Lami Effect Lashes: The Lash Lift Look With Extensions
If your clients love the bright, lifted look of a lash lift but still want the fullness and structure of lash extensions, get to know the lami effect lash trend! Lami Effect Lashes are quickly becoming a go-to style in the lash industry because they combine two techniques in one set: closed fans and anime lashes.
The result? A soft, eye-opening finish with defined 3D spikes that mimic the lifted, separated look of a lash lift but with the added depth and dimension of extensions.
This isn’t about 100% coverage. It’s about shape, texture and intentional structure.
What Are Lami Effect Lashes?
Lami Effect Lashes are designed to recreate that fresh lash lift effect using extensions. Instead of a uniform, fluffy volume set, this style focuses on:
- Structured spikes
- Light, airy coverage
- A lifted, open-eye finish
- A mix of classic lashes and closed fans
The key difference from a standard anime lash set is the layering technique. You’re building height and dimension by combining classic lashes (top layer) with closed fans (bottom layer) to create bold, triangular spikes.
How to Create the Lami Effect Lash Look
1. Start With Your Layers
Layering is everything in this set.
- Bottom layer: Closed fans
- Top layer: Classic lashes, 3mm longer than the bottom layer
2. Build the Signature Triangle Spikes
In each section of the eye, you’ll create a structured spike.
Think of each spike like a triangle:
- Some lashes placed straight
- Some lashes placed slightly angled
- The classic lash sits in the centre, finishing the very tip of the spike
Unlike a full volume set, you’re not aiming for 100% coverage. Leave softness between sections so the spikes stand out. Space is part of the design.
3. Choose the Right Curl
For Lami Effect Lashes, stick with a natural curl like C curl (ideal for that lifted but believable finish). Stronger curls can make the spikes look too dramatic and take away from the ‘lash lift effect.’ The goal is lifted and structured, not heavy.
4. Lock In the Definition
To enhance the spike effect even further, finish your set by applying a small amount of flexibonder to the tips of the lashes.
This helps:
- Keep the spikes sharp
- Encourage the lashes to come together at the tips
- Make the 3D structure more noticeable
It’s a small step that makes a big difference in how defined the finished set looks.

This style is perfect for clients who:
- Love the look of a lash lift but want more impact
- Prefer a natural yet textured lash extension set
- Want their eyes to look more open and lifted
- Don’t like heavy, dense volume
It’s especially flattering on clients with straight, natural lashes who normally opt for lash lifts but are ready to try something more dimensional.
Why This Trend Is Growing
Lash artists are leaning into textured, intentional styling rather than uniform fullness. Lami Effect Lashes fit perfectly into that. It’s creative, technical and when done correctly, it’s very flattering.
If you’re looking to offer something different in your lash extension treatments while keeping that wearable, lifted finish clients love, Lami Effect Lashes are definitely worth adding to your styling menu!
