How to build up bunched eyelashes for yourself. How to learn to extend eyelashes at home

18.08.2019

Every woman dreams of beautiful big eyes framed by thick and long eyelashes. And if nature did not give her such eyelashes, then she has to look for ways - how to make her thin eyelashes "Hollywood".

Therefore, when the eyelash extension technique was created, which is done in stages in any beauty salon, the women of fashion perked up and decided to make themselves such "Hollywood" eyelashes as soon as possible.

Step-by-step instructions for eyelash extension

The extension technology itself consists in gluing several single or tufts of artificial eyelashes to the base of your own female eyelashes. It used to be believed that in order to avoid unpleasant consequences, such a procedure is best done with the help of a professional master exclusively in a beauty salon.

One of the types of eyelash extension - beam

But due to the high cost of such a procedure, many women have learned how to make extensions on their own at home.

The technique includes a preparatory stage and a main one. The step-by-step process of building is simple and if you approach it with the utmost attention and responsibility, you will be able to build cilia even at home.

Let's first consider the classification of types and methods of building.

There are two main types of extensions:

eyelash - with this method, the cilia look natural and last longer;
beam (a beam of artificial is attached to one of its eyelashes) - the look becomes more expressive, but the beams will not last long.

Eyelash extensions vary:

in length: short, medium and long;
by color: the most commonly used are black and brown, there are also other colors;
by material: natural or artificial.

There are also various extension methods:

partial extension - when synthetic cilia are glued only in the corners or at a certain interval (usually they are longer than their own);
complete - when the cilia are glued along the entire line, and each artificial one joins its own;
3D build-up - glued to each of its 2 synthetic, creates a three-dimensional effect;
creative extension (eyelashes of different colors with sparkles or rhinestones).

The duration of wearing artificial eyelash extensions is usually 2 weeks, after which they will gradually begin to fall out. This process is usually invisible to others.

When choosing eyelashes for extension, you need to take into account their length, thickness, hair stiffness and bend

When choosing eyelashes for extension, you need to take into account when buying the length, thickness, stiffness of the hairs and their bending. This is most often indicated on the packaging. The technique of the process itself can be mastered in stages on your own, guided by the recommendations in this article.

In case of piece-by-piece eyelash extension, you must first select the correct type of cilia.

In total, there are 4 types of eyelashes by type of material:

silk cilia - voluminous enough, slightly shine, they lengthen enough and add volume to their eyelashes (evening version, but not everyday);
mink eyelashes - light and thin, suitable for everyday wear, but they have a drawback (they can cause an allergic reaction);
sable eyelashes are heavier, therefore they do not stick to very thin own eyelashes, although they look very impressive;
artificial eyelashes - they are glued very easily (15 min.), but they last 1-2 pm.

The thickness of the hairs that will stick to the eyelashes should be no more than 0.15 mm, because the thicker ones (from 0.2 mm) give a "doll-like" effect and are used for very catchy evening make-up.

It is better to select the length of the hairs in the range of 10-18 mm. When buying, it is optimal to choose a set with hairs of different lengths, then longer ones are suitable for the outer corners of the eyes, shorter hairs for the inner ones.

Effects to create the look

There are also various effects that can be used to create a specific look for the eyes:

Natural- the look becomes expressive without the use of cosmetics.
Fox effect- cilia of different lengths are used (usually 3), while the outer corner of the eye is visually lengthened.
Squirrel- synthetic eyelashes are glued in different lengths, short - closer to the inner side, long - to the outer side of the eye, creating the effect of mystery.
Puppet- eyelashes with a length of 12-15 mm are selected, giving the look a doll-like and coquetry.

The main rule

The classic way of eyelash extension is the backbone of the lash industry... This extension technique is popular because eyelashes are lengthened in stages in a natural way by gluing artificial or thickening your own eyelashes.

This type of extension is widespread in Europe and supports the idea of “naturalness” in makeup, when the eyes look spectacular without signs of excessive makeup.

The main rule for classic extensions is to stick one artificial eyelash to one of your own

The main rule for classic extensions is to stick one artificial eyelash to one of your own.

There are several basic guidelines for this procedure:

The distance from the base of your eyelash to the beginning of the artificial one is 0.5-1 mm.
The artificial eyelash should be glued to its own in the direction from the base to the middle, and it is at the base that the eyelash is glued more tightly.
The autonomy of each individual lash must be respected. If they stick together, then later, with a difference in the growth of different eyelashes, the woman will feel discomfort.
When gluing the entire row of eyelashes, it is necessary to set them in one direction so that there is no "disheveled effect".

Required tools and materials

For a step-by-step home eyelash extension, you need to prepare a set of special tools, without which it is impossible to do it correctly and painlessly. The entire technique and the process itself occurs directly upon contact with the eyes, therefore, it is completely unacceptable for an infection to get into the eyes.

List of required tools:

high-quality hypoallergenic glue (usually black);
several toothpicks;
packing of cotton pads;
small tweezers, preferably two;
container for glue (preferably plastic) or glass;
spray degreaser for eyelashes;

Training

To prepare for the extension procedure, you need:

Prepare your hands(wash thoroughly with soap) and face (remove makeup).
Glue your lower eyelashes to your skin. For this, usually special silicone pads or just paper tape are used. You need to stick it, starting from the corner, so that all the lower eyelashes are closed and do not interfere with the work.

Carefully! When gluing, make sure that the eye is closed. It is important that the glue and its vapors do not fall on the mucous membrane of the eye, otherwise there will be a chemical burn, "tears will flow."

Degreasing those eyelashes on which the extension will be made using a degreasing spray. On a cotton swab, sprinkle a little liquid from the spray and carefully run over all the upper eyelashes, first in one, then in the opposite direction.

The preparatory process is over. Now, in order to master the technique of eyelash extension, we will consider in stages how this is done.

Extension of individual cilia step by step

After all the tools have been prepared and a set with eyelashes has been purchased, we will proceed to the extension process.

Note! If you are doing an extension for the first time in your life, then it is best to invite a friend or a more experienced person to assist you so that they can objectively evaluate the result when gluing each individual eyelash.

The most popular classic extension method involves gluing one artificial hair to one of your eyelashes.

With eyelash extension, each eyelash is taken with tweezers

For eyelash extensions, 80-120 artificial eyelashes are needed for each eye:

The glue is squeezed onto the glass.
Each eyelash is taken with tweezers and a blunt tip is lowered into the glue to the middle.
Then the eyelash is glued, retreating 0.5-1 mm from the eyelid, on each own eyelash separately. At the same time, short cilia are glued to the inner corners of the eye, and the longest ones to the outer corners. This creates the effect of a "cat's eye".
Professional masters advise to do several gluing procedures on each eye - 25-30 pieces for the first approach, then move on to the other eye. And so in turn.
During the last approach, the gaps are closed, and then both eyes are visually aligned in the number of cilia.

Bundling step by step

The tufted look is also called "Hollywood" because it is considered a solemn style. The bunches last for a maximum of 2-3 weeks.

Bundles with eyelashes are non-knotty and nodular. A knot is a ball at the junction of several artificial cilia. In the presence of a nodule, the bundle is easier to stick, but it will be visible on the eyelashes at the end of the procedure.

Usually 15-20 beams are glued to each eye.

The bundles are non-knotless (without balls) have a sloping attachment and are glued to the skin of the eyelids.

Tufts also vary in length and density. Often in beauty salons, rhinestones are also pasted for originality.

Usually 15-20 bundles are glued to each eye.

Step-by-step gluing of bundles:

drip glue onto the prepared glass;
a bunch of eyelashes is taken with long tweezers, the tip should be slightly dipped in glue;
own eyelashes in the right place are moved apart with the help of another tweezers, then the bundle is glued into this gap between the eyelashes either to the base of your own eyelash, or to the eyelid itself;
the direction of gluing is from the outer corner of the eye to the inner one, the beams must be distributed evenly along the eyelid so that gaps do not turn out.

Eyelash extensions using Japanese technology

The most popular and effective technique today is the Japanese eyelash extension technology for each eyelash separately. With the help of step-by-step instructions for such a technique, any woman can do it at home.

Japanese technique (step by step):

Pour the hairs onto white paper or a towel and choose the ones you need, sorting them according to the length or other parameters.
Prepare the glue - pour it into a small container.
Degrease the tweezers with a special solution.
Using a degreaser, treat the area around the eyes and your eyelashes, put wet cotton pads (halves) under the lower eyelids to protect the skin from glue.
You need to comb and separate your own eyelashes with a brush.
Each artificial eyelash is taken by the tip with tweezers, lowered with the base for a short time in the glue, and then applied to its eyelash near the base. The rest of your eyelashes, so as not to interfere, must be pushed back with a toothpick. For high-quality attachment of the artificial hair, it must be slightly pressed against the eyelash.
The direction when gluing is from the outer to the inner edge of the eye.
All cilia must be laid in the same direction.
After the end of the procedure, you need to lie down and wait with your eyes closed for a few minutes for high-quality adhesion of the hairs.

Correction of individual eyelash extensions

Usually, eyelash extensions last about 3-4 weeks. As a rule, a correction should be done once a month. For oily skin, the correction is done more often.

If a woman used additional tinting of extended eyelashes with mascara, then all the work would have to be redone altogether: to remove the eyelashes, because the mascara is clogged in the roots of the eyelashes and it is impossible to remove it from there. In this case, the application of eyelashes is done again.

Care for eyelash extensions after correction

There are several rules for the care of eyelash extensions:

you can wet the eyelashes only 2-3 hours after the extension procedure, so that the glue has time to set well;
you cannot sleep with your face in the pillow;
you can not rub your eyes;
the washing process is carried out very carefully, because getting wet reduces the wearing period of eyelashes;
it is better to refrain from going to the sauna because of the likelihood of straightening artificial eyelashes at high temperatures (approx. 100º);
you can not cry, it is also better to refrain from swimming in the sea (salt water does not have a very positive effect on glued eyelashes);
to wash off makeup, it will be optimal to use a tonic, and not a greasy cream (fat helps to dissolve eyelash glue), you also cannot use cosmetics with alcohol, this can greatly dry the skin on the eyelids;
to wash off cosmetics, it is best to use a cotton swab and do it without touching the eyelashes.

It is better to refrain from visiting the sauna temporarily.

Removing eyelash extensions

To remove false eyelashes, a special tool is used - a cream-paste for removing extended eyelashes. The paste should be rubbed into the base of the eyelash roots and held for 15 minutes. Then the artificial eyelashes are carefully removed, the remaining excess cream is removed, everything is washed with warm soapy water.

It's important to know! When you take off your artificial eyelashes, yours will seem terrible - sparse and short. Do not be alarmed! This is not because your own fell out, but because you are visually accustomed to synthetic, thick and beautiful ones.

Contraindications to the building procedure:

colds or SARS;
tendency to conjunctivitis or blepharitis;
allergy to glue or synthetic eyelashes;
very oily skin of the face or eyelids;
very weak and thin own eyelashes cannot support the weight of artificial ones;
high sensitivity of the eyes and tearfulness.

Sterilization of instruments is the main rule, which cannot be dispensed with.
In case of eyelash extension, which is a more complicated procedure, you need to make sure that the glued eyelashes “look in one direction”.
The lifespan of natural eyelashes is about a month, so when extending it is better to choose shorter eyelashes that will grow longer.
It is very important not to allow the eyelashes to stick together during the extension process.

Frequent beginner mistakes:

improper adhesion of the artificial eyelash along the entire length - it is best to fix the eyelash from the base to the middle of your own eyelash;
the wrong interval between the eyelid and the glued eyelash (should be 0.5-1 mm) - when the eyelash is glued to the skin of the eyelid, then the woman has a feeling of tight skin and uncomfortable wearing;
if the eyelash is glued far from the base, then an extra free edge is formed, the eyelash "dangles", which reduces the wearing time of such eyelashes;
gluing multiple eyelashes together prevents them from growing normally, which makes your eyelashes fall out faster.

After reading this article, a woman who wants to have "Hollywood" eyelashes will understand that the main thing is enthusiasm and experience. The correct technique for eyelash extension described in this article will help you to complete all the steps in stages, gain experience and get an impressive result - beautiful thick eyelashes.

The eyelash extension master class is led by E. Lange:

How is eyelash extension done, see here:

The beam augmentation technique is shown in detail here:

It's no secret that every girl would like to always look stunning. And so they can make voluminous, long and dark eyelashes. However, not all the fair sex has been endowed by nature with lush vegetation around the eyes. Therefore, adding artificial hairs to their own is such a popular procedure among women. Many people are interested in the question: is it possible to make high-quality eyelash extensions at home? After all, many want to be beautiful, and not all girls can afford the procedure in a beauty salon.

The technology appeared in 2003 and gained popularity among girls for its spectacular appearance and practicality in use. The method involves gluing each individual eyelash or several to its own hairs on the eyelids, which ensures their attractiveness. All hairs differ from each other in length and thickness. This makes them look natural. As a result, you are the owner of luxurious thick eyelashes. Subject to the rules of care, the result lasts for 2-3 weeks, after which a correction is needed. This build-up looks natural and emphasizes the shape and shape of the eyes. In the salon, the procedure lasts from 1.3 to 4 hours, depending on the skill of the lashmaker.

You can independently choose the length, thickness and bend of the hairs.

What materials are needed

If you decide to extend eyelashes on your own, but have not done this before, it is advisable to consult with the masters or watch videos on the Internet. A set of eyelashes can be purchased at a specialty store or beauty salon.

Individual eyelashes can vary in length, material, curl, color, and stiffness. Natural hairs look better on the eyes, but they are more expensive than synthetic hairs.

As for color, black is the most popular, but brown hairs are often in demand. For creative individuals, manufacturers have provided other bright shades, as well as sets with rhinestones and sparkles.

There are three lengths of eyelash extensions: short, medium and long.

Let's dwell on the material and stiffness of the hairs and consider each option step by step:

Silk soft eyelashes are suitable for girls who would like to give an effect to the look at a holiday or celebration. A set of artificial hairs will provide pomp and volume to the eyes, but it is more suitable for an evening version due to its short duration.

The set of mink hair extensions is lightweight and thin. The hairs look great, give the eyes expressiveness and are suitable for long-term use. They should be chosen with caution for girls prone to allergic reactions.
Sable hairs are heavy and should not be attached to weak lashes. The variant is characterized by a special splendor and effect.
Synthetic eyelashes are distinguished by their low cost and short duration. The hairs will only last a couple of days, but they are easy to stick and can help out when you are unexpectedly invited to a party.

The thickness of the hairs should be chosen based on the desired effect. The thicker the hairs, the more unnatural the eyelashes will look in the end. However, with too thin it will be more difficult in the gluing process.

Based on the above choice, a girl who wants to become the owner of lush vegetation around her eyes needs to decide on the criteria for future eyelashes and purchase them in a specialized department of the store. However, this is not all that is needed for such a procedure as eyelash extensions at home.

You need to acquire such tools:

non-allergenic black eyelash glue;
glass container for diluting the adhesive;
degreasing spray;
toothpicks;
cotton swabs;
small tweezers;
cotton pads.

Step-by-step instructions for building

If a list of necessary accessories for the gluing process has been prepared, you can proceed to the procedure:

It is necessary to cover the area under the eyes with special patches and cover the lower row of eyelashes for greater convenience. Further stages are carried out with the eyelids closed.
The spray moistens a cotton swab and degreases the surface of the upper row of hairs on the eyelids. This must be done carefully so that the composition does not get on the mucous membrane. Swipe the stick in both directions, from the nose to the outer corner, then back.
It is difficult to glue individual hairs on your own. And if this process is performed for the first time, then it is better to get an assistant. Each individual artificial eyelash must be glued to its own. For this, a small amount of glue is squeezed into the prepared container. Then, holding with tweezers, the villus is dipped into the composition for ½ the length and applied to the natural eyelash, making an indent from the eyelid by 0.5-1 mm.
In order to achieve a greater effect, you need to distribute the cilia by size (the shortest are glued at the inner corner of the eye, the middle ones are closer to the middle, and the longest ones are at the outer corner) and repeat the gluing process several times (about 30 pieces are attached to one eyelid , then a transition is made to the other eye and again we return to the first. So you need to do several stages until all the voids are filled).
Now you can open your eyes and visually evaluate the uniformity of the hair extensions. If a gap is noticeable somewhere, then you need to additionally fill it.

Precautions when working at home

While indulging in eyelash craft at home, do not forget about safety measures:

Do not open your eyes during the procedure. Otherwise, the adhesive composition or its fumes can provoke discomfort, burning and tearing, and cause chemical burns to the mucous membrane.
It is categorically contraindicated to build up with irritation, conjunctivitis, blepharitis and other eye diseases. Also, you can not carry out the procedure for flu and colds.
It is not recommended for girls with thin and weak own hairs to stick on artificial eyelashes.
If your eyes are prone to tearfulness, don't experiment with false hairs.

How to remove eyelashes yourself

Sooner or later the time will come when the enlarged beauty will have to be removed. If you do not want to go to a beauty salon for the procedure, then you can buy a special tool for removing artificial eyelashes. This solution is called a remover. There are gel, cream and liquid removers.

For home use, it is better to resort to a thicker consistency, as the liquid spreads a lot and can get into the eyes. The gel and cream base easily adheres to the surface of the cilia and remains in place.

How to remove glued hairs from eyelids yourself - step-by-step instructions:

It is necessary to remove all decorative cosmetics from the eye area. You can use lotion or facial cleanser.
Eyes should be blotted with a tissue or paper towel.
Patches are placed under the lower eyelid. If the latter are absent, you can cut the cotton pads in half and give each part a moon-like shape for ease of use. The patches have an adhesive base, so they adhere well to the skin. Dry discs can easily fall off during the operation, which is completely undesirable. To prevent this from happening, they should be slightly moistened with water and applied to the skin under the eyes.
You can now apply the eyelash remover. The remover is distributed over the lashes using the brush supplied with the product. At the same time, you must not open your eyes, since the solution can cause a strong burning sensation. It is necessary to keep the applied preparation no more than 5 minutes. This time will be enough for the glue or resin to dissolve, with which the hairs were glued.
Detached artificial eyelashes can be easily removed with a clean old mascara brush. They need to be removed, starting from the inner corner of the eye, moving towards the outer.
When all the peeled hairs remain on the patch or cotton pad, the lining from the skin can be removed along with the fallen eyelashes and gel.
At the end of the procedure, the eyes must be well rinsed from the remnants of the remover and the dissolved glue base.

Not everyone is lucky to be born with long, fluffy eyelashes. But many girls want to make their eyes more expressive, the hairs - thicker, and the look - livelier and brighter. Is it really possible to come to terms with what nature has given? Fortunately, beauty treatments work miracles today. In the salon, you can carry out building - the procedure is harmless, but quite expensive, it is not so profitable. In addition, it requires periodic correction. It is easier and more profitable to figure out how to build eyelashes at home on your own.

Where to learn

The cheapest way is to figure it out yourself. There are detailed instructions, one of which will be described below. Bloggers shoot detailed lessons on video, where they step by step describe the whole process with bunches or single cilia, you just need to repeat what they teach. Convenient and profitable. On the forum you can find answers to any questions about common mistakes in order to correct your own mistakes.

The main disadvantage of this method is the lack of professional advice. Even with the help of users' answers on the Internet, but you will have to correct all your mistakes yourself, the training is not designed for this. For beginners, finding something wrong in their actions is already a problem. All the more so to formulate and correct it correctly. Therefore, it will take a long time to achieve the ideal. If you need to make quick progress, it's best to find a teacher.

A more expensive but effective way is to get trained. Makeup artists and hairdressers often sign up for courses to improve their skills or learn something new. Doing manicure and beauty treatments at home is a fairly easy way to make money, so you can quickly find suitable lessons in beauty salons or studios. They usually last for several hours, 2-3 days, which is beneficial if you work or are constantly busy.

The wizard will describe in detail the process with beams itself, after which he will demonstrate it on a model. Then the students will try to repeat everything on their own in stages. The main advantage of the method is that the teacher will immediately explain what you are doing wrong and what needs to be corrected. In addition, often at the end of the course there is a nice bonus with a gift with eyelashes for extension.

The main disadvantage is cost. The price of the issue is several payments for visiting the salon for building, it will quickly pay off, so such training is profitable. On average, in Moscow, you can find courses from two and a half thousand rubles to twenty. It is also very likely that you will stumble upon beginners who are poorly trained, not interested in helping you, or do not know enough about how to properly extend eyelashes themselves.

Training

To start building eyelashes on your own, you first need to learn perseverance. It will take a lot of patience, especially at the beginning. Better to study on your day off, vacation or vacation. Make sure you have plenty of time to experiment, because nothing is perfect the first time around. Prepare the necessary tools:

tweezers;
glue for eyelashes, preferably liquid and does not dry instantly;
eyelashes: single at least 50 pieces or bundles;
degreasing agent;
water-based makeup remover;
magnifier.

Before starting the procedure, you need to adapt to using tweezers. They'll have to get used to wearing them a thin eyelash, so bring the process to automatism: lift a hair, dip it at least in some water and bring it to you. At first, it will fall out, your hands will quickly get tired of being unaccustomed, but soon you will get used to it and begin to act better.

Before starting the extension with bunches or by lashes, degrease the eyelids and eyelashes: you can wipe them with a special product. The oil weakens the glue, so it is best to skip oil-based cosmetics for a while.

Extension of individual cilia

To achieve a natural result, professionals use single artificial eyelashes. By gluing one to each real hair, you get not only lengthening, but also doubling their number.

Prepare artificial hairs in advance. Divide them into two symmetrical length groups. Experts advise taking shorter cilia from the inner corner, and longer from the outer one. Also, don't get carried away with their scope. The eyes will look too pretentious if the difference is more than a few millimeters. Think about what effect you want to get with eyelash extensions.

Take an eyelash with tweezers, dip it with the lower tip in liquid glue and attach it to a real hair. It should not touch the eyelid, the distance to the skin should be at least a millimeter. Use your fingers to squeeze the two hairs together so that they stick together thoroughly. The lower ends must be joined to create a bifurcation feeling - usually taught by professional craftsmen. From the outside it will not be noticeable, but with a magnifying glass you will see everything well. Never glue yourself more than one artificial hair to every present.

Increasing the lashes should be done gradually. Glued several hairs on one eye - glue the same amount on the other so that there is symmetry. Photo tutorials or step-by-step video tutorials will show you in detail how to do this. Proceed by lashes, do not glue 2-3 pieces into one bundle. In total, you will need at least 20 hairs for each eye to get it beautifully. Build-up lasts up to a month if carried out in the salon. Home result may last less.

Bundling

For beginners, the easiest way to learn how to extend eyelashes is to use bundles. They are denser so they are easier to stick on. Fewer of them are required, so the process itself will be faster. Perfect precision is not required with beams. They can fill in the gaps on the eyelid, while by the eyelids you will only improve the existing hairs.

Take a bunch of tweezers and dip it in the glue. Spread the native cilia in the place where you will attach the new ones, and attach the bundle to the eyelid itself. Use your fingernail or needle to gently separate the hairs so that they do not stick together. Don't start at the edge. Gently fill the eyelid with beams from the outer corner to the inner corner, alternately changing the eyes.

Act slowly and gradually, take your time, especially on the first attempts. It will take time to get used to, do not expect a miracle immediately after you finish the useful lessons. After finishing the procedure, wipe off the excess glue. When it dries, wash yourself with clean water. Due to the glue, do not use waterproof mascara or oil-based cosmetics in the future.

Lily

Start piece-by-piece extension at home with the preparation and sterilization of the instruments. Wash your hands thoroughly, prepare your work area. Use a gauze swab or cotton swab to treat your own hairs using a primer (degreasing spray). Follow the instructions:

Sit in front of a mirror, squeeze the glue onto the glass.
Secure the silicone tape or pad over the lower eyelid, close one eye.
Take one artificial eyelash with curved tweezers, soak its tip in glue.
Use the other tweezers to separate the hairs and select the eyelash on which you will glue the artificial thread.
Attach the element to the base of your own hair, retreating from the edge of the eyelid by 0.5 mm.

Build artificial fibers at home starting from the outer edge using long eyelashes and ending with the inner corner of the eye using short hairs. Masters advise doing several approaches. Glue 20-30 hairs onto the eyelid of the left eye, and then move to the right. Then fill in the remaining gaps by returning to the left eye. Repeat the same procedure with the right one, equalizing the number of hairs in both eyes. On average, 80-120 cilia are used for a piece-by-piece extension.

For a natural look, use different lengths of lashes. Consider the type of hair you own before using at home.

Do not use long and thick threads for the procedure if your own elements are thin and short. They will not withstand a heavy load and will begin to fall out within a week.

In bundles

If you are going to a gala evening, you can use the beam extension method. Suitable for photo shoots and various celebrations, it creates a stunning effect of solemn style. A woman can carry out the procedure simply at home, having prepared the necessary material and tools. When building artificial fibers with the beam method at home, follow the instructions:

cleanse your face and eyelids from decorative cosmetics;
degrease your own eyelashes with a primer;
attach silicone tape under the top row of hairs and close one eye;
pour some glue on the glass;
take a bunch and soak it in glue;
use one tweezers to separate your own eyelashes and choose a place for gluing artificial ones;
attach the bundle to the base of your own eyelashes, retreating from the roots of 0.5-1 mm.

To get beautiful eyes at home, glue the tufts evenly, spreading them along the eyelid in accordance with the length of the threads. When you're done with one eye, move on to the other. Perform the actions carefully and slowly so that the glue does not get on the mucous membrane. If the thread is not fixed correctly, do not pull it off, but moisten it with oil to easily remove it with a cotton swab.

The eyelash extension process requires patience and calmness. Only in this case can you achieve the desired results and avoid negative consequences.

Advantages and disadvantages of building yourself

Eyelash extensions are a way to make your eyes expressive and bright, to create a graceful curve without the use of forceps. The graceful look confuses men.

Occurs with quality performance. What about the procedure performed on your own? Benefits of home manipulation:

Saving money.
Gorgeous eyelashes without leaving your home.
Creation of your individual image.
Extension and correction at a convenient time.

Carrying out the procedure at home has its drawbacks. Without experience and skills, it is difficult to get gorgeous and fluffy eyelashes the first time. You need to choose the right length, thickness and evenly distribute them along the eyelid. Otherwise, the eyes will be unnatural. There is a risk of complications and unpleasant consequences associated with the use of glue.

Why you should turn to professionals

Women always want to look stunning. But they do not always know how to correctly achieve the desired effect. Extension at home is a risky undertaking, during which there is a risk of creating non-seductive eyes, doll and unnatural eyelashes.

Long, thick eyelashes are every girl's dream. But the owners of such are very few. Modern lashmakers will come to the rescue. Well, if your financial situation does not allow you to visit a beauty salon, then this article will tell you how to build eyelashes at home on your own.

Tools needed for eyelash extension

The first thing you need for extension is fake eyelashes. According to the extension technology, they can be:

Single (eyelash build-up). The procedure involves gluing artificial eyelash hairs to each of your eyelashes. Such an extension is painstaking, but the result lasts for a long time and the eyelashes look natural.
Bunches. With this technique, pre-made tufts of false eyelashes are attached to the eyelid. The procedure is not as laborious as lash gluing, but it has a drawback - correction may be needed after 2 weeks.

In addition to the cilia themselves, you should take care of the presence of:

degreaser for eyelashes. It does not irritate the eyes, removes makeup residues and removes natural grease, contributing to a stronger adhesion of the artificial material to the eyelashes;
glue for eyelashes. For home use, it is best to use a slow-setting glue. So, it will be possible to correct the failed gluing;
two tweezers. Ideally, one with straight ends and the other with curved ends is used.

Eyelash extension process

Having prepared the material for building up and tools, let's get down to the process itself. Please note that good lighting is essential to work. For convenience, place the false eyelashes on a palette or foam rubber in advance in the order of gluing. This will help you not looking for the right hairs. Now to the stages of gluing the cilia.

Treat clean, makeup-free eyelashes with a special degreaser.
Place the glue on glass or a piece of cardboard.
Place a substrate under the eyelashes.
Using tweezers, remove the prepared eyelash (bunch) from the palette. Dip the bottom into the prepared glue.
Gently part your eyelashes, and bring the hair with glue to the selected eyelash base. Run an edge over it to coat with glue and fix the artificial hair without pressure.
Place the edge with artificial hair glue at a distance of 0.5–1 mm from the eyelid skin. Because with closer placement, discomfort and tightness of the eyelid skin may be present. If you place the artificial hair further, then there is a risk of quick breakage and an unnatural look of the eyelashes.
After finishing work on one eyelid, carry out an identical “operation” on the other eye.

What else you need to know about eyelash extension

Today, there are many choices for eyelash hairs. Some lengthen their eyelashes, others add volume, and others use for decoration. Different materials are used to make artificial eyelashes:

Sable is the thickest hair with a diameter of 0.25 mm. They are used for a natural effect and last for about 3 months. They are considered heavy and therefore not recommended for frequent use.
Mink is considered ideal for beginners. The diameter of these hairs is 0.20 mm. They are large enough for work, but they look quite natural.
Columns - differ in diameter from 0.1 to 0.15 mm. The material perfectly keeps the given shape, therefore it is not recommended to sleep “in the pillow with your face” after such a build-up.
Silk - has a diameter of only 0.05 mm. It is quite difficult to work with such material on your own, but the effect of the extension lasts long enough, and the eyelashes have the effect of natural make-up.

Also, eyelashes are divided by length and degree of curl. As for the first indicator, it varies from 4–25 mm. To achieve a natural look, hairs of different lengths are used. Curling the eyelashes helps to visually make the eyes look bigger and the eyelashes longer.

A few words about the care of extended eyelashes

Whichever material and technique you choose for eyelash extension, there are general rules for caring for already enlarged eyelashes.

The first washing after the procedure should be carried out at least 12 hours after sticking the hairs.
For 3-5 days after the extension procedure, you should refuse steam procedures (inhalations), visit a bath or sauna.
It is not recommended to abuse mascara for extended eyelashes. Therefore, keep the use of this make-up to a minimum.

Extending eyelashes at home is quite simple. The main thing is to use quality materials and be patient. It is possible to make a beautiful, expressive look with your own hands. Try it and you will certainly succeed!
