The glamorous lashes you see in magazines are rarely the exact lashes you’ll see when you meet the model in person. If you want to know the secrets to having beautiful, dark and visible eyelashes, the best option is to learn the basics of eyelash perming.

Eyelash perming is used for people who prefer to go out without eye makeup. This procedure also offers men and women a more natural way to make eyelashes more visible and voluminous. Active women can benefit from eyelash perming because eyelash curls will not disappear even under extreme physical conditions. Today’s men also use eyelash perming to dramatically improve appearance without a flashy change.

Eyelash perming can take thirty to forty-five minutes. For around $50 worth of permanent products, the effects can last up to one to four months (depending on the brand used). For men and women who wish to darken their appearance, the permanent product can be easily mixed with mild vegetable dyes.

Basic instructions for perming eyelashes

Before using the perm kit, be sure to remove any contact lenses or glasses and makeup with oil-free makeup removers. Allow eye area to dry completely for ten minutes or more. Dip ten cotton pads in lukewarm water and squeeze out excess water.

Your eyelash perm kit should include a bar (in small, medium, or large sizes). A small bar is ideal for people with short lashes or if you want a tighter lash curl. The medium rods are the most common because it is a versatile curling iron. Large wands, on the other hand, are appropriate for people with long lashes or who prefer loose curls.

Most eyelash perm kits contain a setting lotion, perm lotion, nourishing agent, eye cleanser, and perm glue. The trickiest part of perming your eyelashes is applying the perm glue and determining the consistency of each part. However, all the steps of eyelash perming can be done in ten minutes or less. Be sure to wear protective gloves and read the instructions before perming your eyelashes.

Most eyelash perming kits are recommended for professional use to prevent potential accidents. It is best to have your lashes done by an experienced technician to ensure proper application and longer lasting results. In cases where the perm solution or glue gets in your eyes, be sure to rinse your eyes with water immediately.
