Which face shape requires avoiding a "cat eye" look in eyelash extensions?

A round face shape typically has soft curves and rounded features, which can give the appearance of a wider face. When applying eyelash extensions, particularly with a "cat eye" look, which emphasizes longer lashes at the outer corners, it may highlight the roundness of the face rather than elongating it. This can accentuate the width of the face, making it appear fuller and rounder, which is generally not the desired effect for clients looking to create the illusion of length and elegance.

In contrast, other face shapes such as square, oval, and oblong may have different characteristics that can complement a "cat eye" style. For example, square face shapes can benefit from the added height and lift that a "cat eye" provides while balancing the strong jawline. Oval face shapes are versatile and can accommodate various styles, including a "cat eye," as they already have a naturally balanced appearance. Oblong faces may also enjoy the style as it can create the illusion of width and balance the length of their features.

Overall, understanding the unique characteristics of different face shapes allows for more personalized eyelash extension applications that enhance a client's natural beauty.
