Not sure there's been much difference-and my lashes are light brown, so you can't see them at all without mascara. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313899 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 22:19:05 +0000 LJP 2313899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve used a few serums , fwiw .

Latisse and the like? Some friends and clients have done that with very favourable results! It takes time though. Results after one or two months, I believe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313807 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:34:43 +0000 Anonymous 2313807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I have enough lashes to lift! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313786 Thu, 16 Mar 2023 22:37:59 +0000 Janet 2313786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m way too weird about anyone getting near my eyes to do this.

I very much enjoy the no maintenance end result and overall look. If only it were permanent!</p> <p><div>When I wear mascara it’s a tube mascara. I’ve tried many versions and price points, but consistently find that the original formula Blinc is the very best for me. No flaking or smudging.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313639 Wed, 15 Mar 2023 22:01:16 +0000 Anonymous 2313639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep- these are the individual lashes. There were a few options- classic, hybrid, and volume. The classic was the most natural looking, so would go with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313634 Wed, 15 Mar 2023 21:26:34 +0000 LJP 2313634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lash extensions *are* individual lashes . That’s why it is so time consuming to do </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313583 Wed, 15 Mar 2023 15:01:47 +0000 Zaeobi 2313583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you could add some individual lashes (instead of a full strip) if you don't want an unnatural look (like at the corners)? Do let us know how it goes though - good luck! </p> <p>I've never had lash extensions but I do lash lifts instead - similar procedures &amp; precautions though (eyes closed for an hour, no water for 24 hours, no oils, no rubbing your eyes after etc). I was scared at first to have anything so close to my eyes, but I am used to it now. The results usually last me 8 weeks, but I suspect that's because I don't usually wear any makeup - I use it in lieu of mascara to help me look more 'awake'. </p> <p>I've heard good things about tubing mascara, though, if you aren't interested in the traditional ones that require rubbing etc to get them off (especially with extensions installed). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313573 Wed, 15 Mar 2023 12:30:30 +0000 Anonymous 2313573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My lashes don't show up, even with marcara there's not much.

I'm not even so good sitting still to get a teeth cleaning!<br /> She did tell me about the 24 hour thing, so I can just lay in the tub instead of shower. I made sure it was during the workweek so I won't miss my swim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313533 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 23:55:46 +0000 LJP 2313533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It takes a long time for the initial set to be done - like 90 mins or so . It’s a very slow and tedious process . And you’ve got your eyes closed with a patch type thing on them to keep you from blinking. Lash fills take less time . You can’t get water on your eyes for 24 hrs or so if I remember correctly . It was lovely to have them though as they add an instant prettiness . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313529 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 23:48:11 +0000 Anonymous 2313529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About how long did it take - for the initial visit and the maintenance ones?</p> <p>Definitely not thrilled at the idea of going makeup free before appt.

But stopped after a reaction to a new glue plus the costs and length of time the appts took was more than I could justify . Haven’t done it in quite a few years now and don’t plan on doing it again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313499 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 19:34:01 +0000 Irina 2313499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I did. I also went for more of the natural look and loved it. It was more than 10 years ago :)<br />I maintained it for about a year, replacing ones I lost every few weeks or once a month. I didn’t use mascara or an eyeliner but had to be careful not to rub my eyes. Maintenance and associated costs killed it for me at the time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lash-extensions-1#post-2313495 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 18:52:51 +0000 Anonymous 2313495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey all- the salon is having a lash extensions sale, so I scheduled to do it I'm not trying to be OTT and unnatural looking, just have a little boost. And apparently you don't need to bother with liner and marcara. She did say you have to maintain it every 2-3 weeks though.</p> <p>Have any of you tried them? </p>
