#FAKE EYEBALLS ON A THREAD SKIN#
“Try using a travel pillow or something that helps to elevate and keep you on your back.” You might need to adjust your skin care routine… “If you sleep on your side and stomach you’re going to crush them and they won’t last as long,” Shin says. They'll also mess with the way you normally sleep (unless you're already a back sleeper). It takes a day or two to get used to the feeling of wearing extensions, but I found them to be much more comfortable than strip lashes. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Since my eyes are round and turn down a bit at the outer corners, Shin recommended the longest lashes go in the center of my eyes (in between a two and a three on her “ Glam Scale”), as opposed to the ever-popular cat-eye shape, to open them up further. Most eyelash studios have a menu to help get the conversation started and guide the look you’re after (from subtle and round to the boldest cat eyes). “One curl and length will look completely different on one person versus another,” Shirai explains. Because everyone’s eyes are different, you’ll want a set that complements your eye shape, lash length, and lifestyle. The best extensions are custom-and will cost you.Ĭosts vary wildly from salon to salon, but expect a starting point around $120 for the basics and up to $300. I did not before my first appointment and had twitchy-eye syndrome the whole time, much to the dismay of my lash artist. I also learned this tip from personal experience: Maybe consider passing on that second latte because you’ll need to lie very still. It’s not an in-and-out kind of appointment.Įyelash extensions take a long time (up to two hours!), especially if you’re going for a refill since they’ll need to remove many existing extensions and clean your lashes before applying a new set. “It leaves an invisible film that will keep the lashes from adhering fully,” she says. “You can’t get them wet for 24 hours post-session because the adhesive has to dry completely.” Tirzah Shirai from L.A.’s Blinkbar even recommends avoiding waterproof eye makeup for up to a week before your appointment. “If you need to work out, go to the gym and take a shower in advance,” Shin advises. You basically don’t want anything that’ll interfere with the glue. Other things to avoid: mascara, waterproof eye makeup, oily skincare, and eye cream. “If they’re curled, there’s a crease right by the root, and it’s hard for the lash artist to apply the extensions-it won't be a smooth-finish job,” says Jessica Shin, founder of Flair Beauty & Lash Studio in New York City, where I’ve been going for extensions. That includes not curling your lashes either. Show up to your appointment completely bare-faced. The other thing I learned: They're a high-maintenance, time-intensive, and not exactly cheap habit.
