How to highlight your eyes without mascara?
Highlighting your eyes is essential for a more harmonious face. But is mascara an essential accessory? Discover our tips for highlighting your eyes without mascara.
Mascara is a makeup accessory that is widely used to highlight the beauty of your eyes and boost the natural volume of your eyelashes. However, it can also be restrictive (black marks on the face, discomfort around the eyes, clumps of material on your eyelashes). Fortunately, there are tips to enhance your look without using mascara.
Grandma's tips for increasing the volume of your eyelashes
To boost the volume of your eyelashes, an effective grandmother's tip is to apply a little Vaseline to previously cleaned eyelashes. The beneficial active ingredients present in Vaseline will strengthen the elasticity of your eyelashes and activate their growth for naturally more voluminous eyelashes. The ideal is to carry out this beauty routine at night before going to bed. This will allow you to have sublimated eyelashes as soon as you wake up. You can of course replace Vaseline with our range of Revitalash eyelash products, specially designed to revitalize and highlight the natural beauty of eyelashes.
The eyelash curler
The eyelash curler is a very practical beauty accessory to accentuate the natural curve of your eyelashes.
For a guaranteed result, use it on clean lashes. Position your eyelash curler close to the root of your lashes and press on your accessory for about ten seconds. Then, repeat this operation on the middle of your lashes and, finally, on the lengths. Its effect can easily last a whole day and allows you to obtain a beautiful curl without having to add mascara.
However, be careful about the quality of the equipment you use. For a consistently satisfactory result, also remember to clean your eyelash curler well after each use.
False eyelashes
Applying false eyelashes is an ideal solution if you want to enjoy XXL volume for a day or an evening. Easy to apply, false eyelashes are stuck to your upper lash line using a special glue that is not aggressive for the eyes. They can therefore easily replace mascara.
In addition, they come in several shapes and sizes depending on the effect you want to achieve. Finally, another advantage is that they can be removed quickly by applying a little water to your eyelids.
The coloring
To avoid having to apply mascara to your eyelashes every morning, you can also opt for tinting your eyelashes. This technique allows you to enjoy a more pronounced shade that will highlight your eyelashes.
Another advantage is that this technique allows you to enjoy colored lashes for up to 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the lifespan of your hair follicles. On the other hand, if you have sparse and thin lashes, lash tinting is not ideal, as it will draw attention to the empty areas of your eyelid.
Eyelash enhancement
Eyelash enhancement allows you to keep ultra-curled eyelashes for at least 3 weeks. This technique must be performed in a salon, because it requires know-how and professional equipment. Your eyelashes will be glued to a silicone strip for a short period of time. Then, they will be coated with a specific product so that they keep their curved shape. The lotions applied generally contain nourishing active ingredients to stimulate the growth of your eyelashes and deeply hydrate them.
Please note that it is entirely possible to combine eyelash enhancement and tinting ! This will give you the opportunity to enjoy a more intense color and a more pronounced curl for several weeks.
This technique will therefore have the advantage of allowing you to enhance the curvature of your eyelashes by leaving aside your mascara. However, eyelash enhancement will not necessarily be very effective for women with very short eyelashes.
Eyelash extensions
Finally, to compensate for mascara, you can also opt for a natural eyelash extension . This beauty technique must, like eyelash enhancement, absolutely be carried out in a salon.
This new trend is characterized by the addition of extensions on your natural eyelashes. The strong point of this method is that you can customize the shape and volume of your extensions from start to finish for a result that is completely in line with your expectations. You should know that an extension lasts about 4 weeks, which corresponds to the lifespan of your eyelashes, as for the previous technique.
The only drawback is that the glue used for eyelash extensions can cause allergies in some people. So be careful before you start. However, despite its small drawbacks, eyelash extensions can be an interesting technique that allows you to have beautiful eyelashes without having to use mascara.
