All About L-Curl Eyelashes
Today, eyelash extension is the most popular cosmetic procedure used by most of the fair sex who want to look unbeatable at any time of the day or night. At the same time, the look of each woman acquires its own unique flavor. The reason for this is the special curvature of the artificial eyelashes.
Peculiarities
The trend of eyelash extensions came into vogue a few years ago. Thanks to this procedure, each of the fair sex not only acquires an exquisite and expressive look, but also receives ready-made eye makeup for several months in advance.
Today, L-bend eyelash extensions are in great demand. Their distinctive feature lies in the graceful curling of the ends of the artificial hairs. In this case, the rest of the cilia remains flat. Due to the unusual slope of the angle of the curled hairs, it turns out to hide the problem areas of the eyelids. At the same time, the gaze acquires an amazing openness and languor.
Comparison with other bends
Before identifying the distinctive features of the curl of the L eyelashes, you should familiarize yourself with their main features. According to cosmetologists, it is a very strong bend of artificial hairs with an even, straight base. These eyelashes are suitable for women who like to wear glasses. However, most ladies choose this bend from the point of view of correcting the shape of the eyes.
The most similar curves are considered to be the M, U and L + options. Yet there is a difference between the two. For example, the M curve suits ladies with downward lashes.The L bend, in contrast to the U bend, is calmer, no extreme and no harsh self-expression. Bend L + can be called a sibling bend L. Their main job is to hide the blemishes of the eyelids, to play the role of a kind of corrector.
The only difference between the two is the bending depth.
Who is it for?
Before going to a beauty salon for a hair extension procedure, a woman needs to decide which bend is most acceptable for her eyes. Yet many ladies who want a deep look choose the L curve. This same shape is popular among ladies who wear glasses. But the main thing is that this bend allows you to hide defects and mask puffy eyelids.
Professional lashmakers, seeing a new client for the first time, immediately determine what effect of volume of eyelashes will be appropriate. However, there is a special technique that allows you to determine the type of eye incision without the help of a specialist. To do this, you need to carefully look at yourself in the mirror and visually draw a line along the outer part of the eye to the inner corner. Next, analyze the resulting line. If it turns out to be even, then we are talking about an almond shape. With such a cut, you can safely experiment on your appearance. If the resulting line has an upward direction, namely: it rises to the temporal lobe, then we are talking about an Asian eye section. It is this form that requires correction.
Still, women, with a special desire, can conduct experiments on their eyelashes, give them an oval or straight shape. However, for most of the modern fair sex, the masters recommend doing exactly the L-bend.
The reason for this is drooping eyelids arising from constant lack of sleep and overwork.
