From early morning to late night: The secret to long-lasting makeup on false eyelashes

False eyelashes are a "miracle tool" that enlarges the eyes and enhances the delicacy of makeup, but removing makeup, curling up edges, and shifting can often be embarrassing. Want to make false eyelashes beautiful from morning till late at night? Master these key skills and easily achieve long-lasting charm 24/7!

1、 Preparation before makeup: lay a solid foundation for "protracted battle"

The firmness of false eyelashes starts from every step before applying them.

1. Clean the eye area

Use a mild cleanser or makeup remover cotton dipped in a small amount of makeup remover to thoroughly remove the oil around the eyes, residual eye shadow or eye black. Oil can weaken the stickiness of glue, causing false eyelashes to easily fall off.

2. Curl up real eyelashes

Use a eyelash curler to gently clip the eyelashes upwards from the base three times (at the base, middle, and tip), allowing the true eyelashes to naturally curl upwards. If the real eyelashes droop, they are easily crushed when applying false eyelashes, which affects their durability.

3. Brush eyelash primer

Apply a thin layer of transparent or white mascara (preferably with fiber) on the real eyelashes, and wait for them to dry before applying the false eyelashes. Primer can increase the hardness of eyelashes, provide support for false eyelashes, and prevent delamination between real and false eyelashes.

2、 Adhesive selection and use: details determine success or failure

The quality and application method of glue directly affect the firmness of false eyelashes.

1. Choose glue based on skin type

Oily eyelids: Choose "quick drying" or "oil resistant" adhesives, which have fast film formation, strong adhesion, and can resist oil secretion.

Dry/sensitive skin: Priority should be given to "mild" or "transparent and colorless" adhesives to reduce the risk of irritation.

2. The amount of glue used should be moderate

Take an appropriate amount of glue (about the size of a grain of rice) and apply it evenly to the false eyelash stem, covering from the head to the tail of the eye. Pay special attention to not applying too little glue to the head and tail of the eye.

Too thick glue is prone to clumping and whitening; If it is too thin, the viscosity will be insufficient and it is easy to curl the edges.

3. Wait for the glue to "semi dry" before sticking

After applying the glue, let it sit for 10-15 seconds (you can lightly touch the glue with your fingers, it feels slightly sticky but not sticky to your hands). At this time, the glue has the strongest adhesion and is more firmly attached. If pasted immediately, the glue may not completely evaporate, making it easy to slide or shift.

3、 Paste technique: precise positioning, natural integration

The correct pasting technique can make false eyelashes blend seamlessly with real eyelashes.

1. Paste from the head of the eye

Use tweezers to hold the false eyelashes in the middle, align them with the base of the real eyelashes (try to be close to the eyelids, but do not press them), fix the eye head first, and then adjust the position of the eye tail. The head and tail of the eyes are the most prone areas for false eyelashes to fall off, and it is necessary to ensure that the glue fully contacts the skin.

2. Lightly press and fix to avoid floating

After pasting, gently press the false eyelash stem with tweezers or cotton swabs, repeating the pressure 2-3 times from the head to the tail of the eye to ensure that the glue is tightly attached to the skin. If there is a gap between the false eyelashes and the true eyelashes, you can use eye black to brush it gently to make the true and false eyelashes naturally interweave.

3. Eye tail reinforcement to resist friction

During parties, sports, or prolonged wearing of makeup, the corners of the eyes are prone to detachment due to blinking, rubbing, or rubbing. A little extra glue can be applied at the end of the eye, or the gap between the false eyelashes and the skin can be filled with a black eyeliner pen, which is both firm and natural.

4、 Makeup and touch up: 24/7 "lock in" false eyelashes

Makeup is the key to lasting, while touch ups can cope with sudden loss of makeup.

1. Powder "sealing layer"

After applying the false eyelashes, use a small powder brush dipped in transparent powder and gently sweep around the eye area (including the false eyelash stem). Loose powder can absorb excess oil, prevent glue from melting due to oil leakage, and make eye makeup more matte and long-lasting.

2. Avoid oily eye makeup products

Eye shadow and eyeliner pencil should be in powder or matte texture as far as possible, and oily paste products (such as eye shadow cream and eyeliner glue) should be avoided. Oil will penetrate into the false eyelash stem, weakening the adhesive strength. If it is necessary to use a paste like product, you can first use loose powder as a base and then apply a small amount.

3. Carry glue and tweezers with you at all times

When wearing makeup for a long time, false eyelashes may slightly curl due to sweating, friction, or aging glue. Keep a small stick of glue (such as a portable device) and tweezers with you. If you notice curled edges, gently lift the false eyelashes with tweezers, apply a little more glue, and then press to fix them.

5、 Makeup removal and maintenance: treated gently to extend lifespan

Proper makeup removal and maintenance can make false eyelashes reusable while protecting the health of real eyelashes.

1. Dissolve the adhesive with makeup remover oil

Take an appropriate amount of makeup remover oil (or olive oil) and apply it around the eyes. Gently massage the false eyelash stem with fingertips to fully dissolve the adhesive. Avoid pulling the false eyelashes directly, otherwise it may cause the real eyelashes to fall off and even lead to sagging eyelids.

2. Gently remove from the end of the eye

Use tweezers to hold the tail of the false eyelashes and slowly remove them along the direction of eyelash growth (from the tail to the head). If you feel significant resistance, it indicates that the glue has not completely dissolved and you need to continue massaging for a while.

3. Cleaning and Preservation

After removing the false eyelashes, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover or alcohol swab to gently wipe off any remaining glue on the stem. Put the fake eyelashes back into the original box (or fix them on a clean tissue with an eyelash curler) to avoid deformation. Before reuse, use a small comb to comb the eyelashes and restore their fluffy texture.

conclusion

The durability of false eyelashes is the comprehensive result of pre makeup preparation, glue selection, pasting techniques, setting and repairing, and makeup removal and maintenance. From early morning to late night, it only takes an extra 3 minutes to do these details well, and you can firmly "weld" the false eyelashes on your eyes, accompanying you to confidently deal with every moment. Remember: Beauty does not require compromise, persistence and refinement can be achieved at the same time!
