Eyelash Extensions- Everything You Need To Know To Become a Certified Lash Technician

 

Long, luscious eyelashes for days? Does that sound exciting to you? Well, guess what…they are! And did you know you can make a career out of it? By becoming a certified lash technician. If you are a stylist, currently in cosmetology school, or an aesthetic student and want to become marketable in your niche, why not consider specializing in semi-permanent eyelash extensions?
 
Eyelash extensions are becoming more popular than mascara and are among the most sought-after cosmetic treatments available on the market. The procedure is quickly learned, allowing trained beauty professionals to expand their clientele by offering this service.

Lash extensions are not for everyone, but if you love the way they make your eyes pop then it makes sense for you to want to impart a little wisdom and beauty on others. You’re going to have a great time learning how to make others feel more confident and look more fashionable, and you get your own certification to boot.

Now there are tons of juicy details on eyelash extensions, and we will go over them extensively, but before we do that, you need to find out if this beauty technique is something you want to offer and become trained in.

Before You Begin - Who Can Apply Eyelash Extensions
The first and most important thing to know that eyelash extensions are only designed for professional use. As a lash technician, you want to become credible and reputable to grow your business, so it is essential to become trained and certified. Before registering for training, you need to check with your own state regarding eyelash extensions, as each state is different.

5 Traits Needed To Be A Successful Lash Technician
As with any occupation, you need to make sure it is for you. While offering eyelash extensions at your place of business may seem like the step to take to become more successful, just because you are trained in the field doesn't mean you will be good at it. There is no debating that there is an art to the trade, and having certain traits will help you along the way.

1. Patience: The process to apply lashes can take a few hours, depending on the type of look the client desires.
2. Steady Hands: With up to 60 lashes per eye. Every lash needs to be perfect.
3. Attention To Detail: There is no room for errors; you want a good reputation, not sloppy job Sally.
4. Incredible Eye Sight: Not everyone is lucky to have 20/20 vision. If you have to wear glasses, make sure you can work and see the tiny details.
5. Dexterous Fingers

Everything You Need To Know About Eyelash Extensions
Ton's of women, even some men, are longing for gorgeous, fluttery, long, lush  lashes. But the hassle of having to apply falsies all the time can be time-consuming. And this is where eyelash extensions come in—a more permanent shortcut to amazing long, full lashes.

Unlike strip lashes, where the lashes are applied to the skin and removed after each use. Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and are attached to the lashes, so they grow and shed naturally with your lashes. Additionally, lash extensions can be customized to fit the eye shape or the length your client lusts after.

What Are The Eyelash Extensions Made From
Eyelash extensions come in various materials. While some argue that eyelash extensions created from natural hair (like mink hair) are of higher quality, that is not true. Thankfully there are lashes made from synthetic materials and silk lashes (made from silk protein), and faux-mink lashes (human-made fibers)- all of which are glamourous, durable, and lighter. At Noble Lashes, they are completely against animal cruelty, which is why they offer silk eyelashes made from silk proteins. Their lashes are lightweight, soft, flexible, and naturally curled- minus the evil animal cruelty!

What Other Supplies Do You Need In Your Eyelash Arsenal To Create Beautiful Eyelash Extensions
As with most cosmetic produces, you need some prep gear in your eyelash arsenal. Below are just s few of the Eyelash Extension Supplies you will need to create beautiful eyelash extensions.

Oil-Free Cleansers: Even before the treatment begins, it is imperative that you remove the client's makeup and gently cleanse the eyelashes.  Just as you would wash a client's hair, you need to clean the natural lashes thoroughly.

Noble Lashes provides various professional eyelash cleaners in both liquid and foam form, designed for professional use in beauty salons. The cleansers are often infused with different natural extracts that further act as a gentle conditioner and give the eyelashes a healthy look.

Primers: These are frequently used during eyelash extension treatments, as they improve the effects and allow them to hold on longer. They allow better bonding with eyelash adhesive - another crucial component of eyelash extension treatment.

Eyelash Glue: For a seamless connection, you need to adhere those bad boys with the natural eyelashes. Depending on your client’s eye and skin sensitivity, you need to choose a proper glue type. Most of the available glues are quick-settling, taking only a second to create a strong bond. However, some stronger strength glues can sometimes cause an allergic reaction, especially in sensitive clients. In such cases, we highly recommend using a hypoallergenic eyelash adhesive.

Classic, Hybrid, And Volume Eyelash Extensions- What Is The Difference
What Are The Different Volume Of Eyelash Extensions
One of the significant aspects of eyelash extensions is their wide variety of types and styles. Depending on the kind of lash look a client is seeking, there is a lash out there.

Classic Eye Lash
The most basic division of eyelash extensions is between 1:1 eyelash extensions and volume extensions. Using the 1:1 application method, a single extension is used per every single natural eyelash. While such a technique can already provide glamorous results, you will often encounter clients who want a more visible effect. In such cases, volume methods of application are a perfect choice.

Volume Eye Lash Extensions
The most common types of volume eyelashes are 2D, 3D, and 4D, also called 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1. Very often, lash technicians advertise volume extensions under the name Hollywood Effect. Using these methods, adding more than just one extension to a client’s eyelashes - sometimes even as many as ten!

Bonus tip: When using volume eyelashes, the lash technician must be meticulous and thoroughly check the client’s natural eyelashes condition. While most volume extensions have reduced weight and feature ergonomic placement that evenly distributes the gravitational pull affecting the eyelashes, caution should always be applied NOT to damage the current lashes.

Hybrid Lashes:
Hybrid lashes are a 70-30 mixture of both classic lashes and volume lashes. Hybrid eyelash extensions give your clients the best of both worlds.
 

Customize Your Eyelash Extensions With Curl, Diameter, And Length
There's more? Of course, one size does not fit all. It is essential to understand the lash extensions' length, weight, thickness, and curl and how you would apply each, which will allow you to step up your game better to customize a look to each client's specific needs.

Thickness: When deciding the thickness (diameter), you should not only consider the design aspect but, more importantly, the condition of your client's natural lashes. The most common thickness of eyelash extension ranges between 0.03mm and 0.30mm, but you might also encounter higher diameter extensions.

Curl: When it comes to the extensions' shape, there is a wide variety of curls available. There are more than what we listed below, but this will give you an understanding of the different lash curl you can create. (or look at the photo above)

• I curl- More straight forward, great for men who want to enhance the thickness, but without curl.
  
• J curl- Are natural looking but best suited for clients whose natural lashes point straight up or forward
  
• B curl- Offers a soft curl, a natural-looking effect - perfect for women looking for a noticeable yet believable enhancement. 
• C curl is the most popular curl, it is glamorous and provide a lift to the eyes. 
• D curl can be more fitting for those more daring, as they provide a more dramatic curve.
  

If your client is looking for something that offers extreme lift, you can also use the U curl to further accent the eyelashes.

The Length: Eyelash extensions come in a variety of lengths from 5mm-20mm. But not all lengths are for everyone. Most likely clients are going to tell you they want long lashes. But you need to be able to explain to the client that the condition of their lashes will determine the length of the eyelash extension.  If the extensions are much longer than their regular lashes, it could cause premature fallout and shedding. Setting the correct expectation is vital to be a successful eyelash technician.

So there you have it! Everything you need to know to become a certified lash technician... Finish your training, certification and internship and you are on your way to applying eyelash extensions like a pro!

One Two Lash The World’s First Magnetic Fake EyeLashes

Long luscious lashes are what a lot of us are seeking, but getting there easily is another story.  While there are many mascaras out there like Too Faced Better Than Sex that will give you the length and volume, seeking more like what you can get from fake eyelashes is what most of us desire on those special occasions. BUT getting them on is another story, more so for me because I am farsighted.

Yes, starring at a computer all day has really affected my eyesight and long story short a few months ago for an event I decided to step up my game with fake lashes! NOT, I ended up getting glue in my eyes, as unfortunately you can’t wear your glasses and apply false lashes at the same time.

So what is a girl to do? Well, what about magnetic lashes? Yes, that is right, Katy Stoka, the founder of One Two Lash, has the solution with her Magnetic eyelashes or does she?  A friend of mine had these and I asked her about them.  She was kind enough to give me a set that she had not used yet for me to try out as she had not had any luck getting them on and thought I could help, so I decided to give it a try!

So if you want to find out how to use and my thoughts and tips on the Magnetic One Two Lash continue reading

About The Product

• There are eight lashes in a box, which equals to two pairs and they cost about $70
• Each lash has a magnetic on it to hold in place to the other. Hence, you are basically sandwiching your lashes between two ultra-lightweight fiber strip lashes.

Tips For Using
WATCH the video before applying, I did not, and it took me many tries to get the lashes on correctly.

Step 1: If you are farsighted like me, get out your magnifying mirror, as these bad boys do not automatically click on and connect as I thought they would.  They too like glue on lashes require some practice, so don’t try this out for the first time if you are in a hurry.  Next, lay down the microfiber that comes with the set.  PLEASE do this, I did not do this at first, and this cloth is what catches the lashes in case you drop one and trust me when you first start out you will lose one or one of the lashes will fall off.

Step 2: In the video, they recommend applying the lashes as your last makeup step, and yes this is important.  I found it better to apply some mascara first (one that curls your lashes and let it dry).  If you are great with an eyelash curler use that as well; I am not they scare me, therefore I opted for a curling mascara.  But just applying these lashes to a non-mascaraed lash did not do the job.

Step 3: When applying think of each falsie as the piece of bread, and you are going to sandwich your real lash in between the two.

Step 4: You want to do the top lash first, so here is where you will apply the one without the red dot over your eye.

Step 5: Position the top fake lash on top of your natural lashes, so the outside edge lines up with the edge of your natural lash line. The lash is a half lash, so get as close to the corner of your outside eye as possible. AND Don’t blink and leave the top lash where it is, and pick up the bottom lash (the one with the red dot).

Step 6: Without blinking AGAIN, place the bottom lash under your natural lashes, so it meets and connects with the top lash magnet.

So basically, the magnets snap together and hold the strips firmly together, hugging your natural lashes. IT DOES TAKE A WHILE TO GET THIS, and it was luck for me as I never did figure out what I was doing wrong, it just suddenly worked.

Variety Of Lengths

• Original for daily wear (I don’t recommend these they are hard to see), my mascara did just as good as a job.
• Bold for a more dramatic look (these I recommend)
• Accent LASH gives the outer corners of your lash line a subtle (yet flirty) lift.
• Filler to fill in any gaps, like the singles you get with glue ones.

My Opinion 
While I did like the Magnetic One Two Lashes, it took some getting use too.  Also, they are not as flexible as regular glue on falsies, so they don’t bend and curl as closely to your natural lashes.  Hence, they may stick outwards instead of curling up, especially if you don’t line it up just right.  Because of this, I strongly recommend that you do use mascara, this way you can blend the one two lashes in with your mascara covered lashes. Once the fake eyelashes are on, I squeezed the fiber lashes into my own, so they curved up a bit more. (I am not sure if this is recommended, but it is what worked best for me.)

Does The Magnetic Lashes Feel Weird
I thought they would feel weird, but they really didn’t, you do get used to them just as you would glue on lashes.

Final Thoughts
Bottom line, if you follow my blog you know that I only share information on products that I recommend, I rarely share a negative opinion on something.  But I felt that I needed to share my experience with these and to let everyone know that there is a learning curve to these magnetic lashes as they are not as easy as one would hope.  My initial reasoning for wanting to use these was because I thought they would be an simple alternative for glue on lashes, but they were not any less difficult.  I do think the benefit to the one two lash is the fact that they are not as damaging to the eyelash as the glue on lashes.  But if you are one who only wears fake lashes for a special occasion and doesn't have difficulty using the glue on ones, I would not go out and spend the $70 on these.

30 Plus Genius Mascara Hacks Revealed

If you think there is no such thing as a magic wand, you’re not making the best of your mascara! Yeah, a bit of humor but if you ask most women what one makeup item they can’t go without, most will say Mascara!

Long luscious lashes are something a lot of women seek, and we’ve got the scoop on some of the best tips, tricks, and Mascara Hacks out there!

Prevent Clumps

• Before application, you want to blot your mascara wand with a piece of tissue; this will help to remove any excess mascara. 
• Apply petroleum jelly to your lashes first before apply Mascara.
• When applying your mascara, do it in a zig zag manner. Starting at the base of your lashes and moving the wand in an upward sweep to the tips.
• Wait in between applications. Some mascaras take longer to dry, so wait about 60 seconds before applying your next coat
• Dryness could be a reason your mascara gets clumpy. So to add some moisture back into your tube, add some drops of alcohol-based eye makeup remover.

Raccoon Eyes

• To prevent this look for a long wearing mascara.
• Another option is a waterproof mascara
• Make sure you are not allergic to it.  While this seems like a duh comment, overly watered eyes which can lead to your mascara smudging can be because of a sensitivity to your mascara.  In this case, switch it out.
• Another raccoon eye can occur with the removal of your makeup.  So make sure to remove it with something like the makeup eraser.

Lashes Sticking Together
Full, voluminous lashes are my goal with mascara, but when they stick together like spider legs, it is not attractive. To help with this, comb through your lashes with a mascara comb. Not only does it separate the lashes but it also removes any access that can lead to clumping.

Fuller Lashes

• Apply some black eyeliner to the upper waterline. 
• Dust your lashes with powder, bronzer or a dark eye shadow before applying your mascara. This will allow the mascara to adhere to the lashes, building thickness. This is a great DIY approach to the fiber formula mascaras!

Don’t Cut Corners
(Or in this case, forget the corners). To get the appearance of falsies you want to make sure that you are applying mascara to each lash.  So, don’t forget about using mascara on both ends, near the tear duct area as well as the outer eyelash edge.
  
Don’t Forget The Lash Line
That thickness and darkness you get from fake eyelashes are very prominent at the base of the lash line.  Hence, wiggling the mascara wand back and forth starting at the root and going upwards is going to make your lashes appear so much thicker while giving you that same falsies baseline look.

Make Your Mascara Last Longer

• Apply a non-waterproof mascara first, doing this will help with easy removal. Place the waterproof mascara on top of the coat of non-waterproof. 
• Combining the two will give you the benefits of having an extraordinary smear proof curled lash, which will last all day, with easy removal. 

Holding the Brush Correctly

• Holding your brush in different positions can give you different looks. 
• Vertical: Holding your brush vertically will give you longer lashes. 
• Horizontal: the Horizontal application will give you voluminous lashes. Make sure to apply in a wiggle motion, emphasizing on the base of the lashes and swooping upwards. 
• Bend the wand: This is a bit hard to describe, but we’ll do our best. You can make use of an old mascara wand by bending the bristle area of the wand upwards (it will look like a right angle). Doing this will enable you to get those hard to reach areas, like the corner of your lashes and other smaller lashes without a mess.

Mess-Free Application

• Getting mascara on your skin can be a pain, especially if you have already applied your makeup.  But fret no more as we have some great hacks to help with this!  
• Apply your mascara by using a business card.  Just place a business card right to the lash line, behind your lashes and apply your mascara. 
• Spoon: You can do the same thing by using a spoon. Place the spoon with the curved side out.  I usually do this when applying mascara to my lower lashes. 
• Both approaches will prevent you from getting mascara on your skin. Instead, it will go on the spoon or card.   

Revive Your Mascara
If you find that your mascara is dried out, or close to the end of the tube, there are a few tricks to help.

• Take your tube of mascara & place it in the palms of your hands. Quickly roll the mascara tube back & forth between your hands for about 30 seconds.
• You can also loosen your mascara by placing the closed tube in a warm glass of water.
• By doing either of the above, you create heat, which will soften & loosen the mascara or it won't seem as dried out, it revives and will apply like a new tube.
• IMPORTANT, make sure to keep in mind the safe time usage of your mascara, AKA expire.  The best way to keep track is to write the date you opened it, on the bottom of the tube.   After three months’ start paying attention to it. Don’t keep it if it is what we call in the makeup world “past its shelf life,” toss it in the trash, don’t try to revive it.

Taking Care Of Your Lashes
If you are not taking care of your lashes, none of these tricks will help you.  It is important when you are removing your mascara that you are not pulling or tugging on the eyelashes with hopes to get the mascara off.

Instead, you want to take the approach that aestheticians use to remove your eye makeup when you are getting a facial. Use a makeup removing the solution and a cotton pad or something like the makeup eraser and with your eye closed, gently wipe downwards repetitively until the pad or wipe is free from mascara. You can then open the eye and clean up the under-eye area.

Some Don’ts!
Now that we’ve shared some do’s there are a few do not's we feel are necessary to mention!

Do Not Pump The Wand: This is something we see people often do but do not pump the wand up and down in the tube! Doing so can put air in the tube causing it to go bad sooner, it can also create bacteria, and that is the last thing you want near your eyes!

Don’t Over Use Waterproof Mascara: While it is ok to use it sometimes or when layering as we mentioned above. Trying to remove it can be difficult, and the last thing you want to do is pull and tug on the skin as sagging skin can lead to thinner lashes!

Don’t Curl Your Lashes After: Again, our goal is full lashes, and if you curl your lashes after you have applied your mascara, the likelihood of pulling some of the lashes out or having them stick to the eyelash curler is much higher!

10 Makeup Tricks To Make Your Eyes Appear Larger

  Disclaimer:  This is post contains affiliate links.

Are you frustrated with your eyes appearing smaller than you'd like? And wish there was something you could do that would quickly brighten them up?  Well, look no further! As today, I'm going to give you my top 10 beauty tricks that will help to make your eyes appear larger. I will also include some of the products I suggest!

1. Concealer: If you have dark circles under your eyes, they can look smaller. To counter that, you want to use a concealer that can help to even out your skin tone while brightening the eye. Product: Camouflage Cream Palette.
   
2. Using The Correct Color Combination Or Light Colored Eye-shadows:  Correctly applying eyeshadow is an art.  But using the colors correctly is the first step in opening up the eyes.  If you use dark colors only, your eyes will recede. However, if you combine with lighter shades, they will help to accentuate your eyes.  The light colors catch the light, giving the illusion of larger eyes.  Product: Urban Decay Naked.
3. Eyeliner:  Over applying dark eyeliner can make your eyes appear smaller, so please refrain from applying to the inside of the lower lash line.  It is ok to apply some eyeliner to the outer lower line. And only about a quarter of the way in from the out corner of your eye.  Do not extend to the tear duct. You can also give your eyes that extra pop by using multiple colors. If choosing this option,  you can extend to tear duct & lower lash line. But you need to select colors that compliment your eyes. Otherwise, you'll make them appear smaller.  Product: Urban Decay Ten 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set.
4. White:  Using the color white near the inner corner of your eyes and your waterline, will give the illusion of larger eyes.   You can use a white eyeliner, an illuminator, or white eye shadow. Product: NYX Retractable Eyeliner.
5. A Great Mascara:  If you follow my blog you know I love mascara.  When choosing mascara to help make your eyes appear larger, you want to use one that adds volume and separates.  Too Faced Better Than Sex and Urban Decays Perversion are my name brand mascara favs.  When applying, I like to add more emphasis on the corner of the eyes as well as near the tear duct.
6. Eyelash Curler: Curl up baby! An eyelash curler has been around for years; there's a  reason for it.  This bad boy can take your limp lashes to curly in 15 seconds.  A curled lash can make your eyes appeared more open.  Product: Heated Eyelash Curler Or a Regular Version for only a $1.00 by e.l.f.
7.  False Eyelashes: False eyelashes can do wonders for your eyes instantly.  However, applying them can be tricky. But fret no more as the trick to making this foolproof is using the glue correctly.  You want to apply the glue to the upper lash line, instead of applying it directly to the falsie! By doing it this way, you’ll be able to move the lash around, and it won’t stick to places it shouldn’t.  Product: Ardell Lashes & don't forget the glue Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive.
8. Nude pencil: As I mentioned above, how dark eyeliner can make your eyes appear smaller. Doing the opposite with a nude colored pencil will make your eyes pop. Nude works great for everyone, including those with darker skin or when you wear dark colored shadows, as white can be too harsh for some.   Using a nude eyeliner or even a contouring pencil can help brighten up your look. Product:  Rimmel London ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner.
9. Eyebrows: Similar to a great frame that can take an ordinary picture to a different level.  I view your eyebrows as such.   Great looking eyebrows can form a frame around your eyes bringing your features forward. Product: e.l.f. brow set. 
10. Illuminator: Highlighting is all over the internet; there is a reason for this.  Using a great highlighter/illuminator in the corner of your eyes, your brow bone, as well as dabbing it in the middle of your lid, will give you an instance lift and brighten your look instantly.  Product: Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder Compact

6 Simple Steps To Applying Mascara Like A Pro

It seems myself, like others in my beauty circle are always looking for the next best mascara.  As lusting over long lushes eyelashes has been an addiction, as long as I can remember.  So, today, for my month of mascara posts,  I am going to share with you my top 6 tips to applying mascara like a pro. 

Tip 1:  Mixing them! Yes, I know the thought of having to spend money for one multiple mascaras to do the job you wish one would do, has always been frustrating to me.  But honestly, over the years, I’ve found that my lashes look the best when I mixed a few! The best results, have been from mixing a volumizing mascara with a lengthening one. See some of my favorite mascaras below.

Tip 2:  Use two different tones of mascara on your lashes.  For example, use a carbon mascara (the blackest) on the top and a brown on the bottom lashes.

  

Tip 3:  Prevent clumps: 

• The best way is to prep your lashes first. You want to make sure that you start with clean eyelashes. 
• Prior to application, you want to blot your mascara wand on a piece of tissue, this will help to remove any access mascara.   
• When applying, do it in a zig zag approach.

Tip 4:  Make use of an old cleaned wand & bend it.  Using a wand when the brush is bent at a right angle works wonders!

Tip 5:  Application:

• When applying mascara, you want to do a back-and-forth motion, moving the wand in a upward sweep.  The upward sweep helps to create the illusion of curly eyelashes. 
• For long lashes focus on the corner lashes, this will help your eyes look brighter & more opened.

Tip 6:  Fuller lashes:

• Apply some black eyeliner to the upper waterline.
• Dust your lashes with powder, bronzer or a dark eyeshadow before applying mascara. This will allow the mascara to adhere to the lashes, building thickness.  This is a great DIY approach to the fiber formula mascaras.
