One of my clients once asked, “Can I get a lifted look that doesn’t feel heavy or too curled?” That is exactly where M curl lashes shine. They sit in that sweet spot where eyes look brighter, mapping feels controlled, and the finish reads effortless. If you love lash extensions wispy styles, M curl is a must to have in your kit.

What are M Curl Lashes?
M curl lashes have a gentle bend that starts a little higher on the shaft, which creates lift without a harsh flip. They do not poke into lids, and they do not collapse into the lash line when mapped correctly.
Key features
- Soft mid shaft bend for natural lift
- Polished line that suits classic, hybrid, or light volume
- Friendly to mixed maps, especially C curl in the inner third and D curl on outer sections
Popularity in Australia
Artists love M curl because it gives an instant refresh for eyes that need lift, especially on clients with mild hooding or downward angled growth. It is also a great way to evolve regulars who want a wispy look without going full mega volume

Benefits of M Curl Lashes
Natural Lift
M curl mimics a natural curl pattern. It opens the eye without looking overdone, and it photographs beautifully in daylight.
Versatility
M curl lashes blend easily with C curl and CC curl for tailored maps. You can create soft cat, squirrel, or balanced open eye designs with minimal adjustment.
Long Lasting Curl
High-quality PBT holds shape between infills. When your base attachment is clean, the curl stays true, which keeps the line tidy all through the lash cycle.

M curl lashes and L curls both lift, but they feel very different to apply and to wear.

Application techniques for M Curl Lashes
Lash mapping
Plan your apex before you start. For a soft cat map, keep C curl in the inner third, transition to M curl lashes across the center, then add D curl peaks in the outer third if the natural lashes angle down.
Isolation
True isolation is your best friend with M curl because the bend starts higher. Use fine tip isolation tweezers and slow, consistent tension to avoid micro stickies.
Placement
Attach at the base with a clean bond. If you want speed and fewer stickies, pair your fans with UV LED lash glue and a UV LED lash extension so each bond cures in seconds.

Aftercare tips for M Curl Lashes
Cleaning
Use an oil-free lash cleanser daily to remove dust and makeup. Clean lashes keep curl true and bonds intact.
Brushing
A gentle brush every morning and after cleansing helps maintain symmetry and that neat liner edge.
Avoiding oil-based products
Keep heavy oils away from the lash line. If clients love balms, suggest a water-based remover for eye makeup.

Common mistakes to avoid
Overloading lashes
Match fan weight to natural lash strength. If in doubt, go lighter in diameter or reduce the dimension.
Incorrect adhesive use
Humidity swings can change your set speed. Keep a reliable lash adhesive, or control cures with UV LED glue for consistency.
Neglecting aftercare
Teach clients how to cleanse, brush, and book regular infills. Great aftercare keeps the map intact and the curl looking fresh.
