How to Choose the Right Eyelash Extension Style
Your routine, the occasion and your eye shape: a simple way to narrow 14 LashCraft styles down to one.
How should I pick an eyelash extension style?
Start with three things: how much upkeep your routine allows, the occasion, and your eye shape. Then pick a density, from a natural 1D look up to a full 7D-10D. DR. LASH Melbourne offers 14 named LashCraft styles, and the artist looks at your natural lashes and lid shape before suggesting one.
There are many different eyelash extension styles to choose from. You can go for a more natural look with just a few extra lashes, or opt for a more dramatic style with lots of thick, long lashes. No matter what your preference is, there’s definitely an eyelash extension style out there that is right for you!
If you’re not sure which style to go for, here are a few things to consider:
1. Your Lifestyle
If you lead a very active lifestyle and want something more lasting, you should opt for something more voluminous. On the contrary, if you spend most of your day in the office and are less active, you can opt for something more natural.
2. The Occasion
If you are attending an important function such as a wedding, you may want to go for a more glamorous style.Wedding appropriate eyelash extensions are often longer and thicker than everyday styles.
3. The Shape of your Eyes
The shape of your eyes can play a drastic role in the eyelash extension style you wish to pursue. If you have round eyes, for example, you might want to avoid lash styles that are too long or heavy, as this can make your eyes look sleepy. Instead, opt for a style that is shorter and lighter in weight, such as individual lashes or a feathery style.
If you have almond-shaped eyes, you might want to try lash extensions that are longer in the outer corner to make your eyes pop.
On the other hand, if you have hooded eyelids, you’ll want to steer clear of lash styles that are too short, as the extensions will not look obvious once your eyelids close. Instead, go for something longer and fuller, such as a cat eye style.

Questions people also ask
What eyelash extension styles can I choose from in Melbourne?
The LashCraft menu has 14 styles grouped by density. Au Naturel is a soft 1D look. Aphrodite, Flo and Doll are 2D-3D, with Kourtney K adding a wispy 3D texture. Eight styles, Scarlett, Kim K, Khloe K, Quinn, Blair, Consort, Serena and Diva, sit in the 4D-6D volume range, while Avant Garde goes up to 7D-10D for a full, dramatic line.
Which lash extension shape suits hooded eyes?
With hooded lids, the fold can hide shorter lashes, so a little extra length and a firmer curl through the middle and outer third usually help them show. A cat-eye shape such as Scarlett often works well. The artist studies your eyes open, closed and side-on before choosing lengths, because the way your lid sits matters more than any rule of thumb.
Which lash styles suit round or almond eyes?
Round eyes tend to suit lighter, shorter sets that keep the shape open rather than heavy lashes that weigh the lid down. Almond eyes can carry longer lengths at the outer corner for a gentle lifted effect. Treat these as starting points only. At your consultation the artist also weighs up the strength of your natural lashes, since a dense set needs sturdy lashes underneath.
Can I try a natural style first and go fuller later?
Yes, and it is a sensible way to begin. Many first-timers choose Au Naturel or Doll, see how the lashes feel through a normal working week, then add density at a later appointment. A big jump in style may need a fresh full set rather than a touch-up, so note the change when you book online and enough time will be set aside.

Full sets at DR. LASH Melbourne start at A$99 for Au Naturel. Doll and Flo are A$138, Kim K is A$178 and Avant Garde is A$268. Budget up to 2 hours for the appointment. The pricing page lists every LashCraft style in AUD, and all prices include GST.
