I have always been envious of people who have the last eyelashes, as mine are very sparse. However I've finally found the solution and decided to take the plunge and get eyelash extensions applied professionally. Although I have messed around in the past with false eyelashes I have never had the results I desired, and applying them was messy and time-consuming. Also I found the result with false eyelashes was I'd look like somebody had slapped two large spiders on my face, and it was more comical as opposed to attractive.
Eyelash extensions are completely different. They look totally natural and no one would ever guess they're not my real lashes. They make my eyes appear much larger, and I do not even have to bother with mascara any more; although you can apply it if you wish.
There are a few things you need to watch out for when you have extensions fitted such as not using oil based cleanser as these can reattach the extensions by loosening the glue. Once you have extensions fixed, they will last as long as the natural cycle of the lashes they are applied to. In most cases this will be between four and six weeks.
