You can showcase any of your styles from soft glam to Smokey eye after the timeframe is over. Just keep one thing in mind that you use a quality product to take care of your eyelashes.

Things to keep in mind while applying eyeshadow
After getting a green card for the application of eyeshadow doesn’t mean that you can use any product on your eye.
You have to keep few things in mind:
- Quality of the product
- Application
- Removal
Quality of the product
We always care about the quality of our daily product but when it comes to extensions, we should keep more checks on the quality of the product.
A bad quality product will lessen the essence of lashes.
Also, do not use any eyeshadow or makeup that is oil-based.
Oil-based products are not a very good choice when you have extensions.
Application of eyeshadow
You need to be very careful when it comes to the application of eyeshadow.
Make sure the product you’ve chosen doesn’t have a lot of‘ fallout’ during the application.
Use the brush very lightly to prevent it. using primer can avoid the eyeshadow to fall out.
Apply eyeshadow a little above the lash line to reduce the damage to the extensions.
During the time of application pay attention to your hands and finger, it should not rest upon your eyelash.
Removal of eyeshadow
The most important thing is the safe removal of your makeup from your eyelid.
If you want your eyelashes to stay longer and healthy, make sure you clean your makeup before going to bed.
Look for any particles on your extension and clean it thoroughly.
Can you wash your eyes with eyelash extensions on?
Yes, you can wash your eyes with eyelash extensions on but with specialized products specially made for extensions.
You should seek help from a professional regarding the best cleanser for your extensions.
If you do not have any special product then avoid your eyes area while washing your face.

Products you must avoid when lashing extensions on
Falsies or fake lashes
Falsies or fake lashes are not advisable to wear with lash extensions because of tons of drawbacks. It can damage both your natural eyelashes and your extensions.
False lashes are heavy which bends your extensions and damages them. the glue used in the application of falsies is so strong that it may end up pulling your eyelashes.
Fake lashes are strictly not allowed when it comes to extensions.
Mascara
There is no need to wear mascara with extensions on!
The whole point of extensions is to make your eye look fuller and longer. Wearing mascara with extensions is just a waste of product and the money you’ve put on extensions.
Also, mascara doesn’t come off well. You need to rub it several times to get it off. In that process, you may end up damaging your extensions.
How to take care of extensions?
Keep your eyelashes clean
The first thing to take care of your extension is to keep your lash clean. Use a lash cleanser to clean your eyelashes daily.
Plenty of lash cleansers are available in the market which you can buy. The cleanser should be of good quality. You can also seek professional advice before buying a product.
Always go for a product that is oil-free and paraben-free for a healthy lash.
Avoid lash friction
Keep your hands away from your lash. Rubbing, itching, pulling, etc can cause your lashes to fall out.
When cleaning make sure you do it gently to avoid friction.
Get your lash extensions refills from time to time
Everything mentioned above is important but this one is very important. To maintain your fuller and healthy lashes you should fix your appointment after every 2 weeks.
Longer gaps between the sessions will create gaps in your lashes as the natural lashes fall. You should get it done before this happens as it can make your eyes look ugly.
