How to choose false eyelashes?

Long and thick eyelashes are every woman's dream. They not only emphasize the look, but also facilitate your daily care. Natural-looking eyelashes are a great alternative to strong eye makeup, for which we often don't have time. However, the biggest difficulty appears when we go shopping. How to choose false eyelashes so that the gaze looks natural? How to use them properly? How to protect your eyelashes? Probably these and many other questions are asked by many representatives of the fair sex. In order to present this issue, we have prepared a short guide in which we suggest what to consider when choosing fake eyelashes.

Types of false eyelashes

Before you decide on a specific product, you should define your needs. Some women like to emphasize only the outer corner of the eye, yet others want the real "wow" effect and large volumes. Among the available solutions we can distinguish two categories of false eyelashes, which we have indicated below.

• Fake eyelashes on a strip: this is the entire line of the upper eyelashes, which we apply from one corner of the eye to the other. Thus creating a full stylization.
• Fake eyelashes in knots: knots consist of several eyelashes (usually three), which can be glued anywhere, which allows full freedom of styling, but requires more skill.

Certainly, many of you come to the next question: so which one is worth choosing? There is no clear answer. It all depends on our individual needs and preferences.

Bright and thin eyelashes

If we have thin and bright eyelashes, then we must take care of both their length and volume. In this situation, the application of knots can be a bit difficult, so a better solution will be to glue an entire eyelash line. Thanks to this, we will achieve the maximum result in a very simple way and in a short time.

Mysterious glaze and small cavities

It happens that the eyelash line of some women has minor cavities. In one place, the eyelashes are longer or none at all. Then one of the best ways is to apply knots that will not only fill in the gaps, but also highlight our look. This type of falsies is also dedicated to women who value delicacy. Sometimes three literal knots are enough to make the eye look completely different, even without makeup.

What else is worth remembering?

Other features to keep in mind when choosing eyelashes or knots are:

• durability: a good solution is to buy reusable eyelashes. This will have a positive impact not only on our finances, but also on the speed and ease of subsequent applications.
• manufacturer: there are many eyelash manufacturers on the market who focus only on price. This approach causes that we receive plastic eyelashes, which can not only sensitize the eye, but also lead to allergic changes that prevent subsequent applications.
• Suitable cover: many strips require the use of an eyeliner, which does not always look good. It is worth choosing eyelashes that have a special "covering" housing.

Of course, there are many more of these factors, but above we have indicated those that can be classified as the most important.

How to glue fake eyelashes or knots?

Once we have chosen the perfect type of eyelashes, we can start the application. However, prior preparation will also be extremely important at this stage. Even the best-quality eyelashes can fall off after a while, when we apply them, for example, on unwashed makeup or a greasy face conditioner. So how to glue eyelashes in the right way? You can see the answer below.

Accessories that are worth having

For gluing eyelashes or knots, it is worth preparing:

• a tweezers: but not the one we use for eyebrow hair removal because its tips are too sharp and can deform eyelashes;
• eyelash glue: there are different types from white, through black, to transparent;
• micellar make-up remover: it will remove mascara remnants without applying a greasy layer of the cosmetic on the eyelashes;
• scissors: they can be useful if the eyelash strip is too long.

How to apply eyelashes?

Professional manufacturers usually publish detailed instructions of their application on eyelash or knots packaging. One of the most common activities, that are worth pointing out are the following steps.

Step 1: Prepare the eye

Remove makeup and wait a moment for the eyelashes to dry.

Step 2: Try the eyelashes on

If the strip is too long, you can cut it.

Step 3: Prepare the glue

Brush the eyelash strip with glue.

Step 4: Stick them

Apply the strip along the lash line: from one corner of the eye to the other. Then press it with your fingers.

In many cases, this application does not take more than 10 minutes. Finally, it is also important to remember about appropriate eyelash removers. It happens that sometimes it is difficult to get rid of excess glue. In this situation, a safe solution would be to use a special cleaner.
