How to Wear Makeup with Eyelash Extensions
Not all of us are blessed with full, long, and gorgeous lashes. In fact, this is what makeup brands like Maybelline are trying to provide by coming up with different formulations of mascara that either gives length or volume to the lashes.
Those who have discovered eyelash extensions swear that it is much better. Once you go to a trusted salon that ensures professional work and uses high-quality materials and you probably won’t go back to mascara ever again! The magic of eyelash extensions is that it cuts down the morning and evening routine of women while simultaneously enhancing your eye look. When done well, it looks very effortless and natural!

You can definitely wear makeup even if you have eyelash extensions. However, it would help if you act a little cautiously while applying makeup if you want to have long-lasting lashes.
How to wear makeup with eyelash extensions?
The eyelash extensions directly link with the eye makeup. So, it would help if you behave extra carefully in that. Here are some do’s and don’ts that you can follow:
1. Avoid oil-based makeup products and makeup remover.
Oil particles are small and affect the glue used to attach the extensions which can easily make them fall off. This means waterproof eye makeup products are not your friend since they usually need oil-based makeup removers to clean off. Micellar water is okay to use with eyelash extensions, but be wary as some formulations contain oil.

Use a cotton swab for a more precise tool to remove eye makeup, as opposed to using cotton pads.
2. Put off using mascara and eyeliner as much as possible.
Using mascara and eyeliner are highly discouraged when you have eyelash extensions since removing them requires rubbing off the eyelashes. This can cause the lashes to fall off prematurely and might affect their alignment. If you choose to apply mascara, it can ruin the glue, and your lashes will clump together. But if you want to apply mascara, then go with one that is primarily made up for this purpose.

You don’t really need them when you have eyelash extensions since it already gives off a thick lash line effect on your eyes. But when you want to pull off a cat-eye look, be sure to use a water-based eyeliner so it is easily removable.
3. Do not use eyelash curlers!
There are a lot of curl choices for eyelash extensions and it is semi-permanent so using eyelash curlers is not necessary. If you want a strong curl for your lashes, we recommend getting the SC curl as your eyelash extensions.

4. Play around with eyeshadow to enhance your eyes!
Since eyeshadows are applied on the lids, it is not much of a hassle to remove them without touching the eyelashes. The only thing to be cautious about when applying eyeshadow when you have eyelash extensions is to avoid powder fallouts as much as possible. You can prevent this by tapping the excess on your brush before applying then slowly build up the pigment to your desired look.
You can also opt for colored eyelash extensions if you want to be creative with your look!
