Speaker Sessions:
- Learn a simple, guided system to match lash colors to natural eye colors.
- Pitch colored lashes as a subtle, personalized enhancement rather than a bold change.
The Iris Edit: Turning Colored Lashes Into an Easy Yes
Colored lashes do not have to feel bold, complicated, or hard to sell. In this session, lash artists will learn the system behind The Iris Edit: The Wearable Color Match Collection, a simple, paint by numbers approach to matching lash color to natural eye color so artists can recommend wearable color with confidence.
Launching exclusively at LASHCON, The Iris Edit was created to take the guesswork out of colored lashes. Artists will learn how to match brown, blue, green, and hazel eyes with soft, flattering lash colors, explain the recommendation in client friendly language, and introduce color as personalization instead of pressure.
