Eyelash Extensions – What you should know

Eyelash Extensions – What you should know: With the popularity of Eyelash Extensions growing globally, several news types of eyelashes are popping up. But what’s the difference? Although any of the extensions will give you constant compliments, there are some vital differences between these popular Eyelash Extensions that you should be aware of.

Differences Between Mink and Silk Eyelash Extensions

The main difference between the types of Eyelash Extensions comes down to their firmness, are they real fur, faux fur or synthetic.

Synthetic or Silk lashes are the heaviest, great for a really full thick look, often rated at 0.20mm in thickness.

Mink or Faux Mink are usually thinner and softer than Silk rated at 0.15mm-0.2mm in thickness, but can also come thicker as well.

I usually use Mink, and I consult my clients to figure out the thickness that will work with their expectations. Real Fur won’t hold a curl as well as Faux Fur.

Mink Extensions

Mink Lashes are the new craze. If you’re going for that 100% natural look, this is the best you can get. Most people love Mink because they look so natural and give them full, fluffy Eyelashes Extensions. Real Mink lashes come from the Mink tail, either the Siberian Mink or the Chinese Mink. The Siberian Mink are the better of the two. There is also the Faux Mink, they are more affordable, come very close to holding all the same characteristics except if you get them wet, they won’t lose their curl which is a huge advantage over real Mink.

Characteristics

Mink lashes are known to be very light and soft, making them a more comfortable choice over silk lashes. They also have a gloss or shin to them and have a more natural fluffy look. They often come with a perm and will last a little longer than silk.

Wearability

You should choose Mink Eyelash Extensions if you want the extensions that you’ll be wearing for a long period of time. In other words, you plan on keeping them and continually retouched.

The minks are also great if your own natural lashes are thinner, because the mink lashes are very light and soft.

If you want a more natural looking lash which you can apply mascara to enhance, then Mink should be your first choice.

Note: You should only use mascara designed for extensions.

Cost

Now this is the scary part. An initial set of Real Mink lashes will be a bit pricey.

I charge all first-time clients up with an initial set of Mink lashes for only £50 half set and £90 full set ( I often offer discounted prices monthly). Subscribe to receive the offers CLICK HERE.

Silk Eyelash Extensions

When someone says Synthetic Lashes they are referring to either Silk or Acrylic.

Synthetic Silk being the more popular of the two for the lighter feel. Not as light as Mink, but they are more comfortable than Acrylic and can be used for everyday use.

Characteristics

Synthetic Silk Eyelashes are great for short term wear or special occasions since they are thicker, full and have a uniformed perfect curve to them.

Since they already hold such a dark pigment, there is no reason for mascara.

They are usually much thicker than Mink lashes rated at 0.20mm.

Wearability

Choose Synthetic Silk eyelash extension for those special occasions. A wedding, a photo-shoot or a part in a film. You can use them as everyday lashes as well but they won’t be as light and comfortable as the Mink lashes.
