Celebrity eyelash extensions - Hollywood's hottest trend.

You may or may not have noticed, but actors, singers and other celebs live for their eyelash extensions! Feeling more glamorous with long, luscious lashes, eyelash extensions have become a huge trend all over the world and of course Ibiza. Let's take a look at 6 celebrities who rock their eyelash extensions:

Kim Kardashian

The 'Kim Kardashian look' is actually a 'thing' in the eyelash extension business. A mixture of classic and volume lashes, with varying lengths throughout to create a 'spike' look. Only suitable for strong natural lashes who can take this fuller, glam look.

Katy Perry

Whether Katy's shopping for her fruit and veg, or on stage - she always looks on point. And eyelash extensions are her secret. Katy goes for the doll shaped look - longer lashes in the centre of the eye, with volume extensions, C curl.

Beyonce

The singer says 'she wakes up like this' - and technically she does, because eyelash extensions mean you look glam from the moment you wake up!

Selena Gomez

Selena goes for volume over length, as we know that a shorter length creates the illusion of thicker eyelash extensions. Selena's eyes are smaller and almond shaped, so she sticks to a more natural length with a cat eye shape.

Jennifer Lopez

Jenny is the queen of glam - and her eyelash extensions enhance this look. Jennifer loves the cat eye look - to emphasise and maximise her almond shaped eyes.

Belleza Natural Eyelash Extensions

How incredible your eyelash extensions will look after leaving your treatment is 90% about how you maintain them with lash extension care.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all know cleaning oils and bacteria off of our eyelash extensions can help them to last weeks longer, yet so many people are afraid just the opposite will happen. Every day I have lash clients tell me that they are afraid to clean their lashes, or that they feel cleaning the lashes actually makes the extensions fall off sooner. 

Like anything, confidence is key. I will in detail show you the three easy steps to maintain and clean your lash extensions. You will see that not only do they last weeks longer, they will feel softer, less itchy, and more comfortable overall. Cleaning is so important because our lashes can get bacteria, and even mites if we do not take care of them. It won't matter if your mega volume lashes are on point if you have a stye or eye infection! 

Oil is the enemy of lash extensions because it causes the adhesive to soften and clump up. So keeping natural oils from lids and fingers at bay is just as important as using oil free products near the eye area. 

You can gently pat dry with a regular towel just be careful not to pull because the lashes can sometimes get caught on towel. Just do a gently pat in this case, or use a blow of the hair dryer on a cool setting.

1. No water for 24 hours. no steam for 48 hours (this includes hot streamy showers or baths). You can have a shower just keep your head out of the water.

2. Avoid getting any products on the lashes that contain oil or glycol as well as saline, or salts.  If you sweat heavily rinse with water or oil free make up after your workout. Same goes for crying.  Try and use eye drops that are saline free, if you are someone who needs eye drops.

 

3. When removing your eye makeup (liner, shadow, etc.), gently go over the area with a Q Tip instead of placing cotton pads or puffs over your lids—not only could you eventually weaken the extensions and mess them up, the cotton fibers get stuck on lashes. (Not cute). Or use your fingers and clean and rinse in the shower.

 

4. Use either water or oil free eye make up remover. Baby shampoo works wonders!

 

5. Brush lashes regularly with a clean mascara wand. Close one eye, place the wand on top of your lashes, then roll the brush over lashes to keep them defined.

 

6. Resist playing with them. Your eyelashes shed naturally, so when you have extensions, this will help push them off. If an extension looks out of place, avoid playing with it or twisting or pulling it off—you'll risk losing your natural lashes. Let them come out on their own, and use a wand to brush them back into place in the meantime.

Are you guys obsessed with lash extensions like I am ;)
