Hi, everyone. Today we'll be taking a closer look at how to work with curly lashes.
These are all the things you need to create this look,
so take a screenshot and add it to your basket at the end of the video.
To begin with, we will place eyepatches just far enough away from the waterline to protect the
eye itself. But still protecting those bottom lashes from getting stuck to the top.
Start with the client’s eyes open with them looking at your shoulder,
and then have them close the eyes so that you can adjust the patch. When their eyes are closed,
you can add tape to the lower lids just to protect any lashes that have popped out from
under the eyepatches - this just keeps them nice and safe during the treatment.
Now we start with protein remover pads. Obviously, you can see here
Anastasia is not using the pad itself - a good way to get the most out of the product is to
take a lip applicator wand and dip it into the top of the eye pads, taking some of the product
onto those. This just means you can get a lovely deep cleanse of the lashes and the eyelid area.
Next we’ll be using the cleanser to rid the lashes of any oils, makeup residue, dust, and dirt that
might have collected that you can't quite see - this just helps to strip all of that away.
Lastly, we use Primer. This just rehydrates the lashes after the use of cleanser,
which is alcohol based so you can be quite drying.
Now we'll be drawing our map starting with the first lash, the last lash, and
marking the middle of the eye, and then equal sections all the way through the eye.
The longest length we’ll be using here is twelve millimeters,
and as this is a cat eye, we're only dropping down to ten in the outer corners.
Then towards the inner corners, we’ll drop all the way down to six to keep those finer,
shorter lashes nice and protected and to give a sexy sweep to the outside of the eye.
Now to start your application in the best way you're going to take a little bit of tape in the
inner corners and outer corner and just lift up the eyelid slightly. Because the lashes are curly,
they can see a bit lower on the eyepatch too, which can make an application a bit harder,
and because they sit so much higher being curly, you want to apply from
the bottom of the lash, so just lifting the eyelid here makes it so much easier.
Starting from the inner corners is always a good idea because it means that you can
cover those really short, fine lashes a lot more easily with the shorter fans as well.
So when you come to the end of your treatment, you don't have the fiddly bits left.
Something that you're about to see is Anastasia taking one eyelash extension
and applying it to a single natural lash. This in itself isn't out of the ordinary, of course,
but what she does next is stick it to the eyepatch itself. The reason for this is
that the model's eyes are starting to open as she has fallen asleep, which is very common.
But we don't ever want the model's eyes to open while we're doing their lashes,
because then the glue fumes can get in and cause chemical burns inside the eye.
Let's just now sit back and enjoy the application process.
When you're satisfied, all of the lashes are covered, just go through lash by lash and
layer by layer to separate any stickies that have occurred during the set. Any stickies you do find,
make sure you grip them nice and tight with your tweezers and just gently pull them apart.
This just ensures that your client's eyelashes can grow as they normally would without being
pulled by any lash that is next to it, stuck to it that isn't growing at the same rate.
Once you have finished off the stickie check, just brush through the lashes to ensure they're nice
and fluffy and check them underneath to make sure you've got a nice, full top line with no gaps.
Give it a little brush again just to fluff them up
ready for the reveal. Remove the eyepatches, ensuring that the tape doesn't pull at the
lower lashes, and you're ready to reveal the set to your client!
