What eyelash extensions are there, types of eyelash bends, which bend to choose
Types of eyelash extensions
Artificial eyelashes are made from synthetic fiber. Eyelashes are divided by length and thickness.
But what about mink, sable, silk – you ask. In fact, eyelashes made from natural materials are very expensive and highly allergic.
The fiber from which eyelashes are made is hypoallergenic, holds its shape well and is comfortable to wear. Depending on the shape, length, gloss, the masters gave the eyelashes the names “mink", “silk”, and so on.
Thus, when choosing eyelash extensions, you should pay attention to the manufacturer, length, thickness and bend.
Manufacturers of high-quality eyelashes produce them in special palettes, in which the eyelashes are arranged in rows, signed and are very convenient to take and use.
Eyelash length
The length of artificial eyelashes usually varies from 5 to 16 mm. While working, the master uses eyelashes of different lengths. The most popular 10-12 mm, they look as natural as possible. Shorter eyelashes are used for the inner corners or for the lower eyelashes, if they are asked to build up the bottom. Longer eyelashes (13-16 mm) are used for outer corners and to give effects such as a fox look, rays and others.
In general, it is not recommended to increase eyelashes with a length of more than 30% exceeding your natural ones, otherwise they will not last very long.
Longer (from 18 mm) eyelashes are more of a theatrical make-up, in life they will look very unnatural, they will quickly begin to sag under their weight.
Eyelash extension thickness
Not so long ago, the masters did not have much choice in thickness, all eyelashes were about 0.2-0.25 mm in diameter, currently the thickness of eyelash extensions starts from 0.05 mm. The thinnest ones are used to build 3D-5D, when several artificial ones are glued onto one of their eyelashes, this allows you to make the eyelashes fluffy and at the same time maintain naturalness.
The thinner the eyelashes, the lighter they are, which means they will last longer on the eyes.
Eyelash curl
The gradation of the bend is indicated by Latin letters
Bend J (or I) – eyelashes with a weak curl. Sometimes used to extend long but sparse lashes to fill in gaps and still look natural. Not popular.
Bend B – close to natural. With the help of such eyelashes, you can add volume, but without the effect of twisting.
Curve C is the middle option. It looks natural and natural, but at the same time attractive. C-curve lashes are smooth and long wearing. This is one of the most popular types of eyelash extensions.
Bend D – creates a more pronounced effect of twisting, allows you to visually correct deep and far-set eyes, hanging eyelid. Not recommended for older women, as it creates additional shading of the eyelid.
The CC (or D+) curve is curled from the very root of the eyelash, making the look open and wide. Allows you to visually correct deep-set eyes.
Curve L – eyelashes have a straight base with a steep curl at some distance from the root. This type of curve is ideal for Asian eyes. It allows you to visually correct deep-set eyes, an overhanging eyelid, but it may not look good on slightly convex eyes. The L curve is well suited to customers who wear glasses.
The L+ curve is the L and D curves together with a straight base and a smoother and curled curl at some distance from the root. This type of curve is also suitable for Asian eyes. Allows you to visually correct deep and far-set eyes, overhanging eyelids. May look bad on convex eyes.
Now you know what eyelash extensions are, however, if you are a client, we recommend that you first of all listen to the advice of the master. Not always those eyelashes that look exceptionally beautiful on your girlfriend and naturally suit your type of eyes.
