RIP Eyelash Extensions Yes, it's true -- makeup artists agree that 2016 will be the year our lashes get back to basics. (Don't freak out, we'll get through this together.)
"Lash extensions really blew up this year," says celebrity makeup artist Felicia Alva, creator of Flutter Beauty. While adhering six-millimeter strips of mink to your eyelashes used to be reserved for the Beverly Hills contingent, Alva says we have social media to blame for the mainstream explosion of this pricy procedure.
True, long eyelashes are a timeless trend -- but the artificial mile-long look can make your eyes appear smaller or change the shape of your eyes for the worse. "Plus, the adhesive is not healthy for your real lashes," Alva adds. Our experts predict a softer look for 2016. (Hey, sounds like a money saver to us.)
