While the idea of a simplified makeup routine sounds great, there’s still a lot to know before you make your appointment. To find out how to prepare yourself before those fluttery lashes, what the proper aftercare is and more important lash facts, we bring you some important insights.
What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent lashes that are hand-glued on top of your natural lashes. Unlike the false lashes, where the strip or individual lashes are applied to the skin, eyelash extensions are attached directly to the lash itself. The result? Well, you get more lush lashes that may even let you want to skip mascara!
Do eyelash extensions look natural?
A big YES! The final look is meant to enhance your natural lashes with more fullness and lift. The more lashes applied, the more dramatic the effect.
How long does it last?
It depends but if you actually take care of them, eyelash extensions can last for about six to eight weeks until they naturally fall out, just like your lashes usually do. You can go back and have your lash stylish fill in the missing pieces.
Is it dangerous?
Eyelash extensions aren’t dangerous or bad as long as you visit the right place and your technicians is following the correct methods, using the proper materials. At The British Brow Bar, we have the experts at your service!
What size eyelash extensions should you get?
You might want Kylie-level lashes, but that may not be possible. Wearing lashes that are too long or too thick for your lashes can damage your natural lashes in the long run. So, you need to make sure your extensions are not too long or thick than your natural lashes.
What does eyelash extension aftercare involve?
For the first 48 hours after application, avoid getting your eyelash extensions wet. After that, wash them regularly, brush them and avoid things like eyelash curlers or any oil-based products near your lash extensions as these can make them fall out sooner. So, now that you know everything about the eyelash extensions, book your appointment quickly for the fuller lashes.
