My Post Eyelash Extension Eye Makeup Routine
After months and months with my beloved eyelash extensions, it was time to part ways! Nothing like the rising costs of everything to make you re-evaluate your monthly spending habits, am I right?
Most anyone who has had eyelash extensions for a period of time will tell you - eyelash extensions will make you lazy with your eye makeup routine! Which is kind of the point, right? The luxury of waking up and already looking somewhat put together. The caveat is that when you decide to stop the bi-weekly fills, you’re left with the eyelashes of a newborn and a drawer full of expired mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadows!
“Oh no, now I have to buy new makeup,” - said no one ever. 😉
First things first: we need to get these lashes back to a respectable length. For that, I rely on the one and only REVITALASH Eyelash conditioner! Whether you’re post eyelash extensions or just yearning for longer, fuller lashes, Revitalash will get you there. Just one swipe across each lash line every night delivers noticeable results in just 4-6 weeks.
Interested? For a limited time and while supplies last, a six-month supply of Revitalash Eyelash Conditioner now comes with a FREE, FULL-SIZE Revitalash Double-Ended Volume Set Mascara! I love (love, love) this primer + mascara duo for adding dramatic length and volume to natural lashes.
Before we move on from eyelashes, let’s take a moment to talk about how you should absolutely be using an eyelash curler. Hear me when I tell you that it makes the difference in achieving an eye-opening effect (a total game-changer for those with small or hooded eyes)! The Surratt Relevee Lash Curler totes an ergonomic design that lifts and fans lashes sans breakage or pinching.
You may notice that after extensions (and while you’re waiting for Revitalash Lash Conditioner to work its magic) that mascara alone just isn’t cutting it! Even after a couple of coats, I felt as though my eyes were just looking terribly bare without the full-volume extensions I had grown accustomed to. The best way to combat this perceived problem? Eyeliner!
Let me start by saying that, in theory, I’d love to be the gal who wakes up extra early every morning to pair a cut crease with a cat eye. My reality is that most mornings, I’m hitting the snooze button like I’m trying to hit the jackpot on a slot machine. For mornings such as these, I turn to the Smoky Eye Baton from Surratt. The duel-sided baton contains both a creamy eyeliner and a corresponding eyeshadow! I start by swiping the liner above my lash line and follow with the shadow-coated smudger to blend it out. It’s absolutely effortless! With so many color options to choose from, the Smoky Eye Baton will always be a staple in my makeup bag.
Shades (from left to right): Fumee Noir, Etincelle, Cendres, Canons De Beaute, Nuit D’Orage, Vapeur Mauve, Fumee Brun.
