If nature has not rewarded with beautiful and thick eyelashes, there are several ways to achieve this effect. First of all, this is the use of a special curling mascara. You should not pay attention to the products of cheap brands, otherwise such mascara will not give the desired effect. It is best to immediately purchase expensive and high-quality products. However, even in this case, one should not count on a stunning or long-lasting result. After all, you will have to curl the cilia constantly.
Another popular way to curl your eyelashes is to use special curling tongs, which are sold in almost every beauty store. Eyelash curlers do not lose their popularity even today, with the advent of more modern methods. However, forceps are also required to be used every day, so there is a high probability of injury or even pulling out the cilia.
Except for the methods listed above, you can also use thermal eyelash perm. But this procedure also gives only a temporary effect.
Due to the fact that such methods give only a short-term result, in recent years, the procedure for perming eyelashes has become increasingly popular. This method allows not only very quickly, but also completely safely to give the desired length and expressiveness to the eyelashes. The cost of this procedure is quite acceptable, and the effect will last for about 1-2 months.
