The Mascara Effect in Lash Extensions

The mascara effect is a great choice for clients who want an expressive but not overdone gaze. The result looks a lot like freshly coated lashes. What sets it apart from classic extensions is the choice of length, thickness, and placement of accents, so the lashes look like they’ve just been brushed with mascara.
