Review of JICA Eyelash Extensions

2012-03-17T01:07:00.003+00:00

JICA Eyelash Extensions, A Review

JICA Eyelash Extensions

JICA Lash Extensions Treatment is basically a fiber mascara that is meant to add thickness and length to the natural lashes to make them look like professionally applied individual lashes. Unlike other fiber mascara, JICA lash extensions treatment mascara is black so does not require several coats of mascara to hide the filaments that coat the eyelashes.

Verdict after using JICA Eyelash Extensions Treatment

Overall it was a fairly positive experience. There are a lot of mascaras on the market which claim to lengthen and thicken the lashes to impossible levels. Although JICA Eyelashes cannot create the same naturally dramatic look of individual eyelash extensions, it can add volume and length to the natural eyelashes but it is not without its set backs.

How JICA eyelash extensions look when applied

JICA eyelash extensions can look clumpy if several coats are applied. Due to the filaments in the lashes, the eyelashes tend to look like spider legs if over applied. This can be prevented by waiting for the treatment to dry after application and using a clean spoolie to comb through the lashes after application

Clumpy Eyelash Extensions

Filaments in JICA Eyelash Extensions Treatment

Like other fiber mascaras, JICA Lash Extensions Treatment coats the natural lashes with tiny fibers which gives the illusion of volume and adds length to the eyelashes. It is probably a good idea to a apply the lash treatment before applying other make up as the filaments may fall on the skin and ruin the make up.

Looking downwards when applying JICA lash extensions is also recommended as it prevents the filaments from entering the eyes during the application.

Side Effects of Using JICA eyelash extensions treatment

Once the filaments in the product enters your eyes accidentally during application, It would be advisable to flush the eye in a water to wash away the filaments. Should you fail to flush out all the filaments, this may cause the eyes to become irritated and in sever instances cause an infection.

If a load of filaments on your lashes is not for you, you may want to try lash extensions applied professionally.

Chinatown Eyelash Extensions : Understanding and Mastering the Art of Applying Eyelash Extension to Oriental Eyelashes

2012-03-13T00:42:00.000+00:00

Oriental Eyelashes Picture Source

Oriental eyelashes may be short and thin, making the application of eyelash extensions more intricate. The lashes may also be sparse and straight. While the base of the individual lashes attach to the straight natural lashes easily, the sparse natural lashes require advanced application techniques such as layering to achieve a full and glamorous look if required (This is of course a generalisation so might not be the so in some cases.)

Factors to Consider When Applying Eyelash Extensions on Oriental Eyes

Tools to Use in the Application of Eyelash Extensions for Oriental Eyes
It is advisable to use a fine tip tweezers for oriental eyelashes as this will allow for easy separation if the lashes are fine.

The Size of Oriental Eyes
Some Oriental may be very small. In this case, the construction of the lashes should be geared towards widening the eyes to make them larger. A recommended eyelash construction style would be to apply longer lashes at the the mid section of the eyes and shorter lashes on either corners to open and enlarge the eyes.

The Shape of Oriental eyes
In some cases the tear duct corners of the the eyes may droop more than the outer corner. The weight of the lashes and its length should be lighter and shorter to prevent the eyes from looking smaller.

The Lash Line of Oriental Eyes
It is also important to consider the lash line when applying eyelash extensions to Asian eyes. If the lash line is covered by the eyelids, the length and curl of the lashes should be chosen carefully to achieve the desired effect.

Applying Individual Eyelash Extensions on Oriental Eyelashes with Single Eyelid

A micropore tape case be used to lift the eyelid slightly to allow the lashes to be easily visible and properly separated for application. I would be helpful to use a silk tape rather than a collagen eye pad for the application. The silk tape is lighter than the pad and allows more space to work.

Eyelash Extensions Curl Appropriate for Oriental Eyelashes

It may be tempting to use a C or D curl to add some definition to the eye. This may however cause discomfort as the tip of the curl may irritate the eyelids. J curls have a slight curl that looks natural on oriental eyes. For a more glamorous look a B Curl may be used as it has a stronger curl than the J Curl. J and B curls are more suited to those with straighter lashes as it gives a subtle definition to their natural curl.

She looked radiant at the Professional Beauty 2012 show in East London. Well at least her carefully applied natural looking mink fur eyelash extensions gave her an elegant and sophisticated look.

Her outfit however did not match the elegance of her eyelash extensions. She seemed to have just grabbed those atrocious red bottoms from her closet blindfolded and don't get us started on that crop top. The pictures should have just been of her face

Seriously?!!!

Just look from neck up!

We still love you though Katie.

Review of Katie Perry Lashes by Eylure

2012-03-06T18:00:00.001+00:00

False Eyelashes by Katy Perry

It was exciting to hear about Katy Perry's collaboration with Eylure to launch a new range of eyelash extensions. Katy has admitted her addiction to eyelash extensions in several interviews so it is no wonder she would be involved in such a deal.

Boots, stock the range in their larger stores here in London.

Apparently, ''As a false lash lover herself, Katy had a very clear idea of what she wanted to achieve and was involved in every step of the design process. We were keen to create a range of lashes that were a direct extension of her own personal style.''

Katy Perry Eyelash Extensions

We were completely taken aback by the range of false lashes in the line. It appears Eylure has just repackaged their old false lashes and slapped a wide eyed photo shopped Katy Perry's face on the package. Most of the styles are available in the original range of Eylure lashes and for less.

Range of False Lashes Created by Katy Perry and Eylure

Katy however looked stunning at the product launch. As you know, we are suckers for long lashes. Lets know what you think about the all blue.

How Kristen Chenoweth Got Her Eyelash Extensions‎ Infected

2012-03-05T13:30:00.002+00:00

Kristen Chenoweth Eyelash Extensions Gone Wrong by Uncertified Eyelash Technician

Even stars are at risk of looking like they have “lips on their eyelids” after eyelash extensions treatment with an untrained technician. There has been a lot of speculation in the press about how singer/ actress Kristen Chenowth got an infection from her eyelash extensions. Kristen is now forced to wear sunglasses everywhere after suffering an allergic reaction to her eyelash extensions treatment. It appears that the star’s rogue lash stylist used glue that has formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products. It is also commonly used as an industrial fungicide,germicide, and disinfectant, and as a preservative in mortuaries and medical laboratories. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde whereas others have no reaction to the same level of exposure. Reactions may include burning sensations in the eyes, nose and throat, watery eyes, nausea, wheezing and swelling.

The guild of beauty therapists in the UK require all eyelash extensions technicians to use EU approved glue that does not contain formaldehyde. You should ensure that your technician is aware of the effects of the chemical and seeks to use professional glue that does not contain formaldehyde. Safe advanced glues which have no such harmful chemicals in them can only be purchased by trained eyelash extensions technicians with correct certification for the UK. Rogue technicians tend to buy imported untested and harmful glues which could contain formaldehyde and other more harmful chemicals. The only way to ensure that your eyelash extensions will not cause the Kristen Chenoweth effect is to have them applied by a trained, certified and insured lash technician. You can find a certified eyelash extensions in London here.

How to Get Your Eyelash Extensions to Last Long

2010-12-26T18:10:00.001+00:00

Eyelash extensions is a great investment in your personal appearance. It is therefore important to ensure that they do not prematurely fall out. We have gathered information to highlight some of the common factors that causes premature loss of eyelashes.

Before the treatment, Prima Lashes advices all our clients to remove any make up, especially mascara which may compromise the contact area between the lashes and the glue. Make up residue will affect the adhesive ability of the glue and cause lashes to fall out prematurely.

Further, it is not advised that clients curl or perm their lashes before the treatment. It is best to apply the lashes on straight natural eyelashes.

We also advice our clients to always follow our aftercare instructions. The lashes show not come in contact with water for 48 hours after the treatment. This is to ensure that the glue has correctly set. This is very important to ensure that the lashes last longer

We also advice that clients use oil free make up remover, when they have eyelash extensions. Oil is a solvent of our lash adhesive and will certainly remove the lashes if directly applied to them

How to Remove False Eyelashes at Home

2010-12-26T18:08:00.000+00:00

Fake lashes should always be removed in the evening, before going to bed. Most of the glues used for the false lashes application are water based and can be easily removed with water, cleansing milk or makeup remover.

Use face cloth or cotton pad saturated with warm water and a gentle makeup remover. Hold the face cloth / cotton pad/ over your eyes for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the glue. Remove fake lashes carefully to avoid pulling out your natural lashes.

Wash the fake lashes with lukewarm water, soap or brush cleanser to remove any mascara and dirt.

How to Apply False Eyelashes

2010-12-26T18:05:00.000+00:00

Long and thick eyelashes are a surefire way to instant prettiness. Usually fake lashes come in three lengths“ short, medium, long and are available in all colors and shapes to suit different eye shapes. The false lashes are made from synthetic fiber or from animal hair. Strip eyelashes add density to the entire lash line and are easy to apply but in most of the cases they don’t look natural.
False lashes mostly comes with special glue designed specifically to help you apply the fake eyelashes.
It is essential to select the right lashes that will complement your eye shape and your look.

FOR THE APPLICATION OF FALSE LASHES YOU WILL NEED:

a pair of fake lashes
eyelash glue
small scissors
tweezers
liquid eyeliner
makeup remover
cotton pads

HOW TO APPLY FALSE LASHES:

Step 1 Apply the makeup as usual
Always apply your makeup before applying the fake lashes. Use a foundation to create a flawless look, apply face powder to set your makeup. Make sure your lashes are clean and free of all traces of makeup or mascara. It is not recommend you to use creamy eye shadows because oiliness will prevent the glue sticking adequately.

Step 2 Trim your fake lashes
Trim the false eyelashes in length and width to suit your eye size. To trim them use a sharp scissors to accommodate your needs. Review the length of the lashes and put them close to your natural eyelashes. Always trim false lashes before applying glue on them.

Step 3 Apply the glue
Fake lashes individual or strip lashes always come with glue. The glue used for the application of false lashes is usually waterproof and looks clear. Apply a thin line of glue along the false lashes and let it dry for 2/ 3 minutes.

Step 4 Apply the fake lashes
Get close to a mirror and look down. Guide the strip lash into position directly under the natural lash line. Always pick up the fake lashes with tweezers. Position the false lashes slightly above your natural lashes and press ends into place. Adjust the lashes with tweezers or with your fingertips. Press the eyelashes down for a few seconds on the outside of your eye. Don’t worry if you have a little extra glue showing it will dry clear.

Step 5 Curl the lashes and apply mascara
You can curl fake lashes as you would normally do it without worries. Apply mascara to blend your natural lashes and the fake lashes. Fill in the sparse areas using liquid eyeliner, eye pencil or dark eye shadows.

Rapid Lash - Does the 2010 most talked about eyelash serum really work?

2010-12-26T17:47:00.000+00:00

When the Rapidlash Eyelash Enhancing Serum hit the shelves at Boots on July 14, there was a big buzz for the product with a waiting list in excess of 1000. Boots have exclusivity for the sale of the nourishing, lash-plumping mascara and serum that people are raving about – so much so that it has its own Facebook page.

So does it work?

Clinical trials conducted by Rapidlash shows that it gives up to 50 per cent longer-looking lashes, so long as you use it daily for eight weeks. For the past few years, eyelashes have been the key focal point of the face. Volumising mascaras are huge sellers, as are fake eyelashes. Almost inevitably, eyelash-boosting serums have become the hot new products.

Since it was noticed that eye drops designed to treat the condition glaucoma had the side-effect of making lashes longer, there has been a scramble to develop a product that delivered these results.

But Rapidlash is not, strictly speaking, a lash growth promoter so much as a treatment that conditions the lashes. It contains no drug-derived growth enhancers.

But because lashes are, apparently, subject to so much 'aggression' - rubbing your eyes, using eyelash curlers - the theory runs that by dosing the lashes with unguents, you can enhance their size.

Rapidlash is by no means the first enhancer to hit the market, and surely it’s just a matter of time before Latisse, the prescription-only lash-lengthening product from Allergan (the people who gave us Botox), is available in the UK.

Top make-up artist Pat McGrath says: ‘Women love longer lashes because they give you instantly bigger, sexier eyes. They’re a simple way to add drama and impact without a lot of fuss.’

Growth serums like rapid lash cannot create the same effect of semi permanent eyelash extensions. It can however be used with extensions to strengthen the natural lashes during extensions.
