Representatives of the fair sex spend a lot of time on daily makeup: from one to two hours at least. But in the evening the perfect make up is still far from excellent state. If the beauty plans to meet with her beloved in the evening, go to a public place or shop with her friends, then makeup will have to be restored. Recently, persistent make up is gaining popularity - for example, tattooing eyebrows or lips, eyelash extensions. Not everyone knows how to increase eyelashes at home.
Extension methods
Many of the fair sex have long appreciated all the delights of this procedure. Women regularly attend beauty salons for this purpose. Some have refused the services of specialists and carry out such a procedure independently. If you do not know how to increase eyelashes at home, then you can be sure that nothing is possible. If you set a goal, then everything will work out for you.
The main condition - patience, perseverance, attitude towards a positive result. Do not despair if you can not do everything perfectly from the first time. Gaining experience, you gradually get closer to the desired effect.
There are several methods and techniques of building, which are successfully used by girls at home. The most important thing is to determine the expected result.
The main methods of artificial eyelash extension suggest two ways to carry out such a procedure:
- Marshy way - is to attach each hair separately. It is necessary to glue one artificial element to one own eyelash.
- Bundle buildup - involves the simultaneous gluing of several eyelashes, which are collected in a bun. This method is considered one of the easiest and fastest, since several hairs can be glued at the same time at a time.
You can achieve different results using several different techniques and effects:
- Natural effect - hairs of different length are glued, there is a smooth transition from small elements to large ones (from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one).
- "Fox" look - creates a dramatic change (from small hairs to longer ones).
- "Squirrel" look - short eyelashes are glued along the ciliary row, and the outer corner of the eye has several long hairs. “Puppet” eyes - eyelashes of the same length are enlarged throughout the eyelid. This technique looks somewhat artificial and is more suitable for a festive event than for everyday wear.
- Sparse result - in the process of extension, long and short hairs alternate.
- 3D effect - allows you to create the most voluminous version of the extended eyelashes. To one own eyelash can be glued simultaneously and 2, and 3 artificial elements. The main success of this type is the presence of its strong eyelashes, as the weakened and thin hairs will not be able to withstand the weight of the glued ones and will break or fall out with them.
Advantages and disadvantages of various techniques
Starting eyelash extensions, you need to be prepared for the fact that this is quite a painstaking exercise. It is suitable for girls who are very assiduous.
The disadvantages can also be attributed to a significant investment of time - especially in those cases when it comes to beginners. For this procedure, you can spend from 2 hours to half a day. Therefore, it is important to be patient and carry out the procedure calmly and unhurriedly.
Bundle eyelash extensions are a quicker process. It will save your time, but this option is more suitable for a festive event or a special occasion. For everyday wear, it is better to use the right-of-way. Although you will spend much more time on such a procedure, but the resulting effect is worth it, since you will get a very expressive look.
