Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between U-Shape and W-Shape lashes?
U-Shape has a soft open arc base for natural-full volume with minimal weight. W-Shape has a wider clover base with up to 7D tips for maximum fluffy drama. Choose U-Shape for clients who want volume without heaviness; choose W-Shape for clients who want bold impact.
Which is better for beginners?
U-Shape is more beginner-friendly due to its open arc base, which is more forgiving on placement angle. W-Shape requires more precise flat base contact for optimal retention.
Can I mix U-Shape and W-Shape in one set?
Yes. A common technique uses U-Shape as the base volume throughout the lash line and W-Shape at the outer corners for drama. This creates a graduated volume effect with a natural inner corner and bold outer flick.
Which series has more curl options?
U-Shape offers the widest curl range: C, CC, D, DD, and M — making it the most versatile series for different eye shapes and client preferences.
Is W-Shape heavier than U-Shape?
At the same tip count, W-Shape fans are slightly heavier due to the wider base geometry. For clients with fine natural lashes, U-Shape 3D or 4D is the safer choice.
