Lash extensions enhance your eyes, giving you a fuller, more defined look that lasts for several weeks. But what makeup can you wear with lash extensions? 

We often tell clients to avoid using heavy, oily, or water-resistant products on or near your lash extensions. These types of products break down the adhesive bond, causing your extensions to fall out more quickly. Instead, look for lightweight, oil-free, and water-based products that won't damage your lashes.

Keep reading for our guide on what eye makeup you can wear to complete the look of your lash extensions: 

Eye shadow: When it comes to eyelash extensions and eye makeup, eyeshadow is the popular choice. Opt for light, natural shades when it comes to eyeshadow on eyelash extensions. These won't weigh down your lashes, and avoid using anything with glitter or sparkles, as these can get caught in your extensions. If you prefer a more dramatic look, try using a soft, smoky eye to add definition to your eyes without overwhelming your lashes.
