What are Lash Extensions?
If you see your friends or coworkers rocking fluffy and full eyelashes, chances are they have caught on to the fashionable trend that is eyelash extensions.
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic fibers made of mink or silk fibers that are applied to the individual strands of your natural lashes with semi permanent glue.
Lash extensions come in a number of different materials, lengths, curls, and volume. In general, lash extensions are made out of silk, mink, or a synthetic/faux mink.
What Length Extensions Can You Get?
Eyelash extensions come in a number of lengths depending on personal preference! Outside of preference, it is important to pick the right length so that your lashes don't look too “heavy” or uncomfortable.
In the world of lash extensions, the typical rule of thumb is that lash extensions should be on average 3mm-5mm longer than your natural lashes.
What Volume Can You Get With Lash Extensions?
Lash extensions are much more than length and color. To achieve a voluminous look with your lashes, multiple extensions are applied to a single layer of your natural lash.
To avoid being weighed down, every layer of lashes get thinner and thinner that way you achieve a voluminous look without looking heavy and overcrowded.
Eyelash Extension Curls
One of the many reasons lash extensions look so fluffy and glamorous is because of the curl. There are a number of different curl “types” depending on the look you want to achieve!
B Curl: is the most natural looking curl because it uses a minimal lift.
C Curl: is the most popular curl, it is a bit more dramatic than the B-curl, for a more open and fuller look.
D Curl: is the most dramatic look you can achieve with a lash extension that offers the most open and full look.
What Color Lash Extensions Can You Get?
While black lashes are the most common type of extensions, there are a number of different colors and styles one can get when considering lash extensions.
For example, brown lash extensions have become increasingly popular because they still give the look of a full dramatic open eye, while appearing a little more natural and soft with brown instead of black.
Some other eyelash extensions you can get include:
Red
Green
Blue
Purple
Blue
Glitter
Rainbow
Yellow
You can also mix and match some lash colors. Some increasingly popular combinations include black & white, pink & black, and blonde!
Benefits Of Colored Lashes
Lashes are an art and colored lashes mirror that in everyday life. In the beauty sphere, colored mascara has become popular and colored lashes are exactly that! However, colored lashes go a step further than mascara letting you achieve a fuller, more bold look. Colored lashes can also enhance your natural eye color. For example, red lashes can bring out the specks of blue in your eyes while bright hues can enhance the overall color of your eye.
