r/eyelashextensions

Lash artists, do you offer this kind of styles? Is this kind of look popular in your area or your clients prefer longer/fuller volume ?

i went to a beauty salon to get individual lashes do they but do they look too heavy for my eyes

Usually when I get lashes I feel like they weigh down my and I stopped getting them for awhile, this time I really emphasized to my lash tech that I wanted them natural. I like the length and all but I feel like they look too sparse. Are they okay and I’m just not used to them?

I get lots of stray eyelashes growing backwards into my eye or randomly on my eyelid. I have to pluck the stray ones all the time and often one will be behaving and just decide to point down in my eye all of a sudden. The texture of them also varies dramatically, some are curly, some are dead straight, some are wonky in random directions, some are short and fine. This is right after a shower so no makeup.

I tried to get lash extensions once and the tech called over her coworker to come look, apparently a chunk of my eyelashes were as long as the longest ones they offered at the time which was 14mm. They make sunglasses super uncomfortable when I try to wear them and they touch my eyebrows when I look up. Wearing basic mascara gets me questions about my "extensions"! Unfortunately they are way more gappy and sparse then they were when I was younger because I had trich and pulled them out with my fingers constantly so a lot of them stopped growing back and this is what I'm left with.

You can see some tiny fine ones growing back that I plucked bc they were getting stuck inconveniently, growing in the wrong direction or sticking into my eye.

My son also has the same thing but he has one distinct row of long dark lashes like mine and a second distinct row of shorter blonder lashes like his dad (he has mosaicism).

Hi! I'm just starting to do my own lash extensions and would love some advice on a lash map that would suit my eye shape. I attached a picture of my eye and the Cofier lashes I'll be using—they're C curl lashes.
I was originally planning on doing a short cat-eye, but I'd also love to try a wispy or doll-eye look if you think that would suit my eye shape better.

Hi all,

I LOVE anime lashes but the spikes my artist uses are too heavy for my lashes I think. I have loooots of eyelashes but theyre all very thin and not super strong + my hair (anywhere but including lashes) just grows really fast.

This is a very cute set I got recently but it ended up like the other two pictures after just a few days. Those lashes are still very much attached to my own lashes + eyelid but they flip and bug the hell out of me.

Should I just be getting 1:1 extensions so theyre not as heavy? I do like my lashes to look a little more "done" rather than on the natural side.

Is there a serum I can use or anything else to help my lashes be thicker? LOL I'm really puzzled :(

My client used this as an inspo. She has round eyes. Wears glasses and said she wants it to be bold because she has darker skin.

Hi girliessss so I usually get a cat eye for my lashes but lately I've been doing doll eye and I'm torn on which ones look better on me. Give me opinions!! pls n ty 💗💗🥰

(first two pics are cat eye and last two pics are doll eye)

I specifically had told her not to do thicker lashes and she showed my a pic of "kitten lashes" which looked great! I literally said I don't mind anything just not the thick lashes. I want the longest ones to be 14 mm.

this is what i got in response

she said she had to do it really thick because of how short my eyelashes were (they are super short lmao). So
on a different note, does anyone know of anyways for me to remove these. I'm sad I wasted 135 dollars for eyelashes I didn't ask for but i'd rather take them out then to walk around with bat wings

hey, i was scrolling on tiktok when i came across a video of this girls lashes! my mom regularly does lash sets on me but i buy the materials for each set. could any of you tell me what kind of lashes i would need to buy or even what the lash map for this kind of set would be?

I just got my offer letter and I don’t know if I should do it or not. I think this sounds bad but maybe it is normal? Help?

I have hooded eyes and long lashes and am worried I will look overly surprised and scared lol. I want a tint for sure but wanted some opinions on what lift might work if it is recommended I've heard Korean lift has left of a c shaped curly curl

I have had lash extensions for well over 6 years. I had a dodgy set in January my lash tech fixed them. They were stuck to my actual lid 🥲 ANYWAY since then whenever I get a set or fill one eye gets a “fume burn” in the exact same spot. However the redness goes away but then when I wear makeup it will go like a dull red at exactly my bottom half of my eyeball. It’s not really a pain it’s more like a very minor irritation but still aware of it.
I had to use steroids and eyedrops for 2 weeks to fix it. I then let my eye heal for 3 months and tried again. SAME THING
My lash tech is very reputable and I have never had issues before.
I have no other symptoms just my eye ball?!
I really don’t want to give the extensions up as from what I’ve read it’s not an allergy??
First photo is initial reaction, second is when I wear makeup even after the redness goes away.
