Build-up effects schemes
Every girl wants to look sexy and effective. Modern beauties have everything they need for this. You can decorate the image not only with spectacular styling and makeup, but also with lush extended eyelashes. It is worth noting that there are a lot of different building-up schemes. Each of them provides its own visual effect and volume. Different girls have different solutions. In a long list of the most popular techniques, there are some that women of fashion turn to most often. Let's take a closer look at such techniques.
Natural
The natural effect is rightfully recognized as one of the most demanded. It is he who is most often chosen by girls. The popularity of such solutions is due to the fact that they look as natural and natural as possible.
This effect does not have any special corrective properties, since it exactly repeats the shape of natural ladies' eyelashes.
The natural extension scheme looks something like this. In the implementation of the natural effect of building is not the most difficult. Despite this, girls are still encouraged to carefully select a master who will work on their eyelashes. A similar build-up scheme can be implemented using the popular wireframe method.Many of the novice craftsmen use the framework, since it is much easier to work this way.
Fox
A very beautiful fox effect on ladies' eyelashes is insanely popular today. There are many variations on how this build-up can be implemented. For example, the harsh fox effect is achieved through the use of colored eyelashes showing a pronounced arrow. Here bends L and C are combined. Also, with a sharp scheme, other bends can be used, for example, B and L or C, L, M. There are plenty of variations.
Many girls turn to another option, in which the extension is made along the upper and lower rows with a combination of villi having different lengths and bends. For centuries, such schemes look very flirtatious and playful, for which modern women of fashion fell in love with them.
With the fox method, the corners of the eyes are stretched, as it were. For such purposes, artificial cilia with parameters of 14-15 mm are used. In close proximity to the inner corner, their length indicator is halved. This option looks especially impressive on girls who by nature have round, bulging or close-set eyes.
Puppet
This is one of the original effects that looks incredibly bright and attractive. If the doll extension was done correctly, then it is difficult not to pay attention to it. With him, the ladies' look completely changes, becoming more expressive.
Despite the fact that the puppet effect looks bright, it is not chosen too often. Most often, they turn to doll building to visit various holidays and solemn events, as well as photo shoots or concerts.
This interesting scheme involves the application of a large number of hairs that are the same length in the middle of the eyelid. The villi begin to shorten to the corners.
The most elongated hairs can reach up to 12-15 mm. This scheme looks especially harmonious on girls who, by nature, have an elongated eye structure. It is advisable to pay attention to the makeup that is applied with the lashes in question. The emphasis in this case should be made exclusively on the eyes. If you use lipstick with a bright accent, then the image can turn out to be frankly vulgar.
Squirrel
The main purpose of this beautiful effect is to add a unique expression and brightness to the eyes. By means of squirrel build-up, girls can stand out from the gray crowd, literally lure the enthusiastic glances of passers-by to themselves.
The technique in question is ideal for wearers of long natural eyelashes. It allows you to effectively highlight their beauty and grace.
It so happens that girls who have bulging, almond-shaped eyes or drooping eyes come to the masters. Squirrel build-up is perfect for owners of such parameters. In the scheme of such a technique, hairs are used that are as short and long as possible. Smooth and neat transitions are made between them. This scheme is called "soft protein". If the transition is made more abrupt, then such a build-up will already be called "sharp squirrel".
Rays
Many girls prefer spectacular build-up with rays. Today, this technique is a real trend that became relevant only a couple of years ago. This is a great alternative to the usual mascara application. By means of the “rays” technique, it is possible to noticeably increase the volume of the villi, and visually open the eyes. The final look is quite natural and natural.
The rays themselves are the longest fibers made of artificial material, which are attached after 2-5 short ones. The method under consideration does not imply the use of standard beams, since the required effect cannot be achieved with them.As a result, the result is very overloaded.
The application of the thinned effect of eyelash extension is not the easiest and easiest one. The procedure itself takes much more time. In most cases, for such a build-up, girls go to specialized salons, since it is almost impossible to master it on their own at home.
Feline
This chic effect is very suitable for many girls. To beautifully imitate the mysterious feline look, lashmakers use hairs that have 2 lengths.
Extension is carried out according to the following scheme: cilia with an average length are attached, starting from the inner corner of the eye and up to the middle of the eyelid.
Long villi grow from the middle of the eyes to their outer corners.
By itself, this effect looks very feminine, mysterious and sexy. According to experts, this extension technique is suitable for girls with any eyelashes. Especially brightly feline extensions emphasize the brightness and beauty of large ladies' eyes.
How to choose?
As you can see, there are plenty of different building schemes and effects developed. Each of them has its own distinctive characteristics. Knowing what build-up effects are, it is easier for girls to make a choice in favor of the best option.
In order to choose the right build-up effect, girls need to take into account the shape of the eyes and the peculiarities of their structure.
Consider what type of extension is suitable for a particular type of ladies' eyes:
- for owners of round eyes, a gorgeous fox effect is ideal;
- for bulging fox eyes, the effect will also be a good solution;
- when the corners of the eyes are raised, then in this case, the fox type of extension will be the best option;
- if you need to choose an effect on a drooping eyelid (or "crying eye"), then it is advisable to take a closer look at the playful squirrel effect;
- when the outer corners of the eyes are lowered, the squirrel effect will also be appropriate, as in the case of small eyes;
- the natural build-up effect is suitable for most girls, since it looks as natural as possible;
- for close-set eyes, experts recommend choosing a fox effect;
- if you want to give your gaze a beautiful Asian touch, then you can turn to the cat effect, which suits most girls.
All the listed parameters are approximate. In any case, the girl should first consult with the master to choose the ideal build-up scheme. In this case, the risk of making a mistake in the choice is reduced to zero.
How to markup?
Before proceeding directly to eyelash extension according to one scheme or another, you first need to correctly make the markup. This is a very important stage in this procedure, so you need to take it as seriously and responsibly as possible. The beauty and neatness of extended eyelashes will depend on the correctly made markup.
Let's consider step by step instructions on how to prepare markup for beginners on your own.
- The client must correctly take the starting position - lie with her eyes closed. Next, the master must use special helium pads (meaning patches). They will need to be carefully placed under the eyes, clearly under the lower eyelashes.
- Next, you will need to take a red, deep blue, orange or green felt-tip pen. It must be clearly visible. Using a felt-tip pen, draw angular lines that radiate from the inner and outer corners of the eyes.
- Outgoing lines should be matched in size to the corners of the client's own eyelashes. You can ignore the length of the lines, since it does not play any role. The main thing is that all stripes are clearly visible during the hair extension work.
- Next, in the middle, you will need to draw a vertical strip. Determine the center point of the client's lash line.It will be necessary to sketch a vertical line that will go from the indicated mark to the edge of the patch. In this case, the length of the line is also not important.
- One side of the drawn line will be called the "inner eye" and the other the "outer eye".
- Now the prepared diagram will need to be divided into small squares. It is necessary to plan for the presence of at least 3 segments going towards the inner eye, as well as 4 more segments that will go towards the outer eye.
- Try to draw the indicated lines not perfectly straight, but angular. The fact is that they must correspond to the "natural" angle of the girl's eyelashes.
- Feel free to experiment with different widths. The widest zones should be located closer to the middle, and the narrowest ones to the outer zone of the eyes.
- Remember to assign numbers to all segments. The length of the attached artificial eyelash in millimeters should be taken as a basis. It is advisable to write down the numerical designation of each of the segments. You should start from the inner corner and gradually move to the outer.
- It is imperative to make a comparison of the starting and finishing segments with the "native" eyelashes. After that, moving closer to the middle, it will be necessary to gradually increase the numbers with an interval of 1.
- As soon as the middle is reached, the numbers will need to be reduced by 1 towards the opposite edge.
The very process of preparing markup for novice users can seem very complicated and intricate. In fact, there is nothing to worry about here. The main thing is to act strictly on a closed eye, to show maximum care and accuracy. In this case, further modeling and building will be very successful and beautiful!
Major mistakes
Eyelash extension is an interesting process, but it requires certain knowledge and skills. Regular practice is required to study this matter in depth. This is the only way to become experienced craftsmen. But, every lashmaker (especially a beginner) is not immune from certain mistakes.
Let's consider in detail what are the main mistakes in eyelash extension.
- A common mistake is incorrect attachment of long artificial hairs. Some masters, among whom there are also professionals, attach artificial material to the full length of natural eyelashes. This is totally wrong.
- It is also a mistake that the villi are attached either too far from the root of their own hairs, or directly on the skin of the eyelid.
- Using too much adhesive is one of the most common mistakes. If too much glue is taken, then it simply begins to glue different cilia together. As a result, there is no point in waiting for a beautiful and accurate result.
- The use of low-quality, cheap materials is a serious mistake that some craftsmen make. Poor-quality solutions and artificial villi both look bad, and are attached poorly, and can provoke allergic reactions.
- One of the mistakes of novice masters is to start with very complex building schemes. If the skills and experience are still not enough, then it is not worth taking on too complex work. It is advisable to start with simple schemes, gradually fill your hand and move on to more complex techniques. Then there will be no quick frustration with the process and the results will be more attractive.
To avoid such mistakes, you need to be careful and careful in carrying out cosmetic procedures.
General recommendations
When doing eyelash extensions, it makes sense to take into account a number of useful recommendations regarding this procedure.
- Every master, especially a beginner, should hold the tweezers correctly when doing eyelash extensions. Many users hold it like a spoon. This hand position is fundamentally wrong.To grip the instrument more comfortably, it is recommended to grip the lower half and clamp it with your thumb and ring finger.
- When attaching artificial eyelashes according to any of the schemes, it is very important to act calmly, as carefully as possible. In this matter, haste is not only undesirable, but also dangerous. If you are too hasty, you can accidentally injure yourself with a tool.
- Before starting the beauty procedure, do not forget to put patches or other special pads under the lower eyelids, which can be fixed with paper tape.
- During the eyelash extension, the client's eyes must always remain closed. This needs to be monitored.
- To make it much more convenient to work, it is advisable to "drop" a special adhesive solution for building up on a glass board. Many masters do just that. After that, dipping the tools into the glue turns out to be more convenient.
- All lower eyelid fixators, patches can be removed only after the extension procedure is completed. In addition, it is very important to wait until the glue solution on which the villi were attached is completely dry. If you hurry, you can ruin the result.
- The workplace in which the eyelash extension procedure is planned should be as convenient and comfortable as possible. It is advisable to place a high-quality massage table here, the height of which can be adjusted. It is also better to take an adjustable chair. For the client, choose a good medium soft pillow.
- There must be enough light in the place where the eyelash extension will be carried out. If it is dark in the working area, then you can not expect good results from the procedures, since many shortcomings will simply not be noticeable to the master.
- So that the glue solutions dry as soon as possible, and the cilia adhere to the base even better, it is advisable to resort to auxiliary drying. Such manipulation also leads to the fact that all glue vapors are much more likely to evaporate. In such conditions, the client's health will not be harmed in the slightest.
