Anime Lash Mapping Guide
Anime inspired lashes are more than just a trend. They’re a precision styling technique that creates wide, expressive eyes using unique mapping, fan selection, and texture.
In this guide, we’ll break down three popular anime lash styles — manga, doll eye, and spiky/wispy and show you which iLevel Lab lash trays from our anime collection to use.
1. Manga Lash Look
The manga lash style features narrow, spaced-out spikes that mimic sharp, graphic lash strokes. This look gives your client definition without bulk and resembles the dramatic lash lines often drawn in anime illustrations.
Recommended Product:
Manga Lashes
These closed premade fans are designed for clean, tapered spikes with zero fluff. They’re perfect for achieving a true manga lash without having to build narrow fans by hand.
Application Tip:
Place each fan with space in between to let the spikes stand out. Avoid applying bonder to the spike tips. This keeps them crisp and narrow.
Best For: Clients who want a clean, vertical lash look with a defined, mascara-like effect.
2. Doll-Eye Anime Look
The doll-eye mapping style focuses longer lashes in the center of the eye to open and lift. This creates a sweet, innocent look with symmetry and balance. It’s especially flattering for almond and downturned eye shapes.
Recommended Product:
Anime Set
This set of premade fans features light, tapered tips and an airy finish — perfect for creating rounded effects with a soft frame.
Application Tip:
Place your longest lengths (13–15 mm) directly above the pupil, tapering shorter lengths out toward the corners. This lifts the eye naturally and avoids harsh transitions.
Best For: Clients looking for a lifted, youthful lash map that flatters the eye shape without overpowering it.
3. Wispy/Spiky Look
If your client wants a bold, defined lash line with texture and volume, this spiky look delivers. The mapping mimics a strip lash, using alternating long and short lengths to create contrast.
Recommended Product:
Anime Mode
Each tray includes pre-arranged spikes and fillers, designed to help you build a wispy lash set with depth and dimension.
Application Tip:
Apply your spikes first using longer lengths, then blend in shorter filler fans in between. Add a touch of bonder at the base of each spike if extra hold or separation is needed.
Best For: Clients who love dramatic lashes, defined texture, and that wispy, layered look.
