All those that Mother Nature will not have endowed with long curled eyelashes , and we suspect that there are very many, know it: a little stroke of eyelash curler and / or mascara opens up and totally transforms the look and the face . But if these gestures only take a few minutes, they solicit, manhandle and weaken the eyelashes which fall more easily and can take time to grow back. A few hours of beauty for weeks of waiting, is it worth the effort? Not sure. Fortunately, a technique has been invented so that no one has to ask the question again: eyelash enhancement.. What is hidden under this somewhat barbaric name and above all, does it really work. We went to check on our way to the Boudoir du Regard in Paris. healthnutritionhints
How it works ?
This treatment takes about 30 minutes and involves several
steps. First of all, on perfectly cleansed eyelashes. The beautician then
places a patch on the lower eyelashes in order to protect them, then a slightly
rounded silicone band under and flush with those of the mobile eyelid. After
having carefully curved and glued the eyelashes one by one on the upper band,
she applies a gel so that they take the shape. 15 minutes later, she removes
the product to replace it with another allowing to fix the result and whose
effectiveness again requires 15 minutes of application. The fixing gel and the
bands are finally removed.
Advantages
In just 30 minutes, you get a real doe gaze, day and night.
Unlike the perm , this technique allows above all to open the eye by curving
the eyelashes from the root and not just lengthwise. The curve, which
reproduces the curved part of the silicone band, is light and above all very
natural. They remain flexible and appear much longer. The result is very long
lasting: 2 to 3 months, which is the average lifespan of an eyelash. The
enhancement does not prevent you from wearing mascara, even every day (be
careful to remove makeup gently so as not to tear the eyelashes) and is
obviously waterproof . Despite the chemical treatment, the eyelashes do not
fall prematurely and grow back as strong as before, if not more.© aufeminin.com
Before
The inconvenients
Skincare can be a hardship for some, especially those who
don't really like being touched in their eyes. The products applied can heat
the eyelid and leave an unpleasant sensation for the first few minutes and the
very chemical smell that emanates from it does nothing to reassure us. In
addition, it is possible that certain eyelashes which have not finished growing
back completely find themselves very strongly curved in their middle or at the
end which is very annoying once the growth is finished because the curve does
not correspond to the other eyelashes and s' proves difficult to correct, even
with mascara and eyelash curler(the use of which then goes a little contrary to
the purpose of the enhancement). Finally, even if the result is impeccable for
more than a month, it turns a bit into ciliary cacophony when the curled
eyelashes and the new ones not raised rub shoulders on our eyelid. It then
becomes essential to use our friend the eyelash curler to tame all these little
people.
Conclusion
Given the duration and the naturalness of the result, and
this, in spite of an apparently dissuasive price, this technique is really
worth the blow / cost. All the followers will be able to temporarily abandon
their eyelash curler and stop abusing their fragile eyelashes which will not be
worse off. Even small eyelashes find their value there and can deploy an
unsuspected length. The time saving, too, is not negligible since it is almost
no longer necessary to apply makeup to the eyes to highlight them and a simple
stroke of mascara is enough to sublimate the result. The must is to combine an
enhancement and a semi-permanent mascara break to be quiet for almost a month.
