Lash Extensions - What to use, what not to use
I am doing a makeup for a bride who has lash extensions. I've read that I need to avoid using a variety of products, like waterproof mascara as it can damage the lashes and lead to lash fall out. I'd appreciate hearing from other MUA that have worked with clients that have lash extensions, what products they have used and any tips and tricks!

I've had this cake duo for years, and it will likely out last my professional career... And to think about all the money women spend on liquid mascara... it's totally crazy...

How would you compare it to La Femme's cake mascara?

Mar 26 16 02:35 pm Link If her lash extensions are in good shape maybe avoid the mascara on them altogether if they don't need it. I do a lot of eyelash extensions and wear them as well, if she may be a crier (I've had brides lose it during the trial halfway through,noooo!) you could use waterproof only on her bottom lashes, and if you do use mascara on the extensions perhaps regular only on the ends/tips- that is what I do everyday with mine and never have a problem with it. I hope I explained that right. I also never use waterproof mascara on mine. There is a product I use all the time which can re-tame unruly lashes LIKE mascara (for if some of the lashes go a little awry) -but is made specifically for extensions and it's called "the conditioner" by The Lashe, she would likely be super impressed if you introduced her to it and you could sign up for the discount and get it for much cheaper than listed on the site. Might be worth to keep in your kit if you run into a lot more lashed brides/clients. (I don't work for them and am not trying to sell you anything, I just love it, lol - Hope this helps Apr 16 16 12:23 am Link |
