False eyelashes are an ideal option for girls who do not want to suffer with mascara and gel, but look irresistible is a must.

Pros and cons

Of course, the main advantage of working with false eyelashes is simplicity - if you get used to it, then sticking them will take only about 10-15 minutes a day, or even less. And this speed, coupled with quality and the ability to quickly transform the look, of course, captivates.

Another integral advantage of them is the ability to change the image in record time - eyelashes come in different types, including in shape, and it is thanks to this that simply by changing the eyelashes you can turn from a Bambi deer into a vamp woman. They transform the eyes, and, therefore, the whole face, they change the look. The choice of colors and shapes is simply huge - from the classic black "cat's eye" to feathery bright orange and blue.

Of course, false eyelashes are more accessible than extensions, and you don’t have to suffer with them as much as with mascara. The eyes do not get tired of them, the eyelids do not get heavier, and they can also be worn several times and painted over with mascara like your own.

The disadvantages of this tool are mainly related to the fact that it is rather difficult to stick them for the first time, and in the future you need to be patient, “filling your hand”.Also, in the case of low-quality materials and glue, the hairs can fall off at the most inopportune moment - therefore, it is very important to choose them correctly (often the glue that is included in the kit is completely of poor quality). And, of course, in the case of improperly selected eyelashes, glue and the inability to glue them, there is always a chance of injuring your own. However, this is solved by contacting the master.

Sleeping with false eyelashes is also not recommended, but with high-quality glue, you can try to sleep on your back or side. Swimming in the sea or pool with them is questionable - unless you are confident in the glue and the quality of the cilia and are not going to dive headlong into the water (in this case, they can simply swim away).

Yes, many disadvantages are associated with the fact that the materials can simply be of poor quality, made from an allergic material for you personally. The consequences in this case are swelling, loss of eyelashes, allergies, discomfort. Also, you can not use false eyelashes for girls who often suffer from blepharitis and conjunctivitis.

Kinds

False eyelashes are primarily divided by shape. There are three kinds.

  1. Single disposable. Create the most natural effect, as each eyelash is glued separately. However, they are professional, and gluing them is the most difficult and longest and almost impossible at home.
  2. Beams make the look more expressive, and small eyes - more. The difficulty in using them lies in the fact that for gluing you need to know certain points, the positions at which they look most advantageous. For example, glued all over the upper eyelid, they can look unnatural and even funny. They are also further divided into nodular and nodular (for example, transparent "corners").
  3. Tape. The simplest and most common, as they are sold in cosmetic stores and you can wear them yourself. They can look both natural (in the case of a transparent fastening tape) and not very (with black or some other color). They are divided according to the shape and size of the eyelashes, the most common are round with long eyelashes in the center and shorter at the edges for a wide open look and elongated at the temple, creating the so-called cat look due to the eyelashes elongated to the outer edge.

Eyelashes are also divided by material - they can be both artificial (more wear-resistant) and natural (more natural, made from mink, horse or human hair, silk). But Paperself has paper eyelashes at all. Recently, a novelty has appeared on the market - magnetic self-adhesive eyelashes. These are bundles of eyelashes that are attached like magnets to the lower and upper eyelids in one movement and are also easily removed.

False eyelashes can be either classic black or brown, or colored, which are often used by models at various shows, but can also be suitable for ordinary girls for photo shoots or themed events such as Halloween. Classic Japanese eyelashes are highly valued, which enlarge the eyes in their outer corners. But the effect is created quite bright, as they are designed for the Asian section of the eyes.

Fixing tools

Of course, you can’t just stick eyelashes on like that. You should definitely purchase a special glue - sometimes it is sold with a set, but often it does not differ in quality and lasts for a terribly short time.We advise you to buy professional glue, since it depends on it how long the eyelashes will last and whether they will come off at the most inopportune moment. Get the same brand of glue as your lashes. Or you can pay attention to the pharmacy glue BF-6. It is medical and absolutely not harmful to the eyes.

You may also need tweezers - this is if it is inconvenient for you to take the bunches with your fingers and stick them on the eyelid with them. Pay attention to the tweezers from Ellis cosmetic.

In no case do not use Moment transparent glue or any other household glue - your eyelashes and sensitive facial skin will not thank you for this.

Tips for choosing the shape, size and length

In general, when choosing eyelashes, you should consider where you will go with them and what kind of makeup you will do. For an evening festive event, a wedding or a birthday, it is best to choose eyelashes that are brighter and more magnificent. For photo shoots, look for colored or feather lashes. The entire make-up for any photo should be many times brighter and more noticeable than the usual everyday one. For a party, long, thick black eyelashes are ideal, they should be voluminous.

It is also very important to choose a product for the shape of the eye - incorrectly selected, it will look comical and can give the face a surprised or childish look. So, for almond-shaped and round eyes, it is better to choose eyelashes elongated to the temples or eyelashes, the bend of which is close to natural, for small or deep-set ones, long and medium eyelashes (important if you do not want a puppet effect, so that they are exactly different sizes in the beam or tape).For wide-set eyes, the cilia in the middle part of the eyelid and in the outer corner should be approximately the same length, for narrow-set eyes, the longest should be on the outer corner, in the middle of medium length, and short in the inner corner.

If you are a beginner, then you better pay attention to tape eyelashes first - they are easier to glue, fix and they do not crumble, and they are also cheaper than bundle ones.

How to make a puppet effect on the eyes?

If you want eyes like a Barbie doll, you need to get tuft or ribbon lashes of the same length. They must be thick, have a natural sheen and not shed. You can pay attention to L'Etoile "Faux-Cils" No. 102, Irisk, Essence "fancy lashes" and in general to any round tape eyelashes.

How to apply at home?

It is best to choose bundles or ribbons for home use, since only a qualified craftsman in the salon will do well for single ones. Pay special attention to the tapes.

So, first of all, you should purchase glue for eyelashes, it is best for a beginner - transparent on a latex-free basis, as it leaves no residue and is not allergic.

  1. Open the package and try the eyelashes on the cut of the eyes - take a look, where would you like to remove, which side is more convenient for you to sculpt - the tape should lie so that the short hairs are at the inner corner of the eye. You may have to cut them a little with nail scissors.
  2. For better adhesion, circle the lash line with a pencil. Next, take a clean eyeshadow brush and apply glue to the edge of the tape with it, wait thirty seconds - the glue should become sticky.
  3. The most important thing is bonding.. You can take the eyelashes with your fingers or tweezers and, covering your eyes, glue them to the lash line, starting from the outer corner and gradually moving towards the inner one. Adjust the position of the lashes as you like until they are fixed.
  4. Now take a cotton swab and cut off the cotton part. Swipe it like a comb or mascara over your lashes, applying pressure, gluing your lashes to your false lashes. Instead of a cotton swab, you can use mascara - it will also hold the hairs together and make native and artificial ones more similar to each other.

Important! When using eyelashes on a colored, black ribbon, it is better to finish the image with arrows, because otherwise the ribbon will be visible.

How to take it off with your own hands?

How easily the eyelashes are removed depends on the glue - usually it is very soft and silicone, it does not injure native eyelashes and eyelid skin. You just need to pull the outer corner of the false eyelashes and gently remove them. The procedure is painless, safe and very simple.

The second option is to put a drop of any base or hydrophilic oil on the junction of the eyelashes with the eyelid, blot a little with your finger and remove. And you can just wash yourself, but this option often entails injury to eyelashes - both your own and false ones.

Eyelashes dry very quickly, within half an hour, and many of them can be used several times.

How to care?

The first thing you should do after purchasing false eyelashes is to mix up the storage solution. You can buy it, but making it yourself is not difficult and will save you money. Take shampoo, liquid soap and water, the first - five grams each, fifty water. Stir the ingredients until smooth, pour into a convenient container.Now, after each use of the eyelashes, they will need to be transferred to this solution for twenty to thirty seconds. After pulling out and thoroughly cleaning from the remnants of glue, the solution itself and cosmetics. Rinse them under a gentle stream of warm running water and leave to dry between paper towels - never on napkins.

Sleeping with false eyelashes is not forbidden, but it is better not to leave them in front of your eyes at night. Remember also that trimming your lashes will not harm their quality, but it is better not to overdo it to maintain a beautiful appearance.

Reviews

Ardell Fashion Lashes customers rate very well - their rating is 4.7. I am very pleased with the reusable container, which can also be used not only for storing eyelashes, but also for cleaning them. The kit also includes a pipette with glue, and information on the manufacturer, and instructions. The eyelashes themselves are bundles of hairs of different lengths, but the shape of the tape is round - that is, the bundles on the eyelid will look the same, but it is precisely because of the different lengths that the very effect of volume and expressive bend is achieved. They are not prickly, do not irritate and do not weigh down the eyelids and do not fall off, they are dense enough, they do not break.

Products L'Etoile "Faux-Cils" looks more than natural, really looks like your own hairs and is suitable even for everyday outings. Girls really appreciate this particular company and its average rating is 4.3. They will ideally fit into the dark "smoky", the girls post a lot of photos of just such a make-up with them. Of the minuses, the hairs are tangled - but this is easy to solve by combing them before and after use. They do not feel like a foreign object in front of the eyes, they do not weigh down, the eyes do not hurt with them and the eyelashes are generally of very good quality - it is really possible to wear them all day. And the assortment is also captivating - at L'Etoile you can find both doll eyelashes, and for a cat's look, as well as the most ordinary rounded ones.

Although Essence "fancy lashes" has a rating of only 4.2, customers speak very well of the eyelashes of this company. First of all, it should be said that this accessory is only for festive events - they are not suitable for everyday work. They are very gentle on the sensitive skin of the eyelids, do not pull and do not weigh down, moreover, do not injure native hairs. They are practical, dense, long and thick, and they can also be used several times. Of course, they need to be corrected with nail scissors - but for any false tape eyelashes, this is normal, because the cut and shape of the eye are not the same for everyone.

Glue Duo Adhesive has overwhelmingly positive reviews and a rating of 4.2. It is designed specifically for lash tufts, as often the glue for them is different from the glue for tapes. The first thing that can confuse you when using it is white glue. But don't worry, after 20-30 seconds it becomes transparent and very sticky. It tightly fastens the bundles to the eyelids, while not weighing them down and not creating the effect of frozen eyes - the cilia move along with the eyelids. And the glue is waterproof, so it's not so easy to remove the eyelashes from the eyes, they will not fall off due to rain, snow or tears and will survive in the pool or at the sea. The price/quality ratio is perfect.
