If you're like most women, mascara is a key item in your makeup bag. Some 65% of us whisk it on our lashes in hopes of making them look longer and fuller. But do you ever wish your lashes were just longer and fuller to begin with? Eyelash extensions are individual lashes, made of a synthetic fiber such as nylon, which a professional glues one by one to each of your top lashes. Eyelash extensions last a few weeks to 2 months and fall out when your natural lashes do.
How do I take care of my new eyelash extensions?
-
Do not get lashes wet for 12- 24 hours. Light mist is fine.
-
Avoid hot steam or sauna
-
Avoid running water directly on your lashes
-
Do not rub your eyes
-
Only use water based mascara (optional)
-
If applying mascara do so from middle to tip, avoid root area
-
Use water based eye makeup remover
-
Do not perm your lashes
-
Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler
-
Do not pull on your lashes (this may cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely)
-
DO LIE and say they are yours :)
-
Use a gentle wash that cleans the eye area and eyelashes. Great for non-extension wearers as well.
