Put on false eyelashes, choose eyelash extensions or lash lifting?

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Beauty trends in the eye area are now increasingly developing, especially eyelashes.

Not only applying temporary false eyelashes, now those of you who want eyes with thick, curly eyelashes can have them semi-permanently through eyelash extension and lash lifting methods.

What’s the difference and which one is better? eyelash extensions And lash lifting?

Sunny Marsuryani, founder of Your Pretty Lashes and Get Beauty! review the differences between eyelash extensions and lash lifts as follows:

1. Eyelash extensions

 

The eyelash extension method is a technique of connecting false eyelashes to real eyelashes strand by strand using special glue.
Because the work requires precision and is very detailed, it takes two to 2.5 hours to install.

The use of eyelash extensions must be properly maintained so that they do not easily become damaged or fall out, one of which is that they are not allowed to be exposed to water for the first 24 hours of installation.

Do not use eyelash curlers, mascara, eye liner or excess make-up in the eye area.

The durability of eyelash extensions is approximately one month in accordance with the natural cycle of eyelash growth.

2. Lash lifting

According to the literal translation, the lash lifting method is a technique for removing eyelashes.

Lash lifting does not require false eyelashes. Real eyelashes are only smeared with keratin content.

“A lash lift gives a more natural effect than eyelash extensions, but the condition is that you have to have eyelashes. If your eyelashes are very short, you can’t use this method,” said Sunny in Jakarta on Friday.

 

First, the eyelashes are cleaned. Silicon pads are then attached to the eyelids. After that, the eyelashes will be combed upwards until they stick to the silicon pads. After that, start applying keratin to the upper eyelashes so that the eyelashes look curlier and longer.

The lash lifting process takes approximately one hour.

Eyelashes resulting from lash lifting will last up to two months, longer lasting than eyelash extensions.

After treatment, we can still use mascara.

“If the user is the type who is active and often rubs their eyes, it is better to use a lash lift rather than eyelash extensions.”
