Life is short, your lashes shouldn't be.
ENTITY shares all the different available types of eyelash extensions out there!Eyelash extensions have become widely popular in the most recent year. It’s impossible to scroll through the Instagram beauty community without seeing eyelashes being marketed, reviewed, and batted at you. Where it used to be a luxury solely used by celebrities and actresses, now everyday women are wearing them too. If you’re like me, you’re intrigued by them but may not know where to start. There are three main types of eyelash extensions most commonly used, each with their own specific pros and cons. Continue reading below to find the best fit for your personality type!
Synthetic lash extensions, also known as acrylic extensions, are the classic eyelash extension. They are made of synthetic material as the name suggests and are the heaviest of the three. If you like to make a statement with your fashion and you prefer a dramatic look, these are the extensions for you. Synthetic lashes are bold and made for batting. They are often shiny due to the materials they’re made of.
Synthetic lashes don’t lose their curl when wet and look great without applying mascara. They require minimal maintenance, so they’re perfect if you’re busy and frequently on the go. Pair these lashes with a red lip and a pair of sparkling, earrings and you’re ready for wherever the wind may take you.
If you’re a part-time diva, part-time “Plain Jane”, these are the lash extensions for you. Silk lashes are the most versatile of the three. They are lighter than the synthetic ones but can still offer a dramatic flair. Silk lash extensions are as flexible as you are. So, whether you’re hitting the town, getting in a morning workout, or just relaxing poolside, these lashes are made for your ever-changing lifestyle.
They can be more subtle for a natural look or pumped for a bold, head-turning style. Silk lashes tend to last a bit longer than their synthetic counterparts. They’re also healthier for your eyelashes if you have medium to fine types of natural eyelashes. If you have a hard time choosing just one, these are your perfect pair. Keep switching up style with confidence, whether your goal is to stand out or just blend in, silk lashes will complement each variety of your look.
For our simplistic beauty, I offer you Mink lash extensions. These are the softest and most gentle option. If you want a lash that compliments your natural beauty mink lashes are the way to go. Most estheticians do actually use faux-mink lashes, despite the name. Unfortunately, when wet, Mink lashes do tend to lose their curl. Mink lashes require daily maintenance and curling to remain their daintiness and freshness. As the premier eyelash extension, they are light and poised, just like you. You’ll have everyone thinking you ‘woke up like this.’
Mink lashes take the longest time to install of all three types, at least one and a half hours. Make sure to give yourself ample time to have these applied, you won’t regret it. These Mink lash extensions accentuate your organic look and add a slight pop to your bare beauty.
