Three years ago my boyfriend's mom got her license for doing eyelash extensions and my life has never been the same since. Besides the ease of looking like I took 30 minutes to get ready (when I only took five minutes), there are so many reasons why eyelash extensions will change your life.

1. No makeup no problems

When it comes to eyelash extensions, the rule of thumb is to avoid makeup, especially makeup around the eyes. The oils from makeup and makeup remover can break down the glue holding your lashes in place which will prevent your lashes from staying fab for weeks.

2. You can sleep in a few extra minutes

Thanks to the lack of makeup needed when you have eyelash extensions, you can cut down on your morning routine. I have shaved at least 20 minutes off of my morning routine, which means more sleep in the morning.

3. Bye, bye eyeliner!

My very first set of eyelash extensions, three years ago!

I'm terrible at doing my makeup. I can't draw a winged eyeliner or even line my eye with any type of finesse. I also have no idea where my crease is so see you later smokey eye! Eyelash extensions enhance the eye in a way that makes them look bold without needing to add any other type of makeup to your eye.

4. Compliments galore

EVERYONE will notice your eyelashes once you get extensions. The amount of compliments I get on a daily basis is unreal. Eyelash extensions will definitely boost your confidence!

Yes, yes, I know right now you're thinking: "Eyelash extensions are SO expensive!" and you're right! They cost a pretty penny BUT if you are scouring Groupon or if you follow salons on Instagram, you can easily catch some awesome deals.
