals. This creates a bold but wearable result.
2. Which is more suitable for everyday wear?
Wispy lashes. The subtle 2–3mm length variation creates texture without the graphic drama of spikes, making them appropriate for work and everyday settings.
3. Do spike lashes damage natural lashes?
Not when applied correctly. Spike lashes must be matched to the natural lash strength — never apply very long, heavy spikes to fine natural lashes.
4. How many spikes should I use per eye?
For a spike-wispy hybrid, 5–7 spikes per eye is typical. For a full anime spike set, 7–10 spikes per eye creates the graphic pattern.
5. Which curl is best for spikes?
D or L curl. The strong upward lift ensures spikes are visible and create the sharp, eye-opening effect that defines the spike lash style.
