Preparation & Aftercare


How to prepare for your eyelash extension appointment:

  • Eyelash and area surrounding the eyes needs to be clean and dry and free of makeup and mascara.
  • Remove your contact lenses before the lash extension process for maximum comfort.
  • Your eyes will be closed during the application process.

Aftercare of your eyelash extensions:

  • Take care when showering and exercising in order to allow the adhesive to form the strongest bond possible.
  • Do not use waterproof mascara or eyeliner with your lashes. You may use gel, powdered, or water-based eyeliner.
  • Remove eye makeup carefully using an oil-free makeup remover, cotton swab, or towelette. Avoid all oil-based products near your lashes.
  • Avoid touching your lashes as much as possible because your fingers contain natural oils and bacteria.
