Classic Eyelash Extensions - What Defines the Timeless Look?

Eyelash Extensions

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at December 30th, 2021

Eyelash extensions continue to be a fabulous style choice for people who want to personalize/accentuate their facial features! The classic eyelash extension revolutionized the treatment before other extension styles came along. Classic eyelash extensions are a perfect outlet for people to simplify their routine, save time, and feel confident. If you’ve been interested in trying out classic eyelash extensions for yourself, this blog is for you!

Versatility

Many people love eyelash extensions for the number of choices that come with them. Do you enjoy a natural look, or do you prefer to stand out? Eyelash extensions can be adjusted based on length, shape, thickness, and curl. In other words, they can be as lavish or reserved as you’d like them to be. For this reason, many people enjoy classic extensions to add a bit of stylization to their beauty routine but not be so flashy as to be distracting during casual events or the workday.

Style

As mentioned above, there are endless stylistic choices with eyelash extensions. For example, an extension’s length can be as short as 5 mm, and some extensions can reach up to 15 mm in length for people who want longer lashes. There are even different sub-categories of length, curl, and thickness of eyelash extensions. There’s no right or wrong answer; it all depends on your preferences, the style you’re pursuing, and the amount of care you’re willing to provide. The classic eyelash extension will not need much upkeep and care compared to a more stylized and flashy extension. Classic extensions are popular for their natural and light appearance - there not so much meant for glam photos as they are for well-rounded beauty.

Application

Eyelash extensions are best applied by professional artists that are experienced and well trained. We always say it’s best to leave it to the professionals and avoid regrets later! When professionally applied, eyelash extensions last longer and elevate your look; lash artists know techniques to highlight your strongest facial features. Extensions are carefully placed on one eyelash at a time with an adhesive, giving them a distinctive, natural flair. Most importantly, a professional will safely apply for your extensions without damaging the natural lashes.

Aftercare

Eyelash extensions require very little maintenance once you get used to the process. Even so, it’s important to remember that there is an aftercare routine that will increase their presence and lifespan. Make an appointment with your lash artist monthly and protect your extensions while taking a shower. When it’s time to wash, gently clean your lashes using a lash cleanser and a wide eyeshadow brush; lightly rinse them with water and let them air dry.

Longevity

Eyelash extensions require re-lashes every 2-3 weeks. If no re-lashes are performed, they will pop off on their own, or fall out with your natural lashes. The last one could come off 6-8 weeks after your full set. The classic extension’s natural styling and longevity are perfect for people who are trying out extensions for the first time.
