Eyelash extensions
Lush long eyelashes give the look of mystery and incomparability. Many girls strive in various ways to achieve this result. Someone regularly makes nourishing masks for eyelashes, someone uses super-hair. These methods are good, but the result after the masks disappears when the course of procedures is completed, and the supertouch is hardly washed off in the evenings. When the girls have tried everything, they decide to build eyelashes.
Instruments
Virtually every beauty salon provides this very popular service. To increase eyelashes come girls and women of almost all ages and with different incomes. For each is something suitable. If desired, you can increase the eyelashes at home. If you follow the instructions, it will not be difficult.
Before starting the extension at home, the girl should prepare all the necessary tools for the procedure in advance. Their list is quite extensive. First of all, you need good tweezers. It is better not to use a non-sterilized instrument. It is desirable to have several tweezers for different procedures, namely, this procedure will require two at once.
Eyelash extension tweezers are special. They have sharp ends that allow you to deftly catch the cilia one by one. You can take another set: one with straight ends to grip and glue the hairs, and the other with curved ones in order to correct their position.
The second tool for the procedure will be strips, by which the upper and lower lashes are separated. In salons use special silicone tips. At home, this can be done with a plaster. Glue, with which eyelashes will stick, need to squeeze the capacity. For this ideal plastic saucer or capron lid. This container should be such that it is not a pity to throw it away, since it can freeze the remnants of glue and clean them. Salons use jade stone instead. This choice is due to the fact that it allows the glue to not dry out for a long time.
If a girl is building herself on her own, then she cannot do without a mirror. It must necessarily be with a magnifier to see how the hairs stick.
Additional expenses
The adhesive itself for gluing the eyelashes should be selected with all seriousness. After all, he will be in contact with the skin for a long time. Cheap glue is not suitable for this, as it can cause a strong allergic reaction. Moreover, due to poor substance, serious eye health problems can occur. The choice of this glue should depend on the individual characteristics of the organism and the method of extension.
Before the procedure will have to treat the skin with a degreaser. Without it, glued eyelashes will last very short and badly stick. As a cleansing agent for the eyes, you can take almost any, suitable for a particular skin type. In the salons of the master select this tool for each client individually. This tool should not be confused with a degreaser. A cleanser will help remove dirt and makeup from the eyes, and a degreaser will remove the remnants of sebum.
In addition to the treatment of the skin around the eyes, it is necessary to clean and sanitize the skin of the hands. This will help various antibacterial agents. You can choose any: napkins, sprays, gels.The consistency is not important, the result is important: the hands should be as clean as possible before the procedure begins. Special gel patches are used in the salons. At home, you can do with cotton pads, but if the build-up will be carried out regularly, it is better not to skimp, but still get them. It is more pleasant to use and almost does not feel on the skin. Sometimes in salons special silicone tape is used. It helps in cases where there is a risk of bonding with the lower eyelashes. In addition, it protects lower lashes from damage.
Often when building is needed remuver. Other name of this means - deboner. It is required in cases where you need to remove the accumulated material. This tool is liquid or gel. With his help, you can easily remove the eyelashes from the skin from under the eyes, which fell during the extension. To sort the eyelashes, use a clean white sheet of paper. To do this, you can use a special tray, but for the procedure at home and fit blank paper. It shows every eyelash that will stick. With the help of cotton swabs and toothpicks, you can carefully remove excess drops of glue, as well as divide the glued hairs. Care must be taken not to accidentally damage the eyes.
Varieties
Material - the most important characteristic. Usually eyelashes are made from special artificial monofilament, and the names that they give are just an analogy.
Extended eyelashes differ in several characteristics, in the store, the eyes scatter when choosing! They are different in length, material, thickness, bending. Most often on the shelves you can find three types:
- Mink. The most natural eyelashes. Among their diversity one can easily find matching in color and pomp. It is they who look just like real ones, and not every person unfamiliar with a build-up can guess that these are pasted eyelashes.
- Sable. The most voluminous and bright eyelashes. They hold less than mink, but at the same time they are very durable, much stronger than natural ones. As a rule, the term of their wearing is much less than that of any others. This is due to their thickness and rigidity. Usually sable eyelashes are used to give the image of theatricality.
- Silk. With their help, you can achieve the most expressive look. Silk-made eyelashes give depth to the look. They are longer than the others and are practically not felt after they have been glued. Makeup artists believe that this type of eyelashes is something in between sable and mink eyelashes. They are good because they can be used to make absolutely any amount.
You need to choose the material of the eyelashes after the extension goals have been defined.
The fashion industry has stepped very far, and the modern girl can choose the extended eyelashes of absolutely any color. Some believe that they are only natural shades: black, brown, blond, red, light. But this is a misconception. Extended eyelashes can be blue, and green, and bright orange and even neon shades!
Of course, it is not always appropriate to use an unnatural hue in everyday life, but this color is suitable for a vacation or a long unusual event.
How to choose the length and thickness of hairs?
Girls who often make extensions know that different lengths fit different types of faces. This parameter is responsible for giving the look of naturalness, and if you choose the wrong length, then the face will look fake.
As a rule, makeup artists do not advise to build eyelashes longer than their own more than two millimeters, otherwise it will look silly and vulgar. This is especially true of girls who have a small, thin and narrow face. But those who have large facial features, you can use longer and thicker options.
Eyelashes No. 8,10 and 12 are the most frequent in use. Masters try to observe the natural growth, that is, closer to the corners of the eye cilia slightly shorter than in the center. The variety of length in stores is amazing: you can buy both miniature four-millimeter and giant, almost two centimeters eyelashes of 18 millimeters each. Eyelashes are divided by thickness. The choice depends on what effect the girl wants to achieve. The thinnest, 0.1 millimeter eyelashes are absolutely not noticeable on the eyelid. With their help, you can achieve the most natural effect. Thicker, 0.15 millimeters, give the eyelashes a look as if they were supercharged. The following thicknesses are not suitable for everyday appearance. Eyelashes 0.2 millimeters are ideal for ceremonial events, and 0.25 millimeters, although they will last very long because of the rigidity, will give the look of particular originality. With the help of thick eyelashes, you can make a very creative image that will be remembered for a long time.
Types of bends
There are only two fundamentally different ways of building: bundles and individually. The third option is a combination of the two, when bunches are glued to the corners of the eyes, and along the entire length of the growth of eyelashes - individually. This method of building gives the view a special showiness. By combining eyelashes of different lengths, thicknesses and extensions, different effects can be achieved. As a rule, makeup artists offer one of six:
- natural (looks like a natural growth of eyelashes);
- fox (thicker and long eyelashes are located in the corners of the eyes, due to which the look becomes sly and slightly slanting);
- squirrel (approximately the same as fox, only thicker and longer eyelashes are used in the corners);
- rarefied (bundles of eyelashes alternate with eyelash extensions throughout the entire eyelash growth line);
- puppet (achieved using a combination of very long and medium eyelashes, which are glued several times more than needed for natural);
- (same as puppet, but thicker lashes are used).
You can pick up eyelashes by the type of bend. Regardless of the material from which they are made, eyelashes are divided into five types of bending. Bend J - almost straight lashes. B - more noticeable and natural bend. C is a moderate degree of bend, with its help an effect of openness is achieved. Bend D is the most popular, according to the masters, girls choose this natural curve most often. Stronger C is most often used when creating a puppet effect. There are more extreme bends: DD, U, L, and L +. They are not so popular, with their help they make creative images.
