Strip and wispy lashes are created by mixing in different diameters, lengths, and sometimes curls to create a highly textured look. Many celebrities quickly adopted this look, resulting in the Kim K. strip lash look, wispy and pixie sets, and many other variants of the wispy/strip lash look, especially when it comes to professional lash extensions.
But how do you get wispy cluster lashes by using at-home lash extensions?
There are hundreds of different wispy cluster lash maps. Some of the maps you see online might seem confusing and hard to read or recreate. But how do we get this with lash clusters?? Let us be your lash coach!
