Question 8

How do I take care of my lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

The more meticulous you are about caring for your eyelash extensions, the longer you can expect them to last.

• Use only water based and oil-free products around your eye area, including mascara and makeup remover. Oil breaks down the adhesive bond. Creams and serums should be applied sparingly, and no closer to than the orbital bone.  Anything that hasn’t absorbed after 2 minutes can be blotted with a tissue or blotting paper.
 • Avoid waterproof mascara. If you can, it is better not to use any mascara at all  as wearing mascara regularly will decrease the time between touch-up appointments.
 • Always wash your eyelashes with gentle foamy cleanser, like baby shampoo, applied gently with your fingers and wash with water every single day. Remember, eyelashes are meant to protect our eyes from debris, dirt and dust.
 • Dry thoroughly by blotting (not rubbing) with a towel or blow drying on a cool setting, then spin through with a clean mascara wand.
 • Avoid using cotton swabs or pads that will leave lint and catch on your extensions.
 • Avoid using an eyelash curler as it creates a kink in your eyelash extensions, hence reducing the life of your extensions.
 • Do not rub, pick, twist or pull at your lashes or eyelash extensions. If you would like them removed, please contact your beverly hills lashes professional.
 • If you can, sleep on your back to avoid the risk of lashes rubbing against your pillow.
 • Be gentle with your lashes. How you care for eyelash extensions will directly affect the look of your lashes as well as the length of time between touch-up appointments.

If you experience any pain, redness or irritation, contact your beverly hills lashes professional immediately.

Question 9

Can I wear mascara?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended to wear mascara over the eyelash extensions as it can weaken the bond of the adhesive and cause premature loss of the extensions. However, you may wear water-based, non waterproof mascara on the lower lashes, being careful when applying and removing them. Waterproof mascara is never recommended.

However La Belle Lash Co. is not liable for reaction due to our products used. If you are concerned, consider a patch test several days prior to your appointment.

Question 12

Make Up to Avoid

Accepted Answer

Not all makeup products out there are compatible with lash extension. Some products will loosen the bond causing lashes to drop prematurely. Some products may be difficult to remove and may leave residue on lashes. This residue buildup may leave lashes feeling gritty or looking clumpy. For makeup that is made for lash extensions visit our makeup page.

We suggest you avoid using the following makeup products:
 • Oil-based makeup remover
 • Eyedrops that  contain natural oils
 • Waterproof mascara
 • “tubing” mascaras (mascara that comes off in a “tube”)
