In my ideal world, I would wake up looking exactly as I did your day before-this is why, for most of 9th grade, I slept in my makeup. It doesn't work and I don't recommend it.
Then in 2012 came the answer to my prayers: eyelash extensions. Similar to the ones you can can get on your mind, eyelash extensions are specific lashes, made of silk, mink, or something artificial, that are attached to your existing lashes semi-permanently. If you have ever dreamt of waking up with Bambi lashes but without that band of leftover mascara dangling a foot under your eyes, this is your solution. Interested? At least a little? Good, so log off Google search-here's everything you need to learn about getting eyelash extensions:
1. It’s a very luxurious process. Really-it’s interesting. You lie down in a bed and close your eyes for an hour and a half while soothing music has in the background and a technician attaches little feathery nothings to your lashes. It’s the most socially acceptable naptime a working adult could require. If you’re not already sold, most salons provide a complimentary therapeutic massage while you’re on the working table.
2. Every lash extension experience is customizable. If you are done, you will not end up looking as if you just got a long lasting strip lash attached to your lid. First, you can choose the length. Most salons will carry expansion lengths from 9 to 15mm (or, from natural to Kardashian span). The nice spot for most is 10-12.
After you pick your length, pick your curl. A “J” curl is perfect for a far more natural, awake look, while a “C” curl is a far more dramatic, "I never leave home without my Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler" look. If you wish to get creative, you can certainly do “J” on the inner corners of your eye and “C” on the external edges for a far more cat eye look.
Now, in conditions of material, you have a lot to choose from: Faux Mink, Faux Fox, Silk, Real Mink, and lastly, Real Human Scalp. The distinctions between these looks are negligible so opt for the Faux Mink since it is the most affordable.
3. Eyelash extensions last longer than you think. With care, I could get my extensions to last up to month and a half. Most places recommend you keep coming back every 2-3 weeks for an impression up, but if you’re seeking to save somewhat of money, you can prolong their life expectancy. Just be careful not to get normal water on your lashes and don’t use greasy products near your eye.
4. Yes, you can wear make-up with them. If you cannot stand the very thought of ditching your smoky attention, don't worry, you don't have to. Only liquid-based vision products can be harming to the extensions, but you can escape with a little wing of liquid liner if you are not dragging it across the lash lines. Make sure to carefully remove the shadow or liner with oil-free makeup remover and Q-tips for precision. Most of all, avoid mascara completely as it leaves the extensions crusty and destroyed. It's only satisfactory if you're at the end of your pattern and you will be getting a fresh occur a couple of days.
5. Extensions can ruin your eyelashes-but they don’t have to. That's, if you don’t play by the guidelines. I am one of the many people who have made the mistake of pulling out the extensions myself-not only could it be extremely painful but it leaves you with few to no natural eyelashes left. However, after what I love to call the extreme “eyelash rehab” program of applying Vaseline to my lashes every night, my natural eyelashes were back again to normal after per month and a half.
6. mink lashes to get rid of them is to get them professionally removed or have them fall out obviously. Having the extensions removed is really as easy as having them put on-painless and relatively quick. Every salon will have this service available. If you're not looking to spend any
