Why Eyelash Extension Is Getting Popular In Singapore?

One of the popular beauty treatments that nowadays it’s considered a necessity, eyelash extension is something that everyone must get at least once and if you’re reading this I’m sure you need one too. So it’s no surprise that it’s becoming a staple in beauty and especially in Singapore, where getting one is essential and as routine as getting a pedicure, as opposed to treating it like a luxury (even yes, it is!). Here’s why.

Post-pandemic and lockdown aftermath we see everyone getting in touch back with their makeup routine as the precautionary steps from Covid relaxed bit by bit. Apart from getting back to the usual makeup routine, we see specialized beauty treatments at their peak once again and this time we treat them as a necessity.

Sure getting dolled up is a pleasant routine but doing so day in and day out can be a chore especially since not all of us are experts, to begin with. Some days your makeup is on point while other days you might give up or not be in the mood and resort to tinted lip balms and mascara instead. Time is of the essence and considering the rushed mode that most of us live in, it’s just not practical to devote a solid 30 minutes just to makeup.

Hence, semi-permanent makeup is the perfect solution to get beautiful, effortlessly. And in this case, eyelash extensions.

The eyelash extension we’re talking about here is not the plasticky strips but instead, high-quality ones attached to your natural lash line by the esthetician, and the lashes will stay that way for months. Just imagine, waking up to have your lashes already looking perfect and well-groomed so that you don’t have to do anything to them. How much time you can save that way in the long run?

And the upkeep and refills are still manageable compared to the time spent on eye makeup every morning; the lashes can last from three to six weeks (on the longer side if you’re diligent with your lush lashes) and that’s still reasonable enough and certainly a good investment of time. 

And thanks to technology we consider it a good thing too. For Asian women, we have a love-hate relationship with our eyes, hoping they look bigger and more ‘awake’, so much so that creating double eyelids (from cosmetics to surgery) is a common thing to do. In fact, double eyelid surgery is one of the top procedures in Asian countries, notably China and South Korea.

That said, as the technology improves exponentially better alternatives are available, and hence why eyelash extensions offer similar end results with greater peace of mind as it’s less in overall cost and risks compared to surgeries. Plus, being a semi-permanent solution, having eyelash extensions will make your eyes appear ‘awake’, bigger and brighter without committing to it permanently. Not only for anyone with sparse lashes to begin with; you can alter the overall shape of your lashes if the natural is short and/or straight by having beautifully-curled lashes that can make your eyes look bigger and some might say, healthier.

For that, getting eyelash extensions is not a luxury, but simply a necessity.
