Whether you’re aiming for an everyday look or a full-glam feline moment, this guide is for you to achieve Cat Eye lash clusters map!
Let’s perfect your lash map, one cluster at a time.

What is Cat Eye Lash Mapping?
A Cat Eye lash clusters map is all about lift, elongation, and drama, with a natural twist. This style creates the illusion of wider, more defined eyes by tapering lash lengths from short (inner corner) to long (outer corner).
What makes it a true cat eye?
-
Map structure: Shortest lash lengths at the inner corner, gradually increasing to the longest segments at the outer corner.
-
Best for eye shapes: Almond and round eyes, but with the right map, anyone can rock it.
-
The effect: Elongated, lifted, and dramatic, but can be softened with shorter lengths for a more wearable look.
At TAD, our Cat Eye lash map clusters are designed to deliver this iconic shape without compromising on comfort or wear time. Let's dive into how to create the perfect map.
Result: If the cat eye map is extreme and long, the eyes will appear quite dramatic and elongated. However, you can taper a cat eye down and use shorter lengths for a more everyday look as well.

Applying Cat Eye Lash Map Clusters
Ready to apply the Cat Eye lash clusters map? Here is exactly how to apply:
-
Start with clean lashes. Use TAD Prep Pads to remove all oil and residue.
-
Apply Brilliant Bond Adhesive to the base of your natural lashes.
-
Swipe a small amount of adhesive onto the segment band (just above the microstructure).
-
Place lash segments 1–2mm above the waterline.
-
Use the Clean Touch Tweezers to gently press and fuse the clusters.
-
After 1–2 minutes, finish with Pristine Seal for a waterproof hold.
Pro tip: Apply from outer to inner corner for better control of your lash shape.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
To achieve the perfect Cat Eye lash map clusters, avoid placing your longest segment too far into the outer corner. Leave a few natural lashes at the end for a lifted finish that doesn’t drag the eye down.
And don’t skip the seal! Pristine Seal helps your lashes last through water, workouts, and full glam moments.
