Wispy lashes
explained.

In plain English

Wispy lashes have a deliberately varied top line with selected longer-looking peaks above a shorter background of extensions.

What the term means.

Wispy describes texture rather than an attachment ratio. A hybrid set can be wispy or relatively even; a volume set can use peaks without a classic-to-volume mix.

Visible contrast matters more than copying a fixed difference in millimetres. Curl, layers and direction affect which tips stand out. Softer little peaks and a strongly spiked design are different interpretations, so identify the particular detail you like in a photograph.

A common question.

Are wispy lashes always long and dramatic?

No. Texture can be subtle. Explain whether you like the peak height, soft spaces between tips or the overall mapped outline.
