I'm still rockin' my lash extensions and I get questions all the time! SO I figured I'd give y'all a quick run down/update!
This is the first set (60 min application time) I got done so all I've been doing is going every 2 weeks and getting a fill (30 min application time). A Fill means, she adds in more lashes (glued to your individual natural lash) as your eye has naturally shed some lashes and you've lost some extensions. This by no way means your lashes look bad or that you have these big gaping holes. You lose 1-4 lashes a day! I know, hard to believe right? You just don't pay as much attention to your lashes as your do when you've added in extensions. You can go see Alex once a week for a fill if you'd like (like my step mom) or you can go every 2 weeks (like me) or you can even go every 3 weeks. It's completely up to you! The best thing is you do NOT need mascara, not for your top lashes anyway. You can wear it on the bottom lashes if you'd like! If you do use mascara, I'd stay away from waterproof or oil based products, as the make up of those products can dissolve the glue and shorten the life of your lashes. To remove eye make-up, like eye shadow or eye liner, use only water based products. The glue is waterproof but once you get a full set on/fill stay away from the water for 24 hours giving the glue ample time to adhere to your lash. You can shower and swim as you please after that! I am completely addicted ladies!
Here's a look at my lashes after two weeks of wear... As you can see, they'r not that bad
No make-up. It's important you don't have any make-up on when you're getting lashes so the pads will stick under your eye. It's also important to have clean lids so your tech isn't fighting any oil/make-up build up during application.
Here's a look at my lashes after a fill!
This is today, the day after my fill. Obviously wearing make-up ;)
Have a great day!
