Talk to me about eyelash extensions

Is it possible to get "natural looking" ones? Don't want the strip ones so are there also literally single ones added hair by hair or just those in little bunches only? I just don't want to be faffing with mascara anymore but at the same time don't want to look washed out. Does such animal exist?

Lvl is a perm for your eyelashes and once it starts to drop out, combined with new lashes growing...you end up looking shit. Sorry but it’s true.

I have Russian lashes
I get mine infills every 2weeks occasionally 3 weeks if I’m away
They are fantastic
I don’t look like Penelope Pittstopp as my husband first commented on the first crap set I had done
They are very natural looking as well

Reading this, I don't know if I should be worried now, I had a set of individual lashes applied today at the beauty studio in a Superdrug store & it probably didn't take any longer than 30 mins & was £18! She did say they'll last up to 7 days, depending how well they are looked after. They look very natural, not a curl in them, just longer and more lashes. I did very very gently curl the tips with a old loose eyelash curler to give them a bit of a lift otherwise there's no 'wow' factor.

We'll see happens with them, I just hope I haven't ruined my own lashes if they're supposed to of taken at least an hour an a half to apply!

Can someone advise if you can feel the glue bits when you touch the extensions? Or is it meant to be smooth and seamless?

They are amazing if done properly, make sure you find someone with lots of experience. It takes 1.5hrs for a full set costing around 80-100. A refill takes 45-60mins every 2-3 weeks so it is expensive and requires maintenance.
The difference it can make to your face is incredible. I had the thinnest lashes, one per lash as my natural lashes are thin and weak so couldn’t hold the weight of anything thicker.
A rubbish technician can ruin your lashes though so be cautious!
