In the world of eyelash extensions, the options are plenty. It can be hard to decide which ones will best suit you and which ones are of better quality. Not all eyelash extensions are created equal. There are many different types and styles to choose from, ranging from materials to thickness, to how curly or straight the extensions are.
First, we will look at the different materials that eyelash extensions can be made from. The most well-known and expensive is the Mink Eyelash Extension. This option is popular in the celebrity world. It is the most natural looking and feeling because it is made from real hair. The Mink Eyelash Extension is a good option for long wear as it is very light weight and can be used in many different ways. Because it is so light weight it can be used in the ‘Classic set’ or ‘Volume set’ of eyelash extensions without causing damage to the natural lash. The downside of the Mink Eyelash Extensions are people that are allergic to animal hair. They are best to opt for the synthetic lashes.
The next Eyelash Extension option is Faux Mink. This is a very good option for everyone as it looks and feels just like the real thing but has a lower price point. With a good quality, Faux Mink Eyelash Extension is almost impossible to tell that it is, in fact, a synthetic. It is still very light weight, feathery, and soft. The one major upside to choosing the Faux Mink Eyelash Extension is that it will hold its curl when wet, where the real Mink will lose its curl when wet. Also, for the people that are concerned with the allergy factor of the real Mink, this option is definitely the way to go.
Silk is another very popular option in the Eyelash Extension world. The Silk Eyelash Extensions tend to be more dramatic than their fur and fur-like competitors. They tend to be thicker in texture as well as shiny and glossy looking. The Silk Eyelash Extensions range in thickness and curl. One can choose very natural looking to very dramatic extensions. The benefit of the Silk Eyelash Extension is that they are very low maintenance. You can swim, shower, work out, and sleep without worrying that they will lose their shape and curl.
Last but, certainly not least is the Synthetic Eyelash Extension. This option is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for a bold, in your face Eyelash Extension then these are for you. The Synthetic Eyelash Extension is usually made from acrylics and tends to be shinier, thick, and “fake looking.” These extensions are great for a night out on the town, big events that you want the bold look, photo shoots where you want your eyes to pop, or just for people who tend to wear a lot of mascara. If you want the most dramatic effect that Eyelash Extensions can give, these would be at the top of the list.
