Millions of women around the world dream of long thick eyelashes. Still, it is thanks to them that a woman's eyes acquire the very ability to charm at first sight. Unfortunately, not every woman can boast of the natural beauty of her eyelashes. However, you should not worry about this, especially now, when the beauty industry is able to correct almost any oversight of nature. Eyelash extensions will come to the rescue in this matter.
Eyelash masters are ready to offer clients not one, but several eye design options at once. In addition to the natural, doll-like and sparse effect, there is another option for eyelash extensions - the squirrel effect. What is the peculiarity of this service, and why do many women choose it?
Eyelash extensions. Squirrel effect: what is it?
The peculiarity of the squirrel's gaze is as follows. At the inner corner of the eye, until about the middle of the eyelid, there are short eyelashes of the same length. Starting from the middle, the length of the eyelashes gradually increases. Right at the outer corner, the length of the eyelashes is sharply reduced.
Exactlysuch a transition of length allows you to achieve an original result. Photos of celebrities will help to make sure of this: the squirrel effect of eyelash extensions has become incredibly popular among showbiz stars.
A fox and a squirrel look are the same thing?
Many girls tend to confuse eyelash extensions such as fox and squirrel look. At first they may indeed seem very similar, but there is still a difference between them. From the photo, the squirrel effect of eyelash extensions is not difficult to distinguish from the fox.
As it has already become clear, the squirrel look is achieved due to a sharp transition from long eyelashes to very short ones at the outer corner of the eye, in other words, the lash line draws a triangle.
The fox effect is based on a different technique. In this case, the longest eyelashes are on the outer corner of the eye.
Fox and squirrel looks give a different effect, so they should be selected taking into account the appearance of each particular girl.
Suitable for?
The answer is simple. Eyelash extensions (like eye makeup and eyeliner) have a corrective effect. In other words, with the help of eyelash extensions, you can visually enlarge or reduce the eyes, slightly change their shape and location.
Knowing this, the masters carefully select the best option for each visitor to the salon.
The squirrel eye effect is great:
- girls with almond-shaped eyes;
- women with round eyes;
- with a little convexeyes;
- when the eyes are close.
In any of the proposed options, the squirrel effect gives the look originality and elegance. However, it also happens that this extension technique is not entirely suitable. It is worth abandoning it to the owners of far-positioned eyes. Long eyelashes almost at the outer corner will make the eyes even more distant from each other.
How is eyelash extension done?
There are 2 technologies:
- eyelash;
- beam.
Eyelash extension is a procedure during which single hairs are used as a consumable. At the same time, one or several artificial eyelashes can be glued to each natural eyelash. This method takes more time and costs more, but the result is more natural and accurate.
Beam extension - a technology that uses ready-made eyelash bundles (3-5 hairs in each bundle). In this case, the extension procedure is much faster, but not suitable for every case.
When choosing a squirrel effect for eyelash extensions, it should be remembered that only the first method (eyelash) is suitable for such an extension procedure. This is explained by the fact that the beam method does not allow to achieve a sharp difference in length, which means that the whole technology will be violated. The beam method is best left for technologies such as puppet andfox look.
Natural Volume
A distinctive feature of the squirrel extension effect is a sharp transition from short to long eyelashes and back. At the same time, the amount of extension can be completely different.
The natural volume of eyelash extensions is one of the most popular. With this option, there is one artificial eyelash for every natural eyelash. Natural volume allows you to achieve an original effect without overloading the eyelashes. This option should be chosen by those women whose eyelashes are naturally thick, but short.
If we talk directly about the squirrel effect, then this technique is not quite suitable for it. The fact is that the natural volume only slightly emphasizes the expressiveness of the eyes, but there will be almost no noticeable squirrel effect (as such).
2D volume
Building 2D can be used both as an independent technique and in combination with a fox and squirrel effect. What does 2D mean? This name fully describes the extension technology, where 2 artificial lashes are glued to 1 natural eyelash.
At the same time, artificial hairs are installed in a special way with a “fork”, in which the tips of the eyelashes diverge slightly to the sides. Eyelash extension 2D - squirrel effect - suitable for women whose eyelashes are short and sparse by nature. In this case, the effect of very thick lush eyelashes is achieved.
In addition, the 2D volume for a squirrel look allows you to achieve the effect of an arrow on the eyelid, and it is he who is needed for visualadjustments.
Lash length
Lashmakers select the length of artificial eyelashes for each woman individually, however, there are some peculiarities in the squirrel look technology.
- Inner edge of the eye. At the very corner, the shortest cilia are attached, the length of which is 6-7 mm. Through a small gap, a length of 8 mm is connected, then 9 mm.
- Middle. By the middle of the eyelid, the length of the eyelashes should already reach 10 mm, a little further - 11 mm.
- Peak. The longest eyelashes are located at a distance of 0.5 cm from the outer corner of the eye. Here the length can reach 12mm.
- Outer corner of the eye. Here the main task is to drastically reduce the length, therefore, cilia of 11, 10 and 9 mm in size are used for a short period.
In general, the master can choose the length that is necessary to create the desired effect. Looking at the photo of eyelash extensions squirrel effect 2D, you can see: at the peak, the length of the eyelashes can be very large (up to 22 mm). The most important thing in this case is to withstand the technology of transition from one length to another.
Lash Curl
Eyelash extensions differ not only in length, but also in bend. This parameter is also important to take into account and select for the natural curve of the eyelashes of every woman.
J is a fairly gentle curve that is perfect for a natural effect, often used to define the corners of the eyes.
B - a slight curve that mimics the curve of natural lashes. It is indispensable forto create a natural effect.
C - medium bend. It is most often used in the effect of an open look.
l - lashes with a straight base and a rather curved tip.
D - maximum bend, characterized by a deep curl. Used as a consumable to create glamorous lashes.
Decor
Squirrel eyelash extensions look luxurious on their own. The eyes take on an interesting shape, become more open, playful and do not need additional decor. However, in some cases, other techniques are allowed, such as coloring and the use of rhinestones. Usually this design is necessary to create a luxurious look for a wedding or any other festive evening.
- Coloring. This term should be understood as the use of colored eyelashes when building. At the same time, they can be located only at the outer edge or alternate with ordinary black cilia. In the photo, eyelashes with a squirrel effect with coloring are especially beautiful, which is why they are so loved by photographers of fashion glossy magazines.
- Rhinestones. Rhinestones are most often placed at the very base of the eyelashes. In this case, the decor looks quite stylish and organic, while not overloading the eyelashes. Rhinestones can be safely used both white and colored to match the outfit or accessories.
When going to the master for eyelash extensions, you should definitely take a closer look at the "squirrel look" eyelash effect. It suits mostwomen, while endowing the eyes with a truly magical property.
