Learn how to provide long, luscious eyelash extensions. Leslie Graham, an award-winning professional make-up artist, shows you how with step-by-step instructions and extreme close-ups.
Natural looking and requiring minimal care, extensions are a highly profitable service and growing in popularity. Eyelash extensions are individual strands that are bonded to natural lashes, lash by lash, to lengthen and thicken. Results range from subtle enhancement to dramatic flair, creating immediate and long-lasting lift and definition to the eyes. Extensions can last 3 to 6 weeks, following the lashes' natural cycle, and are easily touched up, so clients can maintain their enhanced lashes indefinitely. Many products are available to offer clients: synthetic, mink, faux mink, human hair, and silk. Colored lashes accent a client's eye colour, and crystals can be added for extra glamour. Eyelash extension application is an art that requires training, patience, and lots of practice. In this volume, Leslie Graham, a certified eyelash extension trainer, demonstrates how to provide three different looks: - A dramatic look with "C" extensions with synthetic lashes
