EXPERT LASHInternational Championship

The founder

Bianca Dalan

She built the stage she wished she had.

Top lash trainer and international judge, founder of Expert Lash and creator of Be The Trainer.

She came into the industry in 2018, as a student, with one basic course. Eight years later she has taught across Europe, the Americas and the Middle East, created her own eyeliner technique and built a brand around it. Expert Lash International Championship is the next step of the same idea.

Her mission

Raise the standards of the industry, keep the judging transparent, and give artists real international recognition.

Bianca Dalan

Where it started

One basic course, and a student who wanted more

Bianca entered the lash industry in 2018, while she was still a student, looking for something to do in her free time and a little extra income. It all began with a single step, the basic course.

In 2020 she was working Foxy Eyes. In 2022 she turned her eyeliner look into her own method, the Expert Eyeliner Effect Technique, which became her signature. Her studio, Expert Lash Studio, is in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and it is still where her work is rooted.

Her signature

Expert Eyeliner Effect

A lash set that reads like a stroke of eyeliner: dense and dark along the line, lifted at the outer corner, with no makeup at all. It is the look her name is known for, and her own patented technique since 2022.

She has taught it in class from Cluj-Napoca to Athens, Turin, Montreal and São Paulo, presented it on the stages of Interlash Brazil, Lash Conf Monaco and Lash Global Dubai, and gathered it in her book, All About Eyeliner Effect & Foxy Eyes.

What she built

One idea, four ways to share it.

  • Expert Lash Academy

    In-class courses at her studio in Cluj-Napoca and abroad, alongside online courses and mentoring in Romanian and English, so an artist can learn from her without travelling.

  • Expert Eyeliner Effect

The championship

A stage judged on merit alone

In November 2025 she launched Expert Lash International Championship, fully online, open to artists everywhere and judged blind. Entries reach the judges as codes, never as names, and every criterion is scored on its own.

The first edition ran until spring 2026. Edition II, ELC 2027, is open now.
