Shapes, colours: what is the choice?
The goal of eyelash extension is to accentuate them. Thus, the chosen extensions are usually black (but there are also coloured eyelashes for a more original effect).
But don’t panic if you have clear eyelashes: there are several types of poses that allow you to obtain a wide range of effects, from the most natural to the very sophisticated!
You can also prefer whether you want to favour length or curvature. Finally, the final result depends on the nature of the eyelashes.
As an extension deposited on each eyelash, the more eyelashes there are, the denser the result will be.
On the other hand, if you have very short eyelashes, an extra-long or too curved extension is not recommended because it would not last long.
