Can You Wear Mascara On Your Eyelash Extensions?

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Monday, June 17, 2024

According to Beauty Stack, whether you can wear mascara with eyelash extensions depends on the type of extensions you have. If you have classic eyelash extensions, it is normally safe to wear mascara with them. However, if you have volume or hybrid lashes, it's not usually advisable to wear mascara. This is because mascara can actually damage the extensions. That would counteract the investment of them and likely lead to needing another set sooner.

Divine Lashes explains that while it's fine to wear mascara on classic lash extensions, it's a good idea to avoid waterproof mascara as this can be difficult to remove and can cause damage as you try to get it off. When choosing a mascara formula to apply to your newly installed set, it's usually best to opt for a water-based solution. Beauty Stack recommends avoiding oil-based mascara formulas, too. These can also damage the extensions; when oils come into contact with the adhesives used to apply extensions they can break the bond with natural lashes.
