Variety of materials

With the beauty procedure, you can lengthen and thicken your curls, add expression to your eyes, and draw attention to their beauty. Its main component is the application of specialized glue to attach artificial hairs to your natural eyelashes. Micropolyester threads, a synthetic material, are used to make them. Artificial hair varies in bend and thickness. Lashing artists use terms like "mink," "silk," and "sable" to identify materials:

mink have a minimum thickness, they are light, almost weightless, the most comfortable to wear;

silk are a little thicker, but due to this they allow you to achieve a thicker, fluffier curl;

sable are the thickest and fluffiest, they create an effective frame for the eyes.

Crucial! Artificial materials are used by Lash artists. Some girls might believe that if they select "mink" or "sable," the real hairs of these animals will be adhered to them. This is untrue. Natural materials can cause allergies and other unfavorable side effects like burning, itching, and swelling of the eyelids.

Variety of techniques

There are various lash methods:

eyelash-by-eyelash – the most popular and safe, involves gluing one artificial eyelash to one natural one, looks natural, neat;

bunch – the bunch is glued to several natural eyelashes at once, the disadvantage of this method is that if one of them falls out, the weight of the entire bunch falls on the remaining ones, which accelerates the process of their loss;

tape – the hairs are connected to each other with a tape, which is glued from one corner of the eye to the other; an impractical technique, not suitable for constant wear, creates an unnatural look of false fans.

Advice: opt for the eyelash technique if you want to wear makeup for an entire evening and want to enjoy the results for a long time.

The master glues fake bunches to the lashes during the procedure, giving the curl more volume. The following kinds of eyelash extensions can be applied, depending on the client’s desired level of fluff in their curls:

half the volume – one artificial eyelash is glued to every second eyelash, suitable for owners of thick but short eyelashes;
classic – one artificial eyelash is glued to one natural eyelash;

2D – a double eyelash (V) is glued to each natural eyelash;

3D – a triple bunch is glued to each natural eyelash;

4D – extremely voluminous eyelash extensions, the bunch consists of 4 artificial eyelashes, suitable for special occasions, such as a photo shoot.

In terms of convenience, 3D eyelash extensions won’t be as comfortable as the traditional method. It is best to begin with the traditional styles if you have decided to get eyelash extensions for the first time. Images from before and after attest to the most natural outcome.

The image below illustrates the distinction between the traditional method of applying eyelash extensions and the 3D effect.

Which effect to choose?

Lashing experts also employ the term "effect," which denotes a pattern of arranging lashes of varying lengths on different parts of the eye, in addition to the notion of "volume." These are the referred to as "dolls," "squirrels," and "foxes."

It should be noted that effects can be made in both classic and 4D at any volume.

The girl’s eyelid openness, eye shape, and face shape are taken into consideration when choosing the effect. Most frequently employed:

fox effect of eyelash extensions: it allows you to visually lengthen the eyes, it is achieved by gluing the maximum-sized bunches in the outer corners of the eyes, in the photo the look really looks "sly";

"squirrel": achieved by gluing from the inner corner of the eye to the middle of the eyelashes of the same size, and starting from the middle and to the outer corners – hairs of maximum length, gradually increasing the length to the outer corner;

sparse curl: the hairs resemble rays, the effect is created by alternating different lengths;

multicolor: achieved by using hairs of bright colors;

glamorous look (doll-like): created using long and thick bunches of the same size.

A lash artist can adjust a client’s eye shape by using effects to lift the outer corners and open the eyelids. This also applies the other way around: if the color scheme is picked poorly, the appearance could be depressing or overly doll-like.

There are several varieties of eyelash extensions, each with a distinct feel and appearance that ranges from dramatic to natural. With before and after pictures to help you see the outcomes, this article examines the various materials and methods used. It also discusses crucial contraindications that you should take into account prior to obtaining extensions, so you can decide what’s best for your lashes with knowledge.

How to make the right choice?

Natural-looking eyelash extensions are made of mink. They are selected for the most natural-looking outcome when applying classic eyelash extensions. A girl should choose "sable" if she wants to project a vivid and striking image. "Silk" is the "golden mean". It will enable you to achieve an expressive look, making it the perfect choice for evening or celebratory makeup.

The question of which eyelashes work best with extensions will never have a definitive response. Everything is dependent on the outcome the girl hopes to achieve from the surgery. Pick a “mink” if all you want is to give up mascara and not have your look be too dramatic and expressive. It is worthwhile to choose "silk" or "sable" makeup for those who enjoy bright colors.

Advice: Lash artists carry two varieties of glue in their toolbox: black and transparent. To achieve the most vibrant and expressive outcome, request that the artist apply black glue. It will increase the saturation of color. Ask to use transparent glue in order to achieve a natural look.

Selecting the ideal length for the bundles is crucial. The range is 5 to 14 mm. The masters use lengths ranging from 8 to 12 mm, positioning the longest hairs at the outer corner of the eye and the shortest at the inner, to achieve the most natural-looking effect. This setup creates an eyelash extension fox effect.

Advice: Look closely at the characteristics of the various kinds of eyelash extensions that are currently available in the picture. You’ll be able to choose the best option for you more quickly this way.

The curl you choose will determine how your eyelash extensions appear. Straight hairs don’t form a nice frame around the eye and look unattractive and rough. As a result, selecting the proper hair curl is crucial. Curl B is the most natural. Curl C is the better option if you require a more coiled curl. Make use of bundles with curl CC and D for a doll-like appearance. Use curl L, in which the hair is more strongly curved at the base, to visually lift the outer corners of the eyes in order to correct their shape.

It should be noted that older women who choose to undergo cosmetic surgery shouldn’t glue curls CC and D too tightly. They will give the eyes an odd, unnatural appearance.

It is not advised to glue heavy sable and silk bundles onto thin or weak hairs. It is preferable to go with traditional 1 to 1 "mink" eyelash extensions if your curls are weak. After 2D volume, girls’ eyelashes may weaken and fall out more quickly, in addition to the 3D effect.

Advice: pick a reputable, experienced master. He’ll know what size and method works best for you.
