Choosing Extensions Based on Eye Shape
Almond Eyes
Almond-shaped eyes are by far the easiest to suit when it comes to the selection of styles. Longer lashes toward the outer corners will help beautify them even more when styled in a cat-eye extension. Doll-eye styles apparently flatter this particular shape, giving an enchanting and symmetrical appearance.
Round Eyes
Round eyes are capable of looking very catty when they are extended in lashes with maximum length from the outer corners and into an elongated, almond-like shape. It helps accentuate the naturally beautiful round eyes and gives them a wonderfully sophisticated and well-balanced appearance.
Hooded Eyes
Hooded eyes need some dramatic curls that would lift the lashes off the lid, such as D-curl. Emphasis should be put on extensions that are of equal lengths so that the lashes would actually be seen when opened, thus adding depth and definition to the entire look.
Monolid Eyes
Monolid eyes can benefit from well-curled lashes like C or D-curl. This would further open their eyes up and lift them. At the same time, there will be uniform lengths across the lash line, thereby enhancing the natural beauty and adding definition and elegance.
Downturned Eyes
For downturned eyes, extensions that have longer lengths and curls at the outer corners lend some lifting power.

Deep-Set Eyes

Close-Set Eyes
Close-set eyes look best with extensions focused on length to the outer corners, as this creates the illusion of wider spacing. The ideal cat-eye designs will do just this, balancing the whole face.
Wide-Set Eyes
Extensions that add length and additional volume to the center of the lash line will enhance the appearance of wide-set eyes by drawing attention to their direction to offer a very rich and very balanced look.
Upturned Eyes
Upturned eyes do benefit from a lash style with the length evenly across the lash line. Doll-eye lashes emulation extends their natural upturned angle to weave even more magic rather than just rooting overall aesthetics.
Who Should Avoid Eyelash Extensions
1. Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania, a condition during which the affected engages in hair pulling (including eyelashes), makes it very difficult for anyone to wear extensions. Additionally, the extra weight may exert more pressure on the adhesive and lash tissue which may also slow down or prevent regrowth.
2. Eyelid Dermatitis
Eyelid dermatitis is characterized by inflammation and irritation that may heighten one’s susceptibility to adhesive and put them at risk for allergic reactions or worsening of their condition. A dermatologist should be seen before one of these extensions is considered.
3. Blepharitis
Blepharitis is the term for a disorder where people suffer from a condition in which the eyelids are inflamed, and the inflammation is severe enough that the eyelids start crusting and get very sensitive. Eyelash extensions will worsen the symptoms and prevent all the cleaning routines that must be adhered to in order to manage this condition.
4. Alopecia Areata
An individual with severe hair loss caused by this autoimmune disease cannot have enough natural lashes to support eyelash extensions, as these extensions not only smash the lashes but also lengthen the time of natural hair regrowth.
How to Care for Eyelash Extensions
Avoid Water for 24 Hours
Allow the adhesive to cure completely for at least 24 hours by keeping your lashes dry after application. Water contact during this time can weaken the bond and cause premature shedding of the extensions.
Use Oil-Free Products
Avoid oil-based cleansers, makeup removers, and skin care around your eyes. This is because these oils break the adhesive bond, which leads to early shedding and reduces the lifespan of your delicate extensions.
Gentle Cleansing
Daily lash extension cleaning with gentle lash-friendly cleansers will keep dirt, oils, and debris out while maintaining the adhesive bond to keep your extensions fresh and hygienic.
No Mascara
No more need to use mascara because of these eyelash extensions. The application of mascara can clump the extensions, damage the bond, and make it difficult to remove extensions, which causes early closure of the lash set.
Regular Touch-Ups
Schedule refill appointments every 2-3 weeks for maximum fullness and to replace fallen extensions. There will be that polished and flawless look all the time through regular maintenance.
