5 Secrets to Making Eyelash Extensions Last Longer

1. Sleep on your back. This might sound like a crazy
request (unless you already sleep on your back), but it's
really important directly following your application, since
the glue takes a while to dry fully and you'll otherwise
get weird kinks. After a night or two, resume your normal
sleeping position.

2. Give your lashes a little-ok, a lot- of TLC. When
removing your eye makeup (liner, shadow, etc.), gently go
over the area with a cleansing wipe 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). Try

3. Lube them up. You might think keeping your lash extensions dry is smart, but they actually stay nicer, longer, when they're oiled up (this helps keep them flexible). Just rub a drop of baby oil on them with your fingers.

4. Comb them out. To prevent any criss-crossing or wonky-
looking lashes, use a spoolie wand. Close one eye, place the spoolie on top of your lashes, then roll the brush over
lashes to keep them defined.

5. 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 spoolie to brush them back into place in the meantime.
