Princess-Cut Created from a curved square fiber, Princess Cut Lashes can be attached to the natural lash from the top, sides, and bottom. Great for beginners/training as well. Laser-Cut Lash base embossed with laser cut circles which largely extend the bonding area, preventing the extension from lifting at the root.
In Australia and other countries, mink lashes have become popular. They're mink fur that's been shaved off a mink's body (either right before or directly after the animal is killed on a fur farm) that are then glued in strands to a human's eyelashes for a “fuller and thicker” look.
All synthetic lash extensions are made from a soft, plastic finer called Polybutylene Terephthalate (AKA. PBT🤓). PBT is a thermoplastic semi - crystalline polymer that is heated and then shaped into the desired lash curl that sets as it cools.
9mm to 12 mm are the most popular sizes. Do not be fooled, longer lashes are not always better. In fact, using lashes longer than 14mm will weigh down your natural lash.
The most natural extension materials are mink or silk. They are also the most lightweight, which makes them ideal for those who have never worn lash extensions before.
Real mink lashes are a little expensive, but they tend to last longer. In contrast, faux mink is less costly, so you can afford more pairs at one time. However, if you are a frequent user of false lashes, investing in real mink is the best option!
Vegan Silk lashes are more hard-wearing than mink ones, ideal if you'll be wearing them all day long. Mink is more delicate and, unlike vegan silk, they cannot get wet at all. Forget your umbrella and get caught in a downpour with your mink eyelashes on, and they'll instantly lose their curl!
We would recommend a pair of falsies with an invisible or ultra-lightweight lash band. These are much lighter on the eye and as a result, feel slightly more comfortable. These are great for beginners that aren't used to the feeling of having lashes on, thanks to their flexible and fine lash band.
The current Lavish Lashes is the most trusted and leading brand for professional eyelash extensions and training.
False eyelashes are actually better for the health of your natural eyelashes than mascara. This is because false eyelashes don't coat your lashes in a waxy layer (like mascara does). This allows the lashes to remain healthy and minimises damage.
If your lashes fall out naturally, they will grow back in time and with a little help from lash serums, even faster. However, lash extensions mess up the entire cycle. All those chemicals seeping into the follicles destroy your natural lashes and the constant fill-ins will minimize their growth.
VeeLashe™ is a unique eyelash transplant surgery performed with Dr. UGraft™ technology which safely extracts pubic hair follicles as viable long term grafts. Once harvested, the pubic hair follicles are then implanted into the lash line.
From the name itself, hybrid lash extensions can last the longest, about 6 to 8 weeks.
Adding eyelashes should be one of the last steps in your eye makeup routine. “I always do lashes after shadow and eyeliner,” says Ricky. “If you do them first, you might end up with eyeshadow fallout on top of them. Sometimes, I add a little liquid liner to conceal the lash and finish the makeup.”
Apply your makeup before putting on cosmetic eye lashes. After applying lashes you may want to touch up your eyeliner and apply mascara, which helps to interlock your natural lashes with your faux lashes.
Rubbing harshly, even when we have this urge when we're too tired, will aggravate the eye area and cause the lashes to fall out. We already know how bad it is for the skin to wear makeup overnight. Sleeping with mascara on implies the same for your lashes.
Some people say magnetic eyelashes are much easier to use than glue, while others say magnetic lashes are much more finicky! Sometimes the magnets can get stuck together before you've got them properly positioned, although in that case you can simply pull them apart and start over.
Yes, you can wear false eyelashes every day. When applied properly and taken off correctly, you can wear lashes daily without them hurting or damaging your skin.
Mink lashes (whether eyelash extensions or false lashes that you apply yourself) come from either the Siberian Mink or the Chinese Mink's tails since they are soft and lightweight. With Mink extensions, you'll get a light, fluffy, soft natural look.
CAREFULLY take a lighter and burn the hairs on your strip lash (do this over a sink or closed area). You'll be able to tell if you have real or faux mink lashes by the smell and the way it burns. Real mink fur burns just like real hair. When burning, the hairs should crinkle and leave behind ashes.
