这里也有很多。。。
独特的刷头设计,令膏体快速均匀覆盖睫毛,具有不晕开,卸妆快等特点。
With the unique design on brush head, which can enable the cream cover the eyelashes rapidly and evenly, it is hard to disperse, and easy to remove
应该是disperse
只要操作正确,是不会把睫毛夹坏的。
睫毛在毛发中的寿命最短,平均寿命为3-5个月,不断更新,一根发育的睫毛,自拔除后,一周即可长出1-2mm,约经10周,可达到原来的长度。
细长、弯曲、乌黑、闪动而富有活力的睫毛对眼型美,以致整个容貌美都具有重要的作用。睫毛排列呈半弧形。睫毛可衬托显示眼睛的轮廓,增添眼睛的神韵。
睫毛膏含有化学剂,如果其中的化学剂不合格,就会使睫毛的正常生长紊乱。而且大家很可能不知道,一只小小的睫毛膏里有多少细菌。
化妆品科学国际期刊表明,来自巴西两所大学的研究者们测试了40只睫毛膏样本,这些样本是从普通女孩子们正在使用的化妆包里收集的。研究者们测试发现79%的睫毛膏中含有葡萄球菌,而这些微生物,正是红眼病和其他眼部疾病的元凶。
为了眼部健康,建议购买正规品牌的睫毛膏,用专门的眼部卸妆液,开封三个月后的睫毛膏也不宜继续使用。
扩展资料:
不将睫毛夹得太过度,从根部到尾部可分为2个阶段,通常一般人会从睫毛根部分3个阶段将它夹卷、夹翘,现在流行的是从根部夹起到睫毛中间再轻压一次,分为2个阶段即可。
在选购睫毛夹时,应检查橡皮垫和夹口吻合是否紧密,如夹紧后仍存有细缝,则无法将睫毛夹住。睫毛夹的松紧要合适,太松或太紧都不好。
保养方法:
睫毛夹和其他美妆道具一样,也是有寿命的。很多女生会抱怨睫毛夹不好用、没效果,其实不是睫毛夹的问题,而是因为夹边和胶垫的污垢,使夹出来的睫毛大打折扣。
1、用面纸将睫毛夹的上弧形铁片残留的睫毛膏或污垢,从内之外全部清理干净,这个会直接影响夹睫毛的卷曲度。
2、胶条旁边的铁片也要仔细擦拭干净。
3、用棉花棒蘸取眼部卸妆液,将胶条上的污垢溶解并清理干净,最后将其余金属部分用面纸再次擦拭干净。
4、睫毛街除了要注意清洁,睫毛夹内的弹性软胶条也要注意是否应该更换,睫毛夹有时无法将睫毛夹得卷翘均匀,是因为弹胶条的弹性疲乏或者已经崩裂,及时更换就可以回复原来的效果。

首先是做好眼妆的打底工作就象妆前给脸上粉底一样,眼睛上也有专门打底的产品,日系美系都有英文叫eye
primermm可以找找看这样,你的眼妆上的更自然,也更持久,出油情况也能得到一定的控制,不容易晕和脱妆
其次就是mm用的材料了2楼说的有道理,眼线液相对于一般的眼线笔来,不太容易晕,但是缺点是,对于新手来说,如果画错,不太好修改而且眼线液很黑,和皮肤反差强烈,会比较夸张不容易画自然,如果想要裸妆效果,除非只化内眼线不化外眼线,否则不太容易成功不象眼线笔,可以用刷子晕染一下,和眼影过度的比较自然。我个人和3楼mm一样,也是更prefer眼线笔的
这里纠正一个错误,散粉永远都是在化妆后用来定妆的,而不是扑在妆前用来打底的打底是有专门的眼妆打底产品的mm可以在画完眼线和眼影后,涂睫毛膏之前,用散粉扑在上面做定妆,控油和防止晕染效果还是不错的但是,mm一定要作好眼部的保湿工作。因为散粉容易让皮肤发干,眼部皮肤娇嫩,容易出现细纹,扑了散粉,就更容易干燥了。所以你看专业化妆节目里,很少有化妆师把散粉用在眼睛上还有,切记散粉不要在眼睛上扑太多
那么为什么要在涂睫毛膏之前上散粉呢因为睫毛沾到一定的散粉颗粒后,更容易吸附睫毛膏,睫毛膏上完以后效果会更饱满
