Which super look would save the day for you?

Allure Magazine recently posted an article about the unexpected challenge of fitting eyewear for those with extended eyelashes. Really long lashes can have a tendency to hit the lenses of glasses. As a glasses/contact lens wearer myself, it got me thinking that this may be an issue for many batting beauties, so I set out to gather a few tips!

Shopping for NEW Eyeglasses or Sunglasses:

Shop locally and always try on to get the best fit! Look for glasses with rounded, curved shapes. Flat glasses will sit closer into your face while rounded ones allow more space between your lashes and the lenses. It may take numerous attempts to find the perfect shape to keep your lashes free and clear but with a little persistence, you’ll get the payoff with the perfect pair.

For Existing Eyeglasses and Sunglasses:

If you already have your eyeglasses or sunglasses and your lashes are hitting them, an Optician may be able to help you get free and clear. Glasses generally don’t sit straight up and down. They’re tilted (it’s called the pantoscopic tilt) so that the bottom of the frame is closer to the face and the top is a bit farther away. This tilt can be adjusted in many cases. Visit your local optical office and see if your glasses can be fitted to better accommodate your lashes by moving the top a bit further away from your face and the bottom closer in.

Customizing Your Lashes for Lenses:

If you can’t adjust your lenses, try adjusting your lashes! Ask your lash stylist about changing to a more dramatic curl. Curvier lashes sweep up, more than out, and are more likely to miss your lenses and be a hit with you!

Not getting enough rest affects more than just the mind and body. Our face and eyes often reflect our lack of sleep to the outside world. For busy moms, who just never seem to have enough hours in the day to squeeze in rest, an eyelash extension makeover is a quick, long-lasting, pick-me-up.

As a busy mom herself, simplifying the beauty routine for today’s women has been a driving force behind all of the products developed by Xtreme Lashes President and Founder Jo Mousselli:

“I truly believe Xtreme Lashes eyelash extensions make a difference in the lives of the women who wear them – whether it is by giving them more quality time with their families, reducing their stress with their beauty routine or simply increasing their self-confidence.”

Here’s what a few lash loving moms say for themselves about their extension obsession:

“I had an opportunity to try the [Xtreme Lashes] lashes, mascara and eye pencil. They were fabulous! As a busy mom I do not have time to stop and keep applying makeup. I like to find products that stay on and look good and I’m done. I found some! I got a chance to meet Jo Mousselli and her staff and they were fabulous as well! What wonderful products…”
- Leann, Columbus, GA

“I absolutely love my Xtreme Lashes [extensions]!! I have received so many compliments on my eyes. Where were you 10 years ago? I’m a single mom of three kids so time is something that I really don’t have in between taking everyone to school & me working full and part time jobs. I don’t have the time to put make up on. Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
- Robin, Spring Valley, CA

“I’ve been in the beauty industry for 14 years as a makeup artist. I have done makeup for fashion shows, editorials, singers, actor, actresses, and music videos and am a proud owner of an international cosmetic line. After having Alichia Ryan apply Xtreme Lashes for me, I have more time in the morning and I look amazing with or without a full face of makeup. I feel flirty and confident just running to the store, picking up kids or checking my mailbox.”
- Muchion Hughes, Denver, CO

“As a mother of three the time I save on my eyes is amazing. I just love my lashes!!!”

Having fabulous lashes and defined brows adds amazing impact to your eyes, bringing all the attention right where it should be – on you! Eyelash extensions will take your lashes to amazing new lengths but the best way to accentuate that mesmerizing effect is to frame those lashes with perfectly pigmented brows.

Here’s how to create a perfectly polished brow in a snap:

Start with the right color! Your brow color should complement your hair color. The Long Lasting Brow Pen by Xtreme Lashes comes in two shades that work wonderfully alone or can be blended for a custom effect. Light is ideal for blonde, auburn, light brown to medium brown hair. Deep is designed for those with rich brown to black hair. Use both Light and Deep to create a highlighted effect or conceal grays.

step 1: shade – [Always begin with a clean, dry brow, free of skincare or cosmetics!] Following your natural brow shape, apply your brow color in short, light strokes, working from the center of the brow outwards. Complete the inner portion of the brow last, to best gauge how much color is needed.

step 2: blend – Create a smooth, even finish by brushing lightly through the brows with an angled brow brush. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until desired color and coverage is achieved.

step 3: groom – Finish by taming any stray hairs using a styling wand. Allow your brow color to dry or set completely before applying any additional makeup.
