Step 2: What Is Their Eye Shape?

|---|---|---|
| Standard / Almond | Any series | Choose based on desired volume level |
| Hooded / Heavy lid | U-Shape M Curl | M Curl lifts the lid; U-arc avoids heaviness |

| Deep-set / Large | W-Shape 5D–7D | High volume fills the eye socket visually |

Skill Level Guide
| Skill Level | Start With | Progress To |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | V-Shape 3D or U-Shape 3D | U-Shape 4D → V-Shape 4D |
| Intermediate | U-Shape 4D–5D or W-Shape 3D | W-Shape 4D–5D, mixed sets |
| Advanced | W-Shape 5D–7D | Custom mapping mixing all three series |
Placement note: V-Shape and U-Shape are more forgiving on placement angle due to their narrower bases. W-Shape requires precise flat base contact — incorrect angle is the most common cause of poor retention with pre-made fans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix all three series in one set?
Yes. Advanced artists often use V-Shape as wispy accent points, U-Shape as the mid-lash base, and W-Shape at the outer corners for drama. The result is a highly customised, multi-textured set.
Which pre-made fan is easiest for beginners?
V-Shape 3D and U-Shape 3D are the most beginner-friendly — both have narrower bases that are more forgiving on placement angle. W-Shape requires more precision due to its wider clover base.
Do pre-made fans last as long as hand-made fans?
Yes, when applied correctly. Retention depends on adhesive quality, prep, and aftercare — not whether the fan is pre-made or hand-made. Ensure full base contact on all three series for optimal bond.
Which series has the most 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.
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.
