We all want lashes that look amazing, but for active ladies here in Colorado Springs, the real question is: what’s the best option for your lifestyle? We’re a city on the move, whether we’re hitting a Pilates class, hiking the Incline, or just running errands around the monument area.
You’ve probably heard about both lash extensions and lash lifts, you might be wondering which one is the right fit for you. Both are incredible options, but they offer totally different vibes.
So, let’s break it down, so you can decide what’s best for your routine and get back to crushing it, whether you’re cheering on the Air Horse or hanging out near Fort Carson.
Lash Extensions: For the Ready-for-Anything Vibe
What they are: Tiny, individual lashes are applied to each of your natural lashes to add length, volume, and curl.
The vibe: Full, glam, and ready for anything at a moment’s notice.
Why they might be for you:
- Instant Gratification: You’ll wake up every morning with a full set of beautiful lashes. No mascara, no curling, no fuss.
- The “I Woke Up Like This” Look: Perfect for those of us who want to feel polished and put-together 24/7. Heading to a last-minute dinner downtown after a long day? Your lashes are already on point.
- Customizable: We can create a look that’s as natural or as dramatic as you want, whether you’re going for a subtle enhancement or a full-on glam look for a night out.
Keep in mind: They do require refills every 2-3 weeks to maintain that full look. You’ll need to be a little gentle with them, especially right after your appointment, but after that, they hold up great for daily life, even if you’re catching a glimpse of the amazing folks from the Space Force or Army.
Lash Lifts: For the Low-Maintenance Natural Look
What they are: A perm for your natural lashes! It semi-permanently curls your own lashes from the base to the tip. We often pair it with a tint to make them look darker and bolder.
The vibe: Natural, curled, and effortlessly low-maintenance.
Why they might be for you:
- Embrace Your Natural Beauty: If you love your own lashes but just want them to have that “wow” factor, a lift is perfect. It opens up your eyes and makes you look more awake.
- The Ultimate Low-Maintenance Option: Once the service is done, you’re good to go for 6-8 weeks! You can rub your eyes, wear mascara (if you want!), and pretty much forget about them.
- Great for Active Lifestyles: Perfect for those of us who are always on the go. No need to worry about extensions getting wet or a stray lash during an intense workout.
Keep in mind: You’re working with your natural lash length, so if you have super short lashes, a lift might not give you the dramatic look you’re after.
So, Which One is Right for You?
Honestly, there’s no wrong answer! It all comes down to your personal preference and lifestyle.
- Choose Extensions if: You want a ready-made, full-volume look and are willing to commit to fills to maintain it.
- Choose a Lift if: You love a more natural, low-maintenance look and want to enhance what you already have.
No matter which you choose, you’ll feel amazing after your next Pilates class, hitting the trails, or a date night downtown.
