If you don’t have the time, skill and patience when it comes to fake eyelashes, it’s time to explore eyelash extensions. They’ll make your eyes pop and beautiful all day and all night. Another great thing about these extensions is they’re like your natural lashes. You can shower, swim and sleep with them without having to worry about losing your look.
What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are very similar to false eyelashes. Just think of cutting each fake hair off the fake eyelashes and sticking each piece to your real eyelash. Don’t even try to do this yourself. Let the pros do it. You can just enjoy your lush lashes afterwards.
How do you put them on? Will it take a long time?
Eyelash extensions are attached to your natural lashes by a trained technician. They begin by separating your lower and upper lashes. Once that’s done, they start the process with the use of two pair of tweezers. One is to hold the eyelash into place while the other is used to stick the false eyelash. To make the fake eyelash stick, black glue is applied to it. After 2 hours of patiently waiting you’ll have long, lush eyelashes.
Just how safe are eyelash extensions?
Most eyelash extensions are safe mainly because they are applied by trained and licensed technicians. Although rare and minor, some people may have a reaction to the glue being used. Symptoms like swollen eyelids or dry eyes can occur over a period of 24 hours. Worried about this but still want extensions? You can ask the technician to use hypoallergenic glue on your lashes. Though they’re not as sticky, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
How do you take eyelash extensions off?
Over time, your real eyelashes will shed along with the extensions. If you don’t want to wait for them to fall off you can let a trained technician remove it. They’re experts at removing false lashes plus it will be less painful if they do it.
When can I go to have my eyelash extended?
Now that eyelash extensions have become widely popular, beauty salons and spas are offering them. Just make sure that their technicians are licensed and trained. The initial application of eyelash extensions can take up to 2 hours. This normally lasts for around 6-8 weeks. To keep them looking lush longer, you can come back for re-touches every 2 weeks.
What is the cost of getting eyelash extensions?
You can get thicker, longer eyelashes for about $185-$250. Re-touches will run you about $75.
What else do I need to know?
Once you have eyelash extensions, who needs mascara? The effect alone will fool anyone and they’ll think you applied multiple coats of mascara even if you just woke up. There is however, the possibility that your false lashes will curl down when you wake up which is pretty normal and easily remedied.
Now that you have a new set of peepers you can walk with your head held high. Most likely others will notice something different about you, they just won’t know what. They may think you got a new dress or bought new makeup. And it you catch some cute guy staring at you, relax. With those eyes, he has every reason to.
