Besides working as a makeup artist, I also do eyelash extensions. I spend a ton of time [happily] answering questions about what they are, how they work, and pros and cons. So much so, that I narrowed down the top 10 pieces of information I think you should know before getting lash extensions, or to make the ones you currently have even better!

 

Here’s a summary (though you should watch the video for full details on each point):

  1. Lash extensions are NOT the same as strip or cluster fake eyelashes, they are semi-permanent glued on one-by-one.
  2. The look is completely customizable — as natural or glamorous as you want.
  3. Be reasonable with what you expect the results to look like.
  4. Eyelash extensions last 2-5 weeks.
  5. Two “steps” of getting lash extensions: a full set and fills.
  6. Properly applied and maintained lashes will not cause noticeable damage.
  7. There is maintenance required to keep lashes looking good and lasting long.
  8. Find and book a good stylist — don’t go the frugal route.
  9. If you don’t like them/can’t afford them/don’t maintain them, have a professional removal.
  10. The lash extension process is painless.
