When it comes to eyelash extensions, looks are only part of the equation. 

We're all aware of how lash extensions can beautifully enhance the shape and size of our eyes. Yet, the wonderful benefits of eyelash extensions go beyond just aesthetics, whether you prefer a striking high-volume style or a softer, more natural look.

So, what are those benefits? Below, we’re exploring some of the top reasons why you should get eyelash extensions, plus tips for choosing an eyelash extension style that works with your face and beauty goals. 

 

Benefits of Eyelash Extensions

The benefits of eyelash extensions can be broadly categorized into two aspects: enhancing your appearance and boosting your confidence.

In terms of your looks, eyelash extensions can amplify the volume of your natural lashes and highlight your eyes without the need for a time-intensive makeup routine. For those who want a dramatic transformation, volume lashes can draw more attention to the eyes and ensure you roll out of bed looking glam every day. 

Of course, looks aren’t everything. We work with plenty of clients who opt for extensions because of the confidence boost they offer and who simply enjoy the overall effect of the added length and curl. 

Whether you fall into one category or embrace both, it's difficult to overlook the undeniable benefits of eyelash extensions. Regardless of your preference, whether for a bold statement or a more subtle enhancement, either choice is reason enough to justify why investing in eyelash extensions is truly worthwhile.

 

Choosing the Right Eyelash Extension Style

Ladies, dive into the world of eyelash extensions with a variety of styles to choose from! Whether you're aiming for a sweet, natural lash boost or craving the drama of ultra-dimensional volume lashes, it's all about the length, shape, and density that define these fabulous looks.

 

  • Cat eye – Cat eye lashes, the most popular style, are shorter at the inner eye and gradually lengthen toward the outer eye, creating a dramatic look that complements most eye shapes.
  • Round Eye – These lashes are longest at the center, which gives the illusion of an eye being more round than it is and opens up your eye to look bigger. 
  • Squirrel Eye – This shape is best for clients who want to achieve a cat eye effect but naturally have downturned eyes; this will manipulate their eyes to lift and give them the exact effect they are looking for without making their eyes droop down. 
  • Natural – The natural lash style builds on what you’re already working with, providing a custom look that enhances your inherent lash structure rather than creating a new one. 

 

During one of our complimentary consultations, a technician will discuss your desired level of drama and recommend styles that suit your eye shape and size best. From there, a full set will take about 1-2 hours to be applied, and will last for up to six weeks with proper care. 

 

How to Get Natural Looking Eyelash Extensions

If you prefer a natural appearance, there are a few tricks to achieve it. The good news is you can still have voluminous lashes while keeping that understated, natural effect.

The secret to natural-looking eyelash extensions is to go with shorter lashes that use the same style guidelines noted above but with some intentional subtlety. Thickness plays a role, too, with lash extension results tending to be less natural the more dense they are. 

Going with a more natural lash is a classic choice. It’s also easier to maintain and could end up being healthier for your lashes in the long run.
