Style Decoder
Lash Mapping Styles Decoded: Fox, Kim K, Anime, Wet Look — and the Maps Behind Them
Direct answer: every trend name on your feed resolves to one of five base map families — natural, doll, cat, squirrel, wispy — plus a twist: spikes, closed fans, a softened tail, mirrored lengths. Below, each trend name decoded with a real zone map from our matrix: lengths in millimetres, curls per zone, and the tray that stocks it.

How to read this page
Trend names are styling language; maps are engineering. When a client asks for “fox eye” or “Kim K”, the artist still charts one of five families for that client’s eye shape, then applies the twist. Each entry below names the family, shows a real chart from our 120-map matrix (numbers riding the tips = length in mm per zone; letters under the base = curl), and links the eye-shape page where the full 15-map set for that shape lives.
Natural
Nude set · everyday set
The baseline everyone else is measured against: a soft peak just past centre, gentle taper both ways. The volume workhorse of European orders.
Family: natural · No twist — this is the base map. Chart shown: almond, classic 1:1. Full map set for this shape →
Doll / Barbie
Open-eye · round look
A symmetric centre peak that rounds and opens the eye — the “Barbie” tag is retail language for the same centre-peak doll map.
Family: doll · Chart shown: almond doll, classic 1:1. On round eyes artists flatten the peak; see the round-eyes page for why. Full map set for this shape →
Open Eye
Doll for hooded lids
The doll family tuned for lids that hide length: the peak must clear the fold or the set disappears when the eye is open.
Family: doll · Chart shown: hooded doll, classic 1:1 — peak placed to clear the fold. Full map set for this shape →
Cat Eye
Winged · siren
Elongation: a progressive build with the biggest steps in the last zones, corner curls doing the lift.
Family: cat · Chart shown: almond cat, classic 1:1. Keep D curls in the outer third only. Full map set for this shape →
Kitten Eye
Soft cat · baby wing
The cat map with the tail stepped down instead of chased upward — a subtle flick, not a full wing.
Family: cat · Chart shown: our soft-tail cat resolution (charted for hooded, works as the “kitten” on most shapes): the final zone drops 1mm. Full map set for this shape →
Fox Eye
Fox wet · lifted wing
The strong end of the cat family: maximum elongation with the lift carried by corner curls, usually run in volume fans for density.
Family: cat · Chart shown: almond cat, volume. The “wet” variants close the fans for a glossy finish — see Wet Look below. Full map set for this shape →
Squirrel
Fox-arch · soft lift
Peak between centre and outer corner — under the brow arch — then a taper back down. Lift that still reads soft.
Family: squirrel · Chart shown: almond squirrel, classic 1:1. Full map set for this shape →
Kim K
Spiked doll · glam spikes
A doll or natural base with defined spikes riding 2–3mm above it — the glamour read comes from the spike rhythm, not extra length everywhere.
Family: doll · Chart shown: almond doll base with the spike pass our wispy maps use (+2–3mm at spaced points). Full map set for this shape →
Anime / Spike
Manga lashes
Bold, separated spikes on a clean base — the straight-lash, flat-lid version reads most “anime”, which is why the monolid chart is the reference.
Family: wispy · Chart shown: monolid wispy, classic — M-curl texture zones, spikes ~+2mm. Full map set for this shape →
Feathered / Wispy
Textured · Hollywood
A natural base with spikes at 7–10 points per eye — texture and dimension over drama.
Family: wispy · Chart shown: almond wispy, classic. Skipped on weak natural lashes — spike weight concentrates load. Full map set for this shape →
Wet Look
Glossy · wet effect
A finish more than a map: narrow, closed 2–3D fans on a natural or doll base read dark and glossy, like wet lashes.
Family: natural · Chart shown: almond natural, volume — run it with closed fans for the wet finish. Full map set for this shape →
Hybrid
Mixed set
Not a shape of its own — a technique column: classic strands and volume fans mixed in one set. Every map family runs a hybrid version.
Family: technique, not a map · Chart shown: almond natural, hybrid (0.15 classic strands + 0.05–0.07 fans). Full map set for this shape →
Glam / Mega
Russian glam · full drama
Density is the point: the doll or cat map run in high-D fans (9D–20D on 0.02–0.03mm fibre for true mega volume).
Family: doll or cat, in mega volume · Chart shown: almond doll, volume. Mega volume uses the same map with hand-made 9D–20D fans. Full map set for this shape →
Angel
Angel wing
A clean, lifted wing with the corner carrying long lengths — the shape that carries it best natively is the upturned eye.
Family: cat · Chart shown: upturned cat, classic — curls capped at CC so the lift doesn’t overshoot. Full map set for this shape →
Reverse Cat
Anti-droop · lift map
Longer toward centre, shorter at the corner, with curl strength climbing outward — the inverse of a cat, built to lift a downturned line.
Family: doll logic, mirrored cat · Chart shown: downturned doll, classic — the anti-droop consensus map. Full map set for this shape →
FAQ
What is a fox eye lash map?
Direct answer: the strong end of the cat family — maximum elongation with the lift carried by corner curls, usually run in volume fans. It is a styling name, not a separate mapping system: chart the cat map for the client’s eye shape and push the corner build. “Fox wet” closes the fans for a glossy finish.
What is the Kim K lash style?
Direct answer: a doll or natural base with defined spikes riding 2–3mm above the base lashes at spaced points. The glamour read comes from the spike rhythm; the base map stays modest, which is why it wears well day-to-day.
What are anime lashes?
Direct answer: bold, separated spikes on a clean base — the wispy family with the texture turned up. The reference chart is the monolid version: straight lash lines and flat lids give the most “anime” read, on M-curl texture zones.
What is a wet look lash set?
Direct answer: a finish, not a map — narrow, closed 2–3D fans on a natural or doll base read dark and glossy. Any base map can be run wet; the fan close-up is what makes it.
Are trend names like Fox, Kitten and Barbie different mapping systems?
Direct answer: no — every trend name resolves to one of five base families: natural, doll, cat, squirrel or wispy, plus a twist (spikes, closed fans, a softened tail, mirrored lengths). That is why our matrix charts the five families across eight eye shapes and three techniques — 120 maps — and the trend layer sits on top as styling language.
Which trays do trend styles need?
Direct answer: the same trays as their base family — classic trays (LP-CLA) for 1:1 sets, volume trays (LP-VOL) for fan-built sets, mixed-length 7–15mm trays covering a full zone map from a single tray. Private label runs 100 trays per order, 5 per specification.
