Trend Alert! Lash Extensions Inspo for Festival Lashes

It’s Festival Season! Get Those Lashes Festival Ready

Festival season is finally upon us, and it’s time to say hello to vibrant colours, face gems, and finding glitter in strange places for the foreseeable future! However, there is a longer-lasting accessory you can create for your clients that will also complement their festival outfits… a gorgeous set of eyelash extensions. Festivals are an excellent excuse for your clients to try out a daring and bold lash look, and give you the chance to get really creative with the unique lash sets you could design for each one. Though if you’re struggling with where to begin with all the endless possibilities out there, we’ve compiled a list of our fave lash extension looks that will be turning heads left and right this summer!

Glitter Lash Extensions

Glitter eyelash extensions are a great way to add some stunning sparkle to your client’s lash line. This style is excellent for clients who like a bit of glitz and glamour with their festival outfits. You can also tailor the look to suit how daring or subtle your client would like their eyelashes to be.

For a more understated set, a few professionally prepared glitter lash accents towards the outer corners can create a dazzling pop of colour. For clients who want to stand out from the crowd, intermittent accents throughout the lash line can create a bolder finish. Only use products specifically intended for professional lash application, following their instructions and your training. Biodegradable craft glitter is not automatically suitable for use near the eyes. You can explore our glitter lash guide for more inspiration.

Mermaid Eyelash Extensions

This lash look is inspired by the cool and colourful tones of the sea and uses a blue, green, and purple colour palette to create a flawless festival lash set. To create your own mermaid eyelash extensions, we recommend a beautiful top lash layer with a gradual gradient of colours in similar tones for a seamless finish. If your client would like an extra touch of shimmer, you could incorporate some of our silver-coloured lashes as an amazing accent for your mermaid-inspired set.

Wispy Feather Eyelashes

Wispy feather eyelash extensions make a beautiful accent for clients who prefer boho festival outfits or a generally softer overall appearance. To create this look, you can combine individual extensions and Volume fans in a style similar to Hybrid lash extensions. We’ve found that this approach helps create a vibrant, fluffy finish.

A Hybrid set allows you to vary texture and definition across the lash line. Add coloured fans where suitable natural lashes can support them, or use individual extensions to incorporate a subtler pop of colour. Choose the length and weight according to each natural lash rather than adding heavier extensions simply to fill a sparse area. We have a wide range of coloured eyelash extensions, so your clients will be spoilt for choice when it comes to colours and combinations!

Rainbow Lashes!

This style of eyelash extensions is definitely not for the faint of heart! Rainbow lash extensions are perfect for your most daring clients who love being bold and expressing themselves freely. For this vibrant lash set, you’ll need red, yellow and orange, green, purple, and blue extensions to achieve the full rainbow effect. You could also add pink for your own colourful twist!

When mapping these lashes, intermittent spikes throughout the lash line can create a softer, wispier look. For clients who want to go all out, create an ombre effect with the coloured lashes, similar to the mermaid look mentioned earlier. Try placing lighter shades on the lower layer of upper lashes, with darker shades throughout the middle and top layers to make your rainbow stand out. Start with red in the inner corners, then create a gradient towards the outer corners using the other shades for a seamless rainbow.

So there you have it, our fave lash looks that are perfect for your clients and their festival outfits this summer. We hope this blog has given you a place to start when creating your own festival lash extensions. For more coloured lash mapping inspiration, check out our Pride lashes blog.
