Top 5 Reasons Eyelash Extensions Beat Out Mascara

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Xtreme Lashes

Ever wonder what all the “eyelash extension” fuss is about? Do you wonder what is it about those little synthetic lash strands that has everyone in a lash craze? Maybe you’re thinking, “I’ve got a great mascara. It’s just as good.” Well, not quite. Eyelash extensions have a few lash legs up on their liquid eyelash enhancing counterparts. Here’s why:

Lash Extensions and Mascara Compared

5. Custom Looks: You can’t create a cat eyed look, vary the curl of different lashes to add lift or choose exactly how long you want your lashes to be with mascara. Your Lash Stylist can do all this and more with eyelash extensions!

4. No Panda Peepers: Eyelash extensions won’t run, bleed, drip, etc., etc. You will be safe to swim, shower, cry, perspire (or “glow” if you like) and not leave any telltale signs that your lashes have been “enhanced” from those that Mother Nature blessed you with. Who hasn’t had one of those unfortunate black-eyed mascara incidents?

3. Easy Breezy Cleanup: No going through 10 cotton swabs and more than a few tissues at night trying (always unsuccessfully it seems) to get ALL the black off your eyes. Just regularly oil-free cleansing of your face and eyes, and you’re in the clear with eyelash extensions.

2. Always On: At some point you have to (or at least you really, really ought to) take off your mascara. So there will be times when you just don’t have that extra lash oomph you love. Not so with eyelash extensions. This is a 24-7, rain or shine, morning or night lash love affair. Mad dash to the store? You’re lashed. 5 am wakeup? Bat those beauties. Unforeseen zombie invasion? You look mahvelous, dahling!

And the NUMBER ONE REASON eyelash extensions trump mascara?

1. MORE!!! Simply put, eyelash extensions just give you more. More length and more fullness than any mascara in the world could ever even dream of achieving. There’s a reason all those mascara ads use “lash inserts” (their discreet name for lash extensions, flairs or falsies)! They want to show REALLY dramatic and high volume lashes – but they just can’t without a little help from their synthetic lash friends.
