What Are Promade Lash Fans? Everything Lash Artists Need to Know

Looking to create beautiful volume lash sets while making your appointments more efficient? Promade lash fans are designed to help you do just that. These already-made fans allow lash artists to create a variety of lash looks without having to hand-make every fan during application.

At Mauvella, promades are where it all began. They're the signature product that built our brand, designed to help lash artists breeze through appointments without compromising on the results their clients expect.

But what exactly are promade lash fans, how do they differ from premade fans, and which stem style is right for you? Here's everything you need to know.

What Are Promade Lash Fans?

Promade lash fans are designed to be applied to an individual natural lash. Instead of creating each volume fan by hand during an appointment, lash artists can pick up an already-made fan and focus on isolation, placement, and styling.

Mauvella's signature promades are flexible and lightweight, available in different dimensions, curls, lengths, and stem styles to help you customize your sets.

Whether you're creating a dense volume look or a softer, fluffier finish, choosing the right fan can help you achieve your desired result.

What Is the Difference Between Promade and Premade Lash Fans?

Although the terms sound similar, promade and premade fans can differ in how they're constructed.

Mauvella's Promade fans are primarily machine-made, with their bases heat-bonded during production. This helps create consistent, symmetrical fans with a base designed for application.

Premade fans, by contrast, are commonly handmade and glued at the base before being stored for later use. The additional adhesive involved in some premade methods can affect the fan's final weight and application.

The key difference is consistency and construction. Mauvella's Promades are designed to give lash artists uniform, ready-to-apply fans without the need to create them individually during appointments.

What Are the Benefits of Using Promade Lash Fans?

1. Save Time During Appointments

Hand-making volume fans takes practice and precision. With promades, the fans are already formed, so you can focus on application and styling instead of creating each fan from scratch.

2. Create Consistent Volume Sets

Consistent fan construction gives you a uniform starting point for your lash sets. Combined with proper isolation, placement, and lash mapping, promades can help you create a polished, even finish.

3. Customize Different Lash Looks

From dense volume sets to soft, fluffy finishes, different fan dimensions and stem styles give you options for creating the look your client wants.

4. Streamline Your Lash Business

Less time spent creating fans means a more efficient application process. For busy lash artists, promades can be a practical addition to your professional lash cart.

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

Mauvella offers three signature promade stem styles, each with its own structure and benefits.

Flat Long Stem Promades

Featuring a flatter base, Mauvella's Flat Long Stem Promades hug the natural lash and help a lot with boosting retention.

This style creates a dense look and a darker lash line, making it a popular choice for fuller volume sets.

Thin Stem Promades

Mauvella's Thin Stem Promades feature a long, narrow base that resembles the appearance of a handmade fan. They're designed to create a dense look, and their slim base offers flexibility in how you position the fan during application.

Short Stem Promades

Looking for a fluffy finish? Short Stem Promades feature a fan that spreads outward more widely, helping create a softer, fuller appearance and fill gaps in the lash line.

Can You Use Promade Lash Fans for Volume and Hybrid Sets?

Yes! Promade fans can be incorporated into different lash styles, depending on the fan dimensions and your application technique.

Volume lash sets: Create fuller, denser looks using pre-formed fans.
Hybrid lash sets: Combine classic individual extensions with volume fans for a balance of definition and fullness.
Wispy and textured sets: Incorporate specialty options such as Mauvella's Promade Spikes to add definition and texture to your lash map.

Always choose appropriate extension dimensions for your client's natural lash health and desired result.

Do Promade Lash Fans Affect Retention?

Retention depends on several factors, including isolation, application technique, adhesive performance, environmental conditions, natural lash health, and aftercare.

Mauvella's Promades feature heat-bonded bases designed to help avoid the need for an additional layer of adhesive from making the fan.

Mauvella’s Flat Long Stem Promades are designed to help boost retention.

For best results, use our Top-Tier Adhesive, follow proper application practices, and give clients clear aftercare instructions.
