In my ideal world, I would awaken looking exactly as I did the day before-this is why, for most of 9th grade, I slept in my own makeup. It doesn't work and I don't recommend it.
Then in 2012 came the response to my prayers: eyelash extensions. mink lashes to the ones you can get on your mind, eyelash extensions are specific lashes, made of silk, mink, or something fabricated, that are mounted on your existing lashes semi-permanently. If you have ever dreamt of getting up with Bambi lashes but without that ring of leftover mascara dangling a foot under your eyes, this is your solution. Inquisitive? At least just a little? Good, so get off Yahoo search-here's all you need to learn about getting eyelash extensions:
1. It’s an extremely luxurious process. Really-it’s interesting. You lie down in a bed and close your eye for one hour and a half while soothing music takes on in the backdrop and a technician attaches little feathery nothings to your lashes. It’s the most socially acceptable naptime an operating adult could require. In case you’re not already sold, most salons offer a complimentary massage while you’re on the operating table.
2. Every lash extension experience is customizable. If you are done, you will not conclude looking like you just got a everlasting strip lash mounted on your lid. First, you can pick the distance. Most salons will hold extension lengths from 9 to 15mm (or, from natural to Kardashian length). The great spot for some is 10-12.
Once you pick your length, pick your curl. A “J” curl is good for a more natural, awake look, while a “C” curl is a far more dramatic, "I never set off 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 exterior edges for a far more cat eyeball 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 variations between these appears are negligible so opt for the Faux Mink since it is the most affordable.
3. Eyelash extensions go longer than you think. With care, I could get my extensions to last up to a 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 a lttle bit of money, you can prolong their life-span. You need to be careful never to get normal water on your lashes and don’t use greasy products near your eye.
4. Yes, you can wear makeup with them. If you cannot stand the very thought of ditching your smoky attention, don't worry, you don't need to. Only liquid-based eyesight products can be harming to the extensions, but you can escape with a tiny wing of liquid liner as long as you're not dragging it along the lash collection. Make sure to carefully remove the shadow or liner with oil-free makeup remover and Q-tips for precision. Most of all, stay away from mascara entirely as it leaves the extensions crusty and damaged. It's only suitable if you're by the end of your circuit and will be getting a fresh set in a few days.
5. Extensions can ruin your eyelashes-but they don’t have to. That is, if you don’t play by the guidelines. I am one of the numerous individuals who have made the mistake of taking out the extensions myself-not only is it extremely painful but it leaves you with few to no natural eyelashes still left. However, after what I love to call the strong “eyelash rehab” program of applying Vaseline to my lashes every night, my natural eyelashes were back to normal after a month and a half.
6. The only path to eliminate them is to have them professionally removed or keep these things fall out in a natural way. Having the extensions removed is really as easy as having them put on-painless and relatively quick. Every salon will have this service available. I
