Eyelash extension is one of the most popular beauty services today. And in this area there are offers for a wide variety of clients. Give someone maximum naturalness so that it is impossible to guess that these are artificial cilia. Someone wants the look of an oriental beauty, very expressive and bright. One of the interesting options for those who are not going to be modest is the “cat's eye”.
Effect description
Such an increase will be effective only if it is done correctly. It is the “cat's eye” of one of the techniques in which the cilia are attached to the external moving eyelid.
In the work, the master uses different types of eyelashes. The hairs have different lengths, and their location will not specifically be uniform.
Veko is conditionally divided into zones. In one that is closer to the inner corner of the eye, medium-length cilia are used. They neatly alternate with natural eyelashes.
To the outer edge of the eyelid, the master increases the length of the threads, due to which a gradient is created to change the length and density of the eyelashes. Such extended cilia give roundness to the middle of the century. Eyes become more expressive, look - "wide open." But this kind of building is considered especially bold: even if a similar method is initially suitable for a woman, you need to be prepared for such external changes.
Cilia for creating a “cat look” can overlap in two ways.
- Japanese version. It is used for short and weakened eyelashes, as the master glues one or two artificial eyelashes to one own, no more.
- Beam option. It is used less often, since during natural renewal of artificial eyelashes, artificial ones fall off immediately in bunches.
Unlike more natural types of building, the “cat's eye” significantly changes the face, and not everyone can get used to it. If a woman in makeup loves to focus on her lips, then a look significantly changed by building + bright lips can be too much.
Who is it for?
If the client has deep-set eyes, the “cat's eye” can fix the relative flaw.
But if the eyes are set far apart, such an extension technique visually distorts the features of the face, reducing their attractiveness.
Who should use the cat's eye?
- Deep set eyes as already noted, the first "indication" to this type of building. The look becomes more open, which can visually make a woman's face younger and even more fun. All thanks to the visual change in proportions and traits. It happens that deep-set eyes look tired, and even women a little over 30 do not look so fresh precisely because of this anatomical feature. Because the "cat's eye" can be a saving procedure.
- Very short eyelashes by nature. The gradual lengthening of the cilia will look close to natural, but you need to follow the extension scheme. If a woman has very short cilia, and even light ones, the “cat's eye” should be soft, otherwise he will come into conflict with the original external data. Such work is called clumsy among masters.
- The first significant age-related changes. If a woman feels that something is missing for her to rejuvenate, if she sees how the oval of her face changes, wrinkles appear, and the expressive eye make-up begins to age her, you can pay attention to building a “cat's eye”. Due to the effect of “wide-open eyes”, a feeling of general rejuvenation, freshness, radiance arises.
If a woman is accustomed to bright makeup (eye shadow, eyeliner, pencil, shading), a combination of these preferences and an enhanced “cat's eye” may be excessive. In this case, you have to choose one thing. Such a build-up is not suitable for those who seek to create the most natural effect.
How to choose the length and volume?
False eyelashes in length can be different - from a modest 6 mm to an impressive 20. The most preferred length is 10-14 mm. If you want to do everything close to natural, you need to be based on the natural length of the eyelashes, and it is 6-10 mm.
The choice of volume is as follows.
- Classical. Suitable for those who have their own eyelashes of medium density or thick. One artificial cilia sticks to one of its own. The effect is impressive, but girls who decide on a “cat's eye” rarely request such a volume. Usually they want to enhance the effect.
- 1,5D. This volume is created by alternating one or two artificial eyelashes on one natural. In this way, the shape of the eye is usually corrected.
- 2D. A double volume is created due to the extension of two artificial eyelashes to one natural. As a result, the client has very lush eyelashes, creating the effect of thickly mascara eyes.
- 3D On one of his own cilia, the master glues a bundle of 3 artificial threads. Not everyone will like such an expressive result, and in combination with the "cat's eye" it looks even hypertrophied.
- Hollywood volume. It is fair to say that such a buildup is not particularly in demand today. If you grow from 4 to 10 artificial cilia on one natural eyelash, instead of the “wide-open eye” effect, you can get the effect of a tired eyelid and eyelashes that look too magnificent. It goes to units.
A good clue in choosing the volume will be a consultation with an experienced master. Not the one who blindly fulfills all the customer’s requests, but who sees how the customer’s better and does not hesitate to express his opinion and justify it.Fashion is fashion, but new cilia should be appropriate for the type of girl. An objective and experienced lashmaster will not let the client make a mistake.
Building Schemes
They will not do “cat's eye” on the basis of weakened hairs, not ready for such a load. Therefore, it is not surprising if the master first sends the client for treatment and only then is taken for a complex build-up.
Bending options (determine the extension pattern).
- C-curl. Expands narrow and enlarges small eyes. Visually reveals the view, for the "cat" technique is often used.
- B-angle. It emphasizes the natural contour and preserves the natural attractiveness of the almond-shaped eyes.
- D-curl. It copes well with disguising a deep-set eye socket or a lowered eyelid. Perfectly "opens up" a look.
- L-curl. Raises the slightly lowered upper eyelid.
When building the Lashmaster adheres to the following universal rules:
- the overhanging eyelid will not be so noticeable under a strong bend at the temple;
- a direct curl expands and stretches visually a small eye, a round cut;
- to mask a narrow fit, you need to tighten the cilia from the outside;
- to adjust the wide landing, you need to make the maximum bend at the inner corner and in the center;
- to refresh the face, you need to make a big curl.
After the extension procedure, you should less contact with the eyelashes: do not rub, do not sleep on your stomach for several days, avoid any make-up. A cat's eye requires delicate handling.
You can’t use oily cream and lotion for several days, because they can come into contact with glue and affect the quality of fixation.
Examples before and after
In order to visually see the degree of transformation, You can consider a few illustrative examples of "It was / became."
- Beautiful naturally curving eyes needed a more expressive eyelash frame. Moreover, in this case, we can say that the eyes are set deep, and the widened “cat's eye” made this natural feature less noticeable.
- That case when not half measures, but the most courageous option were needed. It is suitable mainly for young girls with clean skin and perfect eyebrows. Otherwise, such eyelashes will only draw attention to external imperfections.
- A good example, because the eyes after such an extension do not need a make-up. And if you go, for example, to the sea, such a transformation can be very convenient. But still in this photo it is noticeable that the distance between the eyes visually decreased. It is beautiful or not, it can be said only from the whole face photo. But it immediately becomes clear how the “cat's gaze” changes facial features.
- Obviously, there was some mismatch between the eyes and the eyelashes before. Quite modest natural eyelashes were lost, especially in contrast to naturally raised eyebrows. The extension of the “cat's eye” corrected this discrepancy, “opened” the eye and changed the area of the eyes as a whole. Very good option!
- And another example of how the “cat's eye” changes facial features. Eye “raised”, looks less tired, eyelashes color look good with eyebrows. Eye color is accentuated favorably thanks to the extension.
A good lashmaster, sound choice and careful care with subsequent correction - this is the recipe for a look that makes a woman more beautiful and happier.
