Love long luscious lashes? Thought so! The newest bestest way to highlight those pretty brown eyes is with eyelash extensions. I must admit I have become slightly obsessed with them. My best work friend got them recently in preparation for a trip to Vegas (along with the necessary blond highlights, acrylics and spray tan) and they are absolutely stunning! Even though hers are super long, dark and curled, they still look so much more natural than falsies. Plus, they make mascara and lash curlers completely unnecessary. Anything that saves me a step in the morning gets an A+ in my style book.So how does it work? At your appointment, a lash pro glues individual lashes made of a silk-and-synthetic blend to the top lash line using tweezers. Because they are glued and customized to your own natural lashes, applications take between 1 1/2 to 2 hours and will grow out in four to six weeks. A somewhat costly commitment, I've seen them priced from $100 all the way to $350 for full extensions (with touch ups ranging from $50 to $100).
What can I say, dolls, it's the price of beauty. Try them out for a special occasion, or just because you can. After all, every day is another opportunity to shine. A quick Google search should turn up a lash pro in your area. Go on now, don't be afraid to lash out!
