COSPLAY —— How much do you know?

On 6th June 2016

COSPLAY is short for “ Costume Play “. It’s an action that use of clothing, jewelry, props, and make-up to play the role of animation and games. We called the people who play COSPLAY COSER. In East Asia, North America and Europe, a various animation exhibition will be held each year. The animation culture is rising all over the world, and the key to success lies in the common nature of art. One of the COSER said: “COSPLAY is a new way to show myself which makes me excited.”

The origin of COSPLAY dates back to the BC, but the real first animated characters of the COSPLAY appeared in the end of 1920s in the United States, he is Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse. This cute funny Mickey Mouse swept the world still now.

Japan as the originator of the COSPLAY in today’s world, the earliest COSPLAY appeared in 1955, at that time COSPLAY is just a dress between the children game. This situation has been maintained for nearly 20 years of time. In the 1990s, with the rapidly mature of Japanese animation and game industry COSPLAY started on the right track, become a very scale subsidiary culture of animation and game industry. It can be said that COSPLAY itself may be have a considerable development and understanding as a commercial promotion.

In contrast, COSPLAY appears late in the China mainland. But due to the mature COSPLAY in Japan, Taiwan and HongKong, the mainland’s COSPLAY growth rapidly and stable. Then in August 2000, the first session of the Chinese mainland COSPLAY competition is successfully held. In the recent years, because the opening of the animate show in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing and other regions, the mainland’s COSPLAY also has a certain degree of scale.

Now As the popularity of the game and the impact of foreign animation, more people began to like the COSPLAY in the mainland, and now there are a variety of COSPLAY groups on the Internet to enter people’s attention.

COSPLAY contest in the mainland- Qingdao Qualifying held in 2016.4.30-5.1, I have the honor to enter the scene to visit, thanks the show of the Cosers.

BEST HAIRSTYLES FROM THE MET GALA 2016

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 2nd June 2016

In Goodyard News

If you’ve been waiting for this year’s Met Gala –arguably fashion’s biggest, craziest night– this post is going to have you reaching for your hairstyling tools and opening up a new ‘wacky and wonderful hairstyles’ board on Pinterest. Like just about everyone else enthusiastic about fashion, I measure the year by two events– the Oscars for elegant styling inspiration and the Met Gala forwhen you’re craving something a little unusual.

I’ve compiled a list of the best hairstyles from the 2016 Met Gala: we’re talking about bold statements, fascinating choices and unusual pairings of people and fashions. It’s always interesting to see how celebs will tread the line between costume and couture. The minute we learned this year’s theme –Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology– I knew we were in for some seriously cool, futuristic looks and I wasn’t disappointed. Take a look.

Ciara

From the moment the theme was publicized, it was pretty clear we’d be seeing a lot of metallic at the 2016 Met Gala. However, just because something is predictable doesn’t mean it’s impact value has been compromised. Take, for example, Ciara.

The songstress wore her hair in a chrome-plated retro-inspired hairdo. I’m going to go with the assumption that the color/ finish are temporary and were styled only for the Met Gala theme, because it’s a hard look to maintain in the long run, even with a army of stylists to help you out. That said, as far as themes go it was quite on the nose but endearingly so. Not too many people would have thought of combining a metallic color and texture with a 1920s-esque hairdo, so the end result is rather arresting. It’s not everyday you think of silver-plated finger waves and a metallic Flapper but when it works, it works.

It took me a minute to choose between Ciara’s metallic do and Rita Ora’s silvery foil hair tattoos, but in the end I decided to go with Ciara’s look simply because it’s so much more dramatic. The Met Gala is the one night of the year where it’s all but mandated to go big or go home, and whether or not you like Ciara’s take on the theme, you cannot deny the look sure packs a punch.

Emma Stone

Emma Stone is one of two women who debuted a new hair color on the Met Gala Red Carpet after actually having made the change a while back (Taylor Swift’s the second). We’re used to Emma’s auburn mane, so the chestnut locks are really striking, but also successful.

Emma went brunette earlier this year in February, but very few photographs of the hair have made it to the public realm, and they’ve been grainy at best. If you’re keeping a new hairdo under wraps to unveil at a big moment, it really doesn’t get bigger than the Met Gala.

The dark rich brown works wonderfully with her tan and plays up the stormy tones of her eyes. The asymmetrical lob and side part keep things futuristic while the swooping hairline and soft waves make the look more wearable.

Kate Bosworth

Given the world of potential that comes with a theme likeManus x Machina, I’m surprised we didn’t see many more headdresses and hair accessories at the 2016 Met Gala. I mean, just think of all the bejeweled, metallic, lattice-worked, gem-laden hairpieces that could have added to an already spectacular style showcase!

And that’s why I’m doubly impressed with Kate Bosworth’s hairdo from the Met Gala. The beautifully encrusted headpieces are all the things breathtaking, and she looks like an Elven princess who wandered through the backstage of a Dolce & Gabbana Fashion Week show. The styling is on-point, both in terms of the night’s theme as well as how the hair itself has been styled to let the accessories do the talking.

Lupita Nyong’o

Lupita Nyong’o has never, ever phoned it in. From clothes and accessories to hair and makeup, the 33-year old stunner always brings her A-game to the Red Carpet and tops it off with one of the sunniest personalities ever seen.

When you’re working with a theme like the one from last night, it’s easy to fall into a predictable rut (silver, metallic, sparkly, deconstructed). Lupita’s look was none of those things and yet it did the theme justice and how.

From a sheer-and-sequins silvery green Calvin Klein Collection dress to hair that defied every known law of physics and gravity, Lupita’s look was crazy, beautiful and electrifying. Admittedly, it’s a whole lot of look and it’s surprising that both the gown and the hairstyle not only work well together but also individually.

People can’t stop talking about the Lupita Nyong’o’s Met Gala hairstyle and while the stacked bun tower might not be something you can rock to your next formal event, it deserves full marks for effort. This isn’t a look you can pull off at home –think endless teasing, pro supplies, hair extensions and tons of hairspray– but it’s one that deserves all the love it’s getting and more!

Taylor Swift

As co-chair of this year’s Met Gala, I knew Taylor Swift would be pulling a look that would do justice to her title. Known for her trademark retro glam style, Taylor’s choices for the night were nothing short of remarkable- and stupendous. With hair so light and a lip so dark, she struck just the right balance between fantastic and familiar.

We’ve already seen the platinum blonde hair on a recent Vogue cover, but it did make a greater impact at the Met Gala, playing to the audience perfectly. I’m sure we’ll see t Taylor’s honeyed locks resurface soon enough, but as far as theme-appropriate styling goes, the messy platinum bob was total perfection.

One of the things that makes Taylor’s entire look for the 2016 Met Gala so successful is that it clearly adheres to the theme and is such a departure from tradition for her, but it doesn’t overpower her own unique brand. The platinum bob and the vampy lip are so different from Taylor’s usual hair and makeup choices, but they still let her shine through. And rocking a completely unpredictable look while also maintaining your identity is what true style is all about.

Zendaya

Zendaya’s experiments with hairstyling have made for some of the most memorable looks of recent times (such as the mullet in tribute to David Bowie) and she’s one of those celebrities who not only manage occasion-appropriate style statements without fail but also look interesting and attractive in getups most folks would shy away from.

If you do manage to draw your eyes away from the bowl blunt wig, you’ll notice she has on a stellar gold Michael Kors gown: the metallic color as well as the highly tactile, studded texture of the gown are the exact foil you need to the blunt, smooth bowl hairstyle. I love how the hairdo seems to lovingly caress Zendaya’s fabulous face and trace its contours. Let’s also take a moment to appreciate how edgy the style is, while also throwing off a bit of a retro flair.

These looks have made my cut for the best 2016 Met Gala hairstyles; which ones made it to your list?

7 WAYS TO GET YOUR CLIENTS COMING BACK（eyelashes extensions)

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 15th April 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Fashions

Building and maintaining a successful lash business is no easy feat. Finding new clients is one thing, but turning them into repeat customers is a whole different strategy. Read on for our seven favorite tips to keeping your lash clients!

Reschedule at Each Appointment

Pinning down a fill or follow-up appointment in person is key. So often, clients forget to schedule over the phone or online and then end up falling through the cracks. Be as visual as possible when doing this and show your clients your calendar and let them choose the date.

Follow Up

If there’s a client you haven’t seen or heard from in awhile, reach out to them! Sometimes the lack of a follow up appointment are purely because the client forgot or became too busy to contact you. If there’s a reason for them not returning, listen! Which leads us too…

Listen to Feedback

Whether it be good or bad, listen to your feedback. For the things you get praised on, keep up the good work! But, it’s vital to pay attention to negative feedback. It may sting, but turn the negative feedback into positive action. Constantly improving your technique and business practices will keep your clients coming back for more.

Make Clients Feel Important

Treat every client with respect and kindness while still giving each person a unique experience. Whether it’s remembering their favorite Pandora station to play during the appointment or remembering details about their life, they’ll notice the effort and keep coming back for more. You can even create some awesome friendships through lashing!

Give Loyalty Perks

Give your clients a reason to keep coming back through loyalty perks. You can decide which works best for your clientele and business, but things like a punch card, a free fill after every 10, etc. are great ways to show your clients you appreciate your business. It also gives them incentive to stay loyal with one lash artist-YOU!

Be Transparent

Let your clients know the state of their eyelashes, how to care for their lashes, etc. If a client wants a very dramatic look but their natural lashes can’t handle the weight, let them know! Being honest and working through problems together will create a good artist-client relationship. The healthier their lashes look and feel, the happier the client will be!

Be the Best, Use the Best

Never stop learning and improving your skills. Your clients will notice your effort and determination and come back for more. Also, make sure you are only using the highest quality materials so your clients have the prettiest lashes possible!

Super-Sexy Summer Hairstyles You Need to Try

Super-Sexy Summer Hairstyles You Need to Try

If you ask us, there’s no better season than summer to freshen up your look—and a sexy new hairstyle is the perfect way to start. Need inspiration? Look no further than the red carpet.

Thanks to some helpful hints from Jessica Alba’s hairstylist, we now know our blowouts can remain flawless in peak humidity. Want to look chic without the fuss? Learn how simple it is to recreate Lea Michele’sflirty braid or Rihanna’s carefree curls, with advice from their pros.

RIHANNA’S SIDE-PARTED CURLS

Rihanna’s carefree ringlets, which appear to have been effortlessly tossed to one side, are just as easy to recreate as the low-key vibe they give off. Her hairstylist Ursula Stephen began by misting a sea salt spray over her strands to bring out her natural texture—if your hair is already curly, we recommend an oil-infused version like Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Infusion as traditional salt sprays can be drying. Stephen followed by pulling back one side, then anchored it underneath with a few bobby pins. As a finishing touch, a veil of Motions Light Hold Working Spritz for locations) added a humidity-proof barrier.

VICTORIA BECKHAM’S WINDSWEPT UPDO

Is your already-straightened hair in need of some extra oomph? Follow in the lead of Victoria Beckham, who opted for an easy chignon that was anything but over-coiffed. On her dry strands, the star’s hairstylist Ken Paves applied a mist of the You Are Beautiful Volumizing Spray for extra lift, then smoothed over her layers with a round brush and dryer. After finishing a section, he would wrap each layer around a velcro roller to set, then went over her head with a layer of the You Are Beautiful Flexible Hold Hairspray which locked in the shape. Once her hair had set, Paves unwound the rollers, then pinned her layers into a bun shape on the crown, allowing a few wispy strands to fall around the face.

NATHALIE EMMANUEL’S VOLUMINOUS RINGLETS

When you have stunning natural curls like Nathalie Emmanuel’s, not much is required to bring out the already-gorgeous texture. Her hairstylist Neeko concentrated a small amount of R+Co’s Jackpot Styling Creme around the base, then used wrap lotion on her ends for extra definition. Over areas that needed a little extra love, he used a small 1/4 inch curling iron to impart a structured shape. After a blast of R+Co’s Death Valley Dry Shampoo at the roots, and an all-over mist of the Outer Space Hairspray , she was ready to hit the red carpet!

BEYONCE’S HIGH PONYTAIL

Though Beyonce’s I Dream of Jeannie-esque updo, which she wore to the Met Gala, may be a little avant-garde for everyday wear, a sleek, high pony in the spirit of Queen Bey’s is an easy way to give an otherwise basic ensemble some high fashion flair. To determine placement, follow the natural line of your cheekbone as you gather your hair at your crown, or aim a little higher if you’re unsure. Anchor into place with a hair elastic, then pull out a small section to wrap around the base of the style, tucking the ends into the ponytail holder.

JOAN SMALLS’ BRAIDED HALF-UPDO

We’ve all had one of those rushed moments where we’re forced to leave the house with wet hair, but with a half-up style like Joan Smalls’, you can simply pin it back and let the summer air do the rest. On damp hair, create a precise center part, and run a styling mousse like John Freida’s Air Dry Waves Styling Foam through your lengths. Then, grab two small sections on either side of the head, just above the ear, and begin twisting each into a plait. Pin both braids at the back of your head with bobby pins positioned into an X-shape to finish, and let the arid temps outside act as a natural blow-dryer.

The Top 4 Reasons your Lash Extension Sets Aren’t as FULL as You’d Like!

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 29th March 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Fashions

Every lash technician has the same goal – to provide the fullest lash extensions possible for each client. We all crave to provide that “wow” factor whether classic or volume lashing. If your sets aren’t making you swoon check these tips out to make sure you aren’t making any of these common mistakes!

Improper Isolation

New Lash Artists always have one main struggle – and it’s usually about how to wrangle one tiny, itty-bitty natural lash between their tweezer tips to isolate it. We know it seems impossible sometimes but don’t cut corners! You may not think it’s a big deal if an extension gets applied to two natural lashes but its a HUGE deal! First of all, it cuts the potential for fullness in HALF! Think about it! If a client has 100 natural lashes per eye, and you apply the majority of extensions to two natural lashes, your potential goes from 100 extensions per eye to 50! Secondly, you WILL cause lash damage – ouch! Natural lashes aren’t all growing at the same rate. If you adhere multiple natural lashes together with lash adhesive, the natural lash growing slower will be pulled (and stressed) by the lash growing faster. This leads to stress, breakage and thinning of the lash line and breaks the cardinal rule of lash extensions: THOU SHALT NOT CAUSE DAMAGE!

Not Extending Every Lash

A beautiful lash line has a large variety of different lashes mixed within it depending where each natural lash is in it’s growth cycle. Some lashes are just growing in, some are mid-growth and some are full mature lashes. Some lash companies teach to skip the smaller lashes – but that’s because back in the day we only had 0.15 and 0.20 diameters in our lash extension ranges! Now with diameters as thin as 0.05 there is NO reason why we can’t extend each and every natural lash with an extension. Shorter natural lashes get shorter, thinner extensions to keep them happy and healthy, while mature strong natural lashes get extended with length and more thickness. The result is fluffy, texturized lashes that look realistic and full!

Coating Natural Lashes in Adhesive

A little lash adhesive goes a LONG way! Gone are the days of “painting” the entire natural lash in adhesive. Its unnecessary and stressful on the fragile tips of the natural lashes. To secure a lash extension to a natural lash dip 2mm of the extension base into the adhesive and apply securely to the base of the natural lash. The result? Instead of REPLACING thin natural lashes with a thicker extension by coating the entire natural lash into the bond and losing it — we ADD an extension to each natural lash which instantly DOUBLES the fullness in the lash line. The final result is fuller, softer lashes that are healthier, softer, and last longer!

Too much length

Inevitably, the more you extend the natural lashes in length, the more spaced out the tips of the lash extensions will be. By keeping lash extensions only 2-3mm longer than the natural lash, they will look denser and more full opposed to super long sparse lashes. No one wants spider legs on their eyes, lashers! Tone it down for a classier look! And if you’re going to give them more length, add more texture within the lash line for multiple focus points (a method we teach in our upcoming ONLINE classes called Texturization which teaches a formula for perfectly full fluffy texture no matter how long the lash extensions!).

How to Choose Hair Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 9th March 2016

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Fashions

Step1.

Decide on the desired look while bearing in mind what will best suit your features; if in doubt, ask for an opinion.

Step 2.

Carefully consider your hair texture. For example, avoid wearing curly hair with a straight extension. It is not attractive and does not speak well of the individual as regards attention to detail.

Step 3.

Pay close attention to hair colour. There are different shades of black and some have a faded appearance. So unless you are trying to be dramatic, ensure that the extension matches your hair colour as closely as possible. That includes any colour you decide to wear.

Step 4 .

Length is also important. This is where your comfort-ability comes in. If you are accustomed to short hair and are not sure about wearing long extensions, go with what you are comfortable with; if you want to be adventurous, that is fully encouraged but remember to get something that will suit you and not someone else. After all, what looks good on one will not look good on all. Focus on accentuating your physical features.

Step 5.

Take into account, that the hair extension you choose will be worn for a length of time and should be chosen with occasion suitability in mind.

HOW TO APPLY RHINESTONE AND GLITTER FALSE EYELASHES

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 9th March 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Technique and Design

Everybody knows that false eyelashes aren’t the easiest things to learn to apply. Slap some rhinestones or a bunch of glitter on those babies and you’ve got a much bigger problem on your hands. As gorgeous as they may be, putting rhinestone lashes or glitter lashes on can be a daunting task – especially if you’re not used to wearing lashes or trying to help a young dancer put them on right before a performance。

So here are 4 helpful tips to help you make your dazzling rhinestone or glitter eyelashes feel so comfortable, you’ll hardly know you’re wearing them while you dance the night away!

Measure & Trim the Ends

The first thing you always want to do before applying any false lash (rhinestone or not) is to make sure they fit your eye! Before putting glue on, lay the false eyelashes along your lash line, making sure not to position it too close to the inner corner. If the outer corner is extending past your eye, trim it off, remembering to always trim from the outer corner.

IMPORTANT: always round out the cut ends. Otherwise, you’ll be left with a very sharp corner that will stab you every time you blink. Ouch!

Tip: peel off a stone (I know, I know, such a waste) to make rounding off the edges easier to do.

Curl your lashes from the lash band
If you want to curl your false lashes, do it BEFORE applying them, andcurl from back (the band)instead of approaching from the front (tips) as you normally would. You’ll find it a lot easier and quicker to do this vs. the traditional way.

3. Wear a base lash
We always recommend wearing a base lash (any dense, regular strip lash) with rhinestone or glitter lashes. These act as a shelf toprevent your rhinestone lashes from drooping, and the extra volumemakes your eyes look more open.

Apply lashes close to or on your crease – NOT the lash line.
Rhinestone lashes and glitter lashes have a much thicker lash band than human hair lashes due to all the embellishments on them. That means you need to use leverage and science (hooray!) to make your lashes work for you.

Instead of applying lashes on your lash line, place them closer to your crease and away from the base lash you have on. This helps to take significant weight off your lids and makes your eyes look much more open.

I’ll be the first to tell you that applying lashes on your crease is NOT easy. It takes a tons of practice, but OH, is it worth it. You won’t believe how much lighter they’ll feel.
Tip: use clear glue (since it hides mistakes better) and try your best not to blink while the glue sets.

Top 6 Tips On Maintaining Hair Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 25th February 2016

In Hair Fashions

If you want tips on maintaining tape in hair extensions you are in the right place. Do you want to have long, gorgeous hair like the women you see re-pinned on Pinterest daily? Are you thinking about getting tape-in hair extensions? Here are some things you should know.

Whether getting extensions to enhance volume or just to have long luscious hair, maintaining your hair is critical to getting full use out of those beautiful new locks.

Rumors will tell you that it is difficult to take care of your hair but if you follow these simple tips on maintaining hair extensions (many of which you are probably doing anyway) you’ll be able to maintain those extensions longer than you expected, and proudly overuse the hash tag #longhairdontcare under your selfies on Instagram until your heart is content!

After you have your extensions installed do not wash your hair forAT LEAST48 hours. Your tape will need time to cure and washing will lessen the hold time. Not showering for 48 hours? Think of all the free time you will have! You can go out and cross an item off your bucket list, or you could nap. Think of how many naps you could take in 48 hours?
DoNOTbrush your hair when wet. This is something that cannot be stressed enough. You also CANNOT wrap your head in a towel or flip your hair upside down and try to dry it with a towel. You need to slowly start at the ends and work your way up. Avoid squeezing and pulling your hair, slowly pat dry and reduce tangles.

It’s tempting to throw your hair up in a towel and be a genie for 10 minutes or flip your hair back and fourth but you really need to take your time after you shower to help your extensions last longer.

Do notEVERapply conditioner directly onto your bonds. This will make the tape lose and your extensions will fall out. This goes for any oils as well!
Make sure your shampoo issilicone free! This is a HUGE must! Silicone will destroy your bond

5. I know most women use some sort of heating tool on their hair every day. You can still continue to do so, just make sure you are not putting the heat directly on your bonds! The heat will loosen the bond.

6.It is very important to brush your extensionstwice a day. This will help from your hair getting tangled or matted. Not bad advice even without extensions really. Also be sure to put your hair in a loose pony-tail or braid before you go to bed every night.

Just because I think you deserve a bonus tip for getting this far! You need to remember that your hair extensions are holding onto your natural hair in some way. Tape, glue or silicone. YouMUSTremember to give our hair a rest every now and then by taking a break from extensions and being sure you do not shower every day. This will help your natural hair rejuvenate by taking back in its oil from your scalp. You will damage your natural hair tremendously if you do not give it a break every now and then.

This may seem like it is a lot of work but if you take it one step at a time it will become just a regular routine for you. Think of all the fun hairstyles you will be able to do with extensions in your hair!

What to Look For When You Buy Eyelash Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 25th February 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News

Finding the right eyelash extensions is one of the most important decisions you will make for your business. When you set out to buy eyelash extensions, there are a number of things you have to keep in mind so that you can get the best product for the lowest price. Here are a few things to look for, whether you are starting a new venture or need a new product.

Popularity

You have to keep up with what is the most popular types of eyelashes, and you need to know what the pros and cons of each of them are. This is helpful for two reasons. First, it lets you see how products are changing. Second, you will find that many customers will have done their research before making their final decision. You need to be able to tell them why you do or do not carry the most popular types. Having done your research beforehand will make it easier to help direct them to the best fit for their needs.

Lash Length

One of the most difficult aspects to judge is the length of the lashes. Everyone is going to want something different, so you have to buy eyelash extensions that cover a wide range of lengths. You will need to be able to help customers be able to determine the right length for their individual lifestyles. When researching the length of the different eyelash extensions, make sure to keep tabs on which ones are more durable so that you can provide extra care instructions for the really long lashes. If length significantly reduces the durability of lashes, you should probably consider an alternative or shorter extensions. This is all information you will need to be able to detail for customers.

Curve and Curl

The amount of curve and curl in lashes can help make them look longer or highlight the eyes. Some customers will want to be able to add some curl, so you need to know which brands are safe for additional curling and which ones provide the right curve so that curling is not necessary. Each brand and product is different and flexibility, depending on what the eyelash extensions are made of and how long they are.

Composition

You need to know what the product is made of before you make your final purchase. Mink is being widely touted as the best, but it has just as many drawbacks as synthetic eyelashes. Before you commit to buying a new type of eyelash extensions, know what they are made of, how long they will last, and what makes them different compared to the other types. You will need to be able to tell your customers why a particular type is better for their needs than others.

Reviews

Take the time to read the reviews on each product you are considering. Your customers will likely read the same ones and their questions and interest will cover what they find in the same reviews. If you find that there is a particular problem associated with a certain kind of eyelash extension, you will be able to find out if there is a way to prevent that issue or help justify why you don’t carry that product.

In the end, knowing the pros and cons on the product is what will help you decide what is best for your business.

WHAT MAKEUP PRODUCTS BREAK DOWN YOUR ADHESIVE?

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 27th January 2016

In Eyelashes, Hair Fashions

Have you ever had a client come in for a routine lash fill looking like she had individually plucked off all her lashes? This may be typical if your client waits much longer than the recommended time for a fill, which is about every 2-3 weeks, but if your clients are coming in with more than 50% of their lashes missing there is a problem! A tragedy, really.

Not only will your client not be super happy, but you will be doubling your work (if they decide to come back to you)! Why does this happen? We want our clients to be happy and get the most out of their lashes. But how can we help them?

Taking Care of the Adhesive

lash adhesive has a shelf life of 4 weeks once opened or 12 months if the seal has not been opened.

Using the adhesive past this time period is not recommended for several reasons. Borboleta has limited the amount of preservatives and unnecessary chemicals in the adhesive as much as possible. The integrity of the adhesive is naturally maintained up to 4 weeks. After this time frame the adhesive begins to solidify inside the bottle due to the exposure to the air (opening and closing the bottle). This makes the glue more clumpy and produces more water as a byproduct in the adhesive. It becomes an unfavorable consistency and will not work as well to adhere to the natural lash.

If you are using fresh adhesive and proper technique, it is best to talk with your clients about their makeup routine to identify the problem.

Makeups to Avoid

Certain makeups can breakdown the adhesive quicker than others. To understand why, you must know that cyanoacrylate is a polar molecule. Molecules can either be polar or nonpolar. In general, polar molecules are dissolved or broken down by other molecules that are polar. The same is true with nonpolar molecules – nonpolar molecules are dissolved or broken down by other molecules that are nonpolar.

Many makeups contain both polar and nonpolar molecules. Since cyanoacrylate is polar, products that contain more polar molecules should be avoided around your eyes.

Foundations and powders don’t have direct contact with your lashes, so they are generally safe to use no matter what the chemical composition. I will mostly be focusing on eyeliner, eyeshadows, and makeup removers.

Makeup Removers

Many oil-based makeups, including makeup removers contain molecules that have a polar head (or a polar part to the molecule). This polar part will “attack” the cyanoacrylate and weaken the bonds between the lash extension and the natural lash. Makeup removers and oil-based makeups should be avoided at all costs. Even makeup removers that state they are oil-free often times contain polar molecules.

Makeup wipes are also not the best option for the same reason.

Eye makeup should be cleaned using the Borby Lash Bath (1 cup distilled water to 1 Tbsp baby shampoo and the tiniest pinch of baking soda) and your hands. If you are wearing eyeliner, or makeup that requires a little more attention to remove, it is best to use a micro swab or lip disposable gloss applicator. You don’t want to use Q-tips as the fibers will get caught in the lashes.

Eyeliner

Wax-based eyeliners should be avoided. Most eyeliner pencils contain some kind of wax, if that helps you identify wax-based eyeliners. Eyeliners that contain wax help the eyeliner stick to your eyelids and also your lashes. When wax-based eyeliners are removed it becomes a battle of whether or not they will be taking the lashes with them.

The lash trend lately has been leaning for a more natural and full look, so many girls have chosen to avoid eyeliner all together! But if you are still set on using eyeliner the best eyeliners are liquid or gel based. Erin’s favorite lash-friendly liner is Black Track by Mac, it’s a gel liner you apply with an angled brush.

Eyeshadow

Most eyeshadows are safe and easy to use with lashes, because they aren’t immediately touching the lash line. However, to be safe cream and paste shadows should be avoided as they are more likely to dissolve the adhesive and make your lashes fall off.

Final Words of Advice

The best way to preserve the adhesive and get the most out of your lashes is to limit the amount of physical strain your lashes experience. Meaning, the less you tamper with your lashes, besides the recommended washing and brushing, the better condition they will be.

Your lashes are supposed to be fun and an expression of you, so don’t stress too much about your makeup usage.
