What the term means.
A wider-looking face can create a defined lash line without matching the mass of a round fibre with a similar size label. Suppliers may use names such as ellipse, rhomboid or cashmere; construction is more useful than the marketing label.
Some designs split the tip to change the upper appearance. That is different from attaching an open fan. A flat single fibre can still form a classic 1:1 attachment when selected appropriately.
The technical details.
- Cross-section
- Flattened or shaped rather than simply round
- Possible feature
- Split tips on some products
- Application
- A single shaped fibre can still be classic 1:1
- Comparison limit
- A size label does not establish equal mass across shapes
These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
A common question.
Are all flat lashes lighter by one fixed percentage?
A percentage claim belongs to the specific products a supplier compared. It should not be transferred automatically to every flat or ellipse design.
