Remember Sarah Manzani, the makeup artist of the movie Evita, who claimed that the only thing that the extra volume would never be prevented from is your eyelashes? She just forgot to add that in addition to the mascara, there is another means tested by Hollywood stars - false eyelashes.
False eyelashes become an accessory number 1 of stars on the Red Carpet. Show-off, shiny, fluffy, with tassels at the ends - they add style, extravagance and mystery to the look. But not many people know that today this accessory is becoming more and more everyday, natural, natural. False eyelashes are becoming popular, because these are the ideal eyelashes: long, clearly separated, thick, which every woman would like to possess. And you can use them for any occasion.
So, on the way to perfection:
1. Make-up
Perform eye makeup consistently: eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner. If your eyelashes are very straight, bend them with eyelash tweezers. false eyelashes often have a curved shape.
The technique of gluing (applying) artificial eyelashes depends on their type. Separate cilia or a bundle of 3-4 cilia superimpose on the upper eyelid, starting from the outer corner. You can limit a few "arrows", and you can evenly place them along the entire line of eyelashes. To do this, drip a special glue on the outside of the palm (where we usually test the color of the lipstick) and gently lower the base of the eyelash or beam ("postiche") into it. For continuous false eyelashes, the glue is evenly applied to the base itself with a few drops. Be careful when applying glue; it can get into your eyes and cause irritation.
3. Overlapping
To impose artificial eyelashes it is possible by means of tweezers for an epilation, special tweezers for eyelashes or simply pressing a finger.
Separate cilia or a bundle of eyelashes are applied to the outer side of the corner of the eyes, as close to the line of natural eyelashes, and pressed with your finger for a few seconds. The operation can be repeated, but leave a minimum of a millimeter between the cilia, then they will look most spectacular. More customary false eyelashes, after applying a few drops of glue, are pressed over the main eyelashes first in the middle of the upper eyelid, then they are smoothed out to the sides of the outer and inner corners of the eyes. If the tape of false eyelashes is longer than you need, boldly cut it with a manicure scissors.
After the false eyelashes find their place, wait a few moments, blink to make sure that nothing hinders you. Then paint the second layer of mascara with natural and artificial eyelashes together, well staining at the base. You can use any mascara, but it will most likely be mascara with a twisting effect. Do not use the contrasting color of the carcass against false eyelashes! If the eyelashes are black, it is useless to paint them with purple ink. But purple or blue eyelashes can be painted over with black ink for one evening, which will then be washed.
Secrets of Excellence
- Before use, "warm up" your false eyelashes in the palms, for example, wrapping around the index finger and covering the palm of the other hand. This will allow them to become more flexible, elastic, it is better to repeat the contour of your eye when applying, and bend, corresponding to the shape of your eyelids.
- If you want to shorten the band of artificial eyelashes, attach first to the eye, starting from the outer corner, and gently trim the manicure scissors from the inside, since the cilia are always fluffier and longer at the outer corner of the eye.
- Before going to bed, start the procedure of washing with the removal of false eyelashes, and only then remove the makeup. Wash eyelashes with water without using soap, or if you used waterproof mascara, with PH-neutral soap. This will allow you to use them up to 5 times.
- In order to achieve a natural effect with short natural lashes, buy a set for the lower eyelid - they are shorter than the upper eyelashes and more curved.
- False eyelashes give us a chic, sophisticated look and thus oblige to use intensive liner for painting the line between natural and artificial eyelashes. But the eyeliner, like eyelashes, can be gray, brown, blue, which makes the image more natural and daytime. And when using ultralight eyelashes "Patrinal Flare" from M.A.S. you can completely abandon the liner. Also, your image will make the Eyelach adhesive eyelash glue from Make Up For Ever more transparent, which when hardens becomes black and does not get wet if you swim in the pool or at sea under moonlight.
To do this, we do not use a tape familiar to us with cilia or even a bundle of eyelashes, but special synthetic fibers very similar to natural eyelashes, which one by one adhere to the roots of the eyelashes and do not much exceed their natural length (they are neither cosmically long nor extra bent like that of Bambi, as this will increase their fragility). Such "extensions" gradually fall along with the natural, so the term of their "life" is about 3 weeks, after which a correction is necessary. The price of such a service in Paris varies from 195 to 295 euros (from 55 to 80 euros per correction session) and depends on the number of fibers used (between 40 and 120 "cilia" per eye).
