PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DETAILED INFORMATION INCLUDED FROM THE VERY TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

All case studies require photographs and videos to be submitted

A case study is photographic evidence of your work to show your understanding of both the theory and practical taught on your course and the ability to apply this to real models outside of your training. 

Once you have passed all case studies you will be emailed your digital copy of your certificate. Hard copies can be requested at extra cost.

You must send through the correct case study requirements, this is so that we can conform to our accrediting body. Failure to send through the correct requirements means we are unable to mark your content against the criteria set.

  • There is no time limit to complete your case studies.
  • Students MUST pass their case studies in order to gain their certification. The number of case studies required varies for each course therefore, please read the additional requirements for the course you have taken.
  • Case studies are assessed by trainers from the Eyelash Excellence team.
  • Each case study must be performed on a real and different model – select “suitable models” that showcase your ability to work on a variety of eyelash types. (We do not permit case studies to be submitted on mannequin heads).
  • We will accept a maximum of 2 resubmissions for each case study (any resubmission MUST be performed on a different model).
  • If you do not pass after 2 resubmissions, you will then be offered free additional training either in person or if unable to re-attend then online support.
  • Case studies will be assessed within 5 working days (due to staff commitments).
  • The trainer’s decision on case studies is final.
  • Do NOT send all of your case studies at once, wait for our feedback where you may be requested to work on certain areas. If multiple case studies are sent at once, tthen it is likely you will be asked for resubmissions.
  • Photographs and videos MUST be clear, taken close up and in good lighting. You MUST send the correct photographs and videos. Failure to provide the correct photographs may lead to a fail. Please do not resize images, send in original format so that image quality isn’t lost.
  • Please ensure that where stated in the photographs, pads are left on the client to show the NLs. Without pads, the lower lashes can show through and distort the set.
  • Do NOT use any editing apps, filters or skin smoothing on your photos, this will result in a FAIL.

In all case studies please state the following: (Please CUT & PASTE this information into your email to us, answering each question).

  • Your full name
  • The course you purchased
  • The date of the course you attended/purchased
  • Your case study number (case study #1,#2,#3,#4 or “Resubmission of case study #2 etc.
  • Lash map used i.e. from inner to outer 6/7/8/9/10/11/12/11/10/9/8/7 (this MUST match the photo of your mapping used on your eye-pads)
  • Describe in detail the styling choice and reasons for this (Beginners students use Kitten effect only)
  • The type of extension used (classic, pre-made fans, hand made fans, YY lashes, clover lashes etc)
  • The thickness and curl(s) used
  • The percentage of natural lashes covered (min of 80% coverage for Beginners). Advanced lash artists you are expected to cover as near to 100% as possible
  • For volume students – the dimension of the fan (3D/4D/5D/6D etc.)
  • Describe what you felt went well and what didn’t/could be improved on

For any clarification of the above please contact us.

You are also required to submit x3 videos:

Video 1: A short video showing your completed full set, with both eyes open and then closed (approx. 15 – 20 seconds long) Although this video shows only one eye completed, it demonstrates the type of angle we would like to see, with both the eyes open and closed, as well as the approximate time of the video.
PLEASE SUBMIT THE VIDEO WITH “BOTH EYES” COMPLETED

Video 2:   A video which shows you working close up and in “real time” on one eye only. This allows us to see you working on the model and ensure that safe working practices are being carried out.

(This video has been taken from my Mega volume online course which is advanced lashing using 0.05mm in the inner and outers and 0.03mm over the middle sections, as such in this course I teach my advanced students to lash 100% of inners and outers first. If you are a beginner to Classic lashing, refreshing your skills, or taking Russian volume for the first time, I always recommend building an even structure and ignoring my advanced technique in this video. I have also sped up this video/added cuts just to show you an example of what we would like to see, so please ensure that you film this in real time and do NOT edit it from the original filming.

  • This video should be between 5-7 minutes
  • Filmed close up of one eye only, so that the assessor can clearly see the eye being worked on. The video must be clear and remain in focus. We appreciate this can be difficult, therefore you may need someone to help you with this, or you can use a tripod to assist. Videos can be taken on your phone (if this provides quality filming) or another suitable camera. Please ensure that your head does not obstruct the view and that you check the video once you stop filming to ensure you have captured the required video.
  • Please find the best angle to set your camera up, see the example video to assist with the best camera angles.
  • We recommend that you allow yourself at least 20 minutes of working the model before you start filming, this will allow you to build the main bones of your set and have settled into your lash rhythm.

Video 3:   A short video of one eye, with the eye closed and using a mascara wand (NEVER tweezers) to brush through the extensions and pull from side to side so we can clearly see that clean application (no stickies) has been executed.
