Eyelash extensions for overhanging eyelids
Such an anatomical feature, like a drooping eyelid, is found in both mature women and very young girls. Moreover, many actresses who are considered to be quite attractive have this crease. However, some consider a heavy eyelid a disadvantage and fight it with various methods. For those who are afraid to go under the knife and want to facilitate everyday tricks when applying makeup, eyelash extensions are an excellent solution.
Peculiarities
Eyelash extension takes place in several stages. At the first, the master assesses the situation in order to select the material, prepares the eyelashes and the area around. To hide the problem and not overdo it, it is necessary to take into account the proportions of the face, the condition of the eyelashes, the shape and fit of the eyes. Then the selected hairs are glued to the base of the eyelashes in a certain order. Finally, the new lash line is fixed and brushed.
The advantages of building up for the impending century are:
- the ability to always look beautiful regardless of the time of day or activity (right after sleep, while swimming or playing sports, etc.);
- no need for touching up with ink, which often leaves imprints on the overhanging eyelid;
- additional delineation, selection and visual change of the eye section;
- thickening, increasing the volume and bending of your own eyelashes;
- ease of care;
- the possibility of using decorative elements - rhinestones, colored hairs, etc.
It is difficult to achieve a similar effect, which is provided by building-up, with ordinary makeup. Of course, this procedure is done for a certain time and requires correction.In addition, girls with extended eyelashes should give preference to special cosmetics, give up sleeping on their stomach and do nothing that could harm them.
These and other precautions can quickly get used to. After all, everything is done so that eyes with a heavy eyelid look as attractive as possible.
The real contraindications for building up are eye inflammatory diseases, allergies and oversensitivity.
How to choose volume and bend?
To determine the curvature of future eyelashes, the shape of the eyes is of great importance. Of course, it all depends on how the motionless eyelid hangs over the mobile one. If this feature is practically invisible and not critical, you can choose any option that suits other criteria.
If the fold turns out to be large and the mobile eyelid is almost indistinguishable - you will have to choose a bend that can hide this problem as much as possible.
- Bend C matched curl with medium intensity. He only slightly opens his eyes, making him more alive. It is he who emphasizes the natural data and also holds well.
- L - a bend of a non-standard shape, close to triangular. Ideal for women with heavy eyelids, giving them chic yet comfortable eyelashes.
- L + differs from the previous one in greater smoothness. Due to the fact that they fit better at the base, their useful life is increased.
- D and CC in our case, they can only be used at the outer corner, since they curl straight from the base, unlike L. Combining different hairs, as a rule, gives a more natural result.
When choosing the type of volume, it is necessary to build on the condition of the woman's eyelashes.
If they are thick enough, then a classic or one-and-a-half will do (when one or two additional ones are glued alternately to your eyelash). 2D is recommended for those who have insufficient volume of eyelashes.
But 3D or even 4D most often looks defiant. Such eyelashes, due to their unnatural density, will rather not hide the crease on the eyelid, but rather draw attention to it.
Suitable effects
Nowadays, there are several types of eyelash extension. Moreover, depending on how it was carried out and on which areas the emphasis was made, the result obtained depends. Usually, with an overhanging eyelid, the eyes appear narrower, smaller and deep-set. If you add to this the lowered outer corner, then the person may look tired or sad. In order to give your face enthusiasm and attractiveness, you need to pay attention to all of the above nuances.
The most common is to create a "natural look" that almost completely repeats the natural growth of eyelashes. At the same time, the length of the hairs being extended does not greatly exceed the existing ones, and the longest of them will be located in the center. This will slightly round narrow eyes and accentuate their natural beauty.
To achieve a more interesting effect, you can use "Squirrel" effect. To do this, use hairs with a large bend and different lengths. The longest ones are not attached to the edge of the outer corner, but with an indentation - as a result, an imitation of "squirrel tassels" is obtained. This technique allows you to more strongly change the shape of the eyes, make them more graceful.
In order to stretch the eye section to the temple and slightly upward, use the scheme "Cat look"... Its essence lies in a smoother transition from short hairs to long ones - this allows you to create fluffy, playful, seductive eyelashes that will make absolutely any girl irresistible.
What doesn't fit?
Often, clients ask the master to make them a specific version that they really like. But only an experienced specialist is able to assess how the result from the picture will suit a particular client.... Indeed, besides the impending century, there may be other problems.For example, building up with a large curvature can only make the situation worse if the eyes are slightly bulging.
The popular "fox gaze" is contraindicated for people with an Asian eye shape and a characteristic fold in the eyelid.
The extension, which creates the effect of natural eyelashes, remains controversial. Of course, if the thickness or length of your own eyelashes leaves much to be desired, the difference before and after will be visible to everyone. But in advanced cases, this will not be enough. According to this principle, rare cilia-rays, as well as incomplete extension, are not suitable.... For colored hairs, the condition of the eyelids should be almost ideal, in our case, they can be allowed only in the corners.
The puppet look and excessive volume are practically not used in everyday life, because they only look good on photos or videos. Too much bending of the glued hairs (for example, U) can prick the eyelid and looks perfect only in the first days.
Expert advice
Currently, at the height of fashion, cilia, similar to natural ones, both in length and in volume. Moreover, even for women with an impending eyelid, they are able to work miracles. On average, the length of natural eyelashes for women ranges from 7 to 9 mm, so you can take hairs 10-12 mm for extension. For more natural-looking eyelashes they should be 1-2 mm shorter.
The thickness of the hairs used depends on how bright the planned image should be. Thick and long hairs can cause discomfort, especially if the extension is done for the first time. For classic and 2D it is better to use from 0.06 to 0.1 mm.
Moreover, the thinner the cilia, the longer they will last.
You can not ignore the lower eyelashes. They should be shorter (6-7 mm) and with a minimum thickness. This will not overload the eyes, but make them more expressive.
No eyelash extension will look good without timely care. This includes avoiding any traumatic action (rubbing, curling, and rinsing with water), switching to water-based cosmetics, and gently removing makeup in this area. A drooping eyelid is another reason to grow eyelashes and feel more confident.
