Mascaras that are designed especially for Eyelash Extension wearers.
One of my most frequently asked questions is about what mascara is 'safe' to use with your semi-permanent eyelash extensions? Now although mascara is not really needed or recommended, since one of the benefits of having eyelash extensions is that they already give the illusion of wearing mascara, some people still like to use it. It is also quite good to use a safe mascara when your lash extensions are on their last life cycle and you are letting them all fall out, then this fills in the gaps making them look more polished and matched.
REMEMBER:-
- You should only apply the mascara to the tips of your lashes and your bottom lashes as the lash adhesive naturally thickens the lashes from the root.
- The mascara itself must only be water-based and not oil based or waterproof. Waterproof mascara or any type of oil based mascara can dissolve the bonding agent used to attach the lash extensions and thus shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to fall out sooner.
- Due care also needs to be taken when removing your mascara, using only a water-based eye make-up remover for the same reasons. You should be able to remove with a cleansing cloth with warm water and remember NO cotton wool.
- Remember these types of mascaras are all fairly basic as they are only designed to add some extra darkness to the lashes.
