In this article, we will discuss some of the easy steps of using eyelash tweezers and they include
Preparation of eye
Before you apply for the eyelash extensions from a tweezer, it is preferable to prepare your eyes first. For this purpose, you can line your eyelids with a liner. You can either do winked eyeliner or a simple thick lining to highlight your eyes.
Some girls love wearing colored liners as they look more cute and stylish. If you are one of them you can line your eyelid with beautiful blue, purple or pink liners.
After lining your eyes with dark liner it is time to put on mascara. When you put mascara it separates your natural lashes and makes them look more beautiful and long. Also, for applying fake lashes you have to give a fanning look to your natural lashes.
It will protect the eyelash extensions from getting clogged with your natural lashes. In case if your eyelash extensions move from their place or get shifted during the event, the preparation will somehow compensate for the loss.
When you will prepare your eyes with a liner and mascara, it will cover all the spaces and gaps.
Apply Glue for eyelash sticking
You need glue when you have to stick the extensions to your lashes. You can use duo glue for this purpose. Apply the glue on the corner of your fake extensions and then let it dry for a few seconds. Once it is done using a pointed lash tweezer to attach it with your lashes.
Hold the fake extensions in the tiny edges of your lash tweezer and make sure the grip is strong so that the lash does not fall.
Pick it up horizontally, and then stick with your eyelids. While sticking the lashes make sure to have a distance of 1mm to avoid any clogging. And if you will keep them at the distance your lashes will not break.
The first step that you need to do is to stick the lashes from the center and then press both the corners so that it sticks properly. Then you can keep moving it until you feel that it is rightly fixed.
How to hold your lash tweezers correctly:
For a comfortable and correct placement of tweezers, you have to learn simple techniques. The first and the most important thing is the gripping of the lash tweezer.
Your grip should be proper and strong, and it only comes when you practice it repeatedly.
The second technique is the professional pick and drop of eyelash extension through the tweezer.
If you do not choose or use the right technique then it can also cause joint pain which can lead to
further problems. This can happen because the lashes are very heavy and voluminous.
The third step is the fanning and isolation of the eyelash extension. If the positioning is incorrect, you will not be able to isolate the eyelash extensions correctly. If you do not know how to use a tweezer, you will end up messing up with your eyelash extensions.
You will either get them clogged with your natural lashes or will end up spoiling the fanning look of your eyelash extensions.
For this purpose, it is essential to hold your tweezer with three fingers including the middle finger, index finger, and thumb.
The middle and index finger should be on one side, while your thumb should be on the other side to firmly hold the tweezer. You can also use your fourth finger, but it is only for support.
If you feel like taking support, you can use it to avoid any problem during the application process. When you are creating a fan or isolating the eyelash extensions, you have to keep your index, and middle finger relaxed.
It will help you in creating a fan with no pressure because the only finger that is doing work in this step is your middle finger.
