Makeup with eyelash extensions

Long curved fluffy eyelashes, of course, are the decoration of every woman. However, not everyone can boast of having them by nature. Of course, the beauty industry does not stand still and offers a huge variety of decorative cosmetics to improve their appearance, but you want to be beautiful 24 hours a day, and not just when makeup is applied to your face. It is for these purposes that the eyelash extension procedure was invented.

During the procedure, the specialist separates one eyelash and attaches a synthetic one to it, repeating its bend and direction of growth. Thus, you can increase the volume of eyelashes several times. The wear time of eyelash extensions, as a rule, is from 3 weeks to one and a half months with proper care.

Depending on the density and shape, the following types of artificial cilia are distinguished:

• Incomplete volume. With the help of extensions, only the outer corners of the eyes are decorated;
• Natural effect. The procedure is performed using a small amount of artificial hairs, so the eyelashes look as natural as possible;
• Total volume.Double increase in the number of existing cilia;
• 3D. An increase in volume by 3 times by sticking 2 or 3 synthetic ones on one eyelash;
• "Hollywood". The maximum possible increase in volume, "puppet" effect.

This procedure would not be so popular if it did not have clear advantages:

• Artificial cilia do not weigh down the eyelid, do not cause discomfort when worn;
• You can choose this type of bend and length that will help you adjust the shape of the eyes, their size and cut, visually hide overhanging eyelids;
• At your request, the master can create the effect of both the most natural and doll-like eyelashes;
• Your eyes will remain expressive 24 hours a day in any weather;

If you decide to make up with extended eyelashes, read the basic rules for doing makeup:

• Focus right. Artificial eyelashes have a much greater splendor and density than natural ones, so they willy-nilly attract the eye. Do not overload your eyes with too bright shadows, and apply lipstick or gloss in a neutral color on your lips;
• If you still want to embellish the eyes harder - draw arrows;
• Before going to bed, you need to thoroughly wash off all cosmetics, without using oil-based products. Remove mascara from artificial cilia with extreme caution, as they may fall out from too aggressive exposure.

In order for decorative makeup not to harm extended eyelashes, first of all, you need to use cosmetics that do not contain substances that dissolve the adhesive, otherwise you risk being left without eyelashes. You should also follow these guidelines:

• If you use a greasy face cream, make sure that it does not come into contact with synthetic hairs;
• Before applying cosmetics, wash the cilia, dry them and comb;
• If possible, do not use mascara;
• If you still decide to make up with mascara, apply it in one layer and do not take a waterproof product;
• You should not use eyelash curlers - as a rule, extended eyelashes are already curled enough. The tweezers may break them.

You are going to some kind of celebration, and your image requires impeccability and completeness. Well, competent makeup is a serious component of it. To maintain harmony, choose the color scheme of the outfit in accordance with your color type, which you can determine by passing a certain test. Eye makeup should resonate with both clothing and iris color. Here is how make-up artists recommend choosing a palette:

• Owners of gray eyes can use absolutely any color of shadows, since gray is considered neutral. Therefore, experiments are only welcome;
• All shades of brown are suitable for brown eyes, as well as green, blue, purple and gray;
• Blue-eyed beauties should pay attention to colors such as gold, beige, dark green and gray-blue;
• Emerald eye color is quite rare and is a natural decoration of its owner. To enhance the effect, use shadows in all shades of gray, brown, light pink and peach. You can also experiment with purple and blue.

So, you have decided on the palette of shadows and the general image. It's time to start doing makeup. Below is a detailed instruction on its correct implementation step by step:

• First of all, you need to thoroughly cleanse your face and cilia as well. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a towel. Do not rub your eyes, so as not to damage the extended hairs;
• We apply shadows on the eyelids. Gently blend, without touching the eyelashes;
• If you use liquid eyeliner, make sure that it does not get on the places where synthetic hairs are attached;
• Apply mascara in one stroke of the brush. Eyelash extensions should not be covered in several layers. Dry the mascara and gently comb the hairs with a brush;
• Tidy up your eyebrows.

It is very important to properly wash off makeup in the presence of artificial cilia. They require particularly delicate handling. The algorithm for cleansing the face from decorative cosmetics is as follows:

• Removal of cosmetics with the help of special tools;
• Washing with water;
• Skin toning;
• Use of a day or night face cream.

The make-up remover should not contain oily and greasy ingredients, as this will adversely affect the attachment of artificial hairs to the eyelashes. Micellar water works best for this. It perfectly eliminates the remnants of decorative cosmetics, does not contain any aggressive ingredients, does not cause allergic reactions and irritation of the mucous membrane, it does not need to be washed off, it does not smell and, most importantly, when removing makeup using micellar water, no effort is required to remove cosmetics, which means that the extended cilia will remain safe and sound. To remove make-up with micellar water, take a cotton pad, soak it abundantly and, gently dab the eyelashes, remove the remnants of mascara and eye shadow from them.Do not pull the skin and artificial hairs. Wipe the entire face with another cotton pad.

However, micellar water can not be found in all cosmetic stores, and it is not cheap.

In principle, if you do not put on a lot of makeup, and do not cover your cilia with mascara, you can easily wash your face with plain water. Just remember the rules for handling them: do not rub your eyes, do not use aggressive cleansers, do not put your face in the shower, dry your eyelashes thoroughly after water procedures. And then you will be able to extend the period of wearing your hair extensions as much as possible and every morning you will enjoy your reflection in the mirror.
