If you weren’t blessed with long, dark, full lashes then lash extensions may be your best friend. However, the popularity – and versatility – of false eyelashes has really grown on the beauty market, which is leaving many lash lovers with one question, what’s the best option for me?
Lash extensions have become increasingly popular recently – especially due to social media and the desire to wake up already looking like your favourite influencer or celebrity. Do you really think Kylie Jenner’s lashes are that long with no make-up – of course not!
Lash extensions are completely customisable now, with you being able to choose if you want a more natural or fuller lash. However, the application for lash extensions must be carried out with a professional in a salon. If you thought applying false eyelashes ate a huge chunk of your time getting ready, don’t think eyelash extensions will be any quicker! Around 160 individual lashes are glued on to your own natural lash, one intricate lash at a time. The process can take around two hours for your first initial set with your lids taped closed that entire time.
Once completed however, your new lash extensions will last around two to three weeks before needing an infill. So you’ll constantly have fluffy lashes, even at a 6 AM workout!
With lash extensions becoming so popular within the beauty and cosmetics industry, the rise of the less permanent, and cheaper, false eyelashes is increasing.
The variety of false eyelashes has never been bigger, and with a range of natural to glamorous options theres never been a better time to try out a set of false eyelashes.
Normally costing between £5-£25 false eyelashes are also more cost effective compared to lash extensions which can range between anywhere from £85-£250. False eyelashes are also for those who want to change their style more, going from a natural wispy lash to a full volume vixen within a matter of minutes.
There is also one big deciding factor also, the amount of make-up you would want to wear.
Lash extensions may seem easy and hassle free, compared to gluing your own falsies, there is a lot of up-keep compared false eyelashes. There’s conditioning them, to making sure you aren’t wearing a lot of make-up around the eye area to ensure you get the longevity of your lash extensions. Whereas with false eyelashes you can wear anything from a soft natural eyeshadow to a glitter cut-crease, with some false eyelashes (including Inana Cosmetics) lasting 25 wears!
If you want to extend your natural eyelashes – but aren’t looking for the commitment and the up-keep of lash extensions just yet, false eyelashes will be your best friend! There are so many lightweight lashes on the market you wont realise you’re wearing anything!
