Creating a Wet Lash / Spikey Lash Look
The spikey wet lash look has become an iconic go-to style, loved by celebrities and clients for its dramatic, textured finish. Here’s how to master it.
What is the Wet Lash / Spikey Lash look?
The wet lash or spikey lash style has been around for several years, popularised by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian. The effect mimics the appearance of lashes that are freshly coated with mascara — glossy, slightly clumped, yet chic and deliberate. Clients love the texture, fullness and drama it adds compared with a classic set of lashes.
Step-by-step: How to create the look
- Choose the right lashes: Use ultra-fine lashes in 0.05–0.07 thickness for best results.
- Pick up bundles: Pinch a small bundle of 2–4D extensions directly from the lash strip.
- Keep them closed: Instead of fanning them out, keep the bundle tight to form a spikey tip.
- Dip in adhesive: Dip just the tip or base of the bundle into your lash glue. We recommend our best-selling Fastlash Adhesive for quick bonding.
- Apply as volume: Place each spike onto an isolated natural lash, just as you would with hand-made or pre-made volume fans.
This lash technique creates a thicker, fuller effect than a Classic set but is still classed as a volume lash style.
Pro tips for styling
- Mix lengths: Use varying lash lengths and bundle sizes to achieve a textured, dramatic look.
- Play with curls: Blend C and D curls for added definition and a striking finish.
- Use the right tools: Our Deep Angled V Tweezers are ideal for precision when working with spikey bundles.
- Plan with a lash map: Creating a lash map template helps maintain consistency and balance across the set.
FAQ
What is the difference between Wet Lash and Classic lashes?
Classic lashes are applied one extension per natural lash for a natural look. Wet Lash uses small closed bundles to create a spikey, textured effect with more drama.
Can I mix Wet Lash with other lash styles?
Yes, blending Wet Lash with volume fans or different curl types allows you to customise the look for each client.
How long does the Wet Lash look last?
When applied correctly with a strong adhesive like Fastlash, it lasts the same as a standard volume set — typically 4–6 weeks with infills.
What lash thickness should I use?
Stick to 0.05–0.07 for this style. Anything thicker risks looking clumpy or weighing down the natural lash.
Is Wet Lash suitable for all clients?
Most clients can wear this style. However, it’s best for those seeking a bold, textured look rather than subtle enhancement.
