What You NEED to Know About Eyelash Extensions Before Committing! And Tips

There are amazing mascara products out there, there’s no doubt. However, sometimes the quest for extra-long or extra-full lashes is not that satisfying; plus, falsies might not be the best choice, as they last just for a few hours and can fall off with almost anything; so at the end, you might end up spending more money by constantly buying falsies that actually investing in a more durable option. Here’s where the eyelash extensions make their entrance, an option that offers more pros than cons that can keep you with great eyelashes for a long time. Even so, no matter how easy this sounds, there are some things you need to know before committing to them, and that’s why we’ll let you know here all the basics of getting lash extensions. 

Get to know the different types of lash extensions

You may think that eyelash extensions are one size and that they fit all types of faces, but the reality is that when deciding the perfect lashes, you will encounter a wide variety of types and styles that will depend on the type of effect you want for your eyes, and how you want to use them after. Experts say that the most common type of lash extensions is a lightweight, natural and fluffy one. Vegan or vegetarian? Then avoid using animal fur and get high-quality synthetic ones, which are also lightweight and hypoallergenic. In addition, there are different levels of lashes: J, B, C, and D. The “J” curl is ideal for a more natural and awake look, “B” is for a curlier effect, “C” is for  an even curler effect, while  the “D” level takes it one step further. If you want something unique, you can mix them to create your own dramatic cat-eye. 

Pick the ideal salon 

You can get an eyelash extension in almost every beauty salon, but it is highly recommended that you do your own research before choosing one. In this way, you can ensure an experience that’s not a complete disappointment, one with no regrets and satisfying results. A bad salon might have issues with badly-applied glues or suspicious lash placements that cause an allergic reaction to your eyes. An eyelash lift should be a harsh moment, so be sure to read reviews and ask for pictures of the work before saying yes.

Ask the important questions 

Once you’ve chosen the perfect salon for you, make sure to ask your lashes technician vital questions, such as the type of glue they are going to use and the exact length and curliness of your lashes. If you have sensitive eyes, this will help you settle on the options before proceeding, so you won't have to suffer any health inconveniences. Always make sure the technician is using a quality formaldehyde-free and medical-grade glue, and be as much in synch as you can with the person doing the eyelash extensions on you; this will give you the confidence you need to speak up your mind and be as clear as day. 

Get the time right

How long eyelash extensions take to apply and do they last are primordial questions you should ask, as your time is valuable and the application should be done right. Mainly, the first application of a full set of extensions will take from one to two hours, all depending on how full you want the lashes to be. Two or three weeks later, infills will be needed, and so it will take about 40 to 60 minutes to apply them. Long lash extensions last between three to five weeks, but as mentioned before, you will need regular infill sessions, as eyelash extensions shed naturally. This basic info will help you plan the session and how do you want to enjoy your new eyelashes! 

Will eyelash extensions ruin my natural lashes? 

Many people argue if getting eyelash extensions will ruin the natural lashes, but the truth is it can only happen if they’re poorly applied or if the length selection was incorrect, which would compromise the strength and health of a natural lash cycle, experts say. Natural lashes shed every six weeks, so if extensions are correctly positioned and are weightless, then it would simply fall out with the extension of each lash.

Maintenance, mascara, and details

Besides getting the infills done, experts recommend you cleanse your extensions daily by rinsing them with warm water and brushing them with a special disposable wand that will prevent them from falling and maintain their position. Also, avoid using cleansers with oils and sleeping on your stomach. Now, when it comes to mascara, using it isn’t  that dangerous, but it may not be recommended because waterproof mascara formulas are hard to remove and make you rub your eyes, causing the eyelashes to fall. 

Price

Let’s be honest, once you decide to commit to eyelash extensions, you should be prepared for keeping it up with the investment, as maintaining them in good conditions is expensive. For the application itself —and depending on the type of lashes you want— you can expect to pay from 100$ to $300, so you should definitely consider these prices and future maintenance before committing to it.  

Want your eyelash extensions done? Make sure you find a reliable and professional salon that can fulfill all your expectations and that takes good care of your eyes, your skin, and of course, leaves your eyelashes glowing!

Eyelash Extension Glue - Dramatic Beauty Exposed

Today we have it a lot easier than our mothers and grandmothers had it. If we feel that Mother Nature hasn't given us just the right physical features we want, we can add them ourselves, kind of an aftermarket so to speak. If you're not happy with your eyelashes you can add extensions, however, you will need to find the best eyelash extension glue available to hold those extensions in place.

The first thing you will need to do is to decide if you're going to opt for the whole strip of lashes or just add a few lashes individually. The type of glue you use will differ accordingly.

Eyelash extension glue generally comes in two colors, clear or black. Obviously, you will get a very different look from one to the other. If you opt for the transparent glue, no one will see it which of course makes it a much more subtle look. Using transparent glue will allow the lashes to look more natural and more like they are your own lashes.

If you're more of a dramatic woman, or you want to add some pizzazz to a costume, you might want to use the black glue. This can really make a bold statement since the glue will keep it's dark hues even after it's dried. It can look almost like eye shadow. When using the black adhesive, you have to be careful since it can smudge pretty easily. The black glue usually looks best with darker lashes such as brown or black.

The makeup of the eyelash glue is another thing to keep in mind. You certainly don't want a lot of harsh chemicals near your eyes. Look for glues that are all natural. One of the best types of natural eyelash glue is made up of oak latex.

This adhesive will work very well at holding your lashes in place, but when you're ready to remove them all you have to do is gently pull off the lashes while counting out five seconds. Then, just allow the glue to dissolve by rubbing warm water on your eyelids. Since you can get the glue off with just a little puling and some warm water you won't need makeup remover which means there is one less chemical that you will need to put on your face.

This natural glue is not only better for your eyes, it's also better for your lashes. You don't want to spend a lot of money on lashes just to ruin them with the wrong adhesive.

If you have short, thin or hard to see lashes, you don't need to settle. You can add extensions to make your eyes appear bigger and more luminous. In order to hold those extensions in place, you have a lot of options.

Actually, who knew there were so many options when it came to eyelash extension glue? Just read over the information above so you can choose the best glue for you and the look you are going for. Whether you want bold and brazen, or you're going for a more natural look, you can find the right glue for you.
