The available variety of makeup and cosmetics for women today is constantly growing. Now women everywhere have the option to add professionally applied look to their eye enhancement routine. A synthetic eyelash extension can be directly applied to the natural eyelash for longer, thicker, and more beautiful lashes all the time. Many Asian makeup artists, in particular, are recommending them to their clients.

Many different brands and styles are widely used today with great satisfaction and success. It is important to note however, that eyelash extensions legally can only be applied by a trained, licensed aesthetician or cosmetologist to prevent damage (sometimes permanent), to the eye.

An eyelash extension procedure will last on average six to eight weeks depending upon the individuals natural lash cycle of growth, but with proper care and frequent touch ups there are some cases where high quality extensions have been known to last as long as twelve months. Synthetic eyelash extensions effectively eliminate the need for mascara and will stay in place while swimming, sleeping or in the shower.

Although most find it completely unnecessary, a light weight, water based conditioning mascara may help to keep them looking and feeling luscious and soft for a longer period of time. Due to the enormous popularity and the high levels of demand, nearly any professional quality salon will have at least one well qualified aesthetician on staff that will not only apply the extensions but also provide the proper follow up care and give detailed information on any concerns or questions the consumer may have.

The procedures for each particular application can differ greatly depending upon the technician or cosmetologist, and costs vary considerably based on the salon, location, and the brand selection of choice. These synthetic lashes are made of fibers such as silk and mink and applied separately to each and every lash one by one, long eyelash extensions are becoming a staple for the modern woman.

Synthetic eyelashes definitely are a huge step above the sets of false eyelashes that women have been buying at the corner drugstore for decades; “falsies” can not even compare. For high drama effects and those large, lovely super model eyes that are guaranteed to draw a lot of attention, superior synthetic eyelashes are worth a long, serious look. They come in many lengths, are absolutely fabulous for special occasions and reliable enough for everyday wear.
