The tiny delicate hairs of your eyelashes
protect your eyes; hence care should be taken to maintain them very well.
General tips for everyday I lash care:
• Thoroughly clean your face including the eye
area before going to bed every night.
• Use cleansers specially recommended for eyes
or even baby oil and clean the eyes gently with the sponge to remove any dust
or makeup.
• Use vaseline to moisturize the eyelashes and
improve its health. Make sure that it does not enter the eyes.
• Avoid plucking or waxing the eyelash area.
• Never use soap on to clean your eyelashes.
I lash curling:
• Curling your eyelashes makes it seem longer
and also make the eyes look bright and larger.
• Clean the lashes before using the eyelash
curler. Clam the curler down firmly and close the base for about 5 seconds and
then release it gently.
• Replace eyelash curlers every 2 – 3 months if
you use on a regular basis. You would reduce the possibilities of infection and
contamination drastically.
• You can use a hair dryer under the curler but
make sure that the hot air does not strain the eyelashes or burn it due to
excessive heat.
Primer:
• This is used on the eyelashes before applying
makeup. It makes the tiny hairs look thicker and longer.
• The primer is usually a white colour liquid
and may be available separately or come with mascara.
• You need to necessarily wipe the wand with a
clean tissue before applying the cream to the lashes.
• For best results, start at the base as close
as possible to the eye lid and then give a zigzag motion upwards till the end
of the lashes.
• The lashes have to be fully coated with the
primer and become dry before applying the rest of the makeup.
Eyeliner:
• Applying the right colour eyeliner on the
outer rim of the eyelid make the lashes seem longer.
• Never apply it in the inner part that touches
the eye as the chemicals used may cause irritation.
• Use the eyeliner sparingly as a thin line as
close as possible to the base of the lashes.
Mascara:
• The mascara wand should be cleaned with a
tissue before applying to the lashes. This would avoid clumping of the liquid
while applying.
• You can apply at least two coats of mascara
for best results. The first coat should become fully dry before you apply the
next.
• An eyelash comb on the final coat will give
the necessary finishing touch. An eyelash comb removes excess makeup and clumps
on the lashes and makes it look more defined.
• Use waterproof mascara to strengthen
eyelashes.
Dyeing eyelashes:
• In case you want to dye your eyelashes,
contact a professional instead of trying it on your own.
Fake I lashes:
• Make sure that you use good quality eyelash
extensions and ensure that you are not allergic to the eyelashes.
• Remove your eyelash extensions and the makeup
when not necessary.
• Fake eyelashes should be removed by dissolving
the adhesive in baby oil or vaseline.
