Any girl wants to have fluffy and long eyelashes. Yes, and also healthy! However, not all mother nature gave a look that can attract the attention of the opposite sex! In pursuit of beauty, young ladies resort to various procedures, such as eyelash extensions. Is it possible to avoid this kind of mechanical effect on the eyelashes? The answer is yes. False eyelashes will help. How to use false eyelashes and choose them correctly for any occasion, this article will tell.
Forms and varieties of false eyelashes
In the modern beauty industry, there are countless brands that produce false eyelashes. Some of the best can be called Tatti Lashes, Lilly Lashes, House of Lashes and some others. Eyelashes differ in material, length, shape. However, with regard to the types of false eyelashes, they can be divided into three:
- bunches;
- ribbons
- and a new third species, which will be discussed later.
Bunches are used to create a more natural look. They are a kind of brush, which consist of several cilia. How to use false eyelash bundles? They are glued pointwise to those places where they want to create the greatest volume (most often - in the corners of the eyes). The procedure for applying eyelashes will be described below.
Ribbons are slightly different from bunches. In fact, these are bundles already glued to a thin strip, which, in turn, must be glued to the eyelid. Unlike bunches, there are a lot of varieties of this type of false eyelashes: natural, with rhinestones, with feathers, etc.
What you need to know before gluing eyelashes?
Many girls who are seriously interested in the subject of false eyelashes, the question arises, what is harmless - to build up or glue?
Do not forget that eyelash extension is a mechanical intervention that, if the mandatory rules are not followed, can lead to unpleasant consequences: infection or pathogenic bacteria, allergic reactions, etc.
An allergy can also occur when gluing eyelashes, since glue is used in this procedure. It is very important to familiarize yourself with the instructions of the adhesive bases, checking if there are any allergies or other substances that are part of the composition. In no case do not save on glue, because everyone knows the saying: "Avaricious pays twice!"
Cook tools
Before you understand how to use false eyelashes, you need to prepare the necessary tools, as for any procedure. It is recommended not to skip this step so that the process of applying false eyelashes is more effective. So, you need to prepare:
- false eyelashes;
- tweezers;
- scissors;
- cotton pad or cotton swab;
- warm water;
- makeup remover liquid.
After you have prepared all the necessary materials, it's time to learn how to use false eyelashes at home.
Glue false eyelashes
Before proceeding directly to gluing eyelashes, you must correctly determine the size. What does it mean?
- Apply eyelashes to the eyelid using tweezers.
- Most likely, they will be longer than the cut of the eyes, therefore, by comparing the beginning of the false eyelashes with the beginning of the growth of your own in the inner corner of the eye, holding them with your fingers, grasp with tweezers the false eyelashes in the outer corner where you need to cut them.
- Carefully trim the cilia with nail scissors.
Now that you’ve finally prepared everything you need, it's time to learn how to use false eyelashes:
- Before you glue eyelashes, apply makeup, except for mascara.
- Twist your own eyelashes using a curler (this step can be skipped if your eyelashes have a beautiful bend by nature).
- Holding tweezers, apply a little glue to the ribbon of eyelashes (or to the bundle). This can be done with a thin brush or cotton swab.
- Let the glue dry a little (grab). Wait 15-20 seconds.
- Glue the eyelashes as close as possible to the growth of their own, starting from the outer corner of the eye. Take your time, be careful.
- Tint eyelashes (if desired) and adjust eyeliner.
After you have glued your eyelashes, make sure they are firmly fixed - blink quickly and often. Well that's all, now you are the owner of luxurious eyelashes.
How to remove false eyelashes?
Experts do not advise resorting to the use of false eyelashes very often, since the substances that make up the glue adversely affect the condition of their eyelashes (and here, on the false eyelashes there is an advantage over extensions - they can be removed at any time).
Now that we’ve learned how to use false eyelashes, it's time to find out how to remove them.
In no case do not try to tear off the eyelashes from the eyelids - you only damage the skin. Everything needs to be done very calmly and smoothly:
- First, moisten a cotton pad with warm water and apply to the eyelids - make a kind of compress for a couple of minutes.
- Then apply liquid makeup remover on a cotton swab and slowly, without pressure, draw it along the eyelash growth line.
- Now grab the tip of the false eyelashes and gently pull them. Done!
No one canceled the departure!
It is worth remembering that after you have removed the false eyelashes, it is necessary to perform all skin care procedures around the eyes. If you are not used to doing them, then here are some recommendations:
- Sweep a cotton pad moistened with warm water over the eyelids to remove any glue.
- Lubricate the skin around the eyes with a special cream.
- Apply firming oil to the eyelashes.
What is the third kind of false eyelashes ?!
If you remember, at the beginning of the article mentioned a mysterious new look of false eyelashes. These are eyelashes with magnets that have become widespread and have become very popular in 2017.
Usually, in a set for one eye, there are three small ribbons with long cilia and three with short ones, which allows, as in the case of bunches, to vary the number of false eyelashes. These are the so-called false eyelashes on three magnets. How to use?
Fix long cilia on top of your cilia and short ones under. And voila! A beautiful cat look is guaranteed to you!
The undoubted advantages of this type of cilia are absolute hypoallergenicity (there is no need to use glue for eyelashes) and a more natural look. However, practice shows that cilia on magnets are much more difficult to use than the usual waybills.
But now you know that there is a new type of false eyelashes, and you know how to use false eyelashes with magnets.
