FAQs

Are 12 mm lashes too dramatic for day-to-day wear?

While 12 mm lashes certainly make a bold statement, they can work for daily wear if that's the look you're going for. Go for a slightly more toned down, wispy application during the day. Then you can add drama for evenings out by stacking additional extensions and clusters.

How long do 12 mm eyelash extensions last?

With proper aftercare, 12 mm eyelash extensions typically last 4-6 weeks. Their larger size makes them a bit heartier than smaller 6-10mm extensions. However, be very gentle when washing your face and removing eye makeup to maximize their longevity.

Can I get 12 mm lashes as a lash newbie?

We recommend trying a more subtle lash look for your first full set. Get used to the extensions, aftercare, and fills process with natural-looking 8-10mm lashes first. Once comfortable, go for the head-turning 12mm set!

What maintenance is required for 12mm lashes?

Expect to get fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain your voluminous look. The larger lashes shed more quickly than shorter lengths. Let your lash artist know right away if you notice gaps, discomfort, or excessive shedding between appointments.
