Lashes 101: What Does Lash Stacking Mean?

In the land of lashes there is a famous term called “stacking” or “stacking lashes”. 

Any idea what that means?? 

Well, similar to kids stacking blocks, us lash lovers stack lashes! Yep, one lash right on top of the other. 

You can quickly become a lash designer and style a completely new lash design & makeup look when you stack your lashes! 

Why Lash Enthusiasts Stack Their Lashes

1) More Drama 

Lash stacking is an easy way to add more drama to any look! 

Sometimes people will fall in love with a lash style and they can’t get enough of it… Lash stacking allows them to use the same style they know and love, but amplified to the next level! 

2) Customization

It’s time to put your designer hat on! With lash stacking, you have the freedom to create something one-of-a-kind that is unique to your specific lash needs. After all, mixing different lash shapes can make the most unexpectedly beautiful styles! 

Personally, we love the contrast that comes with customization. For example, mixing a wispy lash with a structured lash will give you volume AND definition, while creating a romantic look, making it the best of both worlds! 

Lash stacking means you know longer have to decide between your favorite styles... Now that’s a dream come true!
