Volume lashes are the very definition of beauty and drama in one. They add fullness to your natural lashes while also creating that va-va-voom effect that you’ve always wanted to achieve without having to wear too much makeup or go through too much trouble. However, getting great volume lashes can be tricky, especially if you’re starting with trying to learn how to apply volume lashes correctly. We’ve compiled these five tips on practicing perfecting your volume lashes so you can get that va-va-voom feeling whenever you want! Here you can get a piece of complete information about volume vs hybrid lashes.
Start with good-quality false eyelashes
It is crucial to start with good-quality false eyelashes. The life span of a pair of falsies and its volume level is determined by how well they’re made. If you want your eyelashes to last long and maintain their volume without falling out, purchase durable lashes. Aside from getting natural-looking extensions, you should also be able to wear them repeatedly without having them fall out or get messed up. That’s why it’s essential to invest in quality lashes made by skilled hands that are strong enough for repeated use.
Put Your Best Face Forward
A lot of people are intimidated by volume lashes—they’re often heavy, dramatic, and way too intense for a lot of people. They can take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to your natural lashes or subtle eyelash extensions.
But if you’re up for trying something new and would like a change from what you’re used to, here’s our advice: practice! It won’t happen overnight, but practicing can help build up your skillset, so it’ll be like second nature when you get them done professionally in about three weeks.
Choose Your Tools Wisely
You must have great tools to get as close to 100 percent as possible. When picking out your lash curler, be sure that it is not too sharp or too pointy. When looking at tweezers, look for ones with thin, flat ends. They’re easier to use and less likely to damage your eye.
With magnifying mirrors, choose one that lets you see deep into those corners; I recommend at least 1x/2x magnification. The last thing you want is errant hair to land in your eye because you couldn’t see it!
Work on One Eyelid at a Time
Give yourself a two-week break to ensure your skills are in top shape before you tackle both eyes at once. Practice applying volume and hybrid-style lashes on one Eyelid for two weeks, then switch over to the other for two weeks. That way, you’ll get used to working with different-sized brushes and techniques on each eye.
After that point, you should be able to go from the start (glue) to the finish (permanent strip) in a single sitting on either of your lids. As many students have, you may even find it helpful to schedule regular maintenance sessions with a professional to help keep things fresh!

Be Patient
They’re not hard to apply, but it does take a little time to get them looking just right. They don’t look natural on the first try, and that’s okay! Go slowly and deliberately, using your spoolie between each lash, and you’ll be glad you did. You can always add more coats if you need to or even do some touch-ups later in the day. The key is being patient with yourself—and remembering that volume lashes are about having fun with your makeup routine rather than trying to rush through it!
How do you make your eyelashes have volume?
You can think of volume and hybrid as two sides of a coin. Volume refers to how thick your eyelashes are, while hybrid refers to how long they are. Many people who want full, long eyelashes choose to wear hybrid false eyelashes, giving them both.
You can also opt for individual volumizing and lengthening treatments at an esthetician’s office. They’ll apply a volumizing serum, wait 15 minutes or so for it to take effect (check out some fun movies in that time), and then go over your natural lashes with a lash-lengthening serum before curling them up with an eyelash curler.
How do you practice lash fans?
Lashes fans are also referred to as volume lashes. They can be used alone or in conjunction with individual lash extensions. To practice, first, isolate one natural eyelash and hold it steady using a tweezer. Then take another natural lash that you’ve isolated and use a thick-tipped lash brush (spoolie) and brush out or curl your natural lash against your hand or arm to lay it flat down against your lid.
How do you practice eyelash isolation?
As a makeup artist, I love learning tips and tricks that can enhance my look. I feel like eyelash isolation is tricky, but it’s possible if you practice! Practice in front of a mirror using mascara on one eye at a time. After you’ve finished with one eye, take a moment to look back at your work and see what looks good and what doesn’t.
Take note of any mistakes you made and try again on your other eye or fill out any missed spots. This can help see what shape will work best for both eyes. Once you’re confident with practicing volume lashes on both eyes, feel free to apply them while applying your full face!
Final Thoughts
One way you can increase your knowledge and skill level is by practicing different styles of eyelash extensions. If you’re working on a hybrid or volume lash set. It may be hard to see exactly how they’ll look until they are applied. Here are a few pointers. Make sure there’s no shadow between your natural lash and your extension (the human eye cannot differentiate dark hair from black). When trying volume vs. hybrid lashes out for yourself, try them in different lengths, thicknesses, and application areas.
