Hi, everyone! Today we'll be talking through one of your very basic mappings, the Dolly mapping.
So to begin with on the eyepatch, you're going to mark your inner
and outer corners. Those are the first lashes and the last lashes.
You'll be working on through the set. For a Dolly, we're going to map the center of the eye - so the
easiest way to do this is to get your client to first look one way and then to look the other
way when their eye comes to rest in the center, this is obviously then the middle of the eye.
Draw a line out from that point and that's where we're going to be working from.
So with a Dolly, it's all about symmetry - so anything you do on one side,
you're going to mirror on the other side.
Start by mapping a nice wide section in the middle - this is where your longest length
is going to be - and then just draw on just your little map of where that's going to go
and then work down evenly either side,
one millimeters shorter than what's in the middle, so start with 11 drop down to 10, through 9, 8,
7 and finally, 6, just to protect those inner corners that tend to be finer and shorter. And
then we'll obviously mirror that on the other side so that we've got a nice, symmetrical set.
So when we're mapping any lash set, it's really important that we take into consideration
the shape and size of our client's eyes and their overall bone structure.
So Dolly mapping is really, really great for those clients with a wider set of eyes.
By a wider set of eyes, we simply mean eyes that are further apart
in distance than the overall width of the eyes themselves. With dolly style
being longer towards the middle of the eye as opposed to the shape of a cat - which
is obviously longer towards the end - we create the illusion that the eyes are closer together.
Any time we have a consultation with our client, we never want to say we're 'correcting'
the eyes at all, we simply want to say that we are
complementing their bone structure or creating a bespoke lash set for them.
So let's have a quick look at how we can create three different top lines just by changing around
how we use lines in the lash set. So the first we would look at is that super even top line, which
is really characteristic of a traditional Russian Volume set. To achieve this, on the bottom layer,
we're going to use our longest length; and this goes for anywhere in the mapping - just pick the
one that you have marked down that will be the longest length. Middle layer we'll drop down
one millimeter. And then again, on the top layer we'll drop down one more millimeter,
so that once your client comes to open their eyes, all of the lashes are on the same level - they've
got that super, super even top line. Lots of dark density, lots of fluffiness throughout.
The next lash line is more of a natural one. So to do this one, all we're going to do
is just on each layer used the same length so that there's not a massive
variation between them. But what they've got is just that really nice natural top line.
So nothing too wispy, nothing too smooth and kind of manicured.
So the last top line that we can take a look at is that really wispy top line that a lot of our
clients are going for at the moment, we achieve this simply by reversing what we did on the even
top line. So on the top layer, longest length, drop down a millimeter for the middle layer,
and then drop down one more millimeter for the bottom layer.
So you've got lots of density in the bottom and lots of wispiness up on the upper layers.
Thank you so much for watching. Take care of yourselves and I'll see you next time.
