False eyelashes will help with this. This article will tell you how to use false eyelashes and choose them correctly for any occasion.
Shapes and varieties of false eyelashes
In today's beauty industry, there are countless brands that produce false eyelashes. Some of the best are Tatti Lashes, Lilly Lashes, House of Lashes and some others. Eyelashes differ in material, length, shape. However, with regard to the types of false eyelashes, they can be divided into three:
- beams;
- ribbons;
- and a new third look, which will be discussed later.
Beams are used to create a more naturalimage. They are a kind of brushes that consist of several cilia. How to use false eyelash tufts? They are glued pointwise to those places where they want to create the greatest volume (most often - in the corners of the eyes). The procedure for applying eyelashes will be described below.
Ribbons are slightly different from buns. In fact, these are bundles already glued to a thin strip, which, in turn, must be glued to the eyelid. Unlike bundles, there are many varieties of this type of false eyelashes: natural, with rhinestones, with feathers, etc.
What you need to know before applying eyelashes?
For many girls who are seriously interested in the topic of false eyelashes, the question arises, which is more harmless - to build or stick?
Do not forget that eyelash extension is a mechanical intervention, which, if the mandatory rules are not followed, can lead to unpleasant consequences: infection or pathogenic bacteria, an allergic reaction, etc.
Allergies can also occur when gluing eyelashes, since glue is used in this procedure. It is very important to read the instructions for the adhesive bases, checking if there are any allergies to nate or other substances that make up the composition. In no case do not save on glue, because everyone knows the saying: "The miser pays twice!"

Glue false eyelashes
Before proceeding directly to gluing eyelashes, you need to correctly determine the size. What does this mean?
- Place eyelashes against eyelid using tweezers.
- They will most likely be longer than your eyes, so line up the start of the false lashes with the start of your own growth in the inner corner of the eye, holding them with your fingers, grab the false lashes in the outer corner with tweezers where you need to trim them.
- Cut lashes carefully with nail scissors.

How to remove false eyelashes?
Experts do not recommend using false eyelashes very often, as the substances that make up the glue adversely affect the condition of your eyelashes (and here false eyelashes have an advantage over extensions - they can be removed at any time).

In no case do not try to tear off the eyelashes from the eyelids - you will only damage the skin. Everything must be done very calmly and smoothly:

If you remember, at the beginning of the article, a mysterious new type of false eyelashes is mentioned. These are magnetic eyelashes that have gained popularity and become very popular in 2017.
Usually in a set for one eye there are three small ribbons with long eyelashes and three with short ones, which allows, as in the case of bunches, to vary the number of false eyelashes. These are the so-called false eyelashes on three magnets. How to use?
