Usually the first thing I see on a lady or anyone for that matter, is their eyes. It is the first facial feature that tells a story of what their day or life is like at that moment. Sad eyes or smiling happy eyes. With that said, whether happy or sad, we want pretty eyes and eyelashes can sure help to enhance those eyes. So…about those lashes….
With all of the new techniques and technology out there today, there are a few ways to get beautiful, full, long eyelashes. I have tried them all and they all come with positives and negatives. I have recently discovered the Younique 3 D lash system. Below is a step by step process for you.
This photo was taken before any mascara is applied. A la natural! The very first thing that you want to do is to curl your eye lashes as you would normally do. My eyelashes have always been normal in length, but as I have aged, they are thinning somewhat. I have tried Latisse which does help them to fill in again, but expensive and a pain in the you know what. The applied salon eyelashes are really nice, but expensive and very time consuming. For me, I barely have time for hair, nails, skin, and doctors appointmentsl….. so almost impossible to add another appointment.
Next, apply 1 coat of your everyday mascara (optiona). This will give a little more substance for the fibers transplanting gel. Some users perfer not to use mascara as a first step. The photo below is with one coat of mascara. Not too bad.
Next put on the gel, taking your time to coat all of your lashes, just like mascara and before it dries add your the fibers in the short tube. Take your time again because they are literally fibers and they attach to the gel which elongates and give fullness to your natural lashes. I have used false eyelashes for many many years and as much as they look great, they are very hard on your lashes. I have lost lashes when pulling my false eyelashes off.
To secure the fibers, add one more coat of the gel and if you want a more glam look then add another coat of fibers and another coat of gel. Always end up with the gel. The fibers will shed off onto your cheek, but It is very easy to brush them off and safe for contact wearers. To avoid a lot of shedding of the fibers, take your time to coat all of your lashes with the gel. That is what helps add the fullness and capture the fibers. If you do not like this thicker look, then use an eyelash comb to your lashes and add another coat of gel.
This photo below is the 3rd coat or 4th if you count your own mascara. I personally think they look great. Compare this photo with my bare eyelashes in the first photo. Big difference!! I cannot get this look with 2 or 3 coats of mascara. This gel and fiber system is water resistant yet it washes off easily with water or eye make up remover.
This 3 D lash system is hypo-allergenic, water resistant, gluten free, paraben free, and made of 100% green tea fiber. The tubes come in a very high quality storage or travel case. Younique has many other great products that I am currently trying out for you and will share in a later blog.
I guess you can tell that I don’t have any lashes in the out corners of my eyes. The 3 D lashes cannot enhance what you don’t have……but what I do have increased 3 times from my natural state. I do not use the 3 D lash system every day, as it does take a few more minutes to apply and I don’t always have to have glam eyes, but I love them for when I am going to any special event and I use it for my photo shoots instead of false eyelashes. They really do look beautiful! My advise is to practice a few times to find the balance for your own personal tastes.
