Cat Eyelash Extensions Ultimate Guide | SevenLashes Professional Tutorial

What Are Cat Eyelash Extensions?

Cat eyelash extensions are semi-permanent lashes applied individually to your natural lashes using professional adhesive. They are longer and thicker at the outer corners and gradually taper toward the inner corners, creating a feline cat-eye effect.

High-quality cat eyelash extensions, such as SevenLashes, are made of  matte black PBT fibers, available in various lengths, curls, and thicknesses, allowing you to customize your desired look.

How to Apply Cat Eyelash Extensions

Clean Natural Lashes

Use a lash-safe cleanser to remove oil, dirt, and makeup residue, ensuring lashes are completely dry.

Choose the Right Lashes

Select slightly longer lashes at the outer corners and shorter ones at the inner corners to achieve the cat-eye effect. Mix different thicknesses and lengths for added dimension.

Apply Lash Primer

Helps the adhesive bond better to natural lashes. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying extensions.

Apply Extensions One by One

Using tweezers, dip each lash extension into adhesive and place it carefully on the natural lash near the lash line. Start from the outer corner and work inward.

Repeat on the Other Eye

Follow the same procedure to maintain symmetry.

Use Lash Sealer and Brush

Apply a lash sealer to protect the extensions and gently comb through them to ensure even spacing.
