Now that the world is recovering from the pandemic and we are all expected to show our faces again, our approach to our make-up routine while in lock-down will be tested. Maybe you’ve grown out your lashes from the extreme break or maybe you’ve learned how to use strip lashes. Either way, there is a good chance you’re considering going back to your lash artist or even finding a new one because we all know there is nothing quite like a great set of lashes!
Lash extensions, when applied correctly, add fullness and length to your existing lash line and only require a three-week touch-up. Because your own lashes grow and shed, they are like hair extensions in the fact that they will need to be replaced.
If you live in a large city, lash extensions are more tempting because artists are easier to find and there are time saving benefits we need when our lives are full of hustle. Since you will need to see your lash artist every two-four weeks, it’s best to find one you love and stick with them.
But here are our top three reasons you should consider getting lash extensions:
1.) Busy lives need time saving moments. Let’s do some math on this. If it takes 15 minutes to do eye make-up every morning, then you’ll be trading 15 minutes x 5 days per week. That adds up to 75 minutes per week making your peepers look presentable. 75 minutes x 3 weeks = 225 minutes. One 90 minute lash appointment every three weeks, plus 30 minutes’ drive time each way still only puts you at 150 minutes. You’ll still have over one hour of free time left.
2.) Mascara can wreak havoc on your lashes. Preservative like parabens, synthetic dyes and thimerosal keeps the mascara from turning too quickly but can be harmful to tour health, especially those with sensitive eyes. Latex found in lash strips can also be damaging to natural lashes, especially if they aren’t removed gently.
3.) No beauty service can create the fabulous gratification that lashes can. Handing a client the mirror after her service is one of the best parts of a lash artist’s job. Lashes make our eyes look brighter and more awake with very little effort. Who doesn’t need that?
