When it comes to makeup, a busy girl often finds it’s both her best friend AND her worst enemy. One of the main reasons a lot of women turn to lash extensions is because they’re sick of applying smudgy mascara or sticking on tricky falsies for a night out. So they'll make that choice to make their routine a bit simpler. Now they're ready to look fabulous, fancy-free, and ready to face the day as soon as they roll out of bed with lash extensions! It’s a great idea to check all products used on the face to make sure they are compatible with extensions—this way you can be sure that your lashes will stay gorgeous day after day. Here are some tips for matching makeup products with lash extensions for maximum retention–and less work for your lash artist, when infill time rolls around!
The first thing to look out for when doing a product check is whether any of your favorite face products are oil-based. You’d be surprised at how many products on the market contain sneaky oils, so always look at the ingredients list for the best idea of what you’re using on your face. Oil-based products can be great for your skin as a moisturizer and makeup remover, but unfortunately have the same effect on extensions; the oil dissolves the glue bond so that your lashes are removed with your makeup!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to be sure that you are washing your extensions with the right product! Just like hair shampoo, a proper lash shampoo will remove those last traces of everyday dirt, oil, and those stubborn bits of makeup that refuse to move at the end of the day. A little investment in the right product will give back in a big way, as this extends the longevity of extensions and makes it easier for you to apply better extensions to healthier lashes. I currently have an eyelash cleanser (Ask about it at your next appointment) that is gentle on lashes and easy to apply as part of your beauty routine—you’ll be surprised at how your extensions will benefit!
Most first-time lash clients ask the same question—do I need to wear mascara with my lashes? The simple answer is not at all! If you need to put mascara on your extensions straight away, then I have not done my job properly–lashes are designed for each client personally according to their tastes and individual lash health. If a client comes shares that mascara is apart of her daily routine then it would be far easier to upgrade them to a thicker/fuller set than to keep cleaning mascara out, time after time!
So we’ve ditched the mascara, now what? Check out any top beauty Instagram page and you’ll see that eyeliner and eyelash extensions are a match made in heaven. A crisp liquid liner is always a hot look teamed with lashes—however, it is best to avoid gel-based or waterproof liners so that your extensions won’t turn into a clumped mess! Waterproof eyeliners tend to get stuck in the fine bases of lashes and are difficult to remove without giving your eyes a rough scrub—never fun for those lashes. A great solution to this is swapping your old faithful for a liquid liner formulated especially for eyelash extensions!
Alternatively, you can mix things up with a soft smudgy pencil. Just make sure to remove your makeup with those oil-free cleansers regardless of which look you choose, as clean lashes are happy lashes!
