The natural look…
There’s been a rise in demand for bigger and bigger lash extensions of late. In the days of mandatory masks, it’s unsurprising that beauty looks became all about the eye area! Many now predict the that lips will be back in a big way, meaning that eyes will be emphasized in a still beautiful butless dramatic way. Many of the rising trends are dominated by lashes designed to have people questioning – are they or aren’t they real?
Here are some of the natural look lash trends for 2022:
After seeing an upsurge in popularity in lash competitions, brown lashes are likely to take greater prominence in 2022. Whether for classic lashes, hybrid or Russian volume, dark or light brown lashes are a great way to achieve an enviable flutter that will have your friends thinking you were simply blessed in the lash department. For a half-way house, ask your lash technician to blend black and brown lashes in your set.
They’re more affordable and take less time in the lash chair, so it’s no surprise that many lash lovers will turn to smaller sets instead. You can have fuller lashes applied from the middle to the outer edge of your eye – perfect for fans of a cat eye shape, with still enough lashes to add plenty of drama. Or you can have lashes added across the whole eye, just not on every single lash. Both looks create an effect that’s less noticeably ‘false’. However, keep in mind that with fewer lashes, this type of look won’t last you as long as a full set.

The less is more look isn’t for everyone, so if you prefer your lashes with a whole lot of drama, never fear, there are plentyof trends that up the ante on the wow factor. In general, expect straighter silhouettes such as L and M curl lashes to still be the hottest curl shapes, with a slight move away from super-rounded shapes like D curl lashes.
Cat eye and fox eye lashes have been around for some time now and show no signs of going away – if anything these trends are predicted to get even bigger. Lash addicts are loving a pronounced winged eyeliner effect look also known as an extreme cat eye. This is created using shorter lashes overall but with angled, L curl or M lashes at the outer corners. It’s a look that oozes glamour and partners really well with a statement lip. Win win!
