What do you think of when someone has lash extensions?

Watch any of the college women's basketball games and you'll see plenty of players wearing them and they look great. I'm 60 and keep meaning to try some shorter natural looking ones. Some of my friends have them and they do give them a fresher appearance.

I have a neighbor who had to dress up “full glam” and go to concerts, charity events, and awards dinners for her job 2-3 nights a week. She has lash extensions but they are not gaudy or obnoxious looking.

The people I know who always have manicured nails with almond shaped extensions, lash extensions, laminated and dyed brows, blow out perfect hair, etc. are people whose profession depends on their appearance to some extent. When I see a mom at the PTA meeting or soccer practice in sweats with no makeup - but lashes and nails - I assume she also has a glam job and I think “better her than me!”

Laminated brows, faux lashes, blown out hair, acrylics is a trend that is valued in some circles, but it comes across as Kardashian-esque in others.

I have no idea whether lash extensions are visible or not, OP. But I do know that you only have ONE LIFE, and that it's usually the things you haven't done that you regret not doing!!!

I’m genuinely curious what are these jobs in DC that require a glam look. Sales, news anchor, real housewife, and hairstylist come to mind. Even that is a stretch that acrylics and laminated brows are “required”. What else?

Lash extensions are the Walmart of the face.

I get a half set of individual lash extensions. I get a lot of compliments when i do that - not on my lashes but that im looking nice, clothes etc. Ancillary stuff. I have small eyes and it makes a huge difference.

I probably do it three or four times a year for events. conferences. It lasts about a month for me and is totally worth it

Can someone post a picture of natural looking fake lashes versus not natural. To show the difference. It’s no different than getting your nails done. There’s natural and then there’s over the top. Same with makeup. It’s all how it’s done. Fake lashes that look fake are tacky. False lashes that look natural are nice. If you can afford them. It’s expensive.

+1. Exactly this. It is in the same category as spray tans. Cheap looking.

I think they look trashy. But I would never say this to anyone wearing them.

I think they only look ok on people who don't have much in the way of eyelashes in the first place. And the huge ones that look like caterpillars are awful.

And I speak as someone who has only seen white women in person with fake lashes. My SIL leaned too close to the oven at christmas to pull something out and hers crinkled up right in front of us.
