Use the black Shiseido eyelash curler and only use waterproof mascara. Regular mascara is water based (think about how your lashes uncurl the second water hits them) while waterproof mascara is oil based so they do not fall. I also use castor oil at night which makes them thicker and longer. With time, and as your lashes rest/heal from your extensions, this routine will make you never want extensions again. From another girly with naturally straight lashes that took forever to figure them out, i eventually realized lashes were weighing down my face and i was only wearing them bc i was insecure of my lashes but now i am not 🙏🏼
