Add Glamour to Your Eyelashes
Eyelashes can look thicker with skillfully applied mascara. A little practice is what you need. First of all, take good care of your lashes to protect their natural beauty. At night, use a cleansing gel and cotton wool to remove eye make-up gently. For upper lashes, put cleanser on cotton wool and wrap it around your index finger. Brush through the lashes from underneath. To remove mascara from the lower lashes, use a cotton bud with a little cleanser on it.
For eyelash make-up choose good quality mascara. Roll-on mascara is easy to apply. You need a small brush, to brush out the lashes, after applying mascara. Remember to change your roll-on mascara after 3 to 4 months and definitely within 6 months.
Apply less mascara; too much of it will make the lashes stick together. Using a hand mirror, look downwards into it. Then, apply it in two or three light coats, using upward strokes for the upper lashes and downward strokes for the lower lashes. Wait for the first coat to dry and then apply the second one. After applying the final coat and letting it dry, brush out the lashes to separate them.
Apply a little powder on the eyelashes between coats of mascara to make them appear thicker.
For false eyelashes, you will need a small tweezers, small hand mirror and special adhesive, which comes with the eyelashes. To remove the lashes, pull it off gently, holding them from the outer corners. Clean the lashes with cleansing gel to remove make-up. Keep them in a box.
The latest in eye glamour are eyelash extensions. They are attached on natural eyelashes, one by one to make the lashes look thicker. A trained beautician has to attach them. It’s up to you to decide how thick you want your lashes to be. The eyelash extensions may last for about 3 weeks to a month and then you will have to get them done again. Basically, the eyelash extensions are synthetic strands that are specially curved to look like natural eyelashes. If you apply mascara, use the water-based kind.
To improve the growth and health of sparse and brittle lashes, apply a little castor oil with a cotton bud on lashes only during the day. Wipe off with cotton wool after 15 minutes. Avoid applying at night and going to sleep, as it can lead to puffy eyes.
