Underlash is a noun that refers to a cosmetic technique used to enhance the appearance of the lower eyelashes. It involves applying mascara or darkening agents to the lower lashes, which are located on the lower eyelid.
In the realm of beauty and cosmetics, underlash is performed with the intention of creating balance and symmetry to the overall eye makeup look. By accentuating the lower lashes, it aims to achieve greater definition, length, and volume, thereby providing a more captivating and alluring effect to the eyes. Underlash is often used in conjunction with the application of mascara or false eyelashes on the upper lashes.
To perform underlash, one typically uses a fine mascara brush or a specialized underlash brush. The lower lashes are gently separated with the help of a clean mascara wand or a lash comb, and then the mascara or darkening agent is carefully applied from the root to the tip. The product is evenly distributed along the lower lash line, ensuring that the lashes are coated and separated to avoid clumping or smudging.
Underlash is popularly used in the realm of professional makeup artistry, editorial shoots, and special occasions where a dramatic, desired effect is sought. It adds depth, intensity, and balance to eye makeup, ultimately enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
