Happy owners of dark, long, lush eyelashes can easily skip the step of applying mascara. The rest of us have to rely on makeup. Alas, our main weapon often turns against us: it is applied in lumps, crumbles, and smears. And as soon as we manage to tame the next new product, it dries right in the tube. It’s not for nothing that tons of instructions have been written on how to properly apply mascara and so much more on how to wash it off. Luckily, ELLE knows other ways to get the lashes of your dreams.
False eyelashes
Pros: A way to add zest, or even spice, to an image. You just need to collect a collection of all kinds of options: tape, beam and single eyelashes different lengths, density, color, from a variety of materials (from lace to feathers). At proper care and storage, they will all last up to five uses. And they are easier to remove than waterproof mascara.
Minuses: Like mascara, false eyelashes can be expensive or cheap. Even using the second option, it is unlikely that you will be able to save on them, given their short shelf life. To master the technique of gluing eyelashes (especially individual ones) you will need a lot of time, which is so little in the morning. But if successful, they may look unnatural, especially in daylight.
Eventually: A good option for parties, but not for every day. Especially if you gravitate toward natural makeup or work in an office with a strict dress code. The rest of the time, swinging a brush with mascara is still faster, and the result is more reliable.
Eyelash extensions
Pros: Eyelash extensions look more natural than false eyelashes and last longer. After spending an hour in the salon on the procedure, you can not think about mascara for a whole month. Suitable for both those with sensitive eyes and contact lenses. And a specialist will help you choose the option that is most suitable for you.
Minuses: With eyelash extensions, you should not rub your eyes, you need to wash your face and remove makeup (especially eye shadow) very carefully, and do not sleep with your face in the pillow. Otherwise, you will quickly part with them. The procedure requires regular repetition and updating.
Eventually: A good long-term way to quit mascara if you don't mind the cost and the need for monthly upgrades. An excellent choice for holidaymakers and brides, so as not to worry about mascara smudges while swimming or from tears of joy.
Eyelash tinting
Pros: Coloring is recommended for girls not only with light eyelashes, but also dark ones (often the tips fade with age or fade in the sun). You will need to spend less time on the procedure than on a business lunch, and the same amount of money, that is, less than on mascara. You will have to visit the salon twice a month.
Minuses: This method does not add real length, thickness and volume to short and sparse eyelashes, creating only the appearance. You may have to combine coloring with mascara or stay true to the beauty product. And of course, don't try this at home.
Eventually: The technique is ideal for owners of long light eyelashes.
Eyelash growth products
Pros: Special conditioners, serums, gels, and oils promise a significant increase in the length, thickness and thickness of eyelashes. In addition to the hit burdock and other natural oils (coconut, almond), coral and plant extracts, proteins, vitamins, active molecules and secret complexes are added to the products. They need to be applied once or twice a day along the growth line or on the eyelashes themselves.
Minuses: After applying the growth enhancer, you need to wait at least half an hour before applying eye cream so that they do not inadvertently become covered with hair. The result will not come earlier than after 3-4 months and will not be as obvious as eyelash extensions. The effect is canceled as soon as you stop using the product.
Eventually: An affordable option, however, without the wow effect.
Bioperm
Pros: The curler effectively curls even the straight eyelashes of Japanese women. It is not surprising that the procedure was invented in the Land of the Rising Sun. If your eyelashes are thin, short, growing downwards or in different directions, a bio-perm will fix everything in half an hour. A special composition is applied to the eyelashes (it is suitable for allergy sufferers and pregnant women) and curled using a small roller. Updates are required every two to three months.
Minuses: The eyelashes do not become longer or thicker, but the curl creates such an appearance, and this is already a lot.
Eventually: If, of all the characteristics for eyelashes, curl is most important to you, this is the procedure for you. To impress everyone, combine this method with coloring.
Emphasis on lips
Pros: If you are against any third-party interference in your appearance, but adore bright lipsticks, take advantage of these circumstances. Makeup artists insist that red, raspberry, and coral lips can do just fine without the support of mascara (but eyebrows will have to be worked on). All attention will be focused on the lower third of the face and no one will notice the “disorder” in the upper part.
Minuses: Eyelashes will remain the same as they were.
Eventually: If you regularly wear luscious lipsticks (or want to try), ditch the mascara and see the results.
Girls should always be beautiful, and their eyes especially. They should be the most expressive, and for this you need not only to paint your eyelashes, you need to know how to use shadows.
