No matter how gorgeous eyelashes nature has endowed the girl, she will still strive to improve them. However, not everyone is ready to apply radical methods, such as building or lamination. Then the pads come to the rescue. Many people care about how long false eyelashes last. It depends on a number of aspects, which will be discussed in the article.
Types and differences
Before buying, you must determine their purpose. If the native cilia are very short, then the overheads will be of medium length for everyday wear. And if the pads are needed for any special moments, such as holidays or parties, you can choose more voluminous and thicker.
The materials from which artificial eyelashes are made are divided into three types.
- Synthetic components. Durable, but the hairs are quite dense. The main plus is their low price, but this does not mean that quality suffers.
- Silk threads. They look amazing - shine and shimmer in the sun. Highlighted by the softness of the fiber, but at the same time, lightness and strength.
- Natural pile. Commonly used are sable or mink fur. Quite an expensive option, but their appearance is worth it. They look like thick eyelashes, while maximally natural. They are used to create evening and holiday images.
The appearance of the model of false eyelashes also differ. There are tape and bundle, the latter, in turn, are nodular and knotless. Regardless of their variety, their purpose is the same - to make the look more expressive. For parties and carnivals, there are decorative cilia.They can be of various colors, inlaid with rhinestones or supplemented with bright inserts in the form of feathers.
Regarding fastening - in the set with eyelashes there is always a special glue that reliably holds the structure for a certain time.
A separate type of pads - with magnetic clips - is also a convenient option. It is a real find for those who are allergic to the adhesive or its components.
What affects sock time?
Various factors influence the term of wearing false eyelashes, sometimes even independent of us. It is important to follow the rules for their use. The correct fastening process includes the following procedures:
- washing and removing cosmetics;
- degreasing of the skin of the eyelids;
- determination of the area of fixation of accessories;
- try on every detail, if necessary, remove the excess with scissors;
- curl with special tweezers;
- holding the tape with tweezers, apply glue, withstand the time specified in the instructions;
- glue eyelashes on the edge of the eyelid, tightly pressing a strip along the entire length with tweezers with stroking movements;
- with a stack needle, once again walk along the entire length of the tape, pressing every millimeter to the eyelid between the cilia;
- close your eyes for a few minutes, letting the glue stick.
Usually, false eyelashes last up to 20 hours on the glue, which the manufacturer recommends. However, in specialized salons or in online stores, you can purchase an adhesive of a stronger fixation. Of course, there is a risk of allergic reactions, but the use of native glue does not give any guarantees. Humidity is the number one enemy for false eyelashes. Even with full compliance with all recommendations, a few drops of moisture can nullify all efforts. In extreme heat or frost, the adhesive can also behave unpredictably. You should also try as little as possible to touch the eyes with your hands, since any mechanical stress can lead to the peeling of accessories.
Skin type is of utmost importance. The glued eyelashes last much longer on dry and normal skin of the eyelids. Oily skin significantly reduces wearing time. It happens that the strength of the glue is only enough for a couple of hours.
If necessary and much desired, false eyelashes can be worn for up to two days. But even if at first glance they are sitting perfectly, it’s not worth relaxing, periodically you still need to check if any edge has come unstuck.
How long can I wear?
You should not really rely on the fact that false eyelashes will last longer than the time indicated on the package. Human skin, including on the eyelids, is individual for each, therefore it is not possible to predict how the adhesive mixture will behave. Check and find out, you can only try it on yourself. Based on this, a tip: the first use of false eyelashes should not coincide with any significant event in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Dermatologists do not advise walking with pads daily. There are several reasons for this:
- glue can irritate the skin or mucous membranes of the eye if used too often;
- voluminous artificial pads can cause premature aging and sagging of the skin of the eyelids;
- there is a slowdown in the growth of their own eyelashes or even their loss.
The best option is to wear false eyelashes only in special cases. And regardless of how much they can hold out, they must be removed at the end of the event. This method of application will not only allow you to look bright and unforgettable, but also preserve the health of hairs and eyelids.
General recommendations
To glued eyelashes look like real, it is enough to choose a model that is most suitable for the shape and size of the eyes. For example, for deep-seated, medium-length curved linings are suitable. They will make the look open and expressive.If the eyes are located close to each other, then beam cilia with an emphasis on the outer corners of the eyelids will be relevant. This form will visually enlarge the eyes and add charm.
Of course, the use of false eyelashes facilitates makeup and improves its quality, but do not forget about the recommendations, which should be remembered by absolutely all users of these accessories:
- buy only high-quality, proven models of overlays;
- in the absence of experience in fixing accessories - seek help from a specialist;
