How are Eyelash Extensions Applied?

You love the new, amazing look that one gets after applying eyelash extensions. Even without makeup, the eyes still look good. Now that you’ve decided to apply eyelash extensions, you are afraid since you do not know how the process is carried out.
To help you out on this, here is a detailed guideline of what goes on during an eyelash extensions application.
Get the Best of Everything
To get amazing results from your eyelash extensions application, you need to use the best:

• Buy high-quality eyelash extensions
• Look for a professional lash artist who has experience in eyelash extensions application
• Ensure that the glue the lash artist will be using is of high quality
• Make sure that the tools the lash artist will use for the application are clean

Remember that your eyes are among the most sensitive parts of your body and if anything goes wrong, it could lead to devastating consequences.
Know What You Want
There are different types of eyelash extensions in the market today and each has a different look when applied. Your choice will depend on what you really want to achieve:

• Maybe you have small eyes and you want them to look bigger?
• Your eyes are deep-set and you need a more prominent look?
• You need to make a statement and stand out in a particular occasion?
• You want an official look that will not create too much attention?

If you are able to answer these questions, you’ll be able to make the right choice of eyelash extensions. The lash artist will help you to make a choice based on what you want to achieve. He can show you photos of people that have the same eye type like you to help you make a decision.
You can also search online for eyelash extensions photos and this will give you an idea of what you expect from your eyelash extensions application.
Do not wear eye makeup on the day of your appointment especially mascara. If you must put on makeup on your face before going to the spa, ensure that it is not oil-based as it may interfere with the application.
Plan Your Activities After the Eyelash Extensions Application in Advance
After you apply eyelash extensions, there are activities that you’ll not be able to engage in immediately after. For instance, any activity that could get your eyelash extensions wet such as swimming or intense workout.
If you plan to go to the beach, you should have your eyelash extensions application some days before that date.
The Application
The lash artist will take about two hours to apply your eyelash extensions. He will attach the eyelash extensions to the base of your natural lashes one by one.
Worried that the process will be painful?
Eyelash extensions application is not painful. You may get anxious as the lash artist will be using tweezers so close to your eyes but this is not a cause for alarm. In any case, you will keep your eyes closed for the time the lash artist will be working on your eyelashes.
You need to ensure that the lash artist who will be working on your lashes is trained and experiences. If you fail to do this, your safety will be at risk as the lash application could go wrong.
The lash artist will apply the lash extensions one by one and this is why the process takes longer. If they are applied on multiple lashes, the falling off of one lash will affect the rest and this could lead to the loss of your natural lashes.
He will also use the right amount of glue when sticking the eyelash extensions to ensure that they don’t appear messy.
How Long Will the Eyelash Extensions Last?
If the eyelash extensions were applied by a professional, they should last for about 6 weeks without losing their appeal. After this, you need to go back to the lash spa for a touch-up where the lashes that have fallen off will get replaced.
How you take care of your eyelash extensions after they are applied will also determine the duration they will last. For instance, if you get the lash extensions wet immediately after they are applied, or you press on them too hard when sleeping, they will lose their appeal.
A professional lash artist will advise you on the proper way of taking care of your lashes so that they last longer. He will inform you about the beauty products you can use on your eyes, how to clean them, and how to keep them in shape.
After the Application
You love your new look and wish this will last for a long time. But, there is a cost to see that this happens. You need to follow the guidelines given by the lash artist to the latter and if you fail to do this, they will fall off within a short time.
Here are Some of the After Care Tips After an Eyelash Extensions Application

• For the 24 hours, do not get the eyelash extensions wet.
• Avoid using the pool, spa or the sauna 48 hours after the lash extensions are applied. The lash extensions are not completely bonded and you need to give them enough time.
• Do not use oil-based products on the eyelash extensions. If you must apply makeup on your lashes, ensure it is water-based and will be easy to clean off.
• Keep your eyelash extensions clean: if you fail to clean your eyelash extensions, there is a likelihood that you’ll get an infection. With this, you’ll have to prematurely remove the lash extensions to treat the infection.

Always remember that your choice of a lash artist will determine how well your eyelash extensions will last. Do not go to a spa just because the prices are low as this could result in the loss of your natural lashes. If you are not sure about the right lash artist to go to, ask for referrals from friends and relatives. You can also check out online reviews about the different lash artist in your locality.
Eyelash extensions will need a touch up after some weeks so that the can look good for longer. You also need to ensure that the lashes you apply will give you a look that you’ll be comfortable in for a long time.
