Eyelash Extensions: Safety, Longevity & Professional Application

Can I do eyelash extensions myself?
No. Eyelash extensions can only be applied by a trained professional.

Do eyelash extensions make my own lashes fall out?
No, definitely not this is a myth. At the Eyelash Boutique many of our clients have been with us since 2006 and have constantly had extensions applied with no break and they have never encountered their lashes all falling off. It is important to have your lash extensions applied by a qualified operator who uses to quality product. The eyelash has a cycle and is constantly being replaced like your hair. If you pull so hard on an extension lash and pull out your own natural lash there will be no new lash ready to grow to take its place and you will have to wait 6-8 weeks for that lash to grow.

Can I still wear eye makeup?
Yes, but you won't need mascara and you may even find you won't need eyeliner, but you can still use eyeliner and eye shadows as usual but remember to remove with a product that does not contain oil of any kind as this will affect the glue. Narelle recommends removing eyeliner and eye shadow using a damp cotton bud and a small amount of eye make-up remover and gently running it along the eyeliner to remove it. To remove eye shadow wet a cotton wipe and eye make-up remover and gently remove eye shadow in a side and upward movement not down onto the eyelash extensions. Wiping down towards the lashes will cause a buildup of makeup on the lashes and may lessen the life of them.

Can I wear mascara?
You won't have to. You can roll out of bed looking great and best of all it will make your lashes look like you're wearing mascara 24/7 without the clumping, streaking and smudging look that you get with mascara. No more running and streaking mascara which is fantastic for brides on their special day. If desired you can wear a non-waterproof on the lower lashes but remember to use an eye makeup remover that contains no oil.

Can I curl or perm eyelash extensions?
No, do not perm your beautiful new eyelash extensions. Anyway you won't have to as the extension lashes hold their lovely shape. Using a clamp eyelash curler is not recommended and will lessen the life of your eyelash extensions and perhaps damage them. You can however use a heated eyelash curler but do not over use it only using it when necessary.
