Squirrel lash mapping
explained.

Updated

In plain English

A lash map with its longest area towards the outer half of the eye, followed by shorter lengths towards the outer corner.

What the term means.

The longest section is often discussed around the brow-arch area, but placement is adjusted to the individual. The outermost corner is not automatically the longest point.

Squirrel and cat-eye describe different distributions of length. Neither name determines the application technique, colour or curl. Discuss the outline you want with your artist.

The technical details.

Length distribution
Builds towards an outer peak, then tapers.
Individual planning
The position of the peak and taper depends on the agreed design.

These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
