Adding a Splash: Coloured Lash Extensions That’ll Have You Looking Next Level
Right, let's talk about something a little different than your typical jet-black lash extensions: colour, hun. Coloured lash extensions aren't only for festivals or special occasions; depending on how you use them, they may be subtle, fun, or completely dramatic. And, let's be honest, sometimes black lashes alone aren't enough to stand out from the crowd.
So take a drink and let's talk about why coloured lash extensions may be the glow-up you didn't realise you needed.
1. Why Bother With Colour?
That's a good question, right? For example, lashes are intended to highlight your eyes; why add colour? Well, here's the thing: coloured lash extensions may offer you a unique look without relying much on makeup or liner. It's low-maintenance glamour.
- Subtle Look – Add a hint of brown, navy, or burgundy if you want something that blends but still makes people go, “Wait… something’s different about you.”
- Statement Look - Neon pinks, purples, greens – that’s your “I’m here to party, deal with it” vibe.
Essentially, you can go soft or aggressive, and both look great in the proper situation.
2. Pick the Right Colour for Your Eyes
Here's when things become interesting. The colour of your lashes may enhance your natural eye colour in ways that mascara cannot.
- Blue Eyes – Browns, bronzes, and even warmer purples are your ideal companions. They will make your blues appear chilly and stunning.
- Green Eyes – Reddish tones, such as burgundy or auburn, represent the chef's kiss. The green comes through strongly.
- Brown Eyes – You lucky lot; virtually any hue looks bad on you. Choose from gold, copper, or electric blue.
- Hazel Eyes – A bit of a mix here, but rich purples and emerald tones really highlight your multi-shade wizardry.
Think of it like colour-matching clothes, but for your face.
3. Full Colour vs Just a Pop
Not everyone wants a complete set of neon lashes (but if that's your thing, go for it). You have options:
- Full Set – Each lash extension is coloured. Properly bold and certainly worth a look.
- Accent Lashes – A few colourful ones mixed in with black for a peekaboo effect. Subtle at first, but as the light hits, colour appears.
- Ombre Lashes – The tips are coloured, while the base is black. Gives you the best of both worlds: depth and drama without being overpowering.
Perfect for testing the waters without appearing like a unicorn popped in your face.
4. When to Rock ‘Em
Don't get it twisted; you don't need a reason to wear coloured lashes. But there are occasions when things just make sense.
Nights Out – Under club lights, coloured lashes are next-level peng.
Festivals – Obvs. Glitter, neon, coloured lashes – the full works.
Day-to-Day – Softer tones, such as browns, navy, and auburn, are ideal for business or informal wear. They offer dimension without shouting, "I'm off to a rave."
So, you don’t have to save ‘em for big events. Play around and see what feels right.
5. Keeping ‘Em Fresh
Coloured extensions require the same level of care as black extensions, if not more. Oil-free cleansers, gentle brushing with a spoolie, and, for the love of lashes, don't yank them when you're exhausted from a night out. They will stay longer and keep the colour appearing fresh rather than faded.
At the end of the day, coloured lash extensions are just for fun - a chance to liven things up without having to wear outrageous makeup every day. Whether you want something cheeky and subtle or full-on "look at me," there's a hue and style for you. And honestly? Life is too short to have boring lashes.
So go ahead and indulge yourself to a flash of colour; when your lashes are on point, you feel invincible.
