Short Stem vs. Flat Stem vs. Thin Stem Promade Lash Fans: What's the Difference?

Not all promade lash fans create the same finish. The stem style you choose can influence the overall appearance of your lash set, from soft, textured volume to a bold, defined lash line.

At Mauvella, we offer three signature promade lash stem styles: Short Stem, Flat Long Stem, and Thin Stem. Each offers a different approach to volume styling, giving lash artists more options when creating customized sets for their clients.

So, which promade lash stem should you choose? Let's compare the differences and find the right fit for your technique.

What Is the Difference Between Short Stem, Flat Stem, and Thin Stem Promades?

Each promade stem style offers a different fan structure and styling possibility. Depending on the look you're creating, one may work better than another.

Here's a quick comparison:

• Short Stem: Ideal for creating softer, fluffy volume with added texture.
• Flat Long Stem: A great choice for dense volume and a more defined lash line.
• Thin Stem: Offers a narrower base and greater flexibility with fan placement.

Short Stem Promade Lash Fans

If you love creating fluffy, textured lash sets, Short Stem Promades are worth adding to your lash cart.

Their open, outward-spreading design makes them a great option for creating dimension throughout the lash line. They're especially useful for artists who prefer a softer volume aesthetic or want to incorporate more texture into their lash maps.

Whether you're creating an everyday volume set or something with a little more drama, Short Stem Promades offer another way to customize your finished look.

Flat Long Stem Promade Lash Fans

If you love a dense volume set with a darker lash line, Flat Long Stem Promades might be your new favorite.

Their wide, flat base is designed to create greater contact with the natural lash and to help boost retention! This makes them a popular choice for lash artists looking to create a fuller, more defined finish.

Thin Stem Promade Lash Fans

For lash artists who like more control over fan positioning, Thin Stem Promades offer a different application experience.

Their slim profile makes them a great option for artists who enjoy the look and structure of traditional handmade volume fans. They're particularly suited to creating defined volume sets where precise placement and a more structured finish are part of the desired look.

If you prefer working with a narrower fan base, Thin Stem Promades are worth experimenting with.

Can You Mix Different Promade Stem Styles?

Absolutely! You don't have to stick to one stem style throughout an entire lash set.

Combining different fan structures can help create more customized lash maps, especially when you're working with different textures and levels of volume.

For example:

• Fluffy volume sets: Use Short Stem Promades to introduce softness and texture.
• Dramatic volume sets: Incorporate Flat Long Stem Promades for a bolder lash line.
• Defined volume sets: Try Thin Stem Promades for a more structured finish.
• Wispy lash sets: Add Mauvella's Promade Spikes to create extra dimension and definition.

Always consider your client's natural lash health, appropriate fan dimensions, and desired result when planning your lash map.
