How to use false eyelashes: tips

Every girl wants to have fluffy and long eyelashes. And at the same time healthy! However, not everyone has been given a look by Mother Nature that can attract the attention of the opposite sex! In pursuit of beauty, young ladies resort to various procedures, such as eyelash extensions. Is it possible to avoid this kind of mechanical impact on eyelashes? The answer is yes. False eyelashes will help with this. This article will tell you how to use false eyelashes and choose the right ones for any occasion.

Shapes and types of false eyelashes

In the modern beauty industry, there are countless brands that produce false eyelashes. Some of the best are Tatti Lashes, Lilly Lashes, House of Lashes and some others. Eyelashes differ in material, length, shape. However, when it comes to the types of false eyelashes, they can be divided into three:

bunches;
ribbons;
and a new third type, which will be discussed later.

Buns are used to create a more natural look. They are a kind of brushes that consist of several eyelashes. How to use false eyelashes? They are glued pointwise to those places where they want to create the greatest volume (most often in the corners of the eyes). The procedure for applying eyelashes will be described below.

Ribbons are slightly different from bundles. Essentially, these are bundles already glued onto a thin strip, which, in turn, needs to be glued to the eyelid. Unlike bunches, there are many varieties of this type of false eyelashes: natural, with rhinestones, with feathers, etc.

What do you need to know before applying eyelashes?

Many girls who are seriously interested in the topic of false eyelashes have a question: what is more harmless - extensions or glued ones?

Do not forget that eyelash extensions are a mechanical intervention, which, if the mandatory rules are not followed, can lead to unpleasant consequences: infection or pathogenic bacteria, an allergic reaction, etc.

Allergies can also occur when gluing eyelashes, since glue is used in this procedure. It is very important to read the instructions for the adhesive bases, checking whether there are any allergies to the substance or other substances included in the composition. Never skimp on glue, because everyone knows the saying: “The miser pays twice!”

Get your tools ready

Before you understand how to use false eyelashes, you need to prepare the necessary tools, as with any procedure. It is recommended not to skip this step to make the process of applying false eyelashes more effective. So, you need to prepare:

false eyelashes;
tweezers;
scissors;
cotton pad or cotton swab;
warm water;
liquid for removing waterproof makeup.

After you have prepared all the necessary materials, it’s time to learn how to use false eyelashes at home.

Gluing false eyelashes

Before you begin directly gluing eyelashes, you need to correctly determine the size. What does it mean?

Apply the eyelashes to the eyelid using tweezers.
Most likely, they will be longer than the cut of the eyes, therefore, aligning the beginning of the false eyelashes with the beginning of the growth of your own in the inner corner of the eye, holding them with your fingers, grab the false eyelashes with tweezers in the outer corner where you need to trim them.
Carefully trim the eyelashes with nail scissors.

Now that you've finally prepared everything you need, it's time to learn how to properly use false eyelashes:

Before gluing your eyelashes, apply makeup, with the exception of mascara.
Curl your own eyelashes using a curler (you can skip this step if your eyelashes naturally have a beautiful curve).
Holding it with tweezers, apply a little glue to the eyelash strip (or to the bun). This can be done with a thin brush or cotton swab.
Let the glue dry (set) a little. Wait 15-20 seconds.
Glue the eyelashes as close to your own growth as possible, starting from the outer corner of the eye. Take your time, be careful.
Tint your eyelashes (if desired) and adjust your eyeliner.

After you have glued the eyelashes, make sure they are securely fixed - blink quickly and often. Well, that's all, now you are the owner of luxurious eyelashes.

How to remove false eyelashes?

Experts do not advise resorting to the use of false eyelashes very often, since the substances included in the glue have a detrimental effect on the condition of your eyelashes (and here false eyelashes have an advantage over extensions - they can be removed at any time).

Now that you've learned how to use false eyelashes, it's time to figure out how to remove them correctly.

Under no circumstances try to pull your eyelashes off your eyelids - you will only damage the skin. Everything needs to be done very calmly and smoothly:

First, wet a cotton pad with warm water and apply it to your eyelids - make a kind of compress for a couple of minutes.
Then apply waterproof makeup remover to a cotton swab and slowly, without pressing, move it along the lash line.
Now grab the tip of the false eyelashes and gently pull them. Ready!

Nobody canceled leaving!

It is worth remembering that after you have removed false eyelashes, it is necessary to carry out all procedures for caring for the skin around the eyes. If you are not used to doing them, here are some recommendations:

Run a cotton pad soaked in warm water over your eyelids to remove any remaining adhesive.
Lubricate the skin around the eyes with a special cream.
Apply strengthening oil to your eyelashes.

What is the third type of false eyelashes?!

If you remember, at the beginning of the article a mysterious new type of false eyelashes was mentioned. These are magnetic eyelashes that have become widespread and very popular in 2017.

Typically, a set for one eye includes three small ribbons with long eyelashes and three with short ones, which allows, as in the case of bunches, to vary the number of false eyelashes. These are so-called false eyelashes with three magnets. How to use?

Place long eyelashes on top of yours and short ones underneath. And voila! A beautiful cat look is guaranteed!

The undoubted advantages of this type of eyelashes are absolute hypoallergenicity (no need to use eyelash glue) and a more natural look. However, practice shows that magnetic eyelashes are much more difficult to use than conventional false eyelashes.

But now you know that there is a new type of false eyelashes and you know how to use magnetic false eyelashes.
