What is the difference between 2D and 3D eyelashes?
Nowadays, naturalness is in vogue, which cannot but affect the trends in the lash industry. Eyelashes painted with ink in several layers have long gone out of fashion. Makeup should make facial features harmonious, and the beauty industry, following this trend, does not stand still. Several years ago, voluminous eyelashes, extended with the most natural effect, became relevant. They give the eyes additional expressiveness, depth and are simply irreplaceable in hot weather, when there is no desire to overload the face with cosmetics.
This procedure eliminates the need for mascara and minimizes makeup time. Various fastening technologies are used, which completely replace the make-up. Today lash pros offer their clients technologies for creating high quality volume with enchanting effects.
Pros and cons of building
The work consists in attaching a separate false bundle to your eyelashes or several bundles at the same time. The most natural way to create a special splendor of eyelashes allows volumetric extension or "Russian volume" ("Russian Volume 2D"). This is what the West calls this method of forming the ideal geometry of the beam in various techniques, created by the Moscow master Irina Levchuk. The method allows you to increase the volume from 2D to 9 D.
To make the eyelashes look much brighter, but at the same time, of course, their design in 2D and 3D will be optimal, creating the effects of "natural beauty" and "wide eyes", which are again at the peak of popularity.
Volumes created using these methods are best suited for everyday wear. And for women of fashion who value this ratio of density and naturalness, experts recommend using 2D and 3D performance.
2D
Only by gluing a few of the thinnest mink or silk artificial hairs up to 0.07 mm in diameter to each eyelash on the eyelid, the master is able to create the effect of sufficiently natural voluminous eyelashes. Several methods of building up in the 2D technique have now been developed. But with all existing methods, the result will be the same.
Eyelashes will look the most natural and will be almost indistinguishable from their relatives.
The sparse 2D version is very much in demand among the clients of masters-lashmakers, which looks quite natural and is able to replace both voluminous and lengthening mascara. Extension using this technology allows you to become the owner of luxurious, ideal eyelashes in a couple of hours. The method is simple to implement - a volumetric effect is achieved by alternating hairs of different lengths, 2 fibers each through one of your eyelashes. The method allows you to mix the length and curves, taking into account the characteristics of the face.
In fact, this procedure is also a classic eyelash procedure, taking into account modern developments, only several polymer ones are glued to each native one at once.
Build-up with ready-made bundles is inexpensive and easy to apply. The polymers used are of high quality, hypoallergenic and durable. The process of fast express extension without loss of quality, when a bundle of V- or Y-shaped braced hairs with a slight graceful bend is glued to the eyelash.
Bundle gluing lasts longer than the classic due to the very convenient fan-shaped arrangement of the villi... Extended hairs, facing in different directions, increase the fluffiness of the double volume.
In addition, the absence of one dropped out will not be so noticeable, because two cilia, distributed at an acute angle, may well replace the dropped ones.
The Japanese method uses the finest silk... Each silk villi is first glued to one of its cilia, and then all of them are gradually formed into bundles. This process requires from the master a long, at least 2.5 hours, painstaking work and a lot of accumulated experience. in mastering the techniques of beam shaping and complex modeling.
A novice craftsman will not be able to cope with such work, which requires perseverance over a long period of time and with almost jewelry work. And only by mastering fast and high-quality beam shaping techniques and having developed super speed, you can reduce the procedure time.
Extension by this method is suitable for girls with a minimum number of their eyelashes. With its low thickness and correct attachment, which allows to evenly distribute their weight, synthetic fibers do not injure the eyelids and do not interfere with normal life.
So that they do not bring any problems to their own eyelashes, they should be corrected every month.
The glamorous effect directly depends on natural data. With a lot of their eyelashes, they will look very magnificent in 2D volume. Otherwise, to achieve density, resort to 3D volume.
3D
A significant advantage of the three-dimensional effect is the ability to make the framing of the eyes much more pronounced by attaching 3 hairs to one of your own and placing them in two rows.
The look will not turn out to be too overwhelmed if a shorter length is chosen.than classic or 2D. And the client will be much more comfortable wearing them.
If an excessive length was chosen during the extension, then as your eyelashes grow back, the artificial ones will look unaesthetic.
Thus, the correct selection of the texture weight will be an important factor for creating the weightlessness of the eyelashes.
The two-row mount is suitable for girls who want to focus on the eyes. A triple bundle is an effective method of masking rare and not very long eyelashes..
By creating a triple volume, you can diversify the look with spectacular trendy curves: rays (the same classic or sparse 2D version), fox, squirrel, puppet or color millennium for corporate evenings, fun events and photo shoots.
However, it should be remembered that the more voluminous (over 3D) the extension, the less time it will take to wear.
With sufficient caution, you need to treat mega-volumes, because, not withstanding the severity of the weight, eyelashes can quickly fall out.
Comparison
Double and triple volume are more popular than other volume shaping and modeling techniques. They are used by the largest number of women. Those of them that are owners of their own thick eyelashes, beauty industry professionals will recommend the classic extension... But most of the clients of lash masters do not have this beauty. And they have to decide for themselves: choose an emphasized naturalness or magical density. To find out which is better, you should compare the final result and see the difference between the effects obtained.
The differences in the techniques of volumetric attachment of eyelashes are primarily in the length, direction and density of the villi. If they can be the same in size, by the way of gluing, then the density is the main difference.
The cilia method is characterized by painstaking work, when a pair of polymeric ones with different lengths and with a distance between the villi up to 1 mm is glued to any one short or weak own cilium. If the technology of combining different types of eyelashes for visual correction of the look is followed and high quality material is used, then it is almost impossible to distinguish voluminous eyelashes from your own.
Bundle volumetric types of techniques are quite fast, much less time is spent if you stick the bundles, and not individual hairs. But this method also has a rather serious disadvantage: when peeling off at least one bundle, the appearance of other eyelashes will suffer... About 7-12 bundles are glued to each eye with a distance depending on the density of natural hairs. It will be possible to build up such a massive weight only on healthy, large and strong own eyelashes.
After the volumetric design, the eyes look accentuated even without the use of cosmetics. However, it must be taken into account that every woman is endowed with the individual parameters of her natural eyelashes, her density and length, the color of the iris of the eyes, the asymmetry of the eyes and the unique features of her face. That's why eyelash extensions will look different on different clients, even if the procedure is performed the same and flawlessly.
Thus, the 2D or "lash-to-lash look" is close to a natural everyday look. And 3D creates a rich, stunning, transformed look with impeccably voluminous lashes.
However, it should be remembered that an increase in the number of artificial hairs, their length and thickness will increase the expressiveness of the look, but will seriously reduce the feeling of naturalness.

Coloristic and shiny eyelashes are rarely decided to wear every day. Long bent, bent black cilia made of mink are considered traditional.... This is the gold standard for build-up.
But the main thing that is required is to determine the desired effect from the procedure: naturalness, but with greater brightness 2D or more pronounced density from creative 3D.
Natural result 2D is more suitable for daily wear... Both sparse classics and full-scale 2D technologies will effectively emphasize the look and at the same time will look as natural as possible.
In pursuit of beauty, the main thing is not to lose yourself and understand that an excellent appearance should be as natural as possible.
Double volume will be completely natural if you choose the right synthetic hairs, thus ensuring the optimal weight for your eyelashes. For everyday wear, it is desirable to apply the "squirrel" or "fox" effectthat will give the eyes expressiveness and a well-groomed look. The effect of the “color millennium” in 3D volumetric design is indispensable for making selfies bright - this main attribute of life on the Web.
And the great splendor of 3D volume is preferred by modern women of fashion as a way of creative self-expression during photo sessions, filming, on special occasions. The design 3D and above creates a shocking image.
Of course, the client herself will have to make the final decision on choosing the best option for herself. But before increasing the appropriate volume, you should heed the recommendations of a specialist lashmaker, who is able, based on the need for extensions, to professionally and objectively assess the appearance of real eyelashes, their condition and individual parameters.
Before deciding to become the owner of artificial lush eyelashes, it is imperative to keep in mind that any process does not go unnoticed.
For several months of use, your eyelashes, of course, will not be lost, but if the extension lasts six months or a year, and even more so for several years in a row, then the eyelashes will begin to weaken and lose elasticity, there is a risk of being left with “naked” eyes.
A positive result is possible only if you make a choice in favor of the highest quality products of premium brands, with which the master will change the shape of the eyes. They can be safely increased by several units without harm to your own health.... And there is a chance, avoiding unpleasant consequences, for a long time to please others with fluffy, long eyelashes.
Of course, 2D transforms the eyes, making them incredibly attractive. However, experts prefer 3D eyelashes and believe that the future belongs to them. Fluffy, but quite natural, they stay in their original form longer and are worn for more than 3 months from the date of extension.
But whatever the choice, be it 2D or 3D, the main thing is to achieve the goal so that eyelashes will delight you with a beautiful natural look for many months.
