Eyelashes are small hairs which are attached to the top and bottom eyelids and are very soft and very small. Here’s some information about eyelashes which you might be interested in if you are interested in eyelashes being extended. The eyelids act as a shield with the eyelashes an extra barrier which is used to help keep out any dirt and other unwanted things from your eyes as we know the eyes are one of if not THE most delicate part of the body and one we want to keep intact.

You can have your eyelashes made longer

For years us women have just different techniques to make your eyes and eyelashes stand out more as many women get told “they have lovely eyes” when really its the ‘eyelashes’ which make them stand out. Methods to make the eyes more prominent have been going on for hundreds of years starting when make up came on the scene used to make the eyes the focal point, the extension of eyelashes coming alot later. Eyelashes were first extended by the old full sets of fake eyelashes that came in strips looking like sets of eyelashes that were then made to stay on the eyelashes with eyelash glue.

These eyelash extension methods were somewhat short in life with the extensions only staying untill the next day with the treatment being very much a quick solution for a big night out. These false eyelashes are still available to this day that help you to extend your eyelashes and some people will use nothing else for certain looks that cannot be made with the new eyelash extensions we have today. False eyelashes are made in one particular style but some of the styles made would not ever succeed on real eyelashes because they are too complex. These eyelashes are used mainly for a night out where the party goer wants a different colour or a mad style that they would never wear to the shops but looks extravagant on a night out with the girls.

Types of fake eyelashes

There are so many different types of fake eyelashes available that you are simply spoilt for choice with even ‘Girls Aloud’ getting in on the action with their own Eylure range. Now eyelashes don’t have such a tough time getting ruined underneath big strips of imitation eyelashes that were meant to be attached to the eyelashes in one go, now it’s more sophisticated. Now on top of synthetic eyelashes you have feather eyelashes and mink eyelashes to name a few of the more high end fashion choices for eyelash extension products.

Eyelash extensions nowaday’s are semi permanent meaning they will last for as long as humanly possible or when they fall out because you did not treat your eyelashes in the correct manner. One thing with semi permanent eyelash extensions being attached to your eyelashes means you don’t have to wear mascara, ITS NOT NEEDED!! When I say it’s not needed it CAN be used in conjunction but it is not needed and the reason for getting false eyelashes is to look long and natural, not “you got your eyelashes extended I see”? The women of the world seem to have a fascination with extended eyelashes and ever since the first fake eyelashes were unveiled women have used those more and more creating a need to make them better and giving us a much better eyelash products in turn.

Other options to extend your eyelashes

Other options for extending your eyelashes are things like eyelash tinting and eyelash perming which can both work as well if not better than other ways to extend your eyelashes. Eyelash Perming, as the name suggests, is a way to extend your eyelashes by giving them a perm. If you have long eyelashes already and when you get eyelash extensions you only get them slightly extended, eyelash perming may be perfect for you and you might save a bit of money. Eyelash tinting is another way making your eyelashes look longer and if you have light coloured eyelashes you might get as much benefit as someone with long eyelashes and eyelash perming.

I hope we have given enough info about eyelashes and showed you every way to extend your eyelashes so you can make better choices when getting your eyelashes extended.

Eyelash Extensions? How to Make Your Eyelashes Look Longer Without Fake Extensions

If you’ve always wanted glamorous eyelashes but have no interest in wearing eyelash extensions, you’ll be pleased to learn that there are several simple things you can do to have those long luxurious lashes you’ve always dreamt of having.

Caring for Your Eyelashes

Having long, full eyelashes starts with the proper care of those tiny, delicate hairs that help to protect the eyes. First, be sure to thoroughly clean the face, including the eye area before going to bed each night. Use a cleanser that’s intended for use on the eyes, or even simple baby oil, provided you aren’t wearing eyelash extensions, along with a soft pad or a few cotton balls and gently clean the eyes until no makeup remains.

Curling Your Eyelashes

Curling the eyelashes just doesn’t make the lashes seem longer, but it also helps to make the eyes appear larger and brighter. Using a basic eyelash curler on clean lashes, clamp the curler down firmly and close to the base of the eyelashes for about five seconds before releasing gently. While you can spend extra money on an eyelash curler that’s heated in order to set the curl more, you can achieve the same effect simply by using your hair dryer, pointing it toward the clamp part of the curler for a few seconds, taking care not to overheat and run the risk of breaking or burning the lashes.

Using Primer

Primer just isn’t for the walls before you use paint as another type of primer is also used on the eyelashes before applying makeup to make them seem both longer and thicker. Eyelash primer is usually white in color and comes either as a separate product, or along with mascara. Less is more when using primer so be sure to gently wipe the wand on a clean tissue before applying to the lashes. When using primer, it’s important to start at the base of the lashes, as close to the lid as possible, and then making a zigzag motion upward toward the ends of the lashes for the best effect. Don’t forget to make sure the tips of the eyelashes are amply coated in primer as well, allowing it to fully dry before applying the rest of your makeup.

Applying Eye Makeup

Mascara isn’t the only type of eye makeup that helps the lashes to appear longer. Using the right color eyeliner that’s applied properly, which is on the outer rim of the eyelid, never the inner part that touches the eye, will also help to make the eyelashes seem longer and fuller. Also, use eyeliner sparingly and keep the line thin and as close to the base of the lashes as possible to bring them together, making them appear thicker.

Much like when using primer, gently wipe the mascara wand before applying to the lashes to avoid clumping and having flecks of makeup fall down onto the cheeks. Apply two coats of your favorite mascara, allowing the first coat to fully dry before putting on the second, and then finish the look with an eyelash comb. Using the little comb helps to separate the lashes, removes clumps and excess bits of makeup, and makes the eyelashes seem even more defined.

By following these few simple tips, you can enjoy long, luxurious eyelashes without ever needing to deal with the hassles, not to mention the expense, of wearing fake eyelash extensions.

Eyelash Extensions – Get Long, Sexy, Luscious Eyelashes!

All women want long, sexy, luscious lashes and, in today’s world, there is no reason why you can’t. In just a couple of hours it is possible to have eyelash extensions applied and this allows people with weak, thinning or shorter lashes to experience beautiful full lashes all the time without the hassle of daily maintenance.

Eyelash extensions are applied to each individual lash through the use of natural glue like substance being placed on the base of the lash and the synthetic lash being secured. Eyelash extensions are available in a variety of colors, thicknesses and lengths so that you can decide on the perfect style for your personal needs. In general, each eye will receive about 100 lashes and it takes about 2 hours to application time. These will last for an average of 4-6 weeks, though it is necessary to return to the technician at weekly intervals to have the new lashes touched up, as your natural lashes fall out, the extension will go with them.

Most eyelash extensions will cost between $150 and $300 while the touch up sessions can cost about $100 on average. The price includes all the services of the technician as well as the tools and chemicals needed for the application. In order for extensions to stay as long as they can, rubbing the eyes should be avoided as well as any oil based make ups and cleansers. These will sometimes react with the glue and loosen the hold on the extensions causing them to fall off prematurely.

There are certain situations in which it is not advised for people to get eyelash extensions for health reasons. Anyone who has been under general anaesthetic, had any form of surgery, or given birth should not have extensions for at least a year, it is important to consult a physician before having eyelash extensions applied if you have a thyroid, skin or blood disorder so as to make sure that the chemicals will not interact and cause further complications.

In order to make sure that you get the best possible experience, it is advised to go for a consultation before committing to a certain technician and making sure that they are well licensed and work in a clean and safe environment. Once the criteria have all been met, the investment of a small amount of time and money can then result in a very rewarding and uplifting way for many people who wish to have thicker, fuller and darker lashes without the hassle of daily maintenance.
