Lashes first!

“I love lashes. I feel like I could be completely naked but have lashes, and I'd be fine. Like, I'll forget! Just walk out naked and completely forget,” Ariana confessed to Byrdie. She also expressed her admiration for using extensions.

A Natural Plus

If, like the God is a Woman singer, you want to flaunt mile-long lashes, you can call upon semi-permanent ones. They last up to two months– which are stuck to your real lashes making them look longer, curlier, and thicker. It is recommended that you have them done by a professional. The lashes are stuck on one by one with a latex free, hypoallergenic adhesive. The process takes between 40 minutes to an hour and a half.

Everyone\'s different

If you want amazing lashes like the former Disney star you should know that everyone will have different requirements. You'll have to choose the length, thickness, type of curl, and curve. For example, if you have smaller eyes medium-sized extensions are best, whereas bigger eyes allow for longer lashes. It's best that the extensions are not too much longer or thicker than your real ones. The more natural the better.
