In a beauty market where customization is key, stocking only black lashes may no longer be enough to meet client demands. More and more lash artists are offering brown lash extensions as a softer, more versatile alternative – and for good reason.
But when it comes to light vs. dark brown lash extensions, what’s the difference? Which should you stock for your lash brand? And how do you guide clients to the right choice?
In this post, we’ll break down the key differences between light and dark brown lash extensions – and how stocking both can elevate your lash business.
Why Are Brown Lash Extensions Trending?
Brown lash extensions are becoming a go-to for clients who want a more natural, subtle look. Perfect for fair-skin clients, brown lashes add dimension without the intensity of black and are ideal for clients who are after a natural looking lashes look.

Light brown lash extensions: soft and natural
Light brown lash extensions are best for:
- Fair-skinned clients
- Clients wanting a natural enhancement
Key Features:
- Mimics the color of natural lashes
- Gives the appearance of fullness without being overpowering
- Ideal for daytime or bridal sets where a soft, romantic look is preferred

Dark brown lash extensions: warm, defined, and versatile
Dark brown lash extensions are best for:
- Medium to olive skin tones
- Clients with naturally dark brown lashes
- Clients who want definition without harshness
Key Features:
- Offers a warm tone that flatters many eye colors
- More subtle than black, but still provides definition
- Great alternative for clients who find black lashes too bold or “fake-looking”
