PROS AND CONS OF GETTING EYELASH EXTENSIONS
What you should know before investing in lash extensions.
💗 Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent lashes that are attached to your natural lash hair and have become quite popular
✨ They are a step above sticking on false lashes and are known to last for many weeks. The rising popularity of permanent makeup like lip blushing (a form of tattoo) and eyebrow microblading, has made eyelash extensions a sought-after procedure. It is non-invasive, painless and cuts down on makeup time significantly. But given their popularity, do their pros and cons balance out to make them a worthwhile procedure to get? Let's look at some fast facts...
Here are some of the major pros of eyelash extensions:
✅ They speed up your makeup routine
Tending to your lashes can take anywhere between 10-20 minutes - if you are going all out with falsies and have to stick them, curl them and finish with mascara. Eyelash extension can save you this daily commitment and considerably speed up your makeup process.
✅ They can replace other eye makeup
Eyelash extensions are statement enough to be worn on their own. They can give your eye a 'wakening' affect and take attention away from like dark circles and under-eye bags. This is why a lot of women get extensions done to eliminate the step of cleaning up eye makeup from their nighttime skincare routine altogether.
✅ They can be customized
Regular falsies come in a standard make and follow a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. Eyelash extensions can be customised according to your desired length, volume, fullness or just something that enhances and shows off your eye shape. This makes them more suited to your unique facial features.
✅ They avoid mascara mishaps
Mascara is one of the most common things that you might mess up while applying your makeup. Cleaning up smudges, clumps, and flakes can sometimes 'dirty up' the makeup application around your eye area. This issue is completely avoided by getting eyelash extensions!
Apart from the obvi
You've decided to make it official with Eyelash Extensions, but you have no idea how to ready yourself.
Here are 4 tips on how to prepare for your eyelash extension service:
1. If you wear waterproof mascara, discontinue use 3 days prior to your appointment.
The compounds in these products will remain on the lashes, even after properly cleansing.
This will prevent the extension adhesive from properly bonding and you may experience premature lash loss.
2. Arrive with a freshly clean face and impeccably clean lashes.
Residual oils and makeup remaining on the lashes will only prevent the adhesive from properly bonding.
This point needs to be stressed - do not arrive still wearing eye makeup.
Your lash stylist should not be spending more than a few minutes cleansing and prepping your lashes for the service.
It is a waste of her skill time and a waste of your money.
Less cleaning. More time. More lashes.
It is absolutely acceptable to wear facial and brow makeup. Book your appointment first thing in the morning if you must wear eye makeup for the day.
3. Arrive freshly showered and with clean hair. You won't be able to wet the lashes for the initial 24 hours after application.
A compound found in all lash adhesives, cyanoacrylate, needs humidity to properly cure. TOO MUCH humidity will shock the adhesive and cause premature lash loss.
Showers, steam, saunas, and crying are not permitted for the initial 24-48 hours after application.
(Personal tip: I shower and wash my hair the morning before an appointment and take a bath for the next 2 days.)
4. NO CAFFEINE
Please do not drink any caffeine before your appointment. Drinking caffeine prior to your appointment will make your eyes twitch which makes it difficult to work with. This could cause delay in the lash appreciating.

Tips for beginners ✅ Find the best Dip Powder out there. Purchase the Kit( it will include all basic products needs like the base and activator which are essential to dip powder)* In my opinion, @rossinailsofficial are more reasonable than Kiara Sky and has more cultural inclusion but Kiara Sky products are good as well. ✅ Purchase the best Full Coverage Nails.* The best hands down is @apresnailofficial . I personally use the Natural and not the Sculpted Nails since most of my Clients have a natural nail bed✅ Don’t Forget Essentials like the Tools. * I use a E-Drill but you can start of with a basic file and buffer until you can master an electric drill.The one I use is @kiaraskynails ✅ Uv Lamps are affordable especially for at home businesses. * I brought mine from @amazon (Gel UV Nail Lamp, SUNUV 48W UV LED Nail Dryer Light for Gel Nails Polish Manicure Professional Salon Curing Lamp with 4 Timer Setting Sensor)✅ Don’t forget the Top coat! * I just found the best in history. Don’t even see a social media account for them lol ✅ Instructions in VideoLike, Comment and Save for more DIY Videos🤎.....#coffinnails #crueltyfreebeauty #diynails #longnails #mani #nailaddict #nailartwow #nailedit #nailfie #nailinspo #nailitdaily #nailpolishaddict #nailpro #nailsdid #nailsdone #nailsmagazine #nailsnailsnails #nailsofig #naturalnails #notd #ombrenails #pinknails #prettynails #rn #selftaught #shortnails #njnailartist #njlashes #lashesnj
