If you tend to sleep on your side, you will benefit from a SILK pillowcase. The slippery fabric will not catch on your lash extensions.
Are you a full on face sleeper? You should invest in a contoured eye sleeping mask or a “bubble mask”. These masks have a 3D shape that is lifted off your eyes so you can blink freely inside, they protect, not squish your lashes!
Alternatively, you can sleep with your face in a donut pillow, as if you were getting a massage. Seriously, it works!
Can I Wear Makeup?

Foundation: Must be oil free if you put it anywhere in your orbital area. That’s your eyebrow to your cheek bones. If you choose to wear oil based foundation, you must wash it off every night even if you avoid your eye area.
Under eye concealer: 100% has to be oil free and washed off every night.
Eyeshadow: Powder/pressed eyeshadow is totally fine. Creamy eyeshadow is oil based and should be avoided. You must cleanse your eyelids after using eyeshadow because the particles can build up in your lash line and trap oil and debris.
Eyeliner: Felt tipped marker eyeliner is the best. It glides on easily, stains your skin only where you put it, and doesn’t get on your lashes. Hard pencils are okay. Soft pencils are oil based and should be avoided. Liquid eyeliner can get all over your lashes and be hard to remove.
Mascara: Do not ever ever ever put mascara on your lash extensions! You will cause your remaining extensions to fall out quickly, collapse your volume fans, and create an environment very unfriendly to touch ups because it is so hard to remove from your lashes and may ruin subsequent fills.

Cleanser: Our gentle cleansing foam has an excellent scrubbing bubble action to get in between those lash layers, keeping your natural lashes healthy and your lash extensions looking their best.
Eyelash Growth Serums: There are three types of lash serums, all made for a different purpose. The three different types are:
Serums for Lengthening are prostaglandin based. They work by causing your follicles to swell and grab hold tightly to your natural eyelash, so your lash continues to grow when it otherwise would have fallen out. This type is safe for eyelash extensions so long as it contains no alcohols or oils.
Serums for Thickening are peptide based. They work by drawing more blood flow to your follicle causing each natural eyelash to grow out thicker and healthier. This type is safe for eyelash extensions so long as it contains no alcohols or oils.
Serums for Conditioning contain vitamins and oils to nourish your lashes and prevent breakage. This conditioning type of serum is NOT recommended for use with eyelash extensions.
Serums must be used daily, with results starting to appear after 4-6 weeks, full results in 8-12 weeks. After desired results have been reached, you must continue to use serums every other day or so for maintenance.
