admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:59:24 +0000

We have talked about eyelash extensions in another post of mine. It is a new and semi-permanent way to extend your eyelashes. Most of the people or celebrities may have their eyelashes extended in a professional salon. Of course, that costs quite an amount of money. If you wish to try this new technology at a low cost, you can probably find several brands of home kits available online.

Ardell DuraLash Eyelash Extension Kit
If you are not an eyelash extension professional, you can still get your eyelashes extended at home. You can try this Ardell DuraLash Eyelash Extension Kit which is designed for home use. It is a great product yet simple and inexpensive.

For a full set of this eyelash extension kit, you will find everything you need including easy-to-follow instructions, DuraLash Individual lashes, Adhesive, Remover and Tweezers for easy application. Compared to the eyelash extensions performed in a salon, this kit is much cheaper. It costs you only $15 – $20.

Beyond Beauty Lashes Premium Eyelash Extension Kit
Other than Ardell DuraLash, you may also find this Beyond Beauty Lashes Premium Eyelash Extension Kit available online. This extension kit costs much more than the Ardell DuraLash one at around $80 -$100. The kit includes:

Aluminum Made Beauty Case

It is a more comprehensive kit compared to the Ardell DuraLash. But, the customer feedback for this product is not really good. Users are saying that the instruction is not clear and some of the kit items are missing. Given the price difference, you may wish to try the Ardell DuraLash instead.

There are actually some more brands of eyelashes extension kits like Oasis and Xtended Beauty, available online. As these kits are for home use, their quality varies. You have to be reminded that, there is always risk doing your eyelash extension at home by yourself. Before you actually try the kit on your eyelashes, you may wish to try it on false eyelashes first!

Heated Eyelash Curler

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:30:39 +0000

Eyelash curler is always a good help for your longer and curler eyelashes. 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.

Most of the heated eyelash curlers are actually what we called the electric eyelash curlers. Some of them are in comb shape and some of them are more like the manual eyelash curler. 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. Compared to the manual ones, heated ones are more effective, fast and the curl effect is much more long lasting.

Panasonic Heated Eyelash Curler

You can find two models for Panasonic heated eyelash curler. One is in the normal curler shape one is in comb brush shape.

Panasonic EH2351AC

This model is the comb brush shape one with rechargeable batteries. For this comb feature, you can also curl your lower eyelashes. You can get this product at around $12 – $15 from Amazon. Many users like this model because they think it is a great buy with reasonable price. The heat makes their eyelashes stay curled all day. Also, it is easy to use and clean. Though the instructions say that you should use after mascara, many of the users feel that the curling effect is better if use if before mascar

Panasonic EH2331P

This model unlike the EH2351AC is in the normal curler shape. Users like this product very much as well but rate this one a little bit lower than EH2351AC. This model actually costs a little bit more at around $25-$30 from Amazon. Users commented that their eyelashes stayed curled the whole night! The machine heats up fast in just 15 seconds! Unlike EH2351AC, users recommended to use this model after apply mascara.

Hot Lashes®

Hot Lashes® claims itself as the “Voted Top #1 Heated eyelash curler. Makeup Arists Favorite, the Rolls Royce of eyelash curlers”. It works on its heated, ionic eyelash curling system. When the curler is heated in the ceramic heater, an ionic flow is created with the tourmaline gemstone. This ionic flow softens and curls your eyelashes.

The eyelash curler is heated up in 45 seconds. The design is to ensure only the silicone pad is heated and the rest of the curler remains cool.

The review of this product is extremely good. Almost 100% satisfaction. Some of the users are saying that the curler make their eyes look 5 time bigger. You can buy this at a TV special offer of $29.99 for:

Use Eyelash Curler

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:45:35 +0000

No matter you would like to apply your makeup or not, it is always a good idea to curl your eyelashes. Curling your eyelashes makes your eyes look bigger and brighter. Many of you may be a little bit frightened to use such metal or plastic tool to your delicate eyelashes. You may hear from others that they feel really painful when using the eyelash curlers.

For the normal manual metal or plastic curler, you should follow the following steps:

1. You should clean your eyes as it works best for eyelash curlers. You may apply your eye shadow and eyeliner first but make sure you allow it sometime to dry. Never apply mascara before curling your eyelashes.

2. For metal curler, you can turn on your blow dryer blow the hot air to the curler for 5 -10 second. Feel the metal to see if it is too hot, if not you can use it right now. This action is to make the ordinary metal curler function as the heated eyelash curler. For plastic one, this is not suitable and you can skip this procedure.

3. Prepare yourself with the best eye position for eye lashes to be curled. Look downwards at around 45 degree. If you are not used to such position which hinder you to see your own action. You can put a mirror in front of you and tilt the mirror a little upward to help.

4. You can now open the curler, clamp your eyelashes near the roots. Hold for 10-30 seconds. When I mean hold, you should hold it. Some people clamp for 5-6 times over the 10 seconds, which may not result in better result than just holding it! When you hold the eyelash curler, try to even out your force so that force can be spread from the pad evenly to the eyelashes.

5. After clamping the eyelashes near the roots, move the eyelash curler a bit towards the end of eyelashes and clamp the eyelashes again at the middle part (the middle between the end and the roots). This procedure is taught by the makeup professional!

6. (You do not need to curl the lower lashes!).

7. Open your curler and then remove it!

8. Repeat on the other eye.

A final reminder is to be very careful as both your eyes and eyelashes are very delicate and fragile! Try the eight steps above immediately to make your eyelashes curler!

How to Apply Fake Eyelashes

admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:51:10 +0000

If you have short, pale and thin eyelashes, mascara can probably give you little help. The simplest solution is False Eyelashes which not only allows you have long and black eyelashes, they can also miraculously make your eyes look bigger! Compared to implantation of eyelashes and eyelashes perm, false eyelashes allow minimal damages to your delicate eyelashes while giving you the best effect.

Step 0: (I assumed you have already chosen your false eyelashes with the best color and type) Before actually doing anything on you eyelashes, you should first clean your eyes thoroughly. If you have oil or other make-up debris on your eyelid or upper lashline, it will be difficult to allow the eyelash glue to work well.

Step 1: Curl your real eyelashes with the eyelash curler. If you find that your real eyelashes actually grow unevenly or hard, you may wish to curl them for several times. Make you your real eyelashes are really curly, so that they look really natural when you have applied you false eyelashes on.

Step 2: Take your fake eyelashes out carefully with your fingers. Hold the two ends of the false eyelashes and bend them for around 10 times to make them soft and look more natural.

Step 3: Most of fal se eyelashes that you can buy from stores are simply too long. You must trim them with respect to the length of you own eyes.

Tips: Trimming them to the length 2-3mm longer than you actual eye length gives you the best effect.

Step 4: Apply a thin layer of eyelash glue to base of the false eyelashes. (Please do not try to apply the glue directly onto your eyelid!) In stead of directly squeezing the eyelash glue onto the false eyelashes, you may wish to use a toothpick.

Tips: You may wish to apply a liitle bit more on the two ends of the false eyelashes as they may fall easily from you eyelid.

Tips: You can at this point bend the fake eyelashes a little bit more (again) to make it softer.

Step 5: Now you need the help with the mirror! Look into the mirror, lift up a bit your eyelid with your fingers. Bring the false eyelashes to your lashline as close as possible, and then apply them from the inner end to the outer end. Press and hold a little bit during the applying.

Tips: If you find the two ends fall, you can use toothpick to help apply more glue onto the false eyelashes.

Step 6: Look into the mirror again and adjust a bit the false eyelashes to make them look good and natural just before the glue has completely dried up.

Tips: It is best to have your mirror at your eye level and fix your elbow joint on the table.

Finally, hold the eyelashes (especially the two ends) for a little longer (around 30 seconds) when the false eyelashes have been finished applying.

Step 7: To embellish you false eyelashes, you may wish to curl your false eyelashes and your real eyelashes together at the same time, apply your eyeliner and even mascara (optional).

General Tips for Trimming and Applying False Eyelashes

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:26:53 +0000

Your false eyelashes look great when you have just bought them, but they are just too great that they look unnatural and you should never try to apply them without trimming.

The first thing to remember when you trim the false eyelashes is to make sure the fake eyelashes for you left and right eyes should be the same in thickness. You can even use only half-piece of the false eyelashes buy cutting them into two. You can put the trimmed fake eyelashes on every part like the outer corner or the center of your lashline of your eyes to enhance your eye look. Two simple tips:

If you want to have your eyes looked closer to each other, apply only part of the piece of the false eyelashes.
If you want to have your eyes looked apart, apply only part of the piece of the false eyelashes at the outer corner.

To apply your false eyelashes naturally, take a look at the following tips:

As the ends of the false eyelashes are easy to fall, so use a little bit more glue on the base of the false eyelashes ends.
Let no glue get onto the false eyelashes (except the base).
The glue on the false eyelashes works the best when it is nearly dry, so roughly wait for around 20 (depends on your type of eyelash glue) seconds.
Just nearly the glue is on the false eyelashes base is going to dry, pull a little the false eyelashes to make it softer.
Look into the mirror, adjust the angle of the false eyelashes before you actually applied them.
Apply the false eyelashes to the upper lashline as close as possible.
Use your hands to hold the false eyelashes for around 30 seconds (depends on your type of eyelash glud) after you have just applied.
If you find the ends falling, that means the glue is not enough, you can use the toothpick to dip some glue and apply them onto the ends, then apply the false eyelashes again.
We normally do not have eyelasehes grown at the inner corner, when applying the false eyelashes, leave 1mm space for the inner corner.

REMEMBER! The glue works best when it is nearly dry and if you apply the false eyelasehes at this right time, the glue is colorless and that gives you the best effect. If you apply the eyelashes too early before the glue is nearly dry, it is very difficult to get the false eyelashes sticked to the upper lashline. When you repeat the procedures again several times as the eyelashes fall, the glue can become white, and then you must put on your eyeliner to cover.

General Tips for Using False Eyelashes

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:49:52 +0000

If your eyelashes are short and pale, you may find mascara cannot give you the glamorous look that you want, and therefore, false eyelashes are your good friends which allow you to have a subtle change or even a dramatic change.

Before applying the false eyelashes, the most important procedure is to choose the best false eyelashes for yourself. Type and color are the two main factors that you should consider.

Choice of false eyelashes

There are many different types, different length and different colors of false eyelashes that you can buy. Which one you should choose?

The most common three types of false eyelashes, including the ones with the false eyelashes are in parallel, the ones that the false eyelashes are crossed and the ones with sequin, etc. As normally, you do not want it too obvious that you are wearing false eyelashes, so it is always best for you to choose thickness that is similar to your real eyelashes unless you are going to a party where you are expecting to have an exaggerated look.

Make sure your eye make up matches what you wear. For example, never wear a thick exaggerated eyelashes when you are in a dark formal shift dress.

The most common colors of false eyelashes no doubt are black and brown with other colorful false eyelashes getting more and more popular. Like the type of false eyelashes, you r choice of color should be similar to your real eyelashes.

Embellish you false eyelashes

When you have applied false eyelashes above your eyelashes, you should use mascara for the lower lashes in order to get the same tone。 Or, you can choose to use eyeliner pencil to draw the unobvious shadow of the lower lashes and spread with your fingertips a little bit.

False eyelashes care

Many of the fake eyelashes are actually reusable (5-8 times) but unluckily they are frail and fragile, so you must handle them with care or you will have to buy new ones very often, which cost you. Here are some tips for taking good care of you false eyelashes:

When you take it out from the box, never try to hold it from the base.
Take it out with your fingers gently in the direction of the eyelashes.
When you take the fake eyelashes off from your eyes, hold the middle part of the false eyelashes and pull them slightly but quickly.
Never try to hold just two or three piece s of eyelashes.

Before you have put them back into the box, you should clean them thoroughly all the glue or adhesive, eye shadow, and Mascara from the false eyelashes or otherwise they will be easily broken and of course filthy.
