The Ultimate Guide To Kim K Style

What is Kim K style?

There are many names in the lash field when it comes to the Kim K style, you might recognize it by the other names: wispy look/spiky look. What makes this style special is that longer lashes are added through the main set. This style is meant to make the natural eyes bigger. This set would suit people with smaller eyes. It is not recommended to use this style on people who have big eyes or downturned eyes.

The wispy look or Kim K look is more like a modified version of a base lash set. For example take a look at a wispy natural lash map:

As you can see the wispy spikes are placed evenly spaced between each spike and are placed according to how large each section is.

You can add on the wispy style onto any existing lash set like cat eye or doll eye sets to create eye catching and dramatic sets for your clients!
