I grew up with three other sisters and was awestruck when they put on make-up and got dressed up to go out for the evening. Once they were gone I would take their eye shadow and lipstick to play dress-up and pretending I was dressing to enjoy the night life. Looking back,Why Eyelash Extensions Are Becoming Fashionable Articles I know they wouldn't have been elated knowing I was borrowing their make-up and trying to look like them.
 
These days I purchase my own mascara, eye shadow and lipstick as well as anything else I want in the cosmetic range. My eyes were bright enough but my eyelashes lacked length and volume, mascara wouldn't even boost them so I started browsing on the internet to read about eyelash extensions to make my eyes look sexy and full. Once I learned about eyelash extensions I knew it was the solution for me.

I made contact with a firm on the world wide web and arranged an appointment for a consultation. I didn't realise that the eyelash extensions were placed singly on the current eyelashes and couldn't quite figure out how they would stick but after talking the style over, it all made sense. The extensions can range from a natural regenerated look to more exotic or even colored lashes with jewelry built-in into the new lashes.

My visit to the professional advisor was very reassuring, she advised me of the best length and curl which would suit the shape of my eyes, so I took heed of her input.  After about an hour and a half my new eyelashes were in place and when I opened my eyes I just couldn't believe it was me. My eyes looked good and really natural but glamorous.

I was informed a few of the new lashes may drop out in the first day or so while the adhesive set and touch-ups were recommended every two to three weeks. I could still wear make-up but it had to be oil-free because any type of oil would harm the adhesive. I didn't need to use mascara but it was possible to wear it on the tips of the lashes.

The consultant advised me to refrain and stay away from direct contact with water for the first day but once the glue had set it was properly alright for me to swim or take a shower.  Eyelash curlers certainly had to be avoided because they would crease or crack the eyelash extension. Now when I dress up and go out people often do a double take and my confidence has sky-rocketed with the way I look. Another result of this is more offers than ever from young men asking me to dance and party.
