Less Drama, More Definition: The New Lash Trend to Love

With summer just around the corner, it’s time to get ready for sunshine, sea breeze, and that effortlessly beautiful look we all love. As the days grow warmer and festive plans start filling the calendar, one trend is already taking the spotlight - light, natural-looking lash extensions. They’re the ultimate must-have for a fresh, breezy summer style.

At NZ Lashes, we love helping artists create those fresh, breezy sets that perfectly match the Kiwi summer lifestyle. Here’s what’s trending, and how to achieve the look your clients will be asking for all season.

1. Effortless Beauty Is In

Gone are the days of dramatic, heavy lashes. This summer, clients are embracing subtle enhancement, lashes that lift and open the eyes while still looking soft and natural. Think “your lashes, but better.”

Hybrid, light-volume, or classic sets are leading the way, offering beautiful definition without the weight. They pair perfectly with glowy skin, minimal makeup, and that sun-kissed, low-maintenance vibe we all love in summer.

2. Lightweight for the Heat

Warm weather and humidity can make fuller sets feel heavier and more prone to retention issues. Lighter lash styles not only look more natural but also adhere and wear better in the summer climate.

Opt for 0.07mm or 0.10mm lashes for volume fans, or 0.15mm for classics. Your clients will appreciate the comfortable, feather-light feel, even during long days outdoors.

3. Customise with Texture

Natural doesn’t have to mean boring! The trend is all about soft texture and movement. Use mixed-length fans or wispy mapping techniques to create a “barely-there” dimension that mimics natural lash growth.

This technique enhances the eyes without a heavy, uniform look — perfect for bright daylight or beachy photos.

4. Embrace Easy Aftercare

Your clients will be swimming, sweating, and enjoying the outdoors, so easy lash care is key. Recommend daily brushing to keep their lashes fluffy and fresh.

Consider offering and giving away a spoolie as a seasonal add-on or holiday promotion.
