Eyelash extensions

Eyelash extensions - a very popular procedure. It Great for girls who do not want to spend time on makeup, but are not quite happy with how their eyelashes look without decorative makeup. Among the varieties of length, bending and effects of eyelashes, every woman will find an option that emphasizes the beauty of her eyes, levels their imperfections and gives the look expressiveness and depth. Sometimes it’s enough just to grow cilia at the outer corners of the eyes to get the desired effect. Let's talk about this building in more detail.

Partial angular eyelash extension has many advantages. Consider them.

1. The procedure lasts only 1 hour, which is essential saves you time. Standard building techniques can take 2 hours or more.
2. The effect of the corner (corner) building visually whit not inferior to the "classics", especially if your natural cilia are quite thick, dark and long. Artificial hairs only make them brighter, lengthening the eye and giving it an almond-shaped shape.
3. Building corners help to complement the image for any celebration: birthday celebrations, weddings, corporate parties, thematic photo shoots.
4. Incomplete build-up is also possible recommend to girls doubting whether they should choose this procedure and build up more serious volumes. Ladies will be able to check for allergies to materials, eye reactions to artificial hairs and glue. If everything is in order, and the extended eyelashes "take root", then later it will be possible to try the "classics", 1.5D or even 2D.
5. Corners look very natural, especially if the lashmaker correctly selected the length and thickness of the artificial elements, and also made a smooth transition from natural to extended eyelashes.
6. If desired adjust eye shape, partial angular extension will work best. With its help, it will be possible to visually raise the lowered outer corners, leveling the effect of “sad” eyes, to make them more elongated, almond-shaped.

Any coin has two sides, and no procedure can do without negative points.

1. Any eyelash extensions, not just angled, can cause allergic reaction on the adhesive. In addition, it happens that weakened or thin natural cilia do not withstand the weight of artificial hairs, and an impression of heaviness on the eyelids, causing considerable discomfort.
2. Eyelash Correction do at least once a month.
3. With extended corners forbidden go to the bathhouse, sauna, solarium, swim in the sea and pool, sleep, with your face buried in a pillow.
4. If your own eyelashes have a dull color, have to pre-stain themotherwise, the difference between natural and artificial hairs will be very striking.
5. With corner extension “native” eyelashes have certain requirements. A professional master will refuse you this procedure if he sees that your cilia are brittle, weakened, thin. In this case, the insert made of artificial material will look alien, rude, unnatural on the eye. Yes, and the wear period will be short.

Lashmakers say that most often girls choose angular extension in the following cases:

• if you want to get the most natural effect;
• as a trial procedure for assessing the body's response to artificial materials, as well as to see if there is any sense in further building up more serious volumes;
• if you just want to focus on the corners of the eyes, effectively highlight them;
• if a girl goes to another master, she may first ask him to make a corner extension in order to assess the level of skill and the quality of the materials used;
• for holding photosets or festive events, the practice of building colored cilia in the corners of the eyes, as well as decoration with rhinestones, feathers.

If we talk about the features of the appearance of girls who prefer angular incomplete building, then most of all it suits people with close eyes. "Arrows" visually expand the space and make eyes longer, almond-shaped. The same can be said about girls with small, deep-set eyes.

The time has come to reveal all the secrets of the procedure of corner building. The algorithm of action is as follows.

1. If your own eyelashes are light, their painted in a darker color. This will be best done 2-3 days before the build-up in order to minimize the impact of aggressive chemical constituents on the eyelid.
2. All decorative cosmetics, as well as dust, the remains of skin sebum, are removed from the eyes and face. The skin is degreased.
3. On the lower eyelid impose special protective patch or a cotton pad to prevent glue from reaching the lower cilia.
4. Using 2 tweezers, Master Lashmaker starts work. First of all, he separates one or two natural eyelashes, on which artificial ones will be attached. Then he grabs the material, dips it in glue and gently presses it to the base of his own hairs, departing from the eyelid for about 2 millimeters. This rule applies to both the ciliary and bundle extensions.
5. Cilia sticking conducted strictly from the outside. The longest elements are glued to the very edge of the eyelid, then, to its middle, the hairs become shorter.This technique is also called shading - a natural effect is achieved by gradually reducing the length and volume of the material used.
6. When all artificial cilia are glued, Remover removes excess adhesive.
7. From the lower eyelid remove the protective patch.
8. Gently comb your eyelashes. special silicone brush.

Sometimes masters advise a client not to limit herself to designing only the corner of her eye, but to make the so-called stretch on the upper eyelid.

How is work done in this case?

1. The eye is divided into 3 conventional parts: external, middle and internal.
2. The outer part is the zone from the outer corner of the eyes to the beginning of the iris; it is pasted over with the full volume of eyelashes.
3. The middle part is located above the "iris" - it also needs to be divided in two (the pupil will become the "border"). Part from the end of the outer zone to the pupil is filled with artificial material through 1-2 natural eyelashes, part from the pupil to the inner zone - after 3-4.
4. The gap from the inner corner of the eye to the iris we leave empty.

It is very important to choose the correct length and effect with such an incomplete extension. There can be only 2 effects: foxes and squirrel. It will be more convenient for the master to reproduce the “fox”: draw the outer corner with the longest hairs and move on with a smooth shortening of the elements. “Squirrel” requires a different approach: there the main lengthening falls on the bend of the eyebrow, and shorter eyelashes are attached to the outer corner. In building corners, hairs from 6 to 14 millimeters in length are used, depending on the desired effect and the client’s initial data.

Professional master lashmakers claim that if you follow all the recommendations for the care of artificial eyelashes, they will be able to hold out order 6-8 weeks. So here is what you need to do:

• the first 24 hours after the extension procedure should exclude any contact with water;
• do not visit the bathhouse, sauna, pool, solarium, beach at least a week;
• if you cannot refuse to use mascara, choose products that are easily washed off with water;
• remove makeup oil-free productsfat;
• for washing use simple baby soap or micellar foam;
• to prevent eyelashes from dropping down, use mascara as little as possible or refuse it altogether;
• try hard minimize mechanical impact on the eyelids: do not rub them with your hands, handkerchief, do not scratch your eyes, do not sleep, with your face buried in a pillow;
• twice a day (morning and evening) comb hair with a special silicone microbrushslightly twisting them;
• after washing pat your eyes with a lint-free towel - Do not rub in any case;
• refuse from an oil-based skin care product around the eyes - it is better to prefer a light fluid or serum;
• Do 2-3 times a week firming compresses for eyelashes, using decoctions of medicinal herbs: nettle, chamomile, calendula;
• protect your eyes from rain and wind;
• learn to sleep face up or turning to one side;
• if you wear glasses, ask the master to choose the length of the eyelashes so that they do not come into contact with the surface of the glass - otherwise, the artificial hairs will break and quickly become unusable;
• contact lenses are not a direct contraindication to eyelash extensions, however, you must remember that the constant effect on the eyelid when installing / removing them will reduce the wearing time;
• to remove artificial hairs it is possible only with the help of a special remover or oils: olive, castor, sunflower, but it is best to consult a specialist;
• eyelash extensions it is strictly forbidden to pull out - so you will not only cause severe pain to yourself, but you can also injure the eyelid, not to mention the fact that this will badly affect the hair bulb of your own cilia.

Well, now we want to show you what a partial angular extension looks like.

• This photo perfectly illustrates how it looks extended corners on eyelashes of medium length and density. Please note that the transition from artificial material to natural hairs is not striking, the bonding places are invisible. Work done masterfully.

• Here you can see an example before and after, when one eye has already been processed, and the second so far remains without accrued elements. See how the look has transformed, what a mysterious “cunning” has appeared in it. In this case, the model’s own eyelashes are quite thick and dark, which made it possible to grow long cilia - arrows.

• In this photo, on the contrary, the natural hairs are light, there are few of them, plus the outer corner of the eye is slightly lowered. Look how these eyes transformed the extension! It seems that even their color has become brighter, and the look is deeper. It was possible to correct the shape, to raise the “overhanging” eyelid and the “sad” corner.

• Here you see the full eyelash extension - judging by the volume, 1.5 or 2D, but we want to focus your attention on colored hairs on the outer corner of the eye. We talked about such a buildup earlier - with its help it is possible to create the necessary image for a thematic photo shoot or to participate in a holiday.

• Another example of color corner building. It differs from the previous one in that it uses only one bright color - blue, creating an eyeliner effect. It is not so striking as multi-colored feathers, and therefore it can be worn every day.

To increase eyelashes or to refrain from such a procedure is, of course, a purely individual matter. If you are still in doubt, try the corner partial extension - so you can see for yourself whether it suits you or not, whether it is worth spending time and money on it.
