Eye Enhancement Treatments You Need To Try

There are so many beauty treatments on the market right now that you couldn’t possibly try every single one out. That is, unless, you’re willing to spend your entire disposable income working out what will work best for you. So, for now, let’s just focus on your eye area. Eyes are big when it comes to beauty at the moment, with fashion brands, celebrities, and beauty companies all emphasizing the area with various products, types of makeup, and different treatments. So, here are few ways that you can preen your eyelashes and eyebrows to perfection!

Eyelashes

For decades, people have been obsessed by eyelashes. They are such a minor facial feature! But they really can have a huge impact on how attractive people find you. This is because longer eyelashes can give your eyes the appearance of being larger, which is a universal symbol of youth and fertility. But if you haven’t been born with naturally long, thick, or curled lashes, not to worry! There are a couple of things that you can do to create this illusion and enhance their look beside using mascara. Here are a couple to consider.

Fake Lashes

The cheapest and easiest way to give the illusion of long lashes is to try fake eyelashes. These come in a box and are attached just above the line of your upper eyelashes with a thin layer of eyelash glue. Or you can purchase individual fake eyelash clusters and glue those on top of your natural lashes one by one to fill in areas you want filled. This is a tricky technique to get to grips with at first, but with a little practice, you’ll quickly become a pro!

Eyelash Extensions

A more expensive but more convincing and semi-permanent solution is eyelash extensions. They are applied individually by a professional to give a completely natural look with sensitive specialist glue that avoids eye irritation. If this sounds good to you, you can read more here.

Eyebrows

Eyebrows have gone through many different trends over the years. In fact, if you look into it, each decade has its own distinct style! The 1920s saw women with extremely thin, relatively straight-line brows, with actors like Clara Bow inspiring the nation with extreme plucking and pencil lines. During the 1930s, brows become a little thicker and a little more arched, with actors like Jean Harlow using them to their dramatic advantage.

The 1940s let go of the tweezers and embraced more natural, fuller looking shapes, whereas Marilyn Monroe brought a more brushed look to the 1950s. In the 1960s, eyebrows took a backseat as people focused more on bright eyeshadows and drawn on lashes. This was followed up with the 70s obsession with waxing until bushy brows returned in the 1980s. The 90s once again saw thin shapes adorn the faces of models such as Kate Moss and the 2000s saw this expand into barely-there shapes. Now, by the 2010s, eyebrows are a major point of focus on our faces again. Eyebrow pomades and powders have hit the store shelves, and bold, perfectly shaped and colored in brows are on trend. So, here’s how to keep up with the current desired look!

Threading

Eyebrow threading is perhaps the best option if you want to work with a low budget and simply want a shape up. It’s an ancient hair removal technique, originating in Asia and the Middle East. Waxing removes a layer of skin from the sensitive area above your eye. Threading is much more appropriate for sensitive skin as it only removes the hair. It is also much more precise than plucking, taking away even the finest hairs and giving a more pronounced shape. The technique uses a piece of cotton thread which is twisted into a double strand and swept across the area where hair is to be removed. The unwanted hairs are lifted from the follicle and disposed of. The entire process takes around five minutes and is relatively painless.

HD Brows

HD Brows, otherwise known as “high definition” brows is another form of hair removal technique but follows a seven-step process. It is also a branded treatment, which means that only specialists who have been trained will be able to carry it out legitimately. You start out by having a consultation. The practitioner can get to know exactly what you want from your experience. They will ask what color you want your brows, as well as figure out the best shape to compliment your facial features. They will then apply a custom blended tint to your brows.

When most salons tint, they generally have the choice of three tones: blonde, brown, or black. But HD Brows acknowledge that everyone has slightly different hair colouration. They will be able to blend the shade that will meet your needs perfectly. They will then use an exclusive brow mapping technique to shape your brows perfectly using various hair removal techniques. This includes waxing, threading, plucking, and trimming. Finally, brows will be finished with specialist makeup!

Microblading

Microblading is by far the most expensive treatment from this list. It is, however, the perfect solution for anyone with thin brows who wants a bolder and fuller look. This is a semi-permanent form of brow styling and is essentially a form of tattooing artistry. A pigment is implanted under your skin with a manual handheld tool (rather than a machine like a tattoo gun). Hair-like strokes are drawn to mimic the appearance of natural hair. It gives the most natural looking brows possible that will look perfect all the time.

While pain is relative, it’s generally said to be tolerable. It feels like having little scratches that are more uncomfortable than hurtful. You will need touch-ups every six months. It will give you a strong brow look that won’t be affected by choosing not to wear makeup or water. They’re perfect for when you have a holiday coming up.

These are just a few ways that you can enhance your natural beauty with specialist treatments to your eyelashes and eyebrows. Because I am so fair my natural eyebrows and eyelashes are blond, and therefore enhancing my eye areas is a big deal to me! I hope this helps someone else out there with relatable concerns!
