How to apply and remove false eyelashes
Expressive eyes are able to decorate any appearance. Long and thick eyelashes are the dream of every girl, because they can make the look more open and beautiful. But nature has not awarded all women with such cilia, so they often use overheads. In this regard, the question arises of how to use them independently.
Adhesive selection
Almost all false eyelashes that are sold in stores come with a special glue, with which you can easily decorate your eyes with them. But usually the adhesives that are applied to such eyelashes are not of high quality and do not belong to professional products. It is best to purchase such glue separately for this, and it should belong to the line of professional tools. It can be bought at a specialized store.
Glue for false eyelashes is black and transparent. It is better to buy a black remedy for those who stick eyelashes for the first time and are not afraid to miss. After all, they can stain your eyelids, such spots will be very noticeable and can ruin your makeup. But on the other hand, black glue fills the space between the eyelashes and makes the look more expressive. It is considered to be a tool that is intended for professionals, so it has a high-quality composition and perfectly holds eyelashes on the eyelids.
Also, glue must be purchased depending on what kind of false eyelashes you have. There are two types of such funds: for bundles and for tape eyelashes. These are two completely different products that differ both in their texture and in all significant properties. The products that are designed for sticking lashes are much thicker, they are very sticky, which allows you to quickly stick the lash tuft without accidentally brushing it off. That is, in this way you place the beam exactly where you need it and it will not slip. In addition, tuft glue dries much faster and is designed to act instantly to keep tufts from falling off.
False lash glue, which is designed to be placed on the eyelids with a whole range of lashes, has a slightly different texture. It is more liquid and dries more slowly, after applying it, the strip with eyelashes can be moved, and having found the most suitable place, you need to press it and wait a bit. Such glue should be used more carefully and in small quantities.
It is also important to consider that this tool should consist only of high-quality components, because in some women glue for false eyelashes can cause allergies.
Therefore, be sure to familiarize yourself with its composition before purchasing such a tool. It's better if you buy glue that says it's for in-salon lash extensions. This is another guarantee that this is a high-quality and professional tool that will be completely safe.
Typically, these adhesives include latex, which provides a very strong fixation, as well as resins, which are responsible for the density and stickiness.Some professional products come with a brush, as it is much easier to apply glue to the hairs or strips with them. In addition, it is very easy to distribute glue and remove excess.
How to glue: step by step instructions
The technique for applying false eyelashes differs depending on which particular eyelashes you are going to use. There are a large number of types of such eyelashes. There are bundled or otherwise individual cilia, which are a group of several hairs, and many such bundles are applied to one eye. This is the most natural kind of false eyelashes, because you glue them between your own hairs. With the help of such cilia, you can create volume, as well as get the effect of natural makeup.
There is one feature of gluing beam cilia. All classic versions of false eyelashes are applied above the native hairs, and these are applied precisely to the roots. That is, they must be glued to the place where your native hairs grow from or in the gaps between them. The advantage of such false eyelashes is that it is possible to choose their length and adjust the density.
The next most popular variety is tape false eyelashes. They are very easy to use, so they are usually purchased by girls who want to do false cilia for the first time. As a rule, these are self-adhesive strips to which hairs are already attached. The strip is quite soft and has the shape of an arc, it is very convenient to stick it on the eyelids. They are superimposed over native cilia, you can also adjust their location on the eyelids. There are also false eyelashes for half the century. They look more natural than tape.With their help, you can change the look by lifting the corners of the eyes and changing their shape.
Makeup artists call this sticking technique the creation of a “fox look”. This is a very flirty interesting option that is suitable for extravagant beauties. This option also has the form of a tape. Such eyelashes are glued to that part of the eyelid that starts from the middle and ends at the outer corner of the eye, and each eyelash is longer than the previous one, the increase goes from the middle of the eye to the edge.
There are also disposable eyelashes that are designed to be stuck on once and thrown away after the first use, usually these are self-adhesive tapes that do not need to be applied with glue.
Reusable false cilia can be both tape and beam. Usually they are applied with glue, and then carefully removed with a special tool, and such hairs are more durable and reliable, so they can be used more than once. By carefully removing your lashes, you can save them until the next appropriate occasion. They can be used for quite a long time, their durability will depend on the regularity of their use.
A lot of girls are wondering how to stick false eyelashes without special glue. Very easy-to-use self-adhesive eyelashes will come to their aid, which can be glued by removing the adhesive tape from them and thus sticking the entire strip with its sticky part on the eyelids. This is a very simple option. More difficult is gluing cilia with glue. Before proceeding to this process, you must first make a make-up. If you plan to apply shadow or eyeliner, you need to do this before sticking artificial hairs.It's also best if you cover your lashes with mascara that matches the color of the extensions so that they blend in and don't stand out. This will create a more natural effect.
After that, you need to bring artificial eyelashes to your eyes if you are going to use the tape option. After attaching them, you should determine whether you should shorten the length of the tape. Also, if they are too thick for you, you can also reduce the length of the artificial cilia a little. Next, gluing the tape false eyelashes is as follows: you should heat the false eyelashes a little, supporting them between your palms, and then you need to wrap both tapes around your fingers so that they become softer and more flexible.
After that, you can proceed to the application of glue. All experts point out that glue should not be applied to the eyelids. It must be pointwise distributed on the beams or on the entire tape, but in no case should you touch their eyes. Glue can be applied with a special cosmetic stick, but you can replace it with a toothpick. A lot of people use glue with a brush for this, because this way you can simplify this process.
After you have applied the glue to the artificial hairs, you need to wait about half a minute for it to thicken and set. Then, after this time, you need to carefully glue the entire tape, starting from the outer corner of the eye, and then you need to gently press it with your fingers for about half a minute. This is necessary so that they stick more securely. Moreover, it is important that you first apply artificial cilia to the upper eyelid, after which you can proceed to sticking eyelashes to the lower eyelid.
Since the glue has not fully set, you should try to move the line with false eyelashes as close as possible to the growth line of natural hairs. If you feel like you haven't applied your lashes too evenly or close enough, you can use eyeliner to gently line them up. So you can smooth out all the imperfections and create the effect of a more open look.
It is much more difficult to stick beam eyelashes. All experts point out that it is very difficult to do this at home. You need to stick them either on your hairs as close as possible to their roots, or between them, while you need to start from the upper eyelid, or rather, from its outer edge. You need to stick them carefully, slowly, one bunch at a time. And usually tuft hairs are not glued to the inside of the eye. This is necessary in order to create the effect of natural makeup. In most cases, they are also not glued to the lower eyelid. An important rule to consider when applying lashes on the eyelids is that the distance between each lash should be approximately 1 mm. This is important in order to create the effect of high-quality and luxurious eye makeup.
How to decorate yourself?
If you are going to a party or some kind of solemn event, then you can diversify your makeup very interestingly by decorating false eyelashes. So, you can decorate them with rhinestones by sticking such pebbles directly on false eyelashes. It is important to proceed to the process of decorating artificial hairs only after the makeup is completely completed and the eyelashes are glued on and the glue has dried. Then straziks can be applied to already dry eyelashes.Glue should not be applied to the eyelashes themselves, it is pointwise distributed over each element. It is better to use a thin wooden stick or a toothpick for this. After that, each strazik can be neatly laid along the eyelid.
For gluing rhinestones, it is best to use transparent glue, because it will be less noticeable. Also try to apply a moderate amount of adhesive so that it does not spread out after you attach the pebble to the hairs. The decor can be arranged in one or two rows, and the latter option is relevant if you apply them only to the outer corner of the eye. But some women put rhinestones on their eyelashes along the entire eyelid, as if making a straight line out of them. But you can only stick a couple of pebbles on the upper eyelashes from the outer corner of the eye, adding a little charm to the look.
A more solemn option, which is suitable, for example, for a theme party or a masquerade, is to stick a small amount of rhinestones on both the eyelashes and the eyelids. Also, false eyelashes are decorated with broths. They are very small shiny beads that come in a wide variety of sizes. Usually they are used together with rhinestones, but they can also act as an independent decoration for your eyes and eyelashes. The most common option for decorating eyes with broths and rhinestones is to lay them out, starting from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one, increasing their size. This is a very beautiful option that can radically change and transform your makeup.
Removal at home
In order to independently remove false eyelashes at home, you can use a variety of means.This question is especially relevant for those who use reusable eyelashes, because it is very important to carefully remove them from the eyes without damaging the artificial hairs. If a non-super-resistant mega-fix adhesive was used for gluing, you can gently pull each tuft up, separating it from the eyelid without using any means. If you used tape eyelashes, then you need to gently pull them up, starting from the inside of the eyelid to the outside.
Another option for removing artificial eyelashes is the use of vegetable oils. Such products are very gentle, because the oil is not able to cause allergies even on the sensitive skin of the eyelids. In order to remove artificial hairs in this way, it is necessary to apply the product with a cotton pad to the place where they were glued for a couple of minutes, hold it for a while, and then carefully detach the hairs from the eyelids. This method is also suitable if you did not use super resistant glue.
Some women remove eyelashes in a simple way: they simply wash themselves with soap, rubbing their eyes a little in circular motions. But this is not the safest way, because this way the eyelashes can get into the eyes, creating discomfort, besides, the glue can also cause irritation if it gets on the cornea. That is why it is best to use special tools to remove false eyelashes. They are sold in cosmetic stores, like all professional cosmetics.
The great advantage of a specialized tool is that it not only peels off false eyelashes, but also completely dissolves all adhesives that may remain between native cilia or on the eyelids.This tool is available in a bottle with a narrow neck, so it is very convenient to apply it to the eyelids and eyelashes with a cotton swab.
The stick must be dipped in this liquid and gently distributed over the hairs, and it is better if you do not let it fall into the eyes, otherwise they will pinch. After applying this product, you must wait one minute, during which time the adhesive will begin to dissolve. After that, you can wash your eyes with plain water, removing all the main makeup.
It is very important to use an adhesive thinner for false eyelashes, as it can protect the reusable artificial hairs and ensure their durability. So they will not deteriorate and you can stick them many more times.
