Transcript
00:00I am a little nervous about having someone so close to my eyes with
00:06tweezers and glue and but I hope the result is worth it hi my name is Carly
00:13and today I am getting bottom eyelash extensions I really like my eyelashes
00:17they have a nice curl to them but they are pretty light I did once try lash
00:22lift and it didn't really pan out the way I had hoped dropped a lot of money
00:27for it to look the exact same applying false lashes I love the look but it is
00:33very tedious and you have to really get it right with the tackiness of the glue
00:37and making sure your hand is steady I have never gotten eyelash extensions
00:41before and I figure if I'm gonna try it out might as well go all the way and
00:47also get bottom lashes I never really heard that that was a thing up until a
00:51few weeks ago but I'm excited because I just feel like it's gonna enhance the
00:55entire look I'm not wearing bottom lashes right now but when I do get them I
01:00completely love them I feel like a black barbie hello my name is Clementina
01:04Richardson I'm the owner and founder of Envious Lashes I'm a licensed
01:08esthetician and we're located in New York City and also Comac Long Island I've
01:12been in the last industry since 2007 I'm completely obsessed with it I love
01:16customization it's not a one-size-fit-all
01:21I've seen a lot of different eyelash extensions some look really great and
01:25natural and others it's very obvious that they have extensions and I kind of
01:30want to lean towards like the very natural seamless look
01:33hi Carly take a seat here it may be a small thing but this is definitely gonna
01:38change my life so what sort of look you're going for today I really want to
01:41have like bright wide eyes you know I look really tired without mascara and so I
01:46want to just look very awake I just want a natural look and I feel like bottom
01:50lashes will help that as well I think that would be perfect for you considering
01:54your eyes are smaller over here turn sideways for me here okay your natural
01:58lashes has like a nice lift to them so we're gonna give you a nice soft curl I
02:02find your bottom lashes to be super fine so we don't want to create like too much
02:06weight on them we're gonna go for shorter lashes you're definitely gonna see them
02:10they're gonna be very visible and they're gonna compliment the top amazing good
02:18first we'll do a top lash application and then we'll do the bottoms
02:44first I use a medical grade tape and I pull the top lashes out of the way this
02:49gives me visibility so I can see the application while I'm applying the bottom
02:53lashes then I cleanse the bottom lashes then I go ahead and prime the bottom
03:05lashes and then I select what type of lashes I'm gonna use on her base on length
03:11next I use a tweezer to pick up a strand of lash I hold the lash and I place the
03:17base of the lash into the clear adhesive then I attach the actual extension to the
03:24natural lash
03:34for the bottom lashes this is done anywhere from 30 to 40 times per eye from the
03:39outer end going all the way inner we've been doing my bottom lashes here at
03:44Envy's lashes for about five years people are just not aware of them but
03:48once they found out about them they are just all for it
03:54the result gives a look a more finished look and it complements the top making the
03:59eyes appear more wide and open I definitely would recommend bottom lashes to
04:04anyone that's looking for a more finished look however it's definitely more high
04:08maintenance to maintain the lashes what we tell our clients to do is not to get
04:12them wet for the first 24 to 48 hours would be best when you're washing your
04:16face be really careful wash around the eye area you don't want to do any
04:20rubbing back and forth
04:25then that's it you got yourself a bottom lash application
04:30so Collie we're all done do you feel comfortable everything's good no stinging irritation
04:33I'm ready to see it okay so take a look
04:39oh my god the bottom lashes they're beautiful it kind of looks like I'm wearing eyeliner but like
04:48in a very subtle way oh they're so my lashes don't even look this good with
04:56mascara on I I'm addicted awesome I'm gonna be coming back for sure they're so
05:01beautiful when I first saw my lashes I was shocked the top look incredible but
05:06the bottom I didn't know what to expect with bottom lashes but I am so pleased I
05:12thought that I would be able to feel them on my natural lashes but it feels so
05:17seamless even the bottom ones it doesn't feel like I have anything on when I
05:21first saw Carly with the bottom lashes on I was like yes it's exactly the look
05:26we were going for her eyes were more open it was finished she looked awake and
05:30I'm so happy she was extremely happy with the results that we chose
05:34Clementina is incredible there is a reason why people go to her she walked me
05:38through every single step I really wanted a natural look and she listened to me
05:43and she gave me advice on like what would look best I would definitely go back to
05:47her going through this treatment I definitely feel more confident
05:50without mascara I look really tired and with this my eyes are wide open oh I'm
05:56ready to take on the day thank you so much for watching to see more videos
