Extension styles
Doll Eye
How they’re applied: Doll-eyed style focuses longer lashes towards the middle of your eye and is fantastic to open up your eyes and make them appear bigger.
When to wear: This is a versatile style that is effective for most eye types, especially if you have wide-set or down-turned eyes and want to open them up and make them pop!
When not to wear: If your eyes are very round or protrude, this isn’t as flattering as other styles can be as it can give a surprised, overly round eyed look.
Celebrities with this eyelash extension style: Jessica Alba and Megan Fox use this look to create bigger, brighter eyes!
Cat Eye:
How they’re applied: A feline style uses the longest lashes towards the outside edge of the eyes to give the eyes a longer, exotic look.
When to wear: This works really well on people with strong outer lashes and naturally rounder, or close-set eyes to create an almond shape and a longer appearing eye, and making the eyes appear more widely set.
When not to wear: If your eyes naturally turn downwards or are quite wide set, this may not be the best way to go. If your eye is a little downturned, the longer ends will exaggerate this, so we would apply the longer ones a little closer to the midpoint of the eye to give a ‘lift’
Celebrities with this eyelash extension style: Celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Taylor Swiftregularly use a cat-eye to create an exotic look.
Natural
How they’re applied: These lashes are applied to follow the natural pattern of the lash-line and are usually longer towards the 2/3 point of the eye, enhancing the eyes without changing the shape too drastically.
When to wear: This is great for most eye shapes and lash types and great for daily wear. If you’ve never had lashes before or you’re looking to subtly open up your eyes this is a really effective look.
When not to wear: If you’re after something very noticeable or more dramatic, it’s best to go with a more obvious style.
Celebrities with this eyelash extension style: Blake Lively is often seen with her lashes in a natural shape for a low key look.

MYTHS ABOUT EYELASH EXTENSIONS
1. Eyelash extensions will make your natural lashes fall out.
Not if they’re applied correctly.
“If the extensions are applied correctly and to each individual lash, they won’t damage your lashes but if they are applied with too much glue or if they are stuck together in clumps then they can,”
“Eyelashes have a growth cycle of six weeks and then they shed so that’s the reason why if you put lashes on individually, once they’ve grown out they’ll fall out naturally with your normal lash.
2. All lash technicians are the same.
Lashes are not only for beauty for function! They are used to keep dust, dirt and irritants out of your eye! They are precious and only professionally trained techs using the safest products should be considered.
3. It's painful or uncomfortable.
Not at all. In fact, it's the perfect opportunity for a nap.
The process starts with the bottom lashes being taped down and your eyes closes. Although it is medical grade tape, removing it can be slightly uncomfortable.
"The eyelash technician will them pick up lashes with tweezers, dip them in glue, isolate one natural lash and then attach the synthetic lash onto your natural lash one by one."
It depends on experience or the number of lashes a person has, but general average time for a full set of lashes is one and a half to two hours.
4. They can damage your lashes.
Again, not if they're applied correctly and are not too heavy.
"Most people do want them longer and you can generally see if their lashes are starting to look a little sparse,"
"A good technician will notice and let the client know they are getting to heavy that's causing minor lash damage, so they need to either go down a length or use a lighter type."
5. You can pick them off when you're done with them.
Please, please don't.
"If you pick your eyelash, you can traumitize the follicle and it won't grow back from that spot.
"No growth serum will magically make them grow back unless there's a natural hair follicle."
Any good eyelash technician will offer a service to remove lashes. If they don't have the gel remover required, coconut oil will do the trick.
6. You don't have to do anything to them.
Yes, they can save time but they do require minor maintenance.
"You can't get them wet for 24 hours, which is just a precaution while the glue is curing,"
"Also avoid products with oil for the whole duration as it softens the bonding of the glue."
You should also be washing your lashes with an oil-free cleanser everyday to remove a build up of dead skin, natural oils and makeup that collects. It's hygienic and will ensure you get the best out of your extensions (usually about three weeks). I have a cleanser that is included in my full set.
7. You can't put mascara over them.
"Most people find that they don't need mascara on top but it depends on how dramatic you want that look. Once you've had them for a while, you may get used to them and feel the need to put mascara on," she says.
If you do, make sure it's oil-free and not water proof.
