The good news: Your eyelash extensions look fabulous. A common question for people considering eyelash extensions ask, “Can I wear makeup with them?”. The answer is thankfully “Yes!”. The bad news is half your eye-makeup collection needs to go. Eyelash extensions can last for up to six weeks, but wearing the wrong makeup can lead to lash fallout and extension damage, dramatically decreasing the length of time your lash extensions look full and fabulous. For a lot of women, eyelash extension alone make them look feminine, awake, and put together. Many women feel comfortable wearing only eyelash extensions! However, this is not always the case for everyone. Eyelash extensions aren’t going to fix acne, scarring, discoloration, dark circles, or other skin concerns.

Eyelash extensions are a commitment, even if you plan to only get them once for a special event or occasion. You pay a good amount of money, lay in a chair for more than an hour and walk out looking like the prettiest version of yourself.

Even the best eyelash extensions can be short lived and even destructive to your natural lashes if you aren’t taking care of them. The good news is that taking good care of your eyelash extensions is very easy – and rewarding. By taking care of your extensions you can make them last longer, look prettier, and protect the growth of your natural eyelashes.

As you can see from last week's blog, lash extensions have many advantages. Unfortunately, there is also one big disadvantage that you should consider. Eyelash extensions are the ultimate accessory for any glamour-loving gal; and once you’ve had yours done by a good lash artist, you’ll understand why they deserve to be part of your beauty regime. Long, luxurious lash extensions are fast approaching to be the new manicure/pedicure, another by-appointment step in our high-maintenance beauty ritual of cuts, colors, brows, and Brazilians. And once you start, you won’t ever want to stop! A woman should never apologize for two things: looking fabulous, and feeling confident. So, when full, flirty eyelash extensions give you a boost in appearance and esteem, you should revel in it, rather than entertain the notion that you may have a problem. In fact, you might have problems, but flimsy lashes are not one of them!
