You can get your lashes wet right away!
Yes, no need to avoid water. It's an old myth that has no scientific backup whatsoever that you have to keep your lashes dry for the first 24h/48h/eternity. Glue cures in seconds and water does not affect it once it's cured. Guaranteed! If you have sensitive eyes washing your lashes with a lash cleanser right after the application helps a ton with redness and irritation.
With a soft bristle brush (eyeshadow brush works perfectly!) and a foaming lash cleanser. This prevents the skin oil, bacteria, and makeup from building up on your lash line and will help your lash extensions last longer!
Oil-free makeup remover if you use waterproof makeup is a must!
Use oil-free products on your eye area
Brush lashes every morning and when needed with a spoolie
Mascara, strip lashes, and lash curlers
This might seem kind of obvious but we think we should still warn you! Mascara will clump your lashes together, strip lash glue will be impossible to remove from the lash line without tipping some extensions off and lash curler will simply ruin your lash extensions.
Rubbing or pulling your lashes
Sleeping on your face (hello wrinkles!)
And we are not talking about your Caribbean vacation! Be careful around cigarettes, candles, BBQs or any other source of open flame or heat! Since lashes are made from PBT(type of plastic) they might melt, singe, or lose the curl. Also, don't point your blow dryer on high heat setting directly onto the lashes - that will not singe them but they might lose the curl from the hot air!
Avoid oily formulas around your eyes. We recommend refraining from using eyeliner and oily pencils and switching to eyeshadows as it’s easier to remove.
Makeup and lash extensions
Everyone has a different lash cycle, and our lashes grow and shed at various speeds. It's normal to lose up to 10 natural lashes per eye per day(all as a part of the natural growth and shedding cycle). That's why we usually recommend coming to one of our studios conveniently located in Downtown or Midtown Toronto for refills every 2-3 weeks, but you'll have to find the time frame that works best for you! Keep in mind that you have 120+ lashes per eye, and it's normal to lose a couple of lashes every day as a part of your natural shedding cycle!
Come back for refills frequently!
