Have you just had some eyelash extensions? Well, fact is, you look amazing. However, the sad part is most of your makeup has to go. Normally classic eyelash extensions are designed to last up to 8 weeks if you take good care of them. However, most women do not know that makeup can actually ruin the allure and freshness of eyelash extensions and unless you get rid of them, you might not look as fabulous as you imagined yourself.
Read on for some eyelash extension tips. Here is what needs to go from your make up kit;
- Oil based makeup remover – to prolong your eyelash extensions life, you must keep them as clean as possible. Surprisingly, oil based makeup removers are a big no when it comes to eyelash extension. Although they are the best in removing stubborn makeup, using these removers to get rid of your eye makeup will weaken the glue on your eyelash extensions.
- Eye pencil liner – the last thing you want when wearing lash extensionsis for the lashes to get tangled, right? Well, using a pencil liner along your lash line might just interfere with the eyelash extensions and in some cases the lashes might even fallout.
- Water proof liquid eye liner – this kind of eye liners are designed to last long and removing them is not easy. Just like liquid mascara’s, wearing water proof eye liners will weaken your eyelash extensions day after day. What is even worse is the fact that your eyelash extensions will not look and feel as fresh as they need to be.
