    Mink eyelash extensions

    Since posting this message, we have begun using thinner diameters of an amazing silk lash instead of the Siberian Mink. We searched these out because of the ethical debate on the minks and because we couldn't seem to get information that we were satisfied with as to the source of these lashes...

    Brown eyelash extensions black glue?

    If you are using a thin glue, the black should not be noticeable. It will only give a bit of a darker look at the eyeline, which is perfectly acceptable.

    Eyelash Emporium glue reaction

    There are a few things you can do. First of all, it is important to find a low fume glue. (PM me if you would like information on a really good one.) One thing that would cut the fumes is if you put your glue stone on a wet sponge. The moisture would cut the fumes. Also if you can have...

    Eyelash Emporium glue reaction

    It can also be an eye infection. Lots of times people don't clean their lash line when they have extensions because they fear losing extensions from washing them. What they don't realize is that the lashes you put on them is like a little shelf that holds all the dead skin cells, left over...

    Eyelash Emporium glue reaction

    Hi Carli, It is quite common for people to react to the Cyanoacrylate glues. Sometimes it happens after they have had lashes for a really long time, sometimes it happens sooner. There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent it from happening. First of all, find a good low fume...

    Shellac - lifted within 7 hours!

    It depends on how much she gets her fingers into the acetone. If she is dipping into it to clean up her glue stone it could have an effect. I am in my acetone with my shellac and do not have lifting, but I am super cautious not to linger.

    How to separate eyelashes when doing extensions besides using tweezers?

    This is intended to give you information, not criticize: I am a trainer in Canada, and Health Canada regulations state that all eyelash glue is supposed to be used on the clients with their eyes closed. One of the reasons is because exposure to the fumes (whether you can feel them or not)...

    Eyelash extension help, swollen right eye!

    The product is called SteriLid, and it is made by Thera Tears. If you are looking locally, try drug stores or Pharmacies. It should be in the section that sells products for people who wear contact lenses. Otherwise check out Amazon.

    Eyelash extension help, swollen right eye!

    There are a few things you can try. Therasterilid is a foaming wash to clear all bacteria, makeup, lash mites, etc. This helps in cases where it is not a glue allergy. An Optometrist can tell you if you have an eye infection, and if so, they can prescribe meds to clear it up. The glue...

    Religion - is yours important? Do you have an opinion?

    Actually Lise, I have to say I am really impressed with this thread, as I see everyone sharing, and no one yet has gotten so passionate that they have lashed out at anyone. It is amazing seeing everyone share on a thread with such a hot topic, and yet there is a real level of respect for each...

    Religion - is yours important? Do you have an opinion?

    It might possibly be that the reason you have such polar opposite views on the same topic is because they really are very different from each other. A persons christianity should be a way of life, and about that person. Not something to beat up on another person with, but something that...

    Reaction to sensitive lash glue

    While this could be a reaction to the glue, there are a couple things you can try when someone reacts like this. The first thing I suggest my client does, is go to the optometrist and check if they have an eye infection. The symptoms are the same; when the glue is applied, it leaves raw...

    Show us your lashes!

    They are pretty good for a first set. You will find yourself working the end of the extension closer to the eyelid as you get more experienced. You will also find your speed increasing and you will get more on. Be gentle with yourself.... you are at the beginning of a beautiful career, and...

    Totally Agree ... Many atrocities have been committed in the name of Christianity

    Religion - is yours important? Do you have an opinion?

    I totally agree that religion and faith (relationship) are two totally separate things. The relationship I have with God is the most important part of my life. I do not live by a set of do's and don'ts. The more I become aware of God's love for me, the more I want to love those around me. So...

    Advice on eyelash extensions

    Whether you work on one eye first, or both at the same time, you need a glue that dries fast enough that you could lash one eye at a time. Nothing will cure the 'stickies' like a good 2 second glue. I am a trainer, and we always train our students with a 2 second glue. We believe more...

    Newbie to eyelash extensions , need help ASAP please x

    Instead of dipping the extension into the glue bubble, just come at the glue bubble with the lash at a horizontal angle. Lower the base of the eyelash extension, and let the glue bubble almost rise up to meet the extension as you approach it. This will get enough glue on the back side of the...
