The right choice of glue
Almost everything depends on the quality of the adhesive - strength, safety for health, beauty.
A glue bottle is usually included with the set of false eyelashes. However, far from always such an adhesive solution will be safe for health. Since in most cases this liquid contains cheap and rather harmful ingredients. They can cause allergic reactions. Therefore, those whose skin is too sensitive, prone to inflammation, swelling, redness, it is better not to risk it and try not to use the glue from the kit.
In addition, a very unpleasant incident very often happens when the glue in the container from the kit is dry. Unfortunately, manufacturers consider the quality of its packaging not so important.
In the beauty salon, the makeup artist will never use such products. But at home, the glue from the kit should first be checked before applying to the eyelashes.
The best thing, of course, is to choose professional glue, which is sold separately, moreover, of a worthy company, and therefore of excellent quality. Let it cost more, but there will be a guarantee that there will be no unpleasant incident at the most inopportune moment.
There are two types of glue:
- Transparent
- The black
Transparent glue is suitable for inexperienced home make-up artists, errors will be completely invisible. In liquid form, this glue has a white color, but when dried it becomes completely transparent.
The use of black glue is justified when it is necessary to emphasize the contour of the eyes. You need to work with him very carefully.

When a useful skill is mastered, the process will be quick and even enjoyable. Because it is so wonderful to watch in the reflection of the mirror how magically your eyes are transformed!
Selection Criteria
Despite the fact that manufacturers' ads are so diligently trying to attract our attention, endowing them with enchanting product names: “mink”, “sable”, “silk” false eyelashes.
In fact, the materials that are used to make false eyelashes are always artificial, there are no natural ones.
Although their quality is slightly different.
- Silk eyelashes are designed for evening makeup. They differ in strong gloss, villi are more voluminous in thickness.
- Sable can be used for both daytime and evening makeup, as they are thick and fluffy.
- "Mink" - thin, delicate, more like real, so it looks better in the afternoon.
In appearance, false eyelashes are:
- Ribbon - as the name implies, the villi are attached to a single ribbon, which must be applied over your own eyelashes. This is the most convenient option for beginners. However, it does not look quite natural, so it is better to use it in evening makeup.
- Incomplete eyelids are eyelashes that are applied closer to the outer corner of the eye. They give special expression to the look that professionals call "fox." It is also more suitable for evening makeup or a special occasion, for example, a date.
- Tufted - these false eyelashes can be used in a variety of makeup options, because their density and distribution throughout the eyelid can be controlled. Tufted villi in their appearance are very similar to real ones, since they are attached directly to the roots of their own eyelashes.
How to stick
In order to properly stick eyelashes, you must first read the instructions that came with the product. It may mention special nuances that are inherent in this particular type of false eyelashes and the material from which they are made.
Tape eyelashes
The tape with the villi needs to be prepared - cut the length, cleanse the skin of the eyelids with a lotion to remove makeup to remove fat.
Ribbon eyelashes are applied on top of your own eyelashes, just above the roots.
It will be most convenient to use tweezers.
- First, use a eyeliner pencil to draw a line on the eyelid, along which you should navigate at the time of eyelash gluing. It is better not to use liquid eyeliner, it can be ugly smeared when glue is applied to it.
- Use a hair dryer to heat the eyelash curlers and then press the villi so that they form a beautiful bend. However, sometimes this is not required, false eyelashes can already be quite well curled.
- Before applying glue, the tape with the villi should be slightly warmed in the hands for elasticity and give it a semicircular shape with your fingers, so that it is more convenient to apply to the eyelid.
- Then you need to carefully apply glue with a brush to the tape with cilia. Do not stick immediately, you should wait a bit so that the glue dries out slightly, becomes more viscous.Then you do not need to wait long for drying, holding an already glued ribbon.
- Apply false eyelashes to the eyelid. With gentle movements, using a cotton swab, it is easy to draw along the tape from the center to the edges of the eye. Then quickly blink several times to feel whether there is any discomfort, whether the length of the eyelashes and the ribbon is suitable. Allow the glue to dry, and then check its reliability with a cotton swab.
- Small errors can be masked with liquid eyeliner when the glue is completely dry.
- Easy to tint eyelashes with mascara.
Bunches
First, it is worth determining which part of the eyelid should be glued additional cilia. The length of the villi can, if necessary, be slightly corrected with the help of manicure scissors. Beams are always glued from the outer edge of the eyelid.
- Grab a bunch of eyelashes with tweezers, a brush or a toothpick and apply a little glue to its “roots”.
- Wait for the glue to dry slightly.
- Pull the eyelid and attach the bundle to the growth line of your own eyelashes.
- Hold the beam for thirty seconds, securely locking with forceps.
- Check how well the false eyelashes are glued by pulling them slightly at the tips.
- Repeat the procedure.
Decorative
Decorative false eyelashes are designed for bright evening make-up or a special occasion - a wedding, New Year's holiday, carnival, etc. They are decorated with sequins and rhinestones, feathers and tiny beads.
Decorative eyelashes are glued in the same way as ordinary eyelashes, it all depends on what type they are - tape or bunches. However, it is more reliable to fix them, since additional jewelry has more weight, this must be taken into account.
You can also add decorativeness to ordinary false eyelashes by gluing jewelry and rhinestones to already dried-up villi. Using a toothpick, glue is applied directly to the decorative element, and then gently laid on the villi. Rhinestones are best placed closer to the eyelid.
False Eyelash Life
False eyelashes hold well only one day.
This property fundamentally distinguishes them from those that are built up in beauty salons for a long time.
Service life depends on several factors. First of all, the quality of the eyelashes themselves and especially the glue. Carefully follow the rules set forth in the product manual. In order for eyelashes to successfully last as long as possible, you need to choose really high-quality products from well-known companies that have already proven themselves.
However, it’s not worth buying new eyelashes every day, it is too expensive for the family budget. False eyelashes can be well cleaned of glue, eyeliner and mascara with makeup remover. And then use repeatedly.
If the lotion is not able to remove glue from the cilia, then you can gently pick up the frozen film with tweezers and separate it from the tape or villi. In extreme cases, rinse with a soft toothbrush soaked in soapy water.
Then wipe the eyelashes with a moist cotton pad and let them dry. In no case should you blow dry with a hairdryer, since the material will quickly become brittle, and the fibers will begin to crumble. And after drying, be sure to put it into the case so that they always remain clean.
Precautionary measures
In order for glued eyelashes to last as long as possible, you need to follow some precautions. First of all, try not to get exposed to rain or snow. Strong winds are also contraindicated. High air humidity - steam in the room - may not have the best effect on your makeup.
Cosmetics containing fatty oils should also be avoided, as they can quickly dissolve glue. And, of course, do not wash, do not rub your eyes, put on a sweater with a narrow neck before gluing eyelashes.
The weather is too hot, the beach sun will not contribute to the successful operation of cilia. Because skin secretions will not allow the glue to hold out for a long time.
How to take off at home?
The glue, for the manufacture of which the resins were used, must be removed only with the help of a special solution.
In other cases, castor oil can be used at home. Only you need to act very carefully so that in no case the solution or oil gets into your eyes. You can not pull the glued villi strongly, because this can damage the skin.

First, a cotton swab dipped in castor oil should be held in the place on the eyelid where the glue was applied. Then you need to wait a few minutes for the adhesive to begin to dissolve. Then with a cotton swab with oil, wipe the skin of the eyelids again and carefully remove the tape with the villi or a bunch of eyelashes.
If you can’t remove your eyelashes the first time, you can hold your face quite a bit above the steam.
Do not forget about your own eyelashes, so after removing the artificial ones, you should remove the oil using a special cosmetic product. Then blot the eyelids with a napkin or clean cloth.
Often wearing false eyelashes is not worth it, since glue can dry the skin of the eyelids and hairs.
Your eyelashes can become fragile and begin to fall out, which is extremely undesirable. Nevertheless, natural beauty is the main wealth that can be replaced with nothing, and sometimes it can not be restored.
