Q. What are eye lash extensions?
A. Eye lash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic fibers used to create volume and extend the length of your natural eyelash. One single extension is placed on one natural eyelash. The result is that you won’t believe your eyes! You will have instant volume along with long eyelashes and a tailored, weightless look. Best of all, our lashes have been specially designed to look completely natural. No one will suspect that they’re not yours! Hollywood’s best kept secret and now it can be yours.

Q. Do you provide Volume Lashes?
A. No. We feel this is taking a short-cut in the eye lash extensions art form. Volume lashes come in a cluster type, meaning it’s pre-made in a factory with 2-6+ extensions glued together. Elluminze feels this does not look voluminous and lacks artistry. It is also not safe, as over time, having cluster extensions glued to one natural lash can cause eyelid sensitivity. We would prefer not to damage your natural lashes and eyelids.
Q. Is the Eyelash Extensions Adhesive Safe?
A. Without a doubt. Our adhesive formula stands as a testament to safety, being
medical-grade and completely devoid of formaldehyde and fumes. This unique
formulation offers unparalleled flexibility, luster, and sheen while strategically avoiding
fiber coating—a groundbreaking achievement in the industry. Drying within three
seconds externally, this adhesive establishes a superior bond that lasts through the
entire life cycle of the natural lash, extending up to a remarkable 90 days!
