Help! Need short eyelash extensions!

[shelldockley]

I really want to get eyelash extensions for my wedding in September, but the last time I tried them I ended up with massive ones that looked ridiculous! I'm going to try another salon, but all the example pics I keep seeing are really long spidery looking lashes, I'd like mine shorter and fuller. More natural looking like Audrey Hepburn.
Has anyone got any pics that I could show the therapist? Or do the false lashes only come in a long length? Am I asking the impossible?

I don't want them to look like this:

But I can't find any pics of what I do want them to look like!

Ok. I know a thing or two.....

Eyelash extensions come in many lengths and thicknesses, and several degrees of curl. Havent seen you of course, but i would say you probably want 8 or 10mm length, a .15mm thickness and a B or C curl. And a kitten flick (where they place slightly longer lashes towards the outer corner of your eye)

If your own lashes are very fair, get them tinted first.

This would give most women a natural but visible look with a lift at the edges.

The best extensions are done by beauticians who specialise, do practically nothing else, and have been 'lashing' for a couple of years at least.

The ones on offer for £20 are likely to be crapola imho.

Hope this helps.

Wow, that is a very technical answer, thankyou!

Are you based in London at all, sounds like you're the woman to go to!

Sorry, no am on south coast and have stopped doing them as eyes going xxxxxxxxd lol

Going on hols for a week but if you can wait i'll do some digging when i get back and see if i can find someone fantastic. And i mean fantastic, not just someone i know (hate it when people do that)

Are you N, S, E oe W London? Xx

I work in the city so anywhere central or east of the city is best for me, that would be fab, thanks for your help!

Hi Shell, Esmereldada's advice fab for extensions

If you do use glue on false lashes for nights out though there are some brilliant short thick ones that Revlon do - they are called Thickening Chic (91204 on my pack). They are short enough not to hit my glasses but fab for volume/darkness - especially if you use the dark glue to apply.
you can get them (of all places!) at Asda look here
