What is it: Awarded the “Best Eyelash Serum” by Japan’s The Best Cosmetics Awards in 2015, this clear serum-like gel encourages rapid growth and strengthening of the lashes. Some lash professionals suggest “resting periods” of two to three months between every twelve months of continual wear, but Shiori Matsuyama of Los Angeles, CA based, MON CHÉRI Beauty (and my secret eyelash guru or not so secret anymore) says with proper care you can extend the wear and strengthen natural lashes eliminating the need for a resting period.Īfter getting my own lash extensions done with Shiori (who orders her lashes and glue exclusively from Japan), she recommended I use a strengthening lash serum and conditioning lash essence, both Japanese products. Overtime, this can cause weakening and thinning from premature loss of lashes. The added weight of the extensions can cause stress to the natural follicles. The tediously applied extensions are glued on one at a time onto individual lashes, and can take around two hours to apply. So it’s no wonder eyelash extensions have become a beauty addiction for many women.īut like anything in life, there are always tradeoffs. Long, thick lashes frame the eyes, open them up and radiate markers of fertility and health (aka attractiveness). Aside from saving you time getting ready in the morning, makeup-free activities, like swimming or working out, look a whole lot prettier with extensions. (For those who don’t know, a full set costs on average $150-$300, plus a little extra if you want mink or sable lashes, and requires a touchup every 4-6 weeks). If you have (or have had) eyelash extensions, you know the reasons why women shell out hundreds of dollars per year to look perennially doe-eyed.
