Even though you are saying that you can use false eyelashes or mascara, you still need eyelash curler to make them more natural. There are many different eyelash curlers out there in the market. Instead of the ordinary or basic one, it is now more popular to use heated eyelash curlers.

By using the heated eyelash curlers, eyelashes can be made to be curler by the heat and therefore much less pain compared to the harder action on the manual ones.

Eyelash Growth

admin — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 08:57:44 +0000

Every woman wants long eyelashes as they make your eyes look attractive. But unlike your hairs, you seldom notice that your eyelashes growth. Luckily, people in the west usually have longer and thicker eyelashes. It is sometimes really sad for Asian people to have shorter and thinner eyelashes. But because of that, the Asian people have discovered many different natural and cheap methods to grow their eyelashes. Let us share the idea of using fish liver oil as eyelash growth products!

Fish Liver Oil
The growth principles for eyelashes and eyebrow are the same as your hair. The most important point is nutrients. Vitamin A and E are the essential elements for hair growth. It is recommended by a friend who is a doctor that by using Vitamin A & E complex, you can get your eyelashes and eyebrows grow. The simplest way to get the Vitamin A & E complex is the fish liver oil. Apply fish liver oil onto eyelashes and eyebrows can help them grow in a short period of time.

Prepare two pills of fish liver oil. Use a sharp scissors or whatever to cut a small opening. Use a lip brush to apply to your eyebrow and a cotton bud to apply to the root of your eyelashes. Apply twice a day.

Around a week, you can notice your eyelashes are thicker on the whole. You can also see young eyelashes going out. You will also find your eyelashes stronger than before. They are not so easily shed off when you have your makeup removal.

Around a month, you can significantly notice that your eyelashes are stronger, longer and curler. Some users are saying that they notice their eyelashes grow around 3 – 4 mm. Eyelashes become even thicker and the newly grown eyelashes are thicker too. The lower eyelashes are longer. You do not need a heavy eye and eyebrow makeup anymore!

Drawbacks
Though fish liver oil is effective, it has some drawbacks. As such liver oils are mainly for eating purpose, it is actually really oil to the thin and sensitive skin around the eye areas. If you apply too much, you may discover fat granules around your eyes.

As you have to clean your eyes before applying the fish liver oil, too much cleaning may cause your eye skin to be dry and sensitive. Therefore, you should not apply more than twice and 6 pills a day.

Eyelash Extensions

To lengthen and thicken your eyelashes, you can have more choices than false eyelashes. Most commonly it is called eyelash extension. Eyelash extension is different from just applying fake eyelashes. It is using synthetic single fiber polyester thread-like materials to apply to your eyelashes to make them look longer and thicker.

Unlike false eyelashes, you can wear eyelashes extensions when you are sleeping or even swimming. You do not have to take it off every day during your makeup removal. Eyelash extensions look and feel very natural. You do not need to apply mascara on it. It can normally last for around 3 weeks to 3 months. Therefore, it requires touch up for the fallen ones. Many of the celebrities are wearing eyelashes extension, too.

As eyelash extension is not as simple as applying the false eyelashes. It is always better to do it in a salon. The salon has to be certified for eyelash extensions. The technicians should have been well trained. It costs you around $300 – $500 for the first time of eyelash extension and around $75 for touch up. A touch up is required around 2-4 weeks. The whole process takes an average of 2 hours. The beautician carefully applies the synthetic fibers with tweezers and a bonding agent. You just have to lie down comfortably and relaxingly.

Though there are many choices of eyelash extensions like the exaggerated one of red and green, most people prefer the black ones. The black ones look so natural and it is convenient and time saving for those who are busy working.
