Waterproof makeup has gained extensive popularity since it is long-lasting. This makes it an arduous task to get rid of waterproof makeup easily.

It may loosen the grip of the lash from the solution creating weakening the tenuous bond. With the uneven lashes due to fallout, refilling sessions will have to be booked earlier. This ought to pinch your pocket hard. So we sincerely advise against the use of waterproof makeup on your extensions.
Which is the worse makeup to use on your eyelash extension?
The extensions are bonded using glue exactly where pencil liners are used. When a sticky pencil liner is dragged on the same line, it causes the tangling of the lashes leading to premature fallout. The removal of pencil liners is often a nightmare due to the gum-like residue that they leave on the extensions.
Waterproof eye-liner and tubing mascara use the smudge-proof formula that avoids letting them budge for a long time. Any product that requires rubbing to get rid of its long-lasting capabilities can weaken the lash bonding. However, innocent a product may seem a harsh treatment, or rubbing on the lash line can jeopardize the longevity of the lash extensions.
Oil and alcohol-based make-up remover work best for getting rid of adamant eye-makeup. But they weaken the adhesive that bonds the extensions to your natural lashes, thus causing their premature fall. Beauty experts recommend using micellar water or oil-free makeup remover to keep your lashes healthy and long-lasting.
