Updating Your Appearance

Lash Extensions Might Be For You, After All

by Melinda Hawkins

If you are not overly into beauty and don't spend an hour doing your makeup every morning, you may initially dismiss the idea of lash extensions. They might seem like some superfluous, unnecessary beauty addition and a silly idea if you don't already wear false eyelashes. But eyelash extensions are a lot more than long-lasting false eyelashes! They actually come with a lot of benefits, even if you are not a huge beauty guru.

1. Extensions make you look more alert.

If you have ever been asked if you're tired or told that you look worn out, you know how frustrating such comments can be. Eyelash extensions really open up and call attention to your eyes, so you look more awake and alert -- even when you really are sleepy! Coworkers will think of you as more approachable, energetic, and motivated.

2. Extensions may save you from having to apply makeup at all.

Maybe your makeup routine is already minimal. You just swipe on some eyeliner, perhaps a coat of mascara, and head out the door. Eyelash extensions add so much drama to your face that you might be able to skip makeup entirely. Think of how much time you'll save? Even if you do wear a little more makeup on your face, they can keep you from having to apply anything from your eyes -- which is the most time-consuming part.

3. Extensions make your eye color stand out.

When was the last time you really noticed what color someone's eyes were? Eye color is a thing of beauty, but it can get lost in the details if the eyes are not accentuated. Eyelash extensions call attention to your eyes, and their darkness is a nice contrast to your natural eye color. People will start noticing and commenting on the beautiful, natural color of your eyes.

4. Eyelash extensions make you feel pampered.

Maybe you're not overly into makeup and beauty, but doing something nice, just for yourself, can still feel good every now and then. Perhaps lashes can be that thing for you -- the thing you do to make yourself feel pampered and valued in this world that can so often feel overwhelming and impersonal. You deserve to treat yourself.

Eyelash extensions are a lot more than just a beauty product. Once you get them, you'll wonder how you ever made do without them. Reach out to your local salon professional at a place like Citrine Skin and Lash Spa to learn more.
