Lashes are one of my favorite parts of my makeup. It can change a simple makeup look to a dramatic makeup look. Lashes really help complete the look and bring the look together. When choosing lashes there are several different options that you can choose from. There are strip lashes. Strip lashes are eyelashes that are lined and made into a strip that look like an eyelash. There several different options when choosing strip lashes. You can choose different lashes based on the shape and length and density of the lashes. You can also choose the material that the lashes are made out of. Options for this are artificial lash hairs that are synthetic which usually are cheaper in price to lashes that are made of sable, mink, and human hair. Strip lashes can range anywhere from $1-$50 depending on the quality and brand. Most strip eyelashes are reusable for up to 5-10 times or even longer depending on how well they are taken care of. Strips lashes are pretty quick and simple to apply. They usually take around 5 minutes to apply. Strip lashes are applied with strip eyelash glue. My favorite eyelash glue is the DUO eyelash glue in transparent. It is a temporary glue and comes off easily at the end of the day by pulling them off or with water. Single lashes are also an option. Single lashes are very similar to strip lashes, they are just not in a strip and are individually put on a tiny strip that is the size of the lash. Individual lashes take a little longer to apply than strip lashes do because you are applying each lash individually. This can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending on how full you wish for your lashes to be. The duo lash glue can be used as a temporary option for them. Usually individual lashes come with a special adhesive so that they will last longer. It also comes with a special remover to remove the lashes. These can last up to 2 weeks with proper care. The third option is eyelash extensions. This is process is performed by a esthetician that is licensed to do lash extensions. Individual lashes are attached to your lashes with an adhesive. This process can take up to 2+ hours to complete. You also have different options for the extensions such as the length of the lashes, and how full you want them to be. Also how you want them to shape your eye. the longer and fuller the lash, the more dramatic it will look. These can last up to 6 weeks with proper care. It is advised that after you get the extensions, you do not get them wet for at least 48 hours. This gives the adhesive time to fully dry so that you will not loose any lashes. You can also get a lash fill every 2-4 weeks. Over time, the lashes will fall off due to the wearing off of the adhesive. Lash Extensions are more of a semi-permanent options for your lashes. I have tried all of these options and my favorite is definitely the lash extensions. They look real and flawless. And you can look done-up with out having any makeup on. The downside to lash extensions are the application time and the upkeep. They are also pretty expensive. My lash extensions cost around $180+ and $25-$75 for fills and depending on where you are located and where you get them done, the price can even double. Here are some pictures below of my lash extensions.
