The Art and Science of Crafting Perfect Eyelash Extensions

When it comes to eyelash extensions, it's not just about adding length and volume. It's an intricate art form where design meets science. At our salon, we customize each set of lashes to perfectly complement your unique eye shape, face structure, and desired look. We are named Tempest and Bloom Lash Design, after all! Let's dive into the magical world of lash design and reveal some clever tricks that can transform your eyes!


Customization: Because One Size Does Not Fit All

Eye Shape Matters No two eyes are the same, and that’s why every set of lashes we craft is one-of-a-kind. Whether you have almond-shaped eyes, round eyes, or something in between, we design your lashes to enhance your natural beauty. Our lash artists carefully assess the curve of your eyelids, the placement of your pupils, and the arch of your brows to create a look that’s just for you.


Face Shape: Framing Your Features Your face shape plays a crucial role in determining the best lash design for you. For instance, a heart-shaped face might benefit from lashes that are longer in the outer corners to balance the forehead's width. On the other hand, a round face can be elongated with a set of lashes that add height in the center. It's all about creating harmony and accentuating your best features.


Tricks of the Trade: Enhancing Your Eyes

Making Eyes Look Wider and More Awake Ever heard of the term "eye-opening experience"? Well, we take it quite literally! By strategically placing longer lashes towards the center of your eyes, we can create the illusion of wider, more awake eyes. This trick is especially useful for those early mornings or after a late-night Netflix binge.


Camouflaging Saggy Eyelids Let's face it, gravity is not always our friend. But don't worry,

we've got you covered! By carefully mapping out where your pupil and iris start, we can place lashes in a way that lifts the appearance of your eyelids. This gives you a youthful, refreshed look without the need for invasive procedures.


The Science Behind the Magic

Precision and Measurement Our lash artists are not just beauty experts; they’re precision scientists. We meticulously measure and take note of where each client’s pupil and iris begin. This helps us to apply lashes that complement your natural eye movements and ensure comfort. The arch of your brows is also a critical point of reference, guiding us in creating a balanced and symmetrical lash design.


Tailored Techniques We use various lash lengths, curls, and thicknesses to craft a set of lashes that’s uniquely yours. For example, a C-curl lash can give a dramatic lift, while a J-curl offers a more natural look. By mixing and matching these elements, we can create anything from a subtle enhancement to a bold, glamorous look.


No Two Sets Are Alike

At our salon, we believe in celebrating individuality. Just like fingerprints, no two sets of lashes are identical. Our personalized approach ensures that your lashes not only enhance your eyes but also reflect your personality. Whether you’re aiming for a natural, everyday look or a glam, red-carpet-ready style, we’ve got you covered.


Take a look at our client Tara, who when she came into see us, had been disappointed by eyelash extensions in the past because they made her round eyes look larger. Her eyes are absolutely stunning, but she didn't want to actually look stunned all the time. We designed a set for her that had a modest length curl in the middle above her pupils, and a slightly longer length in the outer third quarter, to very subtly elongate her eyes and make them look a little more almond shaped. What do you think? Can you tell the difference?



Crafting the perfect set of eyelash extensions is both an art and a science. Our team takes pride in delivering customized lash designs that make you feel confident and beautiful.
