Falsies vs lash extensions

Jocelyn, on October 23, 2019 at 3:12 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 1 9
What do you guys recommend? Do the volume lashes look thick enough? I'm afraid that without mascara, the lashes won't have the same full, thick look but I've never had extensions done so I have no idea.

    I prefer individuals rather than strips. Strips are convenient because you can take put them on and take them off the same day but individuals look more natural and last longer. I plan to get mink individuals for my big day.

    I got lash extensions and they ruined my real lashes so I wouldn’t do them again. I also didn’t like having to be careful around getting my eyes wet, how I slept, and rubbing my eyes. I do know people that absolutely love them though but they weren’t for me.

    I ended up doing both personally. The false lashes were great for the wedding and I had my makeup artist give me some additional ones the day of

    I did false lashes with mascara the day of and they looked great! As Kelly said, lash extensions will ruin your real lashes.

    Hated extensions. I had a membership and got them filled but they always fell out within days. It had nothing to do with how I "cared for" them. I think I sleep with my face in the pillow. They also didn't give the glam wow vibe that false lashes do. I 100% say go with false.

    Personally I love how extensions look, but when I had them they were incredibly hard to maintain (would get smooshed while I slept, had to be very careful with makeup and makeup remover). When I had them taken off my natural lashes were short and broken for months. For that reason alone I vowed I wouldn't get them again.

    If you've never had extensions, I wouldn't do them now. I'd just do falsies and you'll be happy. You could look into a lash lift & tint too, but it's hard to experiment this close to the wedding.

    Falsies for sure! I got lash extensions and they are amazing for a natural look, but they don’t have the va va voom for my wedding day... I would say definitely go for the falsies. Also lash extensions are so hard to take care of and upkeep ($$$&dollarSmiley winking

    I got a lash lift and 100% recommend that! Less maintenance/risk than a lash extension, but you get the look of false eyelashes for sure.
