Once reviled, now sought after and desired! Volume lashes in ready-made fans have come a long way in their evolution and the once often low-quality, thick-legged fans have been replaced by silky-smooth, perfectly symmetrical beauties that lash stylists and their clients can't get enough of. Thanks to their popularity, all sorts of modern fan types are appearing on the market. What are they? Let's talk about them!
Are ready-made fans the right choice for you?
Whether to create you own fans as you work or use ready-made ones is a question that more and more lash artists are facing in the course of their business. Therefore, I have already discussed the price and overall comparison in the article Which volume lashes will cost you less. If you want to know the different pros and cons, I recommend reading the article.
I like to say that it's best to try working with our fans on your own (or rather with your clients). You'll be able to see for yourself if the fuss about them is deserved.
And now to our overview of the different types of fans!
Classic volume eyelashes in a fan
They're soft, lighter than a snowflake, darker than midnight, beautifully symmetrical and universally popular! We offer them both loose and in premium quality, in books on tape. In both variants you have a choice of different lengths, thicknesses and curvatures.
Why go for the "classics"? You'll always be satisfied with these fans. The quality workmanship will not let you down and whether you choose 3D fans, 8D fans or any variant in between, the resulting set is always beautifully fluffy and rich.
Narrow volume lashes in ready-made fans
It's amazing to see how quickly this innovation has become a bestseller. Just like our classics, Narrow fans are made from a very high quality material and you can get both the loose and premium versions on strips.
Why is Narrow so popular? Compared to regular fans, the Narrow fans are narrower in the span (the Narrow 3D fan is about 1.5 mm narrower than the regular fan). In practice, therefore, they form a much fuller and sleeker set, which is often referred to as "Russian Volume". In the hands of a skilled lash artist, the client's eyes are almost like a blinking doll. She won't spend half a day on your couch!
Camellia volume lashes in ready-made fans
Camellia volume lashes are a modern type of fan that has found a way to make the work of lash artists a little easier. They stand out from the norm by alternating the length of each individual lash in each fan. You can try them in the loose, as well as the premium and 5D versions.
Why do Camellia fans alternate the length of each lash? It's simple! They mimic the natural growth cycle of natural lashes and are the answer to the demand for the most natural volume. The resulting set looks structured, yet retains regularity and order. It doesn't get any simpler or faster to achieve natural volume.
If you like the idea of natural volume and want to know more about Camellia, I recommend checking out my article, Divinely Natural Camellia Volume Lashes.
Wispy volume lashes in ready-made fans
Kim Kardashian once came back from her lash artist with a set where bold "spokes" of lashes stood out from a neat line and her admirers went crazy. Kim K's styling - which, of course, takes its name from the woman who popularized it - is highly sought after by clients but not very popular with us lash artists, after all, because the spikes or spokes are extra work. And that's why Wispy was created.
Why do you and your clients love Wispy fans? Because they work on a similar principle to Camellia - there are two different lengths of lashes in each fan. In the case of Wispy, however, only the central lash differs, which stands out like a beam above the others. You can therefore save yourself a lot of work and offer your loyal customers a Kim K-style styling, but you won't get too excited. That's what you want!

I'm hoping that if you haven't tried some (or any) of these types of volumizing lashes yet, that they're already sitting in your cart and you'll give them a try the first chance you get.
Ready-made fans can really make the application of false lashes noticeably faster and more enjoyable with regular practice, and you know as well as I do that the saying "time is money" goes double for us lash artists.
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram to see which type of fans you like best. I look forward to the next time!
