Eyelash extension freak out

Michelle, on June 16, 2017 at 5:53 PM

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....

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.

    I got mine done before my wedding and absolutely LOVE them, esp since I have short lashes. They make a huge difference ! Yours look Amazing! You're just not used to them but they'll grow on you.

    They look great. Just take care of them, don't pull on them and be careful how you wash your face. You don't want to damage your natural lashes too much. Have fun with it!! So pretty!!

    I think they look beautiful! I got them two days before I left for my HM, and I just got back from getting a refill. I'm addicted!

    I love them! I hate putting in lashes on my own and would love to wake up with luscious lashes. Keep them. Slay

    They look great. They're supposed to look like that! The first time I ever had strip lashes on I told my cousin I thought I looked like a drag queen. I was hooked in less than a week. I can't get them on myself though, so extensions are a much better option for me, and I feel look far more natural than strips. Just take a few days to get used to them, you will love them.

    And as PP have said, take care of them. Keep them clean, be careful washing your face, dont use makeup or removers with oils if you can, and only use specific MADE FOR EXTENSIONS mascara ,... if you must. But honestly I never feel the need for it.

    I'm getting extensions for the first time next Sunday for our wedding! The good thing is you have plenty of time to get used to them before the big day. And yours look fabulous so #winning!
