How to glue false eyelashes?

The desire to learn how to properly glue false eyelashes arises in many girls and women who are not satisfied with the natural length or density of eyelashes. Indeed, it is not very convenient to constantly visit the salon before important events or dates, and it is not always possible to use the services of specialists. Detailed instructions will help you figure out how to properly glue artificial eyelashes to yourself at home step by step.

Before proceeding with the practical application of false eyelashes, it is worth choosing a suitable technique, as well as purchasing tools and glue on which artificial hairs will be fixed in bundles, tapes. Among the mandatory devices, without which it will not be possible to carry out the procedure, one can single out:

• tweezers for grabbing bundles or tape;
• pointed nail scissors;
• a neat brush for combing;
• mirror with a magnifying effect.

The choice of tweezers will have to be given special attention. When applying eyelashes, the same tools are used as when extending. They are made of durable steel and have a stainless steel finish. The shape of the tips can be straight or curved, and the slope ranges from 60 to 90 degrees. Only practice will help to determine the optimal form.

When buying false eyelashes, glue is often included with other consumables. But the quality of fixation may be unsatisfactory. In order for the false hairs to adhere well to the surface of the eyelid, it is worth purchasing a reliable adhesive composition.

Among the trustworthy options are the following.

1. Duo Adhesive. Focused on fixing strip eyelashes, reliably attaches even materials on a fairly rigid base. On sale there is a black version, which is well suited for evening make-up, as well as transparent, which allows you not to use a liner.
2. Irisk. Professional glue for lashmaking, sold in specialized stores. Provides a firm hold, focused on work with bundles.
3. Catrice Lash Glue. Produced by a brand that specializes in the production of artificial eyelashes. The adhesive has a strong hold and works well with both bundles and tapes.

Tufted false eyelashes are very similar to those used for extensions. Each bundle is composed of 2-3 hairs of the same or different length. They are attached to the outer edge of the eyelid, varying the density and volume. You can learn how to properly glue false eyelashes at home with your own hands if you follow the instructions exactly. First you need to choose a suitable length of hairs, if necessary, trim them with scissors.

Beam fastening technique implies the following procedure.

1. Remove cosmetics from eyelids and eyelashes. Degrease the skin using special formulations. This will allow for better fixation of the artificial hairs.
2. It is better to curl false eyelashes on bunches at the ends with special tongs. With this technique, you can get a more natural effect.
3. Paint over the skin with a dark liner along the edge of the upper eyelid. This is necessary if an evening look is being created. For daytime make-up, "arrows" are not needed.
4. Apply mascara to lashes. Paint over in 2 layers, from base to ends.
5. Apply a drop of glue to a palette or other substrate.
6. Take the bunch intended for fixation with tweezers. Dip its base in glue. There should not be a large drop at the edge of the nodule; it is better to remove the excess.
7. Apply the bunch with glue applied to it to the eyelid as close to the natural ciliary edge as possible. Press lightly with tweezers for a stronger hold.

The rest of the beams are glued in the same way as the first one. When working in this technique, you can distribute the thickness of the false eyelashes to your liking. Usually they are attached from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corner of the eye, gradually increasing in length.

The original solution - lashes with magnets - allows you to get a reusable accessory to improve your own appearance. They are produced mainly in belts, they are quite convenient to use. It is quite difficult to make yourself spectacular false eyelashes of this type neatly and beautifully.

The order of work will be as follows.

1. Prepare natural eyelashes. Apply mascara of the appropriate color to them. After eye makeup, you can proceed to the next stage.
2. Lay out false eyelash strips on magnets, distribute in pairs. This will make it easier to fix them.
3. Inspect the belts, remove fluff, dust, possible contamination from them. Only then can the magnetic lashes be applied to the eyelid.
4. Using tweezers, take a pair intended for 1 eye.
5. Put it on the edge of the eyelid under natural lashes, as close to the hairline as possible.
6. Place the second tape above. It is necessary to make sure that the strips of magnets are held together.
7. Pull the connected ribbons by the tips of the hairs from the outer edge towards the temples. This will help straighten the ribbon, giving it a more natural and tidy look.
8. Use a dark liner to hide the line separating the fake lashes from the natural ones.

Magnetic fastening is convenient in that it does not require the use of adhesives that can cause irritation or an allergic reaction to the skin. If the location of the tapes is unsuccessful in relation to each other, they can be easily disconnected, and then fastened again. Correction is not difficult, allowing you to practice how to achieve the result. It is worth considering that such magnetic kits are produced only for the upper eyelid, for the lower one you will have to use other options.

In addition to the beam and magnetic options, there are other types of false eyelashes that can also be used to improve your own appearance. Among them are ribbons with ready-made bundles, which are very easy to fix even in a hurry. Self-adhesive disposable options are no less convenient, which can be fixed on the eyelid literally on the eve of a party or an important date.

Ribbon false eyelashes are the most popular and comfortable to use. All hairs in this case are already fixed on the base, they do not need to be collected individually. True, it can be quite difficult to carefully glue them on your eyes on your own for the first time.

The procedure will be as follows.

1. Apply makeup. In order to disguise the attachment point, use the technique of applying the classic arrows to the eyelids. Mascara is applied to natural eyelashes, carefully dyed, and combed one by one. If necessary, you can also use shadows, make-up correctors.
2. Take the tape with tweezers. You do not need to dip it in glue at this stage. The tape is applied to the surface of the ciliary edge, the excess is trimmed with scissors. The remainder is kneaded between the toes to give the base more pliability and elasticity.
3. Apply glue. Just a drop is enough. It is applied to the edge of the tape, then distributed along the length with a needle or toothpick. It is worth waiting for a certain time indicated by the manufacturer on the package. Usually 15-20 seconds is enough.
4. Using tweezers, you need to bring the tape to the eyelid. Since the glue dries quickly, it is imperative to be careful. The tape is pressed against the skin as close as possible to the line of the ciliary margin. First, the central part is glued, then the entire strip from the inner corner of the eyelid to the outer one.
5. Evaluate the result. If poorly stained areas are found where the adhesive trail is, a liner is used. It is optimal if the glue in this case is not transparent, but black.

It is imperative to trim false eyelashes in tapes before they are glued on. This is exactly what the stage of trying on without glue is needed.

The budget option - disposable self-adhesive eyelashes - is well suited for express use. After use, they are simply disposed of. The glue strip is already applied along the edge of the eyelashes, it is enough just to press it against the skin of the eyelid. Among such disposable options there are original colored, 3D ribbons that give an open look.

Self-adhesive fake eyelashes are solid strips with tufts of hair attached to them. They adhere faster and easier than magnetic ones, as well as those that require the use of liquid retainers. The only drawback is that if you attach it incorrectly, you will have to take a new pair of eyelashes.

The fixation process takes a minimum of time, it looks like this step by step.

1. Apply makeup using your usual cosmetics. It is better to use self-adhesive eyelashes for an evening out, especially since they are often decorated with rhinestones and other elements. In this case, the liner will be quite appropriate.
2. Get a false eyelash tape. Apply to eyelid, measure to desired length, trim.A large margin is not needed, but a strip that is too short will also look very artificial.
3. Take 1 segment. Remove the protective strip covering the adhesive layer from it.
4. Apply the strip with false eyelashes to the surface of the eyelid, as close to the eyelash edge as possible. Press firmly, achieving a strong adhesion to the surface. Evaluate the result.

Usually they are fixed for no more than 5-6 hours. It is strongly not recommended to leave them overnight. To prevent the development of allergic reactions, you should choose high-quality disposable eyelashes that use hypoallergenic adhesives.

False eyelashes attached with permanent fixatives should be removed immediately after the makeup is washed off. Unlike extended versions, it is not recommended to wear them for a long time. You can remove artificial eyelashes using a remover - a composition that can effectively dissolve the fixing agent.

In terms of consistency, it can be like this.

1. As a liquid solvent. In this case, a cotton swab or disk is moistened with the composition, then applied to the area of ​​the glue seam. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the liquid must be distributed carefully, avoiding contact with the eyes. Removers of this type can stand for some time on the surface treated with adhesives. Then the strip is pry off with tweezers, carefully removed.
2. In a creamy form. This version of the ready-made remover is more convenient, well suited for sticking eyelashes with bunches and ribbons. It is used by applying to the surface of the skin of the eyelid, cleaned of make-up, left to act, and then, when the glue has softened, removed along with the strip.

It is important to understand that you only need to purchase a remover if you plan to use false eyelashes on a regular basis. In other cases, it is possible to cope with their removal in simpler, more affordable ways. There is a whole list of "folk" remedies with which you can solve the problem of dissolving glue on a one-time basis.

The easiest way to do this is using the following components.

1. Water and cotton pad. This method is suitable if eyelashes in bunches were used for gluing. The moistened discs are applied to the eyelid surface. Then, when the composition softens, you can gently separate the eyelashes with tweezers.
2. Makeup remover. First, with its help, the entire surface of the eyelids is carefully processed. It is important to remove all makeup residues. Then, using a cotton swab, the liquid is distributed over the area where the adhesive layer is located, in the direction from the temples to the bridge of the nose. Once the base has dissolved and becomes pliable, you can remove the false eyelashes with tweezers.
3. Cosmetic oil. Almond, baby, or any other will do, including coconut or olive. The method works exclusively with false eyelashes, since in this case the consumables are guaranteed to become unusable. An oil composition is applied to the area of ​​the glue seam, kept for some time, after which the bundles or tape are removed.

It is impossible to tear off the glue forcibly, injuring the skin. When using reusable eyelashes, after removal, they are washed, dried, sent to storage in a plastic box or container. It is possible to remove the remnants of glue from the fibers using the same means as in the case of its dissolution on the surface of the eyelid.
