Why have eyelash extensions become so popular?
It’s clear that eyelash extensions are a beauty trend that won’t be going away quickly. The treatment – in which a technician carefully applies artificial lashes using a small amount of glue – has become extremely popular over the past few years. But why is this exactly? Here are five reasons why.
Celebrities
The world is more obsessed with celebs than ever before – and it hasn’t taken long for people to spot that the who’s who of the A-list are now boasting fabulous eyelash extensions. Just some of the famous faces you can see wearing them include Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé.
Time and money
Quite frankly, people have become tired of splashing out on mascara to enhance their eyelashes. Instead, they are learning that it saves a whole lot of time and money to simply have extensions fitted. Once a beautician has worked their magic, you can get weeks of enjoyment out of eyelash extensions without having to worry about them on a day-to-day basis like before.
Myths debunked
Once upon a time people were wary of getting eyelash extensions. Why? Well, many bought into the myth that they were heavy and could come loose at the most inconvenient times. However, most have now wised up to the reality that the extensions are actually light and sturdy.
Natural
The newer lines of eyelash extensions no longer look artificial. In fact, it can often take a keen eye to spot that they’re not the real deal. This makes them perfect for occasions such as weddings and first dates.
Maintenance
Last but certainly not least, it’s easier than ever to maintain your eyelash extensions. While the treatment is still best to be carried out by a qualified beautician, in most circumstances you won’t need to have them re-done for at least a few weeks. As well, a touch-up generally only lasts anywhere between 30 minutes and one hour.
