Effective eyelash extension with preservation of the natural effect (the so-called "classic") is a direct refutation of the fact that by adding artificial hairs to the eyelids, you can achieve only a vulgar unnatural look.
Knowing the peculiarities of the classical type of procedure, as well as observing the basic recommendations for the care of eyelashes after extension, a girl can forget about the need for daily makeup for a long time in order to correctly place color accents on her eyes.
What is the natural effect of eyelash extension
The natural effect of eyelash extension visually looks as natural as possible, simply complementing the volume of hairs already on the eyelids. Subject to sufficient qualifications of the master and high-quality work performed, even a person who constantly does such a procedure for himself will not be able to distinguish artificial eyelashes from natural (tinted with ink).
Classic build-up is not able to correct the imperfections in the girl's appearance (for example, the asymmetry of the eyes), it is aimed rather at creating a natural volume. To preserve a natural look, lashmakers choose working materials that are as close as possible in their length and thickness to the client's existing hairs.
Usually, in creating a natural effect, 2, maximum, 3 lengths of artificial eyelashes are used, placing them in ascending order, starting from the inner corner of the eye. Before deciding on the advisability of choosing the classic version of eyelash extension, the girl needs to carefully study the existing advantages and disadvantages of the procedure in question:

So that the result of building up with a natural effect does not disappoint the client, before the procedure, the lashmaker discusses with her how appropriate the selected type of procedure will be in a particular case, taking into account the color type of the appearance, the shape of the eyes, the presence of visual defects in the face area.
Despite the fact that the classic type of extension is the most versatile in comparison with its counterparts.
It will look most advantageous on:
- owners of regular facial features (for example, almond-shaped eyes and an oval face);
- girls who do not visit a solarium and spend most of their time in a temperate climate (in hot countries, artificial hairs, due to their small amount and light structure, will fall off very quickly, after about 1.5 - 2 weeks);
- those who dye every day to emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes (if a girl never puts on makeup, then the classic build-up will look unusual on her not only for herself, but also for others, which will provoke close attention to artificial hairs designed to be as invisible as possible) ;
- business women or creative personalities who are obliged to look fresh and flawless at any time of the day (for example, after a long night flight, natural extensions will help its owner save time on tidying herself up, tinted eyes and getting rid of a tired look).
Despite the fact that the natural effect of eyelash extension is suitable for the absolute majority of women, it is not recommended to choose it:
- with uneven growth of natural hairs;
- if your eyelashes have a light shade or fade when exposed to the sun;
- in the presence of scars, scars in the eye area (extended eyelashes will draw attention to the eyes, which will make the appearance defect more noticeable);
- with pronounced asymmetry of the location, shape or cut of the eyes.
Building scheme
The natural effect of eyelash extension implies lash-by-lash attachment of artificial hairs to real ones.
It is achieved by the master with strict adherence to the generally accepted sequence of actions during the procedure:
- At the initial (or preparatory) stage of building, the lashmaker removes cosmetics from the client's eyelids, after which it degreases natural eyelashes with a special composition (primer). Special strips with an adhesive base are glued to the girl's eyelids, designed to separate the upper and lower eyelashes.
- The master places artificial hairs on the working surface, with which he plans to work, a small amount of glue (for the classic extension, one of 2 types of glue is used - colorless and black, which additionally creates the effect of eyed down), tweezers and cotton swabs (to remove excess glue) ...
- With the help of tweezers, the lashmaker takes one artificial hair and dips its base into the glue with a stretching motion.
- Having previously separated one natural hair from the rest, the master at the next stage attaches the eyelash extension to the real one. For the convenience of work and to ensure the best grip, the lashmaker begins to build up eyelashes from the inner corner of the eye, then moves to the outer corner and only after that fills the remaining space.
Considering that the density of the clients' own eyelashes, as well as their expectations for the final result of the work, differ, extension masters use several subspecies of the natural effect in their practice.
For instance:
- Full extension... The entire ciliary space along the upper eyelid is filled. Modern masters with sufficient qualifications can offer the client to increase the volume of the lower lash line.
- Partial extension (or sparse build-up), in which the volume increases in certain areas of the ciliary row. This type of transformation is relevant when the growth of natural hairs is uneven, natural pigment is burned out, or the need to slightly adjust the shape of the eyes, for example, adding length and volume only in the outer corners of the eyes.
Eyelashes 2D and 3D
To create more volume of eyelashes, lashmakers recommend their clients to choose an extension of 2D and 3D effect. The main difference between such techniques from the classics is the number of artificial eyelashes attached to one real one.
With a natural effect, the master attaches only 1 hair, with 2D and 3D - 2 and 3, respectively. With these types of extensions, you can correct asymmetry, change the shape of the eyes and significantly increase the density of your own eyelashes.
Materials
The materials used for volumetric build-up are selected by the lashmaker individually for each client.
Artificial hairs are of several types:
- Sable... The most lush and voluminous eyelashes with a diameter of up to 0.2 mm. Despite the fact that sable visually looks more luxurious and more profitable than its counterparts, it is not recommended to choose it for girls with increased eye sensitivity. This is the heaviest type of artificial hair, which is also characterized by increased rigidity and lack of plasticity.
- Mink... This is an intermediate option. Artificial hairs of this type are as close as possible in their external characteristics to natural human eyelashes, which makes them universal for use in any type of extension.
- Silk... The softest material used by the craftsmen when visually correcting the shape or cut of the client's eyes. They usually have a large curve, making them the most suitable for a holiday or party.
The natural effect of eyelash extension, as well as volumetric analogs of the procedure, requires the use of hairs of various bends by a lashmaker in the process of working.
The most popular among them are eyelashes:
- Bend J. Hair with minimal curl, suitable for extensions in the corners of the eyes.
- Bend B. In terms of their external characteristics, they are similar to the previous version. They are used for extensions for girls whose natural eyelashes also do not have sufficient bend.
- Bend C. The most versatile option with a medium curve. Suitable for any type of extension, regardless of the initial data of the client.
- Bend CC. The most curled eyelashes, which are usually extended when creating an image for public appearances or photo shoots.
In addition to the above main characteristics of artificial hairs, eyelash extensions can also vary in color. To diversify their appearance, girls usually ask to build up blue, green, blue, pink or white eyelashes.
Effects
Modern lashmakers practice a number of different techniques to meet the needs of as many of their clients as possible.
With the help of various methods of building, professionals can achieve:
- Natural effect... In this technique, fake eyelashes must exactly follow the curvature, thickness and length of the real hairs. A natural look is achieved through the use of different lengths of eyelashes, attached in opposite areas of the eyelid. In order to mask the presence of artificial material in front of the girl's eyes as much as possible, the master may suggest growing brown eyelashes or hairs matched to natural ones.
- Puppet effect... Extension, in which the openness of the eyes is ensured by attaching artificial hairs of the same length to real eyelashes. Visually, such eyelashes look as if they were deliberately leveled with scissors, as they do in the manufacture of dolls.
- The effect of painted eyelashes... It is achieved by attaching to the strongest natural artificial hairs, which are distinguished by the greatest length and thickness. As part of such an extension, the increase in the total volume of eyelashes does not occur, but only the natural line of eyelash growth is emphasized.
- Fox effect. Involves visually stretching the shape of the eye in the horizontal plane. Such extensions are most suitable for owners of round eyes.
- Squirrel effect. As part of this extension, artificial hairs of the greatest length are attached in the middle of the outer third of the eyelid, as a result of which there is a visual extension of the eye upward and slightly to the side.
- Feline effect. To achieve this effect, it is necessary to visually round off the ciliary row, and then move the outer corner of the eye upward. The length of the material used should be increasing, significantly differing from each other at the inner and outer edges of the eyes.
Creation schemes
The natural effect of eyelash extension was fundamental in the development of schemes for the visual increase in the volume of the eyelash row.
That is why 2D and 3D building techniques are similar to each other:

Owners of weak eyelashes should not choose a volume extension.
Despite the lightness of the material used in the production, such hairs make natural hairs more brittle, creating a maximum load for them with their weight.
How long do eyelashes last without correction
The natural effect after eyelash extension lasts from 2 weeks to 1 month.
The condition of the extended hairs is influenced by a number of external factors, including:
- The lifestyle of their owner and her observance of the lashmaker's recommendations for the care of eyelashes after the procedure (for girls who are used to rubbing their eyes, sleeping with their face in a pillow or crying a lot, artificial hairs will disappear after 1-1.5 weeks).
- The state of human health (the stability of the hormonal background of the girl). If there are no problems with this, then you can count on long-term wearing of extended eyelashes. Otherwise, the ciliary row will begin to thin out already after the first 2 weeks after the procedure.
- The speed of the body's regenerative processes. This indicator affects the frequency of natural change of natural eyelashes, along with which artificial ones also fall out.
- Correctness in the choice of materials for building. If the lashmaker incorrectly selected the length, thickness and bend of artificial hairs, they, creating an excessive load on real eyelashes, will begin to fall out already 5-7 days after extension.
Eyelash extensions care rules
In order for the extended eyelashes to retain their original appearance as long as possible, it is necessary after the procedure to strictly follow the recommendations of the master related to caring for artificial hairs at home.
It:
- during sleep, do not lie down with your face in the pillow;
- do not paint eyelashes with mascara (makeup removers destroy the composition of the glue, weakening the adhesion of artificial hairs to natural ones);
- minimize the number of eye touches with your hands;
- avoid applying to the eye area with oils in the composition;
- wipe with tonics or micellar water, without touching the eyelash extensions;
- avoid mechanical curling of eyelashes with forceps or special tweezers;
- carry out the correction in a timely manner, filling the ciliary row with additional hairs placed in place of the previously dropped ones.
With classic eyelash extension, you can achieve a natural effect.
To emphasize the natural beauty and preserve the result of the procedure for a long time, it is necessary not only to carefully choose a lashmaker, but also to follow the recommendations of a professional for caring for artificial hairs after the procedure. Provided that the extension is carried out correctly, there will be no negative impact on natural eyelashes.
