Luscious Lashes for life!!



Dust off those old simulated  eyelashes , because they are  back and with a  vengeance! Fake lashes changed the look of   for our ancestors and  they continue to impress. As a nurse I know that eye lash implant surgery use to be illegal and not approved by the FDA i n the USA, but things change and you can choose to indulge in the latest eye craze Many other countries were performing eyelash transplant surgery for years prior to the US. As long as  you've got the cash someone is always willing to perform all manner of surgeries.. I feel strongly about the  preciousness of sight and  I  do not want anyone to point the finger of blame at me should you deliberately seek out  this new service. Keep in mind that blindness  is not what a fashionista is after, so be careful! You want to look good and actually see yourself looking good and being admired for your eye-fetching fashions.
 There are less evasive alternatives right  here in the USA which the FDA has approved called,  "Eye Lash Extensions" the reason sited at present for allowing extensions is that they don't involve actually surgery, since the eye lash extensions are glued to your own eye lashes. I find this potentially controversial subject as a medical professional, since any involvement or manipulation of a naturally sterile environment as the"Human"  eye presents certain risk, like infection, foreign bodies in the eyes (glues excess hair extensions), dry eyes and the list goes on. On-the-other-hand as a fashionista the promise of long thick beautiful lashes cannot be denied!  For myself should I ever  opt for eye-lash extensions I will do a whole lot of research and questioning of any  potential  beautician that I might consider for such a delicate job. Skill is imperative so is hygiene, cost  and pros and cons involved in caring and enjoying your nature -enhanced -lashes.  What ever fake lashes are setting trends and with the vivid colors and varieties a fashionista can really rock a new look, but I decided to look around and do a little investigation as exactly what cosmetic interventions is available to those not born with luscious lashes. Here is  what I found out and  thought was worth a shout-out to my readers. What To Look For




Who wouldn't love to have the lashes that the star, rich & famous, models and "It fashion Crowd" sport we all would, but we need to do a little research to make this treasured dream a reality.
You desire  quality eye makeup that works and for a quick full look you can  grab your favorite simulated eyelashes. An excellent addition to any Fashionista's assemble providing an easy professional finishing touch.The surgery is not for everyone. The transplanted eyelashes grow just like head hair and need to be trimmed regularly and sometimes curled. Very curly head hair makes for eyelashes with excessive curl. Surgeons are using "plug and sew" techniques to give those who want and can afford it  long, sweeping lashes once achieved only by glued on extensions and thick mascara. These lashes reportedly continue to grow. Longer, thicker lashes are an ancient and natural gift of beauty. Eyelash transplantation does for the individual what their genes did not. It enhances  your existing lashes allowing you to grab attention on the spot.


Eyelash transplantation can be used to replace eyelashes that have been damaged by trauma, or Under the procedure, a small incision is made at the back of the scalp to remove 30 or 40 hair follicles which are carefully sewn one by one onto the client's eyelids. Only light sedation and local anesthetics are used and the cost is around $3,000 an eye. The use of the single-follicle hair transplantation technique enables new, living and growing eyelashes to be permanently restored to the eyelid using microsurgery.Using comfortable, computerized local anesthesia the procedure ordinarily done two hours in an out-patient setting. Hair follicles from the back of the scalp ) are harvested and then implanted into the eyelid. Absorbable stitches are used to seal the donor area, which remains undetectable both during and after the healing process. Usually 24 to 40 or more lashes can be placed per eyelid during a session. The implanted follicles grow and produce hair permanently. The newly growing lashes is suppose to have the same characteristics as scalp hair. The lashes will need to be routinely trimmed and curled. An‘eyelash perm’ is recommended for Divas  with straight hair.


Of course drugs for pain relief is provided as well as medication to reduce swelling. As with any out-patient procedure it's best to have a friend/companion accompany to and from from ambulatory care facility/or hospital where your procedure will be performed.  It's normal that  hours post procedure, some discomfort may be experienced in both your  donor area, and your eyelid. Your health-care provider is suppose to instructed you in  your post-op care and cleansing of your eyelids and new lashes. Some mild swelling and/or bruising is normal and may last up to two weeks. The absorbable stitches may take up to one month to dissolve completely. It is recommended that eye makeup (including mascara) be kept to an absolute minimum  post-op and during your healing process (1-2  weeks).




Now that we have talked about eyelash transplant surgery lets look lets talk about simulated lashes: False eyelashes are responsible for giving millions a must-have look. There are different types of false eye lashes that can be used to enhance your style or even create a new spectacular Wow look!  Simulated lashes are amongst  the most popular products for creating lovely long eyelashes. There's no evidence that the formulas in drugstore mascaras are less effective than the expensive designer brands. Never-the-less people are hypnotized by brand names and trends.. Personally I wasn't born with a gold spoon in my mouth so cost and quality are important to me. These days a good long lasting mascara that you've tested and found to be satisfactory is right for you. I am not impressed by the designer cosmetics but rather how effective, hard wearing, attractive and affordable they are is my supreme focus. And if a drug-store brand beats how a designer brand more power to them!  If you want mascara to give your lashes the most volume, reviewers repeatedly say just one coat of DiorShow Backstage Makeup Mascara produces dramatic volume and provides nice length as well.  Amazon.com: Dior DiorShow Backstage Makeup Mascara is one of the highest-rated mascaras at Amazon.com where it receives high marks.Lancome Definicils Waterproof Mascara lives up to its washable counterpart, say reviews. Experts and users both report this long-wearing pick does a great job of lengthening and defining. Individual False Eyelashes – Perfect for everyday wear.
Natural False Eyelashes – Enhance any eye makeup look Eyelash Extensions – A new way to have longer lashes Feather False Eyelashes


The first thing you need to do is determine which color you should use. If you have dark hair, brunette or  black hair use black eyelashes.  Dark brown eyelashes are compatible with red hair, Blondie and light brown. Select the right length and fullness. It's best to select a pair of simulated lashes which appear a little short because they’ll actually look longer once applied.  you Let me say that 90% of simulated lashes must be trimmed prior to applying them..
You want to create a natural look and feathered or individual lashes work well for this. Makeup artist to the stars and models generally use large over-the-top simulated lashes so that they appear properly on screen. A little thicker and longer than you would normally wear for daytime use.  Customizing your simulated eyelashes take practice so don't be discouraged. Simulated  lashes look better when they’re customized to your eye's natural contour, so use a cosmetic tweezers to trim them.


A.Start by placing the eyelash (without glue) at the outer corner of your eye setting lightly on top of your eyelashes. Judge how much needs to be trimmed off the fake lash by looking at how much of it extends beyond the inner corner of your own lashes.
B. Remove the lash. To trim you want to trim from the outer edge of the lash, not the inner edge. This is why you will need to fit a second time to check for fit. So, set it back to see if you’ve trimmed enough. It’s better to trim in stages to prevent taking too much off.


Once you have got the width trimmed to the correct size on one eye, then fit for the second eye. Most people have a slight difference in the size of your eyes. It makes a difference in the comfort level, so it’s important to take this extra step.  Once you’ve trimmed the width, take a look at the length, remember to trim them in stages.




Different types of false lashes allow you to achieve almost any type of look you want. Your lashes can go from bold and dark, to natural and light. They come in a variety of colors including all the shades found in natural lashes. Some are time-consuming to apply while others go on in minutes. 
Strips of Lashes
The original types of strip false lashes are still available today but they are more refined and detailed than when first developed. This type of lash is glued along the lid at the eyelash line. This is done with either an adhesive strip that is attached to the lash or with special false eyelash glue. The strip type of lash is not as natural-looking as some of the others offered and can look false when up close.


Cluster Lashes
A more natural looking option of lashes comes in small bunches or clusters. This type of lash has about ten hairs in each cluster. These clusters are glued in-between your own lashes. This is a very natural look and it is hard to tell that they are false, even from up close. This application is more time-consuming than the strip type.


Single Lashes
The individual lashes that are added in between your own, are the most natural-looking of all false eyelashes. These are dipped in glue and added throughout your own eyelashes. The amount used will vary upon the thickness you want to achieve. You cannot tell that these eyelashes are false unless you examine them with a magnifying glass. This is the most time-consuming application of all lash types, but if you are going for the natural look this will be worth it.


Colors
False eyelashes are offered in the natural colors for a realistic look. They also come in purple, green, blue, pink, orange and almost any other color. Colored lashes can be worn out to clubs when wanting to accent your evening attire or can be an addition to your Halloween costume. There are silver, gold and crystal clear lashes available in many stores and online. Multicolor lashes are available if you really want your eyes to stand out.


Lengths
Several lengths are offered in false eyelashes. Long, medium and short are the more common lengths available in all three of the types. Strip eyelashes are offered in lengths that make up different looks such as "The Starlet," where the uneven length lashes impart a star effect. There is a variety of designer eyelash lengths available in the strip type. All lashes can be cut to a length that suits your personal taste. If you are unsure of the length that you would like, it would be better to go longer.


Quick Application
For a quick, easy and natural look you can add single eyelashes into your mascara. Put a few lashes at a time on the tip of your applicator and then push them into the mascara tube. When you put your mascara on, these tiny follicles attach to your lash line giving you thicker and longer lashes without too much fuss. The mascara acts like a glue keeping them in place.
