OK! head of beauty Zoe has stuck to her New Year's resolution of ditching salon eyelash extensions. Here, she explains how underlash kits have saved her £400 in 5 months
I'll admit it, I'm a lash addict. I know there's a whole movement away from falsies at the moment – stick-on and salon ones – but I just prefer my look when I have a bit of definition around my eyes. Being a natural blonde, I have barely-there lashes that only look decent when I apply around four coats of mascara. But, with flaking, smudging and having to apply it every morning, I prefer something a little more permanent when it comes to lashes.
Switching to underlashes Back in January, I decided to make it a New Year's resolution to ditch salon lashes for good to free up some spare time and cash. It sounded so doable but as the last of my individual lashes fell out, I was left with my own barely-there ones that made me feel, well, almost naked. I gave mascara a good go for a few weeks, but I just missed the constant volume and definition that falsies give.
To make lashes last, you ideally want to use a good long-wear bonding blue, a setting solution and a special pair of long-tip tweezers . You also want to make sure your natural lashes are clean of all oils and debris before you apply any of the adhesives, and when you're sticking the clusters on, make sure it's on the bottom of your lashes and not on the skin of your eyelid, as this can make them fall off.
