How to Recreate the Viral Lash Look from Huda on Love Island USA Season 7

There’s always something to obsess over on Love Island, but this season’s standout beauty buzz? Huda Mustafa’s lashes. Her dramatic, wispy cat-eye style has sparked a wave of tutorials, memes, and debate across social media—and lash artists are taking notice.

Whether your clients are asking for “the Huda look” or you want to stay ahead of 2025 lash trends, this article breaks down how to recreate her now-iconic lash style.

What’s the “Huda Lash Look”?

Huda’s lashes are making waves for being:

  • Wispy and full with a “wet” volume effect

  • Elongated into a soft cat-eye shape

  • Feathery and texturized, without being overdone

It’s not quite a mega volume set, and not quite classic—it's the perfect hybrid of bold glam and flirty softness. The look bridges natural and dramatic, making it wearable but statement-making.

Why It’s Trending

  • TV spotlight: Seen by millions on Love Island USA Season 7

  • Viral TikToks: Beauty creators are rushing to recreate it with captions like “Trying Huda’s lash map from Love Island!”

  • Controversy: Some fans love it, others are not so sure—creating even more buzz and curiosity

  • Client demand: The wispy cat-eye is already popular, but this look gives it a fresh, TV-fueled twist

How to Recreate the Huda Lash Look in Your Studio

Here’s how lash artists can bring the Huda effect to life:

Lash Mapping (Wispy Hybrid Cat-Eye)

  • Inner corners: 8–10 mm (light, sparse)

  • Mid-lash zone: 11–13 mm (wispier fans or narrow hybrids)

  • Outer corners: 14–15 mm (long, defined clusters for lift)

  • Use spiked clusters or longer fans spaced between shorter volume fans to create a textured, wispy effect.

Lash Type & Curl

  • Use 0.05–0.07mm diameter for lightweight volume

  • Curls: CC or D for most clients

  • Add closed fans or "wet look spikes" for extra drama

Adhesive Tips

  • Use a fast-drying glue for best placement (0.5–1 second)

  • Maintain optimal humidity (45–65%) in your lash room

  • Bond each fan securely to ensure long-lasting retention

Finishing Touches

  • Comb through with a clean spoolie to separate and fluff

  • Seal gently without over-manipulating

  • Offer a lash bath post-cure if needed for any stickies
