Stepping it up to the next level by applying make-up can be a game changer if done right. So are you ready to get your glamour kitten on and learn the best techniques to pimp your peepers to stunning starlet level? You damn you right you are. In this post, we will give you some winning techniques for applying makeup to your eyes if you have semi-permanent fake lashes.
There are, as in life, a few commandments we must live by for applying makeup with fake lashes.
Thou shall not poke, prod, or fiddle with fake lashes
Fiddling with your lashes is a sure-fire way to irritate your eye, even worse reduce the lifespan of your fake lashes.
Thou shall care for thy lashes
Regular tender loving care will increase the lifespan of your lashes. This involves gentle brushing, filling in any gaps and keeping your lashes looking amazing. Doing this can increase the lifespan of your fake lashes two-fold.
Thou shall not use oil products
Seriously, oil products are a nightmare for fake lashes and should be avoided at all costs. Oil products have the tendency to break down the glue in the fake lashes and cause them to fall out prematurely. Oil-based makeup removers may be great for removing makeup but they are also very effective in removing fake lashes and must be avoided at all costs.
Thou shall not use mascara
This is a tough commandment to adhere to. After receiving your luscious fake lashes, the first thing you want to do is make them appear even more full. Avoid this temptation at all cost. It will make your new lashes clump together and weaken the glue that binds them to your eyelids.
Thou shall not wear waterproof makeup
Waterproof makeup makes you look best in aquatic occasion although it can be difficult to remove. The extra elbow grease used to remove your waterproof make is liable to knock your lashes off. You should be wearing light makeup that is easily removed at the end of the day.
Thou remove excess eye shadow
Wearing too much eye shadow is no good for people with fake lashes. It can get caught up in the extensions and cause irritation to the eyes. Also, try to avoid using eye shadow with glitter. This is a recipe for irritated eyes. If you must ensure that you use it sparingly and remove the excess from the brush before applying.
How to Apply Eye Make-Up
Your lashes are already the star of the show so using excessive eye makeup isn’t necessary. Keep it light and keep it simple. Apply some subtle eye shadow of the eye and create a contour and gradient from outer lid to the inner lid or vice versa. If you want to make a bold statement use contrasting colours or if you want a more natural look use complimenting colours.
You should try going without eyeliner if at all possible. It’s one less thing to worry about when you’re getting ready for a night out. If you must dabble in the eyeliner arts, use a water-based liner. It’s much easier to remove at the end of an evening and your lashes should remain intact. Be gentle in the application and the removal process. Your newfound long lashes can get in the way when your applying you make up and requires extra attention and a steady hand.
If you want to achieve a truly doe-eyed look to compliment your extensions here is how to do it.
Colour the waterline where it meets your eye with a white eye pencil. This creates an optical illusion and makes them appear open. Never use darker colours on the waterline, despite the temptation, as it will make your eyes look recessed, rather than pop, which is the last thing you want to do.
Use a highlight to lighten up the inner corners of the eye. When going for the doe-eyed look it’s all about highlights and lowlight. Highlight the things you want to open up and focus attention on and lowlight things you want to recede. Experimentation is a great thing if you have the time.
Use a layering effect on the upper eye line. I find that using two different colours makes the eyes appear bigger.
Semi-permanent fake lashes are great if you’re going for the doe-eyed superstar look. They do take a little more maintenance and care when applying make out but are totally worth it when you get the results. Adhere to these commandments and makeup training courses application tips and may the windows to your soul be adorned by the most beautiful curtains.
