3D Eyelash Extensions

3D eyelash extensions look and feel like natural eyelashes. They are made from synthetic material silk or even mink fur, but if applied by a professional eyelash technician, will look like your own lashes, only thicker, longer and fuller. 3D Eyelash extensions originated about 10 years ago in Japan but have grown more popular across the globe as women realise the benefits of 3D eyelash extensions.

Time saved due to 3D eyelash Extensions

Think of the time and hassle you will save when you don’t need to apply mascara every day. You don’t need an eyelash curler because 3D eyelash extensions are perfectly shaped already. You don’t need to apply mascara, trying desperately to avoid clumping and smudging it as you dash out the door. If your eyes get wet from swimming, perspiration or even shedding a tear or two, there’s no mascara to run down your cheeks and leave you looking like a raccoon. Hassling to remove mascara properly can be relegated to the history books.

When you think of all these problems that women experience every day applying mascara, it’s no wonder eyelash extensions are becoming more and more popular. At around £70 to £120 at a salon or £60 to £80 from a mobile salon,3D eyelash extensions offer an affordable way to get eyelashes that last longer and look better than old fashioned fake eyelashes, and are almost maintenance free.

Each extension is bonded to an existing eyelash with a special adhesive. Because eyelashes fall out and re-grow naturally in 60 to 90 day cycles, the extensions will only stay in place as long as the lash they are attached to does. For this reason, you may need touch ups every three to four weeks to attach extensions to the new growth and prevent the lashes from looking patchy. Touch ups cost between £25 and £40 depending on where you have them done.

Occasions when you can use 3D eyelash Extensions

3D eyelash extensions are ideal for a special occasion such as graduation, your 21st or a wedding. If you have the extensions done for an event and don’t want the expense of touch ups, you should have them removed within three or four weeks. If you don’t your eyelashes will look quite strange as more lashes fall out naturally leaving you with a few thick, long lashes with extensions, and short, thinner re-growth in between.

3D eyelash extensions are made in colours to suit your natural hair or lash colour, but if for example you have very light lashes, you can put extensions in that are a few shades darker. The extensions are also available in bright colours like pink and blue for a really dramatic look – these are great for once-off occasions to match your outfit.

Looking after your 3D eyelash extensions is not difficult. You should not wash your face for 2 hours after having them applied, or steam your face for the next 2 days. If you do want to wear mascara on the extensions, make sure it is water-based mascara – not waterproof. Do not use oil-based make up remover on your eyelashes, and don’t rub your eyes. You can swim with 3d eyelash extensions, work out or cry your eyes out in a sad movie without causing any damage to them.

3D eyelash extensions are like a mini facelift, making your face seem perkier, your eyes bigger and giving you a classy, finished look. Whether you want them for a special occasion or for a longer period of time, you will definitely see a dramatic improvement to your looks.
