Eyelash extensions have exploded in popularity recently uh, and for good reason, ya know? That wide-eyed, youthful look of full, dark lashes frames your eyes beautifully without the clumpy mascara hassle. But are classic eyelash extensions really worth it? I tried Lashes by RK: Your Destination for Classic Eyelash Extensions for the first time last month, and lemme tell you – I’m hooked! Here are 5 reasons why I think classic extensions might be the perfect beauty trend for you too:
1. Time saver, baby
Put down that eyelash curler and save yourself some precious time in the morning! Classic eyelash extensions look amazing 24/7, so you can snooze a little later and skip stubborn mascara application every dang day. I used to get so frustrated trying to put on mascara without making a messy raccoon face, you feel me? My extensions lift my eyes effortlessly like I have natural lashes from the mascara gods!
2. Photos for the ‘gram
Want your eyes to pop for selfies and look oh-so-fab in photos? Eyelash extensions curl upward beautifully to frame your eyes for any impromptu photo opp. No more tiny lashes disappearing in pics! You’ll photograph like an Instagram influencer with lush, full lashes courtesy of extensions. #eyegasm
3. Lashes on fleek all day
The extensions are expertly shaped to stay perky and lifted from your morning coffee through happy hour cocktails, my friend. No drooping here! Mimicking natural lashes, the tapered extensions are lighter toward the outer corners of your eyes for a subtle, fluttery effect. The specially crafted lashes stay in place without falling onto your cheeks like old mascara.
4. Customized glam
How dramatic do you want to go? Choose your curl, length, thickness. Go glam diva or soft and natural – it’s up to you! I prefer a subtle everyday look with a touch more length and lift. But you can vamp it up with mega volume for a big night out! Either way, extensions tailor that bombshell gaze you crave.
5. Low maintenance beauty
Brush gently morning and night to keep extensions neat, and avoid oil-based eye makeup remover so they last longer. Fill-ins needed every 2-3 weeks aren’t too demanding. Much easier maintenance than my old tedious mascara routine! The time and cost savings make extensions totally worth it in my book.
Okay okay, eyelash extensions aren’t cheap – costs range from $100 to $300. Ouch. But in my opinion, the big boost in confidence and convenience outweigh the price tag. I seriously feel prettier with soft, fluttery extensions framing my eyes. Unlike clumsy false lashes, they look and feel like your own!
So if you’re down with lash lifts, eyelash curlers and layers of mascara every morning – but never quite get the bombshell lashes you want – it may be time to try extensions. Take the lash leap like I did! You just might find yourself asking, why didn’t I get eyelash extensions sooner?
