Apply Eyelash Extensions at Home: Easy and Inexpensive Techniques
When you look in the mirror, do your lashes make you feel like a goddess? If not, then it might be time to try eyelash extensions. These are some of the easiest and cheapest ways to get that extra bit of oomph without paying for professional services or finding time to go into a salon. In this article, we’ll cover some easy steps for applying eyelashes yourself!
Find a place that sells eyelash extensions: Make sure to do enough research on different stores and sellers that provide the best eyelash extensions. You can find them easily in offline stores, online stores, or by searching for the providers in your area. Doing this will help you find the right one for your needs and also get it for the best price as per your convenience.
Choose from different varieties of lashes: There are lashes for different occasions, so you must find the right ones for your needs. For example, if you’re looking to add a bit of glamour at night but want something more natural and low-key during daytime hours, purchase two sets, with one having longer extensions than the other. You will also come across varieties such as natural, dramatic, and significant volume, suitable for different occasions.
Choose appropriate extension tools:
There is an eyelash tool designed explicitly for applying them individually; however, this can be time-consuming and difficult. If you’re not sure how long they should be or need help in shaping them properly before gluing them on, then opt-out of using these tools as they might lead to difficulties later down the line. Instead, use tweezers which will make application easier and quicker!
Find a video tutorial on YouTube to guide you through the process: There are plenty of instructional videos on applying eyelash extensions. They will show you how long they should be in order for them not to look too over-the-top and give you a few pointers that might have been left out from the instructions supplied with your set.
Apply each extension one at a time:
If you’re using tweezers, then hold it up against the end of your natural lashes so that when released, there is enough space between these two sets which means less chance of them getting tangled! Slowly move it upwards towards where the eye starts curving into itself. Make sure that all ten fingers (depending on how many sets purchased) lay flat against your lid without any overlap; otherwise, this will make removal difficult as well.
Trim any excess from the end of each lash strip: Do this step with cuticle scissors or clippers if necessary. It will help you get rid of the extra length in the end.
Apply adhesive: Apply a strip of lash glue to the top of your natural lashes, not below them! The best way to do this is by first putting some onto an eyelid as well and then placing it above your eye for easy access when applying extensions. Be sure that you’re only using enough amount so that there’s no room left over in-between each extension. If too much is applied, then chances are they will fall out quicker than usual or might irritate one’s eyes if they come into contact with one another while sleeping at night. You can use tweezers again here but try holding them against both ends (tips) simultaneously to help create more space between the two sets once released from each.
Apply lash glue to the backside of the strip: Put a generous amount on and spread it around. Whether you’re using eyelash adhesive or any other glue, shake off any excess onto the side of your hand in order to be able to hold it still when applying for easy placement!
Tape down glued lashes if necessary: If there are certain parts that refuse to stick, then use some tape over the top as this should also help with making sure they stay put throughout wear time.
Thoroughly clean away all lumps from eyes after removal: Use cotton swabs dipped into makeup remover, which will also remove any remnants left behind, such as residue from tape used during the application process. This might look like an additional step, but it is so important not just for cleanliness but also for preventing any infection!
You can do these steps for a few lashes at once:
The best way to finish off the process is by taking an eyelid in each hand and gently pulling them apart before carefully applying lash adhesive. This will ensure that they are evenly applied across both sides of your eyes which looks great no matter what look you’re going for!
If you are using tape, it’s important not to let the glue dry on as this could damage skin and cause soreness when removed. Give some time for the adhesive to dry completely before removing all traces with makeup remover cotton swabs again!
Conclusion:
It might seem difficult to apply to do eyelash extension at home, but with these steps and techniques, you’ll find it easy as pie.
