Long, rich lashes are an important part of a perfect makeup look, and to achieve a glamorous look, many women opt for eyelash extensions. An innovative trend in the beauty industry is eyeliner-like eyelash extensions. This special application method adds a dramatic touch to your eyes and puts your eyes in the spotlight. If you want to discover more about this look, the materials needed to achieve it and how you can choose a reliable lash artist to give it to you, read on!

What are eyeliner effect lash extensions?

 

Eyeliner eyelash extensions are an innovative technique of applying eyeliner extensions one strand at a time that mimics the eye-lengthening effect normally achieved with eyeliner. In this process, thicker or longer eyelash extensions are used in the outer corner of the eye to accentuate the lash line, creating the illusion of eyeliner. This look is perfect for people who want to achieve a semi-permanent makeup effect and accentuate their eyes.

If you opt for this technique, you can reduce the time you spend on everyday makeup or creating your liner. Also, eyeliner-effect eyelash extensions can be a good option for you if you want to maintain an effortlessly feminine and elegant look.

What materials are needed to achieve this look?

Before opting for this technique, talk to a professional lash artist to determine if the look is right for the shape and size of your eyes. Everyone has unique eye features, and an eyelash extension specialist can give you personalised advice and recommendations. In general, to achieve an eyeliner-effect look using eyelash extensions strand by strand, certain materials and tools are required, such as:

  • Qualitative eyelash extensions - to achieve an eyeliner effect, use black eyelash extensions, which provide more definition and contrast. In the outer corner of the eyes,L-curve eyelash extensions are usually applied as they provide a more intense lifting effect. The size of the extensions varies, depending on the shape and length of the natural lashes, from 6-7 millimetres in the inner corner to 11-12 millimetres in the outer corner;
  • Adhesives for eyelash extensions - as with any other look achieved with eyelash extensions, a quality adhesive is also required in this case. If you have sensitive skin or suffer from allergies, ask your specialist to use a hypoallergenic adhesive that won't irritate your eyes. Barhat formulas offer good strength and increased durability;
  • Tools and accessories for applying eyelash extensions - for precise application of extensions, the lash artist will also use some special tools such as tweezers, eyelash brushes, an adhesive ring and patches for separating the lower lashes;
  • Extension maintenance products - at the end, after the extensions have been successfully applied, the specialist may recommend certain products that will help you maintain them properly. An eyelash cleansing foam is often suitable for maintaining and removing eye make-up or impurities.

How to apply eyeliner extensions to create the eyeliner effect

 

The first step to achieving the eyeliner effect is to prepare the natural lashes. The specialist will thoroughly cleanse the eye area to remove any impurities, either using a non-greasy cleanser or an eyelash cleansing solution. Then, the lashes are gently brushed to remove any fallen or tangled strands, and the process continues after the lashes dry.

To achieve a natural and harmonious eyeliner effect, the technician will choose the right eyelash extensions for the shape and size of your eyes. Thinner and shorter strands will be set in the inner corner of the eye, then the sizes gradually increase towards the outer corner to achieve a delicate curve and a well-defined look.

Depending on the specifics of your eyes and the recommended technique, the specialist may apply the extensions in a single row, along the natural lashes, or in layers for a richer effect and a more intense look.

At the end, your lashes are brushed and groomed, and the specialist will give you some maintenance tips to make your look last as long as possible. As a rule, it is recommended to avoid contact with water for at least 24 hours after application to allow the glue to set properly. It's also helpful to brush your lashes every day to prevent tangling and avoid oil-based products as these can damage the glue.

Tips for choosing a lash artist to give you this look

Among the most important things to consider when choosing a lash artist are their knowledge and experience in the field. A professional lash artist can work with a variety of lash types and will understand how to create the eyeliner effect you want. You can ask for examples of previous work to get an idea of the results you might achieve.

Also, ask the lash artist about the products she uses to create the look. Low-quality formulas can lead to damage to natural lashes and cause irritation or allergies. Check that the lash artist uses safe adhesives and trusted brands, such as Barhat, during their work.

Before choosing a lash artist, you can also ask for recommendations or impressions from other clients. Look for reviews online or ask the lash artist to give you the contact details of satisfied customers. They can give you a more detailed view of the overall experience, from the comfort level experienced during the procedure to the duration of the results. You can also request before and after photos to see the lash artist's results.

Last but not least, a professional lash artist should communicate openly with you, answer your questions and make you feel comfortable during the procedure. Before beginning the application of extensions, discuss your expectations and determine together the shape and length of the eyelash extensions to be applied.

Eyeliner eyelash extensions are a revolutionary technique that gives you a dramatic, well-defined look without applying eyeliner every day. If you heed our advice and choose a reliable lash artist with enough experience, you're sure to achieve a seductive look that makes your eyes pop!
