1. How long do eyelash extensions last?

Six to eight weeks. Lash extensions last through a full growth cycle of natural eyelashes, typically six to eight weeks. That said, because each person's lash growth is somewhat variable (just hair growth), I suggest light lash maintenance every three to four weeks to maintain a full look.

2. Do eyelash extensions ruin your natural lashes?

The biggest myth is that lash extensions ruin your own lashes. They do not. If applied correctly and properly, they are safe and do not ruin the health of your natural lashes. Be sure not to rub your eyes or tug or pull on the extensions because this can cause lash loss and even damage to your natural lashes.

3. Can I wear eyeliner with lash extensions?

Liquid, cream, and pencil liners are risky with eyelash extensions. Oil-based liquid eyeliners are not recommended, because oil can weigh down the lashes and result in premature loss of the extensions. ... Powder eyeliner works best with eyelash extensions. Make sure you opt for an oil-free formulation.

4. Can you put on eye makeup with eyelash extensions?

Mascara that is specifically formulated for lash extensions can be applied to the tips of the extensions. Oil-free eye makeup remover should be used to remove any makeup, like the Garnier Skinactive Micellar Cleansing Water. Eye shadow and eyeliner can also be applied as long as it is oil-free and removed daily.

5. What is a mink lash extension?

Mink is super lightweight, fluffy, and it mimics the look of your own lashes. If you're new to lash extensions and you're partial to a subtler look, mink can be a good choice. Just be aware: Like fur coats, fur lashes come with luxury price tags. You'll pay up to $500 for a set.

6. Are mink eyelash extensions better?

Adhering to your own eyelashes better than any other extension, the soft natural hair makes mink eyelashes the most natural looking extensions on the market, which also makes it the most popular. Not only are Mink eyelash extensions softer and more natural looking than silk eyelash extensions, they also last longer.

7. What is the difference between mink lashes and regular lashes?

Like mink lashes, silk lashes are made of PBT. The main difference between the two is not in their material, but in their shape, finish, and weight. Silk lashes have a short taper, meaning the body of the lash is thicker for longer. And unlike mink lashes, they have a glamorous semi-gloss finish.
