Eyelash extension

My eyes were a flutter this Christmas with longer fuller lashes. This was a treat to myself and I had lots of compliments.
With make-up, flicked eye liner, eye shadow and mascara my eyes looked really good. They were obviously too long to be natural but didn't look too trashy or like they belonged to Ru Paul!

I have several friends who have had their eyelashes extended. Theirs had a a full but natural look and were rather pricey. One friend in Devon paid £80 and another in London paid £40.

I had mine done at a friendly beauticians in Thornton Heath called 'Fulona's' and paid £15. I had their natural lashes rather than volume, but even these were very long. They applied clusters of 4 to 5 lashes with a special adhesive just above my own eyelashes and they lasted just over one week. It only took 20 minutes and I didn't need to book an appointment.

After one week, a couple of clusters of lashes were becoming lose. The rest were easy to remove and did not in anyway damage my own lashes or leave any unpleasant residue.

I'll definitely be having these done again, when I next have a dressy event to go to.
