• Aurora Jing
YY lashes are split-tip lash extensions designed to create a fuller look than classic lashes while still feeling lighter and easier to apply than handmade volume fans. For lash artists, they can be a useful option for clients who want soft fullness without a very heavy finish.
YY lashes have a distinctive shape that creates a textured, fluffy effect. They are often used for clients who want something between classic and volume.

The result is often: * Fuller than classic lashes * Softer than heavy volume * Textured and fluffy * Faster to apply than handmade fans * Suitable for natural but noticeable sets
