“Lash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic, faux mink or silk fibers
which are applied strand by strand to your natural lashes,” explains
Richardson. As you might expect, the application is fairly tedious. “The
extensions are carefully applied one at a time using a
specially-formulated,
semi-permanent glue that will not irritate or damage the natural
lash,” she adds.
Unlike false eyelashes, where the strip or individual lashes are applied
to the skin, lash extensions are attached directly to the lash itself.
The results are more lush, dense lashes that may even let you skip
mascara 😯.
