False Eyelash Selection and Application Guide: From Tools to Styles

Tool Selection

Before you start applying false eyelashes, it is crucial to choose the right tools. As the saying goes, “A craftsman who wants to do a good job must first sharpen his tools.” For beginners, tweezers are one of the essential tools. Tweezers can help us easily pick up and place false eyelashes, ensuring precision and convenience during the application process.

Factors to Consider When Choosing False Eyelashes

When selecting false eyelashes, we need to pay attention to multiple factors such as the base, lashes, style, and color. These factors will directly affect the final result, so it is essential to choose carefully.

Types of False Eyelash Stems

False eyelashes are typically attached to a stem, which can be categorized into three types based on material: cotton thread stems, transparent stems, and plastic stems.

Transparent stems are designed to resemble a thin fishing line, offering excellent invisibility on the eyes while providing strong support, making them highly popular among users.

Cotton thread stems are soft and can easily conform to the contour of the eyelashes. However, the black thread portion requires eyeliner techniques to cleverly conceal it.

The rugged and rigid plastic stems are a blessing for those with monolids or inner double eyelids. Their unique design can easily create a double eyelid effect, resulting in stunning false eyelash results after application.

Additionally, false eyelashes made with plastic stems have a rich layered texture, often using animal hair as material. While they may feel slightly uncomfortable at first, the effect they create is truly stunning. Especially when worn with heavy makeup, their beauty is truly highlighted.

Hair Type

False eyelashes are primarily categorized into two main types: synthetic fibers and natural hair. Currently, mink hair and horsehair are highly favored in the market due to their natural and high-quality characteristics.

Compared to synthetic fibers, animal hair has a more irregular texture and is typically paired with plastic stems, resulting in slightly reduced comfort during wear. However, their delicate and natural characteristics make them a favorite among many false eyelash enthusiasts. It is important to note that animal hair is more fragile and susceptible to damage from adhesive and makeup remover, making it less durable than synthetic fiber false eyelashes. However, low-quality synthetic fiber false eyelashes often have a reflective issue that affects their appearance, so extra care should be taken when selecting them.

When selecting fiber false eyelashes, an important consideration is whether the hair has undergone tip-sharpening treatment. Tip-sharpening refers to the process of specially grinding the tips of the eyelashes to achieve a delicate, natural-like tip, thereby enhancing the elegance and realism of the false eyelashes.

Falsies that have undergone tip-sharpening treatment feature tips with a delicate texture resembling real hair, significantly enhancing the falsies' refinement and realism, making them blend more naturally.

Falsies that have not undergone tip-sharpening treatment may have tips that appear rough and lack refinement, thereby affecting the overall aesthetic appeal and natural appearance.

Color Selection and Summary

When it comes to color selection, although there are many colorful options available on the market, if you are looking for a natural makeup effect, it is recommended to choose dark brown, grayish brown, and black. These colors are closer to nature and can make your makeup look more harmonious.
