Open Your Eyes to Artificial Eyelashes

Eyes attract attention, but make sure it’s the right attention. Tired-looking eyes can deflate a woman’s entire appearance. But wide, bright eyes can shave off years and add vibrancy and drama. And nothing makes eyes look fresher quicker than flare lashes.

Artificial eyelashes are a hot new trend your clients will love. Lash extensions are available in a variety of styles and colors that can take a woman from a natural, everyday look to a luscious thick fringe perfect for a night out. Mastering the technique of how to apply eyelashes widens the services you can offer to your clients.

The ways in which artificial eyelashes can be customized is limited only by your imagination. Flare lashes give a soft, natural look when interspersed between natural eyelashes on the upper lid. Place the flare lashes more closely for a fuller, more dramatic appearance. Ramp up the glamour by placing false eyelashes on the bottom lid as well as the top.

If the luxurious care-free lashes aren’t quite exciting enough, add sparkling gemstones. Available in a wide selection of colors and styles, the gemstones catch the light with every blink. The stones are added one at a time, so use a few here and there for a subtle flash of light, or add more for dazzling brilliance. For a more subtle but fun look, scatter colored lashes in between the black or brown ones.

If the occasion calls for a unique touch, try adding fresh or artificial flower petals mixed in with the faux eyelashes. There’s no limit to the looks that can be achieved with a little imagination and false eyelashes.

Applying false eyelashes is a skill. Preparation, selection of eyelashes and adhesives, and care of the lashes after application are important steps in the process. The technique of applying false eyelashes can be mastered with the help of a new instructional video called Party Lashes, from Aesthetic VideoSource. Damien Salter, makeup artist to Hollywood stars, demonstrates the basic process and offers suggestions for customizing the false eyelashes. He also offers insider tips, such as applying the adhesive in such a way that it acts as eyeliner.
