If you don’t have lashes fake them!

This is the new beauty motto which was imposed by Hollywood stars like Eva Longoria and Jeniffer Lopez.

Just imagine – eyelashes, long 13 mm! They just scratch the sunglasses. This is the longest possible amount if you decide to extend them by the new eyelash extensions technique – lash by lash.  However, we should alert you – the procedure is labour intensive and takes nearly 2 hours.

The first step is a careful analysis of your own lashes by extension specialist. Then the eyelid is “degreased” with special tonic. After that the false eyelashes are applied lash by lash, adhered with surgical glue that dries in seconds. Interestingly, it is not placed at the base of your own eyelashes but 2 mm from them. The extensionist works with tweezers. In addition to exceptional accuracy and patience (the number of lashes set can reach 60 for one eyelid), the application requires creativity, imagination and – sometimes requires the combination of 3 sizes eyelashes – shorter in the inner corner of eye and longer to the outside. This avoids “doll” look, i.e. equal length lashes. Lengthened lashes in no way differ from the natural ones and are absolutely harmless, unless you pull them out or rub your eyes. Once extended eyelashes need maintenance. The reason is that your own growing lashes push the false ones. Home maintenance requires a special “sealing” and mascara (make your eyelashes bright and vivid).  There is no problem with the rest of the eye make-up.

What is the difference between synthetic lashes and real lashes?

There are two types of lashes according to the way they’re acquired. The synthetic lashes are made of polymers which give the lashes flexibility, thickness and natural look. Their main purpose is to imitate real mink lashes, obtained by a mink fur. Compared to the real mink lashes, synthetic lashes are preferred because of the easy application. It is harder to attach the real mink lashes with water based glue (which is preferred), compared to the synthetic ones. Also the real mink lashes are a little bit thin and doesn’t give that obsessive look.

Tips for thick eyelashes

We’ll give you some tips on how to apply mascara and other tips, plus how to use eyelash curlers.

1. The most popular method to get thick eyelashes is the eyelash curler. Remember that you can not twist your eyelashes in no case after application of mascara. Otherwise you could do one of these two things – spoil the mascara or tear out your lashes. Either way this isn’t good! The best way to use this kind of twisting is to twist the lashes as close to the eyelid line, squeeze with all of your strength and count to five slowly. The eyelash curler must move slightly toward the tip of your eyelashes. Depending on the length of your lashes, do this a few times while you all rolled out. Most people can do this 2-3 times. For better look use the heated eyelash curler – no squeezing needed.

2. Apply a black shadow at the lash line, it will create the illusion of thicker lashes.

3. For thicker lashes hold the mascara brush in a horizontal position and apply the ink by starting from the base of the eyelashes with light zig-zag movements from the lash line to the top of the eyelashes.

4. For longer lashes. Hold the brush vertically, add mascara from this position of the brush from the base to the tip of the eyelashes. Seems a bit strange, but try and see it works.

5. Comb lashes. In many cheap kits there are plastic brushes for eyelash combing. Do yourself a favour and discard it. Walk to the store and find a metal comb for eyelashes. It will fix any problems that may cause the filament, such as clumping of the eyelashes.

6. Eyelash curling again. For this procedure, you need great eyelash curler. Eyelash curlers must be on batteries and must be heating. These appliances are great! After this procedure you will your eyelashes will look fantastic and there won’t be another like you!

was used for the first time, to be discarded after a certain time.

Experts advise avoiding testers in stores which are also “vivarium” of bacteria.

It is better to use a cotton swab, but it must not be forgotten t
hat harmful microorganisms can be transmitted to the eyes through it also.
