I want eyelashes but dont know what to look for

I have very short eyelashes and am naturally blonde so they look non existent. I have recently had my eyebrows done with permanent make up and am amazed by the confidence it gives me. I previously had very sparse / non existent eyebrows. I am 65 years of age so it comes with that!

I would now like to do something with my eyelashes but despite seeing loads of different adverts over facebook I have no idea what I should be looking for. I prefer a natural (no make up) kind of look. I have hooded eyes so it needs to be sympathetic to that. Please help

I have LVL lashes every 8 weeks or so, it’s a tint and lift. I love it as it looks natural.

The simplest start is just to get them tinted. See how you like that and then decide if you want to take it further.

Im a redhead with fair lashes so I get mone done every 2-3 weeks. I wear mascara for 'going out' but tinted is great for everyday definition.

Youll need a 24hr patch test.

I’m your age with hooded eyes, no brows and very short lashes. I used to get lash extensions every few months for about five years and loved them. Unfortunately the woman left and her replacement was terrible, my lashes broke off.

I’d certainly recommend giving them a try if you can find someone recommended
