Can I apply mascara to eyelash extensions?
Why eyelash extensions make mascara unnecessary?
These days, many women are enhancing their eyes by getting eyelash extensions. Lash extensions make your lashes longer, fuller, and darker, and reduce the need for mascara or other eye makeup. When applied correctly, they naturally open and lift the eyes, for a more glamorous look.
Why eyelash extensions make mascara unnecessary?
One of the main benefits of eyelash extensions is that they can replace mascara. Many women find they no longer wear any eye makeup at all after getting extensions. The enhanced lashes give darker and defined look, so there’s no need to reach for mascara.
What happens if you apply mascara to lash extensions?
We recommend not to apply mascara directly to your eyelash extensions. Mascara can be difficult or even impossible to remove without damaging your extensions. If you feel your extensions are too short or not dramatic enough, you should ask for longer or fuller lashes rather than trying to enhance them with mascara.
If you’re looking for a fuller look, consider 3D or 4D russian lashes, that will give you fuller look without having to apply additional makeup.
How to best maintain your eyelash extensions?
Proper aftercare of your eyelash extensions is important to keep them looking their best and to last a long time. During the first 24 hours after application, avoid any contact with water, and for the first 48 hours, avoid steam or heat near your lashes. It’s also best to skip any face treatments like facials during this period and let the lash adhesive to fully set.
After that initial period, make sure to avoid oily makeup removers or skincare products around your eyes, as oils can weaken the lash glue, and lead to premature loss of extensions.
How to clean and look after your lash extensions?
After the first 24 hours, it’s important to clean your lashes daily to remove oils, sweat, dead skin cells, and other debris that can build up. Use a foaming lash cleanser and a soft bristle brush to cleanse the lashes, and make sure you reach the roots.
Once you’ve washed your lashes, dry them with a lint free kitchen towel. Use a clean mascara brush to comb through your extensions, to keep them in shape and tangle-free.
By following these simple steps, your lash extensions will stay looking nice and fabulous, and let you enjoy the benefits of enhanced lashes without the need for daily mascara.
