I am a little nervous about having someone so close to my eyes with tweezers and glue and...
But I hope the result is worth it.
Hi, my name is Carly, and today I am getting bottom eyelash extensions.
I really like my eyelashes.
They have a nice curl to them, but they are pretty light.
I did once try lash lift, and it didn't really pan out the way I had hoped.
Dropped a lot of money for it to look at the exact same.
Applying false lashes, I love the look, but it is very tedious and you have to really
get it right with the tackiness of the glue and making sure your hand is steady.
I have never gotten eyelash extensions before, and I figure if I'm going to try it out, might
as well go all the way and also get bottom lashes.
I never really heard that that was a thing up until a few weeks ago.
But I'm excited because I just feel like it's going
to enhance the entire look.
I'm not wearing bottom lashes right now, but when I do get them, I completely love them.
I feel like a black Barbie.
Hello, my name is Clementina Richardson.
I'm the owner and founder of Envious Lashes.
I'm a licensed esthetician, and we're
located in New York City and also Commack, Long Island.
I've been in the lash industry since 2007.
I'm completely obsessed with it.
I love customization.
It's not a one size fit all.
I've seen a lot of different eyelash extensions.
Some look really great and natural, and others
it's very obvious that they have extensions.
And I kind of want to lean towards the very natural, seamless look.
Hi, Carly. Take a seat here.
It may be a small thing, but this is definitely gonna change my life.
So what sort of look are you going for today?
I really want to have bright, wide eyes.
You know, I look really tired without mascara.
And so I wanna just look very awake.
I also want a natural look, and I feel like bottom
lashes will help that as well.
I think that would be perfect for you, considering your eyes are smaller over here.
Mhm.
Turn sideways for me here.
Okay, your natural lashes has a nice
lift to them, so we're gonna give you a nice soft curl.
I find your bottom lashes to be
super fine, so we don't want to create too much weight on them.
We're gonna go for a shorter lash.
You're definitely gonna see them.
They're gonna be very visible, and they're
gonna complement the top.
Amazing.
Good? Great.
Let's do it.
First, we'll do a top lash application, and then we'll do the bottoms.
First, I use a medical grade tape, and I pull the top lashes out of the way.
This gives me visibility so I can see the application while I'm applying the bottom lashes.
Then I cleanse the bottom lashes.
Then I go ahead and prime the bottom lashes.
And then I select what type of lashes I'm
gonna use on her based on length.
Next, I use a tweezer to pick up a strand of lash.
I hold the lash, and I place the base of the lash into the clear adhesive.
Then I attach the actual extension to the natural lash.
For the bottom lashes, this is done anywhere from 30 to 40 times per eye from the outer
end going all the way inner.
We've been doing bottom lashes here at Envious Lashes for about five years.
People are just not aware of them, but once they found out about them, they are
just all for it.
The result gives a look a more finished look, and it complements the
top, making the eyes appear more wide and open.
I definitely would recommend bottom lashes to anyone that's looking for a more finished look.
However, it's definitely more high maintenance.
To maintain the lashes, what we tell our clients
to do is not to get them wet for the first 24 to 48 hours would be best.
When you're washing your face, be really careful.
Wash around the eye area.
You don't wanna do any
rubbing back and forth.
Then that's it.
You got yourself a bottom lash application.
So, Carly, we're all done. Do you feel comfortable?
Yeah.
Everything's good, no stinging, irritation?
No stinging.
Awesome.
I'm ready to see it.
Okay, so take a look.
Oh my god.
The bottom lashes! They're beautiful.
It kind of looks like I'm wearing eyeliner,
but in a very subtle way.
Oh, they're so pretty.
My lashes don't even look this good with mascara on.
I'm addicted.
Awesome.
I'm going to be coming back for sure.
They're so beautiful.
When I first saw my lashes, I was shocked.
The top look incredible, but the bottom.
I didn't know what to expect with
bottom lashes, but I am so pleased.
I thought that I would be able to feel them on my natural
lashes, but it feels so seamless, even the bottom ones.
It doesn't feel like I have anything on.
When I first saw Carly with the bottom lashes on, I was like, yes, it's exactly the look
we were going for.
Her eyes were more open.
It was finished.
She looked awake.
And I'm so happy she was extremely happy with the results that we chose.
Clementina is incredible.
There is a reason why people go to her.
She walked me through
every single step.
I really wanted a natural look, and she listened to me and she gave
me advice on what would look best.
I would definitely go back her.
Going through this
treatment, I definitely feel more confident without mascara.
I look really tired, and
with this, my eyes are wide open.
I am ready to take on the day.
