A few bucks for a tube of mascara or S$80 - S$180 for eyelash extensions??? How far would you go for dramatic lashes? Eyelash extensions are becoming a staple in salons from Asia to America. But do you really need them, or will your trusty eyelash curler and mascara do the trick? Find out if you should lash out. Plus: Are you a makeup mishap?
Luscious lashes have long been the standard of beauty for women. We go to great lengths to achieve them, using mascara, eyelash curlers and even the go-to for special occasions for false lashes.
And who can blame us for our obsession? After all, our lashes frame the most expressive feature on our face with our eyes.
Mascara has always been the weapon of choice for luxurious lashes. But with eyelash extensions, you can throw out the hard-to-fulfill promises of lengthening, strengthening, thickening, clump-free mascaras.
The Eyes Have It
Eyelash extensions create more drama than mascara, but still look fresh and natural. (no spider lashes here) You’ll look doe-eyed first thing in the morning and throughout the day.
Sound too good to be true? Before you rush to the nearest salon, here is what you need to know:
Lash cost: Eyelash extensions will run you anywhere from S$80 to S$180. In addition, the touch-ups you usually require every three to four weeks will set you back $50 to $80. It can be pricey up-keep, with new sets needed every four to six weeks, unless you’re just springing for extensions for a special occasion.
Lash length: Eyelash extensions come in 6-, 8-, 10-, 12- and 14-millimeter lengths. A full set of extensions can lengthen your lashes up to 50%, and will thicken them by 30 to 50%. You can also choose different colors, from blacks and browns to purples and tints of red, depending on your coloring and the effect you crave.
How it works: The entire procedure usually takes about two hours. First, you’ll lie down while an eyelash extension specialist uses surgical tape to hold down your bottom lashes, which aren’t used in the procedure.
Then, between 25 and 40 individual silk lashes are dipped one by one into a bonding agent and applied to your existing individual lashes. The procedure is painless, even relaxing.
Lash care: It’s critical to avoid getting your lashes wet with water, oils or creams in the first 24 to 48 hours. Your new lashes will last about 4 to 6 weeks, but for maximum results, touch-ups are usually recommended every three to four weeks to replace any strays that have fallen out.
Lash TLC
Avoid pulling and rubbing lashes when washing your face. Toss out your eyelash curler and mascara too.
Curlers can break or crease your new lashes, and since most mascara is petroleum-based, it’ll break down the adhesive and ruin the lashes. Mascara isn’t necessary when you have extensions.
Do not use waxy or creamy eyeliner pencils either. To take off your eye makeup, use a non-oily makeup remover instead of a cleanser.
Safety: Eyelash extensions are safe to use because the glue does not touch the eyelid. And there’s no rule against wearing them with contact lenses.
Remember – if you’re fond of playing up your eyes with heavy eye-shadows and liners, keep your lips looking understated and natural, using a lip gloss with just a hint of color.
Once you have eyelash extensions, you’ll be able to pull off bold lips in shades of red or berry quite nicely while keeping your eye makeup minimal.
If you can’t afford extensions or don’t have the patience for the care they demand, work with what you’ve got. For more dramatic lashes, take a metal curler, clamp lashes near the roots, hold for five seconds, and repeat in the middle. Next, remove the mascara wand in one pull from the tube, and sweep the underside of the lashes from the roots while holding the wand parallel to the eyelid. Use an eyelash brush for any clumps, and let dry before applying a second coat.
Not everyone is blessed with naturally luscious lashes. Eyelash extensions are a fun gift to give yourself, so consider taking them for a test run this holiday season!

FAQ
WHAT IS MY METHOD ?
Innovative and revolutionary, we offers you glamorous eyes, without disappointment…
The extensions are applied directly on your eyelashes. They will stay in place during all your natural eyelashes’ lifespan.
Nothing like you’ve seen before !
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO APPLY AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST ?
For a complete application, it usually takes 2 hours. After 4 weeks, a touch-up will take about 30 minutes.
Finally, you will have longer & thicker eyelashes during 6 months! Indeed, it’s suggested to take a break after 6 months (just like nails) in order to let new lashes grow. Lashes fall every 60 to 90 days, and new ones constantly grow. That’s why it’s necessary to do a little touch-up every 4 weeks, to maintain the density wanted.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEMI-PERMANENT LASHES AND PERMANENT LASHES ?
When lash extensions fall before the eyelashes fall naturally, the term that should be used is ‘’semi-permanent’’. On the other hand, if the lash extension stays perfectly in place during the eyelashes’ whole lifetime, the term ‘’permanent’’ is appropriate.
HOW IS IT DONE?
Lash extensions application is a relaxing service, painless and risk-free. You will be comfortably lying down, with your eyes closed. Extensions are applied individually on your natural eyelashes, without any skin contact. In order to protect your eyes, we will apply anti-wrinkle patches. Not only you will have glamorous eyes, but your facial features will immediately be smoothened, relaxed and will brighten up your eye contour also.
WILL IT LOOK NATURAL OR SOPHISTICATED ?
We will give advice helping you choose thickness and lenght of extensions to apply
For example, for a more natural effect, we can use up to 4 different lenghts. As for a more sophisticated look, we use 2 different extension lenghts.
I ONCE HAD LASH EXTENSIONS,DONE WITH ANOTHER METHOD BUT THEY DIDN’T LAST LONG.
Many factors may have caused it :
The adhesive’s quality. The adhesive is made in a laboratory and is reputable for its hold, reliability, resistance and flexibility.
The extensions’ quality. Our lash extensions are applied individually and stay in place. As for lash extensions made of groups of 3-5 hair are much too heavy and fall quickly.
The training’s quality. Training is the key to success for a perfect result. We have learn about hygiene, security and will be able to practice on real models.
WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED ?
Your new eyelashes are long, thick, and gorgeous ! They need minimal care and will easily adapt to your lifestyle. They resist to water, perspiration and to tears. You can swim, shower and do sports with no worries. All you need is to brush them every morning with the eyelash brush-comb.
Do not use oil based products, lotions and waterproof mascaras. These products will cause the adhesive to weaken.
WILL IT DAMAGE MY NATURAL EYELASHES ?
This new technique will not damage your lashes because the application is done lash per lash, without touching the skin, using a special adhesive that is exclusively reserved for lash extensions. Never trust a technician that had her training by a CD, DVD, books or on a mannequin’s head. A bad technique could end up being disastrous… for your eyes or eyelashes.
Well as we watch famous celebrities such as Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and others walk down the red carpet, we can't help but see they have the most amazing eyes. They have long, lush lashes we can't help but want for ourselves.
For those with money the cost isn't a problem, for those of us with a budget, getting eyelash extensions may not be cost effective to have the look and keep it maintain. For example the most beautiful Beyonce has a new full set at $500 every three months but they are costing her $120 per month upkeep. Lose one eyelash and that's $20 all by its self. Yes, that's the truth per eyelash can run you about $20.00 each but that's not in Singapore.
Have you ever saw Zoe Tay, Fann Wong & others also wearing eyelash extension? Not only actress or actor now mostly you can see all around Singapore... just take a look at the past few magazine you have brought and take a clear look on it and you will see..^_^..
Now Eyelash Extensions is become more and more popular and affordable, therefore not only actress or actor can do, so can you.
Take a look at my Beauty section, a lot of my customer did that too..^_^.. They are not rich ppl, some ever are just students.
Save your eyelashes & throw away those eyelash curlers!!! A safe & long-lasting alternative to daily eyelash curling, this treatment uses a wave lotion to curl lashes & will last up to 3 months.
This advanced treatment offers an effective long term alternative to the daily use of mascara & eyelash curlers. Permed lashes remain curled even when wet.
What is Eyelash Perming?
Eyelash Perming is an innovative way to keep lashes curled, opening & enlarging the eyes without the use of eyelash curlers.
Mechanical eyelash curlers have been around for many years and have been used by models, actresses & sportswomen. However, careless use may result in the distortion of hair follicles and consequent permanent loss of the lashes.
Another Disadvantage of the eyelash curlers is that washing and cleansing of the face, swimming and a shower of rain will wash out the curl immediately.
So at last the answer is here - Eyelash Perming!!!! It is a safe treatment which lasts 10-12 weeks and won't wash out.
Eyelash Perming takes about 45 minutes to do and Lash Tinting can be done immediately following the Lash Perming while the lashes are still on the rollers.
