Eyelash extension freak out

Michelle, on June 16, 2017 at 5:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 81

Ok, so I decided on a whim to get eyelash extensions the day before my engagement shoot. I know, probably not the brightest idea. I kept going back and forth on the idea but I decided to take the plunge. I decided to get the "natural" eyelashes and the stylist asked me if I wanted short or long. Having no idea what short or long looked like, I chose long because I was worried short wouldn't be worth it. Well fast forward to the end, I feel like I look silly. I told her it was too long and she trimmed it. But I'm still freaking out.

All the employees complemented them saying how beautiful they were, but I think that's what they tell everyone. Is that just something first timers do or are my eyelashes actually ridiculous?

There's nothing more I can do but just accept it, I just want to know if I should stop being self conscious about it.

    You're probably just not used to them on your face. I think they look pretty!

    Add a bit of mascara on your bottom lashes, it helps balance it out. I think they look amazing, personally.

    I love them! They probably just take getting used to. I agree with PP, some bottom mascara might help.

    If you hadn't told us they were real I would have just assumed you were super lucky to have dark long lashes!

    They look great, if you hadn't told me they were fake, I would have just thought you have amazing eyelashes.

    They look beautiful! I also freaked out a bit after I had them applied. She knew they were for my wedding so she made them a bit over the top. They looked amazing in my wedding pictures but for quick runs to the store or Starbucks I felt weird.

    They look GORGEOUS!! You're just not used to them. I freaked out too the first time I got my extensions. Now I can't live without them.
