Eyelash extensions are mainly divided into 4 types according to their materials: fiber eyelashes, human hair eyelashes, animal hair eyelashes, and feather eyelashes.

As the name implies, the material used for fiber eyelashes is fiber, and real human hair eyelashes are made of human hair, and so on.

In addition, it is also popular to graft eyelash extensions one by one. The effect is more realistic, and it saves the trouble of daily pasting. You only need to use an eyelash curler to create a curling effect.

How to choose the right eyelash extensions?

Generally speaking, choose eyelash extensions according to different makeup effects you want to achieve, or choose according to your own eye shape. For example, if you want to make your eyes round, choose the middle-length eyelash extensions; for innocent or feminine eye makeup, you can choose extended-end eyelash extensions; daily lighter makeup should choose natural, not too thick. The stalk of eyelash extensions should not be too hard or too soft. It is best to stick to a moderate degree, which is most suitable for new born. If you are shopping online, you must first consult the hardness of the stem. Generally, the best-selling styles with good quality and reputation are very comfortable to use. Choosing eyelash extensions is a science, otherwise it will feel very uncomfortable or not beautiful or neither uncomfortable nor beautiful. Choose the right eyelash extensions, the material is very important. Use high-quality natural hair to make false eyelashes, just like real eyelashes. How to count good eyelash extensions?

1 Glossiness: The color is bright, smooth, and not dull, which is the characteristic of high-quality eyelash extensions.

2 Softness and hardness: The material that is too hard will put a lot of pressure on the eyelids, and after wearing it, it looks fake and unnatural. If the eyelash extensions are too soft, they are not upright enough, and the curling degree will be inferior. The most suitable is that it is soft when you gently pinch it with your hands, which is slightly harder than your real eyelashes.

3 Curvature: Good eyelash extensions will naturally turn up, which is similar to the growth curve of upper eyelashes. Straight eyelash extensions will feel stiff when worn, and there will be no aesthetic feeling. There are several types of eyelash extensions, such as B-roll, C-roll, D-roll, and L+-roll.

Type B curls are the most natural curls. It is mainly suitable for situations where the eyelashes are straight and need to be slightly lifted.

Type C curls are suitable for almost all eye shapes, so they are the most popular curls. If you have slim natural eyelashes, but want them to look more open and fuller, choose C-shaped curls.

When you want an eye-catching appearance, D-curl is the perfect choice. In addition, it is best to naturally curl eyelashes because it resembles a semicircle.

Finally, L and L+ curl a flat base and then lift it up. If you have single eyelids, hooded eyes, and downward and straight eyelashes, choose this type of curly hair.

4 Practicality: If you want to make a debut at a party, choose exaggerated eyelash extensions, such as rhinestone, feather-like, colorful eyelashes. However, it is best not to be too dramatic for gatherings of friends or dating couples, as that will make people uncomfortable.

5. Eyelash glue: This is very important. I have seen a woman in her 30s. She is actually very beautiful, but she has been buying cheap eyelash glue. Now the skin at the root of her eyelashes is severely damaged and often has inflammation. So be sure to buy glue with guaranteed quality.

6 eyelash extensions length

Choosing the wrong eyelash extension length may damage your natural eyelashes. And they make you feel uncomfortable, and you may look unnatural. If the eyelashes are too heavy, it will prevent the eyelash follicles from growing healthy eyelashes. Therefore, when choosing eyelash extension cords, the rule of thumb is that the extension cords should be 3mm-5mm longer than your natural eyelashes. In addition, the diameter of the extension cord should be as close as possible to the diameter of your natural eyelashes. The larger the diameter of natural eyelashes, the more dramatic the change. Therefore, if you want to get a dramatic look with long eyelash extensions, choose slender eyelashes. In this way, you can reduce weight and achieve balance.

7 eyelash extensions volume

Thick eyelashes became popular in 2010. People want more than just the length and curl of the eyelashes. Achieve volume by applying multiple extensions to a single eyelash. However, each extension is lighter and thinner than the previous one. The eyelashes used in this case are very light. Therefore, they can provide a deeper and softer effect without damaging the natural eyelashes. Thick eyelashes are defined by the number of individual eyelash extensions that come together to form a "fan". Most artists use numbers plus the letter D to indicate how many eyelashes are in the fan. For example, 3D gathers three individual eyelashes together to form a fan shape. 2D-4D provides a lighter and more natural Volume style. 4D to 8D are used to create a larger and more dramatic appearance. In addition, if your eyelashes are naturally thick, they are ideal.

It is safe to say that choosing the right eyelashes among the many eyelashes on the market is easier said than done. This is the main reason why you should work with an experienced mascara artist or mascara stylist. They can help guide your eyelash journey. Other factors you need to consider when choosing the perfect eyelash extension include:

1 Like any other eye products, there is no standard eyelash extension line suitable for all eye shapes. For example, eyelash extensions used by people with round eyes may not be suitable for people with almond-shaped eyes.

Therefore, to obtain a charming and natural makeup look, you need to find the eyelashes that best suit your eyes. These are the things you should consider about your eyes.

The size of your eyes-are your eyes small, large or medium? The direction of the eyes-they may be wide, close, or deep. You may be allergic or sensitive to certain materials. Your tolerance for maintenance. The color of your eyes. The shape of your eyes-your eyes may be round, almond, protruding or drooping. Your natural eyelashes-their length, curl, volume and color.

Your eyelid type-Hooded eyelids and single eyelids require more consideration than other types of eyelids.

2 Eyelash extension gives you the opportunity to go from natural to completely dramatic. Therefore, before proceeding with eyelash extension surgery, please determine the appearance you want.

For example, you might choose the eyelashes of some movie stars, which are long and thick. They provide you with a look that can never be achieved with natural eyelashes.

On the other hand, you can choose eyelash extensions that are discreet and blend perfectly with your natural eyelashes. Your friends and family may notice that you are attractive, but they may have difficulty discovering these extensions.

Most importantly, your eyelash stylist can also guide you to choose the eyelash extension shape that best suits your eyes. These range from traditional circular or natural styles to more custom shapes, such as cat eyes or doll eyes as shown in the picture above.

3 Your financial conditions

Quality determines the price. Generally speaking, the higher the price of eyelash extensions, the better the quality, the more comfortable to wear and the more beautiful the effect.
