Brown lashes - why your clients will love them
If you’re a lash technician who hasn’t yet explored the magic of brown lashes, it’s time to get on board! While black lash extensions have long been the industry standard, brown lash extensions are quickly becoming a favourite among clients, and for good reason.
I’ll be honest: after nine years of wearing eyelash extensions, I finally decided to try brown lashes. And let me tell you, I’m converted. If you want the full low-down on choosing lengths, curls, and tones, our brown lash extensions guide covers everything. The way they soften my eyes while still adding definition is unreal. I love a natural, lined look without anything looking too harsh, and brown lash extensions deliver exactly that. But I’m not the only one obsessed - more and more clients are asking for brown lashes, and as a lash tech, you need to know why.
Why are brown lashes trending?
Brown lash extensions are having a serious moment, and here’s why your clients will love them too:
A softer, more natural look
Not every client wants their lash extensions to scream volume. Some prefer a softer, effortless enhancement. Brown lashes blend beautifully with natural lashes, giving that ‘born with it’ effect. They define the eyes without the stark contrast of black, making them perfect for clients who love a more delicate aesthetic.
Flattering on all skin tones and eye colours
One of the biggest misconceptions is that brown lashes only suit lighter features. Wrong! The secret is in choosing the right shade of brown:
- Warm brown lashes complement golden and olive complexions
- Cool brown tones enhance fair and deep skin tones with cooler undertones
- Neutral brown tones work beautifully across all complexions
And let’s talk about eye colour—brown eyelash extensions make blue and green eyes pop, while adding stunning warmth to brown and hazel eyes. It’s a subtle enhancement that works for everyone.
Perfect for clients who wear minimal makeup
If your client doesn’t wear heavy makeup or prefers a ‘clean girl’ aesthetic, brown lash extensions are a dream. They add a soft shadow to the lash line without looking harsh, meaning they can skip eyeliner but still have that natural definition.
Ideal for mature clients
For clients with mature skin, deep black lashes can sometimes look too harsh. Brown lashes provide a lifted, youthful effect without overpowering the face. They complement softer features beautifully, making them a great option for older clients who still want that lash effect.
Versatile and customisable
The best part? Brown eyelash extensions aren’t limited to one look. You can:
- Mix brown fans with black for a subtle dimension
- Layer different shades of brown for a multi-tonal effect
- Offer full brown set for an ultra-soft, natural vibe.
