i loved your take on mcqueen, you pull off such a bold look with such grace
Hey, Phyllis, this is a question regarding individual lashes. How did you take them off without ripping off your natural lashes? I’ve tried using them twice and I loved the initial result but after a few days, the fake lashes would “grow” along with my real ones and sort of dangle off since they were at my roots anymore. When I tried to take them off, nothing would work! I ended up losing ~10 real lashes. Also, did you glue them more on your skin or on your eyelashes? I tried attaching them just above my real lashes, on my eyelid, but they would just flake and fall off. Thanks a LOT for the help!!
hey guys, thank you for all the compliments. I know it’s been a while since I posted a look but I have been really busy. I’ll try to post another one this weekend or early next week.
Hyein, you are not supposed to rip off your lash extensions! They will shed naturally but if you need to remove them, you do need a special remover for that (I think Ardell makes one).
Do NOT glue the lashes onto your skin. Just place them on top of your natural lashes. Please also make sure you are using the right glue and not an oil-based eye makeup remover.
Here’s an entry I wrote about my lash extension experience :
