The Prescription For Beautiful Lashes From The Lash Dr.

by, Lora Condon, The Lash Dr.
There are two things in life women think can never be too big. Dirty minds behave; I’m talking about lashes and diamonds! While diamonds are beautiful, lashes are sexy. Big diamonds say, “Look at me, I’m big and flashy.” Lashes say, “You know you want me, I’m subtle and sexy.” I’ve always been obsessed with eyelashes and when I got the opportunity to become a lash extension stylist, I didn’t bat an eye, “lash”.

The past few years I have seen so many women come to me with horrific, damaged lashes from people applying them with no training, no license and no clue! It has become my passion to spread the word about how to get the most professional and safe eyelash extension application. I’ll go over the most common questions and teach you what to look for in the stylist applying your extensions.

What exactly are eyelash extensions and are they permanent or the same as drug store lashes?
Eyelash extensions are curled, single synthetic strands that look like real eyelashes. They do not have the bulb like end or strip that traditional false lashes have. Lashes you apply from the drug store will last one day. Lash extensions will last a few weeks and fall out when your natural lash falls out. Natural lashes fall out approximately every four weeks so touch-ups are needed every 2-4 weeks to keep your lashes looking full.

How are they applied?

Each lash extension is glued approximately 1 mm from the base of your natural lash. The extension never touches your skin, which is why people with sensitive eyes usually don’t have a reaction to lash extensions. The glue used is the same glue that is used for sutureless wounds and the reason the lashes last so long. You must have an existing lash for the extension to be applied.

Our friends from Women’s Mafia  partied with us at the ‘For The Love of Marc’ event we had last month at The Gates, and now they’ve added it to their site!  

“We had sooo much fun with Daniel, Rebecca and the rest of the Fashion Indie editors and fashion cognoscenti that we are going to co-host the next one! Check out our event pics below and get psyched for: For The Love Of Kate… As in Kate Moss.”

In case you missed the party, we gave people Marc Jacobs makeovers from the latest runway shows, had Marc-inspired music, and signature Marc-tinis.  Don’t miss ‘For The Love of Kate’ this month, come out and party with Fashion Indie and Women’s Mafia!

Check out more photos, and their full event coverage on Women’s Mafia!

What started out as an idea to cover the story for the Women’s Mafia ended up as a fun-filled adventure through Chelsea’s Metropolitan Pavilion for the “Sextras” casting call. Dressed up in cute dresses and high heels, we took off for the event, which garnered lots of press coverage for the past few days, and waited in line for two hours with fashionistas from all over the tri-state area. SAG and non-SAG hopefuls waited in the heat, with powder puffs and lip gloss in hand, for the chance to make their way around the block to spend all of ten seconds in front of a table for a quick headshot.

We were smart and decided to arrive early. Not too early mind you, but early enough to skip the afternoon not that long and moved quickly. It stretched from the middle of 18th Street and Sixth Avenue around the block to the middle of 19th Street between Sixth and Seventh. Admittedly, crowd scanning was fun. People were either really dressed up or wearing ripped shorts and Birkenstocks.

The route was covered with photogs and press taking pictures and interviewing folks everywhere. This was definitely a marketer’s dream gathering and people could be seen all over the line handing out business cards and fliers. I think one of my favorite sightings was a cameraman on the ground filming shoes as they walked by.

Once we made it inside the Metropolitan Pavilion, the cattle pull began. Thousands made their way through crowds waiting to get through a small opening to yet another room to wait on another line. Thankfully it was a little cooler inside and by the time we made it through to have our picture taken, most of us were not suffering from the heat anymore. “Leave the building after your picture is taken!” we were told. And we did.

Overall it was a lot of fun and fingers-crossed one of the mafiosas will get a callback!

Loved their coverage and thought this video from New York Magazine was genius. Love that dude…
