Generally speaking, it is fine to wear eye makeup or use eye products with eyelash extensions; however, there are certain products that should be avoided. Below are some products that are safe to use, and others that may cause poor retention of the lashes:
Products that can be used:
Liquid or Pencil eyeliner
Eyeliners are safe to use with eyelash extensions. However, we recommend using either liquid or pencil eyeliners and not using any waterproof eyeliners, as they might contain oil based substances.
Powder Eyeshadows
If eyeshadows are needed to applied, we recommend using gentle, non creamy eyeshadows to avoid oil and debris buildup near the lash line.
Oil Free Products
Please use oil free cosmetic products when applying makeup near the eye area while wearing eyelash extensions.
Lash Shampoo
Using lash shampoo to clean your lashes frequently is recommended. It can improve retention of the lashes by removing oil and debris.
Product that needed to avoid:
Mascara
We do not recommend wearing mascara, as it is very difficult to remove from the extensions and might potentially cause lashes to clump together.
Cream or Gel Eyeshadows
Cream or gel based eyeshadows often contain oil or heavy emollients, which can potentially transfer to the lashes and affect the adhesive bond.
Cotton Q tip or Cotton Pads
Products that contain cotton are generally not recommended, as the fibers may tangle in the lashes and be extremely difficult to remove.
Oil Based Product
Oil-based products can weaken the adhesive bond and potentially cause poor lash retention.
We offer a wide range of eyelash extensions, ranging from 7mm to 18mm in length and 0.05mm to 0.15mm in thickness. We also offer J, B, C, D, and D+ curls to tailor to all our customers' needs.
Length
Shorter lengths tend to provide a more natural look, while longer lashes create a more noticeable or dramatic effect. Different lash lengths are applied to different sections based on the desired lash shape.
Thickness
Thinner lashes are used to create lash fans for a fuller look with our Mixed Set, Volume Set and Enhanced Volume Set. Thicker lashes are used for our Natural Set with individual 1 to 1 lash application.
Curl
We offer a wide range of curls, allowing us to fully tailor to each customer's needs, from the J Curl, which provides the most natural look, to the D+ Curl, our most dramatic option for a more noticeable result.

We generally recommend clients visit us for a refill every 2–3 weeks. Clients who prefer to maintain a very full look at all times may choose to come in a bit sooner, while those who do not mind a few gaps can extend beyond the recommended period. During refill services, as our lashes will naturally grow longer over time and shed, we remove overgrown lashes and replace them along with any that have already shed. However, how frequent the lashes needed to be refilled may vary depending on several factors, such as the client’s natural lash shedding cycle, environmental or seasonal changes, and how well the lashes are cared for.
