All About 2D Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions have long gained immense popularity among the fair sex. Thanks to this procedure, the female gaze becomes more expressive and sensual. There are many extension techniques. In this article, we will talk about building up with a 2D effect.

Before proceeding to a detailed examination of all the nuances of eyelash extension using the 2D technique, you should understand what this popular cosmetic procedure is. The specified subtype of extension implies gluing not 1, but 2 cilia to 1 own eyelash.

Provided the 2D technique is correctly implemented, it is possible to achieve an effective double volume when compared with a natural look. For everyday wear, it is best to choose fibers that are the same length.

Nowadays, building up with the 2D effect is insanely popular. Many girls choose this particular cosmetic procedure, despite the fact that modern beauty masters also offer a more advanced 3D extension service. The relevance of the 2D effect is due to the many advantages that are characteristic of it.

However, there were also some drawbacks here, and they should be taken into account if you have planned to turn to this type of extension.

• An allergic reaction may occur on the materials used during the procedure. Fortunately, these problems are very rare, but allergy sufferers should consider the likelihood of their occurrence.
• As with any other type of extension, your own eyelashes will suffer.
• In order for the cilia extended in the considered technique to last as long as possible, it is necessary to additionally degrease the skin. In addition, the use of creams is not permitted.

If you visit a second-rate establishment (where all the services may be cheaper) or find yourself in the hands of an ill-trained professional, the results may unpleasantly surprise and upset you. In the most unfavorable cases, girls face damage to their own eyelashes and even eye problems.

• You should not turn to 2D extensions for girls suffering from hypersecretion of sebum on the eyelids.
• In case of gross damage to the eyes, 2D extensions are also contraindicated.
• You cannot build up eyelashes during pregnancy.
• People who have undergone chemotherapy are prohibited from doing any build-up.
• It is forbidden to build cilia for women suffering from metabolic disorders and problems with hormones.

To grow lush and spectacular eyelashes using the 2D technique, the master will need special materials and tools. Let's consider a list of them.

• Special professional glue with hypoallergenic composition. It is usually black in color, but clear solutions are also available on the market.
• Tweezers with straight ends, so that you can easily and comfortably grab the eyelashes.
• Beveled tweezers... It will be needed to gently push the hairs apart and highlight the desired areas on which the artificial eyelashes will be glued.
• Cotton pads.
• Separate clean container or a special piece of glass. They come in handy to spread the glue solution on them.
• Special degreasing spray.
• Hair set suitable shade, texture and size.

To correctly choose the most suitable options for cilia, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the characteristics of various types of materials. On sale you can find the following options for eyelashes.

• Silk. The material is of artificial origin, has a medium volume and a slight sheen. Suitable for extra lengthening and volume. Silk eyelashes are thin, so they do not cause discomfort when worn.

• Mink. This is the name of a very thin and "weightless" material for building. This is an analogue of wool, suitable for everyday wear. With these lashes, you can get a stunning natural effect. Each villi has its own thickness, due to which naturalness is achieved. Such material is not afraid of high temperatures and humidity.

• Sable... Cilia made of such material are heavy, therefore, they are not allowed to be used for thin and weakened eyelashes.

To get the effect of natural eyelashes, do not use hairs that are more than 0.15 mm thick. Otherwise, you can achieve the effect of the so-called doll eyes. The optimal lash length is between 9 and 11 mm.

There are several options for curving cilia using the 2D technique:

• B, C, D - characterized by a pronounced roundness at the tips of the hairs;
• U - the shape of such hairs turns out to be semicircular (the beginning of the arc goes from the base);
• L - the main feature of such a bend is straight villi from the base, but raised tips;
• L + - differs from the bend of the previous type by the more sharply raised tip of the eyelash, which also has a small arch.

As for the length indicators, the cilia are as follows:

• 5 mm;
• 6 mm;
• 7 mm;
• 8 mm;
• 9 mm;
• 10 mm;
• 11 mm;
• 12 mm;
• 13 mm;
• 14 mm;
• 15 mm;
• 16 mm;
• 17 mm;
• 18 mm.

It is not enough to choose only suitable sizes and curves of artificial eyelashes. It is equally important to think over their design so that the lady's image turns out to be spectacular and sexy. Consider what options for the design of eyelashes exist.

• Eyelashes with rhinestones look very elegant and original. This is a great solution for a lavish celebration or just a festive evening.

• If you want to add colorful notes to the image, 2D extensions with colored inserts are appropriate. It can be blue, pink, green or ombre villi - there are a lot of options.

• The look becomes more spectacular if you use the so-called sparse cilia design.

There are some of the most popular design effects that can be achieved with 2D eyelash extensions.

• Classic. Versatile design. Natural cilia during its implementation are supplemented by a small number of artificial ones. This is the optimal solution for those fashionistas who want to achieve a beautiful natural look.

• Feline... For this effect, longer cilia are used and they are fixed at the outer corners. Thus, visually, the eyes become much larger, and the look acquires expressiveness and sensuality.

• Puppet... It will be appropriate for those ladies who want to have large, voluminous and curled eyelashes. Thanks to this interesting effect, you can lift slightly drooping eyelids or "sad" corners of the eyes.

• Fox... Another effect, thanks to which it will be possible to achieve an unobtrusive increase in the eyes. In this case, short cilia are placed in the inner corners, gradually increasing them, approaching the outer corner. So you can make the look not only more aesthetic, but also mysterious.

• Squirrel. This is an effect in which villi of equal length are glued at the edges, and a bundle or a number of the longest hairs is fixed at the middle point of the eye. The effect is very similar to the brush on the squirrel's tail, which is why it has a similar name.

• Star effect. To achieve this, the bristles are attached around the full circumference of the eyes. Usually, with this solution, the villi are distinguished by a silk structure and good volume, due to which they look velvety. This effect will be a good solution for almost all cases.

With trendy 2D building, you need to adhere to the correct course of action. If you do everything as carefully and correctly as possible, you will be able to grow very beautiful and natural eyelashes. We will find out what stages the building of different types consists of.

A popular and fairly simple way of building up with a double volume effect. The bundles can be formed independently, it does not take much time. For such a procedure, you will need the following tools:

• plastic planchette;
• Double-sided tape;
• special protective tape for eyelashes;
• glue for eyelashes;
• single cilia of suitable length;
• tweezers.

And now we will analyze in stages all the features of the formation of beams for their further attachment.

• You will need to glue strips of adhesive tape on the tablet... Then you need to put a protective tape on them. It should be glued with the sticky half up. Prepared bundles will be attached to the ribbon.
• From individual cilia, it will be necessary to carefully form bundles of the desired 2D volume... To this end, using tweezers, you need to take along the villi and form a kind of "heel" by dipping the bundle into the glue solution. The surplus will need to be removed.
• Make sure that there is not a lot of glue. The collected bundle should be carefully fixed on the plate (on a protective film).

The very process of 2D-growth by the beam method should be implemented in the following sequence.

• You need to find the right length. Artificial material may protrude slightly beyond the natural cilia. If they are much larger, you can trim them very carefully with regular sharp scissors.
• Think in advance what effect you want to get and on which areas you will glue artificial eyelashes. Based on this, you can understand how many beams and how much volume you need. It is not recommended to apply bundles along the entire growth line of your own eyelashes.
• Treat your eyelids with rubbing alcohol... This is necessary to degrease the skin. In this case, the material adheres better to the base.
• Put some glue on a special plate, wait a little time.
• Take tweezers, pick up a bunch of them, dip its base in glue.
• Gently attach the bun to the outside of your eyelid at the very base of your natural hairs. Press it with a wooden stick and hold it a little.
• To prevent the beams from falling off during the work, give them some time to dry. Once you have glued one bundle, wait 2-3 minutes and you can glue the next one.
• Determine for yourself how thick the eyelashes you want to get as a result. You can correct this parameter by choosing a certain number of beams. The gaps between them must be left at least 2 mm.
• After completing all the steps, you should close your eyes and let the adhesive dry completely.

Bundled is far from the only 2D extension method. There is also a special Japanese technique, which is designed to create an effective volume on the eyelashes. In the course of this type of extension, a pair of overheads is attached to each of its cilia. As a result, eyelashes usually look natural and effective.

We will analyze step by step how you can extend eyelashes in accordance with the popular Japanese technique.

• First, it is recommended to conduct a test for possible allergic reactions that may occur in response to the components in the glue.
• You must first thoroughly degrease your eyelashes.
• The lower eyelashes should be covered with special silicone or gel pads - both varieties will do. This will prevent the upper and lower hairs from sticking together. During the procedure, the eyes must be kept closed. Gluing is most conveniently done with 2 thin and sharp tweezers.
• With the first tweezers, you need to carefully separate your eyelash, and with the second, an artificial one is attached to it. The instrument must be positioned correctly. Up to 150 artificial villi can be applied to the eyelid.
• The hairs are fixed by means of special substances that protect the adhesive base from moisture.

Eyelashes extended both by the eyelashes and by tufts must be worn correctly. Artificial eyelashes need to be looked after. Only by providing the built-up material with proper care, it can be noted that it lasts long enough.

• Do not apply cosmetics to eyelashes and areas next to them, based on oils. Oily creams should also be discarded. Under the influence of such compounds, the glue becomes too soft, due to which the false villi inevitably fall out.
• Do not rub your eyes and eyelidsas this can cause the cilia to deform. Often in such conditions, the hairs begin to actively fall out.
• During the first day, it is better to refuse water procedures, not to visit the pool.
• It is not recommended to sleep with your face in a pillowotherwise the overlay material will deform.
• Various cosmetics should not be applied to the artificial villi, curling and laminating them is also not necessary.
• To wash your face, you need to use only delicate products every day. Hot water should not get on the eyelashes.

• Despite the fact that 2D build-up does not require a lot of time, and many girls were pleased with this, there were also those who, on the contrary, found the procedure too lengthy. Perhaps the matter is in an inexperienced master or exclusively in subjective sensations.
