Mesmerizing Eyelash Extensions

Have you ever had eyelash envy? It's when you see someone with long, thick, curled lashes and wonder why you were jipped in that beauty department. Most of us have experienced "eyelash envy", so mascara is the ritual makeup tool we use to create those full and lush lashes we dream of, only to wash them away when we cleanse our faces. Sad but true, we need mascara everyday to give the illusion of length and fullness....until now that is.

Thanks to a fairly new method created a few years ago, eyelash extensions can give you those captivating eyes, morning, noon and night without the need for mascara. The process consists of a certified eyelash technician who applies the extensions one-by-one to your natural lashes with a special medical grade glue that bonds them together, creating a water-proof seal. The results are mesmerizing lashes that can last up to 2 months with proper care.

So what's the difference between eyelash extensions and false eyelashes? Simple; one is temporary, not lasting more than 24 hours and can look fake. While the other is semi-permanent, lasting 4-8 weeks and looks amazingly 100% natural. Touch-ups are needed every 2-3 weeks to replace any fallen lashes that occur through your natural shedding cycle, or for new lashes that have grown in. The extensions are water-proof in the shower, pool, or spa and require minimal care to keep them looking great and lasting long.

Eyelash extensions are a safe way to get those eyes that capture attention. You can wake up with beautiful eyelashes every day without effort. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul...so why not have a gorgeous frame around those windows? In addition to being a makeup artist, I am now a certified eyelash technician, so visit my website for more information and how you can get those dream lashes.
