Beyond M and L: How LC and LB Curl Create More Soft Fox Eye Lashes
The traditional Fox Eye is usually created by gradually increasing the length of the lashes from the inner corner to the outer corner, and then combining with common styles like M or L that have a lifting effect. Such a design often presents a more sharp, neat and clear visual effect.
However, with the emergence of new types of volumes such as LC and LB, the visual aesthetic of gentle pulling is becoming popular. Fox Eye can also present a more gentle and light visual effect while retaining the upward pulling sensation and outward extension feeling required for this style.
Traditional Fox Eye: Sharp and Regular
In traditional fox eye Lash Mapping, the curling style usually opts for M or L curls. This is because the angle of these curls can provide a significant lift effect, visually making the eyelashes appear sharper.

However, this strong curling effect is not the only way to create the lifted eye shape.
As the available curling options become increasingly diverse, makeup artists can also explore softer expressions while still retaining the core features of the Fox Eye.
Fox Eye is becoming gentler
Modern eyelash styles do not always strive for the most intense lines or the most exaggerated outer corners.
Softness does not mean losing visual impact. The more gentle Fox Eye can also give customers’ eyes a visual enlargement and elongation effect, and compared to other styles, the overall transition is more light and smooth.
A well-designed Fox Eye should still allow the visual element to extend outward and upward. The difference lies in the fact that this visual direction is created through completely different combinations of roll and length.

What effect do LB and LC have in the Fox Eye lash style?
In Fox Eye Mapping, LB and LC Curl can perform different visual functions.
The DancingSwan LB curl mascara can be used to create a softer base and make the visual transition between different areas more natural.
Compared to creating very distinct sharp lines, it can make the overall mascara design appear more light and fluffy.

Our LC curl mascara can provide a more pronounced lifting effect and visual direction.
It can help the outer corners of the eyes maintain an elongated appearance while creating a more distinct outward and upward visual trend.
When LB and LC are combined, they can form a type of Fox Eye that is different from the traditional M/L style.
Create the modern Fox Eye with LC and LB
The modern Fox Eye does not have a single fixed formula. The curl combination can be adjusted according to the desired softness, lift, and contour effect.
We usually use LC curl to determine the main framework and direction. As it transitions towards the outer corner of the eye, the length of the LC gradually increases, thereby enhancing the pulling sensation and visual direction. At the same time, adding LB curl eyelashes in the rear part of the eye helps to reduce the sharpness.

The specific volume distribution does not need to be applicable to every customer. Based on the natural growth direction of the eyelashes, the eye shape, the desired visual intensity, and the overall style, finding the appropriate balance among the softness, lift, direction, and extension is the best secret to creating the current fox eye look.
This is precisely what LC and LB Curl offer that makes them appealing for modern Fox Eyes: They allow the eyelash technicians to express the same eye shape concept in more ways, while avoiding the final effect from being too sharp or heavy.
Conclusion
M and L Curl can create a sharp and neat visual effect, while LC and LB offer another possibility – allowing Fox Eye to retain the pulling sensation and directionality while presenting a softer, lighter and more natural visual effect.
The softer Fox Eye does not mean a reduction in the pulling sensation; instead, it presents the pulling sensation in a more delicate way.
LB brings a sense of softness, while LC brings a sense of direction. When combined, they provide a completely new design approach for Fox Eye.
