False eyelashes give expressiveness and beautifully emphasize the eyes, adding depth. That is why today we decide to extend eyelashes not only for special occasions, but also every day. We can choose from various methods, the effect of which can be spectacularly long eyelashes perfect for great exits or the truly natural ones, perfect to highlight your attractiveness every day.
Types of false eyelashes
A magnetizing look can be obtained by eyelash extensions using various types of hair. Currently, the most popular ones include artificial mink eyelashes, silk and synthetic eyelashes. How to choose them? Which are perfect for you? Check it out yourself.
If you focus on naturalness, and you do not want to overload your natural eyelashes too much, choose the silk ones. They are made of natural silk proteins. They have a slight curl, give the effect of gentle curling, closest to natural eyelashes. Using this type of eyelashes, you do not have to give up daily activities, such as swimming. So they are perfect for the summer.
Mink eyelashes are made of Siberian mink fur. They give a natural effect, are slightly more curled than silk ones. They also do not burden natural eyelashes. Mink eyelashes are more expensive and may also cause allergies. Their opponents are ladies who deny wearing natural fur. Some women also confirm that the mink eyelashes are adversely affected by weather conditions. At variable temperatures, eyelash extensions 1: 1 may not look effective because it happens that such eyelashes straighten significantly.
You can also choose synthetic eyelashes. Their price is similar to silk. However, they do not look so natural. They are shinier, suitable primarily for women who want to strongly emphasize the eye and count on a spectacular effect. It is worth adding, however, that synthetic eyelashes are the most resistant to all adverse factors. Ladies whose natural eyelashes are thin and weak should not opt for them, because their extension with synthetic eyelashes will weigh them even more.
Eyelash extensions – the most commonly used techniques
If you care about the natural effect, choose eyelash extensions 1: 1. This method involves gluing one artificial eyelash to one natural eyelash. Such treatment does not burden the eyelashes, but thickens them nicely. Another method is 2: 1, which involves gluing two artificial eyelashes to one natural eyelash. The effect is then even more pronounced. In order not to burden the natural eyelashes, the most common are mink eyelashes, which are the lightest. A 3: 1 method is also available, which involves gluing three artificial eyelashes to one natural eyelash. And in this case, mink eyelashes are usually used. The so-called volumetric method, which involves sticking tufts of artificial eyelashes. Most often they are silk or mink eyelashes, because they are light, thin and give the most natural effect.
However, if for some reason you are not convinced to the procedure of extension, and you want to take care of your natural eyelashes, which are now thin, straight and not very long, you can also opt for laminating eyelashes. It is a keratin eyelash lift that nourishes, darkens, thickens and curls. The treatment is enough for a maximum of two months, it does not burden the eyelashes. For this you can paint them, use the pool, sauna and carry out any other current activity.
What effect can you count on?
Depending on the chosen method of eyelash extension and the type of eyelashes themselves, the final effect will be different. You can count on natural thickening of eyelashes or long eyelashes with spectacular curling. Remember that regardless of the technique chosen, the eyelash extension procedure should be repeated on average every 3 weeks. You have to spend 1.5 to 3 hours on it each time. The price for replenishment (every 3 weeks) is lower than the price for the original eyelash extension. Certainly, all this is worth the results. No more everyday eyelash painting, then tedious make-up removal. No more eyelash curlers and mascara smudges. Your eyelashes will now look perfect in all conditions. This option will work not only on holidays, during which you do not want to bother with makeup. It’s also a great solution every day, when we don’t have time for everyday make-up.
