LashBase Education Day in Ebbw Vale, Wales
Last week, Amy and Anna embarked on a 3.5-hour journey to Ebbw Vale, Wales, to visit Coleg Gwent. The college’s beauty department first reached out to us in late 2024, keen to have LashBase present a Lash Mapping course to their Level 2 and Level 3 Beauty students.
At LashBase, our mission is to raise the standards of lash education by equipping new lash artists with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. So, when the opportunity came up to support students at the beginning of their journey, we jumped at the chance!
Over the two-day visit, we worked with students at various experience levels—some had only practiced on mannequin heads, while others had started working on real models.
Anna led a session on ‘Salon Styling,’ teaching students how to conduct client consultations, select the best lash styles for different eye shapes, and create looks that keep clients coming back. The lesson was a mix of theory and hands-on practice, allowing students to identify their own eye shapes before mapping lash designs on each other.

The feedback from both students and lecturers was fantastic!
"I had a great experience at the masterclass, the Lashbase team - Anna was very professional and interactive with us. She answered every question in detail and was very enthusiastic.
I learned a lot of new information and extra tips to add to my skill set and feel super confident now to take paying clients and be able to analyse and tailor each lash set to my individual client's needs.
I appreciate the practical experience which helped me to put the theoretical knowledge into practice and Anna was there to guide and correct me when needed.
The quiz at the end was the perfect way to finish the class as our knowledge was tested. I was also very pleased with the goody bag and Lashbase Cup that were gifted to us all.
Overall, the day was amazing, I learned so much in the short 3 hour session. My confidence has been immensely boosted and Anna shared ways we could reach out to the brand for any further questions, future education opportunities etc via the brand's social media accounts and website.
Thank you again to my beauty tutor Gabby for organising this wonderful masterclass!"
