- Is it possible to dye eyelash extensions with regular mascara? Not always! Under the ban means with oils: they can “dissolve” the glue on which the extended eyelashes are held. For the same reason, by the way, it is worth choosing dry eye shadow.

- When choosing a brush, consider the effect you want to achieve. For example, if the extended eyelashes are long and curled, you can give them extra volume.
On the first day after the procedure, it is better not to touch the extended eyelashes at all. And after you need a clean brush, because. Eyelash extensions are recommended to be combed several times a day. Important: only dry eyelashes can be combed!

How to apply mascara on eyelash extensions: basic rules
To properly apply mascara to your eyelash extensions, follow the simple tips of our makeup artists:

- Many girls like to apply mascara in zigzag motions to give them maximum volume. This can loosen your lash extensions and cause them to fall out.
- Movements when painting should be smooth!
