Perfect your Lash Application Technique with these Tips

When lash extensions don't fit your budget and mascara just doesn't cut it, look to false lashes to give your eyes that pop they so deserve. Whether you are looking to enhance your natural lashes with some length and volume or go totally glam, KISS​, the number one lash brand,​ has it all. 

Perfect your application technique with these tips.

• Measure the lashes on your lash line and trim, if needed
• Squeeze glue onto the lash tray 
• Using tweezers or fingers, dip lashes into glue and allow to dry for a few seconds
• Looking down with head tilted back, apply lashes starting at the outer corners moving towards the inner corner, pressing down as you place the lashes onto your natural lash line
• As you get closer to the inner corners, look directly into the mirror
• Use the back of a tweezer or a Q-tip to apply light pressure to secure into place

Celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta recommends curling natural lashes and applying mascara before applying falsies. "This method delivers the most natural look and allows you to reuse the falsies multiple times."

Lash Talk with Shaunell Robinson

On August 6th I had the pleasure of sitting down with Master Eyelash Specialist Shaunell Robinson at the beautiful Snob Life Studios. Shaunell Robinson is the founder of Conceited, Inc., a brand that consists of designer shoes, virgin hair, and eyelash extensions. Shaunell recently launched her 2013 summer shoes at an event at TAGS Boutique, and her lash extension business has skyrocketed, as she offers the best lash extension services in Atlanta. She began offering training classes to aspiring lash extension specialists, has developed her own line of Conceited, Inc lash products, and will be traveling to major cities throughout the US this fall on a lash training tour.

I know you are asking what are Eyelash Extensions? Eyelash Extensions add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes, They are applied with lash glue designed specifically for temporary lashes.Generally, a single lash is applied to each natural lash; when applied properly, neither the extension lash nor the glue should touch the eyelid. The bond is designed to last until the lashes naturally fall out.
