Eyelash extensions

Eyelash extensions are any number of enhancements designed add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes. They may be compared to hair extensions for one's eyelashes. They can be separated into two types: temporary and semi-permanent.

Types of Lashes

Temporary false lashes are any lashes designed to be worn for a short period; ie, a day or less. They can be made with human hair, or with synthetic materials. They are not designed to be worn when showering, sleeping or swimming. They are applied with lash glue designed specifically for temporary lashes. Permanent lashes, also known as eyelash extensions, are lashes applied with a stronger adhesive. Generally, a single lash is applied to each natural lash; the bond is designed to last until the lashes naturally fall out.

For both types, eyelashe come in various lengths, colours and thicknesses, from natural-looking to outrageous.
