Fans Sueltos Promade Púrpura 5D 0,07

1. Cleanse and prime the natural lashes and tape the eye.
2. Preview the fans against the client's own lashes in daylight before agreeing a pattern.
3. Map the accent placements on both eyes and count them.
4. Build the black base of the set first, leaving the marked lashes free.
5. Isolate a single natural lash and dispense a slightly larger glue dot for the tiny base.
6. Dip the base only - adhesive on the fibre dulls the pigment.
7. Place accents on the top layer, matching curl and length to the surrounding black fans.
8. Compare both eyes for symmetry before finishing, then cure fully.

• Placing colour under the black layer - the accent is hidden and the work is wasted. Top layer only.
• Unequal counts between eyes - colour asymmetry is far more visible than length asymmetry. Count per zone.
• Adhesive on the fibre - dulls pigment noticeably. Keep the dip shallow and confined to the base.
• Over-accenting - too much colour turns a design into a costume set. Start conservative.
• Skipping the daylight preview - clients approve under salon light and are surprised outside.

COOL-TONED ACCENTS COMPARED

• Visibility on dark lashes - Purple (lavender): High | Blue (electric): Moderate - reads as depth | Pink (neon): Highest
• Tone - Purple (lavender): Cool, dimensional | Blue (electric): Cool, shadowy | Pink (neon): Warm-bright, graphic
• Best eye colours - Purple (lavender): Blue, grey, green | Blue (electric): Brown, hazel | Pink (neon): All
• Typical use - Purple (lavender): Festival, creative, everyday accents | Blue (electric): Subtle dimension | Pink (neon): Statement accents and campaigns
• Daylight behaviour - Purple (lavender): Holds tone reasonably well | Blue (electric): Can flatten to dark | Pink (neon): Holds tone strongly
• Blends with black - Purple (lavender): Yes, as a gradient | Blue (electric): Yes, almost seamlessly | Pink (neon): Deliberate contrast

Materials: PBT pro-silk fibre with lavender pigment, bonded with a light cosmetic adhesive at the base. Vegan, latex-free and cruelty-free. Patch test new clients for adhesive sensitivity.

Purple or pink for a client who wants colour but not a statement?

Purple, generally - it reads as dimension against dark lashes where pink reads as a deliberate graphic accent. Clients who describe wanting colour "but subtle" are usually describing purple, and showing both against her lashes settles it quickly.

Does purple work on brown eyes, or only cool eye colours?

It works on both, but differently - against blue and grey eyes it echoes and reinforces the colour, while against brown eyes it reads as a cool contrast that makes the eye look warmer. Neither is wrong; it is worth telling the client which effect she is getting.

How many accent fans should a purple set use?

For a dimensional effect, roughly one in six to one in eight top-layer lashes through the outer half; for a visible statement, a concentrated block through the outer third. Purple is visible enough that a high scattered count tips the set into looking coloured rather than accented.

Can I run purple and blue in the same set?

Yes, and a purple-to-blue gradient through the outer third is one of the more successful two-tone designs, because the tones share a cool family and read as a transition rather than a clash. Let one dominate rather than splitting the count evenly.

Client says the purple looks grey in some lighting - is that normal?

Yes. Cool pigments lose saturation under low or cool light and can flatten toward grey, particularly on dark natural lashes. It is a lighting effect rather than a product issue, but it is exactly why a daylight preview before the set matters.
