Add va-va-voom to your appearance by following our tips to get the best eyelashes this summer.
Eyelashes have always been a significant part of women’s make-up routine. Some women are born with enviable long lashes and don’t have to pile on mascara to give their eyes that dramatic effect. But if you’re looking for an eyelash boost, you can now choose from a variety of styles – from glitter to 3D lashes.
Some of the latest eyelash trends might look like a lot of fun on the catwalk or on your favourite beauty influencer, but false lashes can be costly so you need to choose wisely.
If you’re considering getting falsies for the first time, this list of the hottest eyelash trends will guide you on your journey to glam.
HYBRID LASHES
The Hybrid is a method of using two different lash application techniques rolled into one. Its purpose is to thicken and layer natural lashes. Long lengths of lash strands are carefully placed on the lid to create a frame and then filled in with extra volume extensions to give a spiky textured look. Boom! You’re guaranteed a set of vibrant and natural-looking lashes.
3D LASHES
For a softer yet voluminous lash, try the 3D technique. It will work well if you have sparse natural lashes and just want to fill in the gaps. The look is created by adding a faux lash to each natural lash, creating triple volume. Giving you three times the thickness and three times the lusciousness – a dramatic yet simple look that will turn heads wherever you go.
RAINBOW LASHES
Just like the name suggests, rainbow lashes are about adding the colours of the rainbow to your eyes. Whether the lashes are bright or pastel, they will add a vibrant and fun touch to your look. To follow this trend you don’t have to pick all the colours of the rainbow but rather three or four colours at a time. To achieve the desired effect, distribute the coloured extensions evenly among your natural lashes. Perfect for a party night out!
GLITTER LASHES
A little bit of glamour every now and then is never a bad idea! So why not sprinkle some sparkle on your eyelids this summer with glitter eyelashes. You can get glitter mascara at the store but it can be a bit of a hassle to remove. These lashes are great for an evening look when the lights catch your eye and give you that ultra-glam make-up look. Pro tip: for extra glitz use shimmery eyeliner on your lids.
EYELASH JEWELLERY
Although it might seem a bit OTT, you can actually put jewellery on your eyelashes. It’s important not to overdo it or you’ll end up looking like you’re about to go on-stage for your big performance. To nail the look elegantly go for subtle designs when buying your jewelled eyelashes, choose ones with a few tiny diamonds, studs or pearls. These lashes aim to draw attention to your eyes but they shouldn’t overshadow your whole look, so keep it simple and classy.
NEON LASHES
Neon is a huge trend in fashion and accessories right now. Neon eyelashes are a perfect way to experiment with brighter make-up colours, which you may have seen on the runway. But it’s not only reserved for the runway, you too can play with neon colours with your mascara or falsies. The great thing about this trend is that you can make it your own by adding your personal style and choosing colours that complement your outfit.
FEATHER ACCENTS
Yes, it might look bit extreme at first glance, but eyelashes with feather accents are super chic. The feathers are applied on the outer side of the top ends of your lashes. It’s less dramatic this way and will create the illusion of bigger eyes. These look very pretty without being too over the top.
HALF LASHES
Half lash extensions are the most practical and easy to apply. They are lightweight and comfortable to wear and applying them is not difficult. All you have to do is put on the lash glue and gently place the half lashes on to the tips of the natural lashes. This is the perfect way to extend your lash line or exaggerate a cat-eye look.
CLUMPY
The term clumpy means exactly what it sounds like – think applying dried-up mascara. It’s a retro trend that’s made a comeback in 2018. The lashes are strategically placed with gaps in-between to create an uneven look and rounded off with heavy mascara. Try not to make too many clumps as that could make your lashes look messy.
SPIDER EYES
It might sound scary but the spider-eye look gives you the effect of a spider’s legs on your lids. Think Twiggy and Diana Ross! Some lashes are kept shorter than others, the long ones add length –reaching the eyebrow. It’s all up to you how long and fluttery your lashes should be but try to not go overboard as they can take away the attention from your face.
TIP TO KEEP YOUR NATURAL LOOK
If you’re not keen on lash extensions, or following the trends you can keep your natural look and enhance your natural lashes. Products such as castor oil, grapeseed oil and aloe vera help with strengthening and lengthening your eyelashes. Invest in a good mascara and eyeliner to give your eyes some definition.
