"Hi, my name is Julia Trigila in Scottsdale, Arizona, on behalf of Expertvillage. Before I get started with my demonstration, I'd like to point out the sizes that I have used on Kim's eye. Down here at the end, we have created a flare look. That is a .25 mm in thickness and 14 mm in length, and we have done that from here to here. And then I start weaving in 12 mm around this area in with the 14s. And start doing 12s all the way throughout the rest of the lid. Once we get to the inner corners where we don't need them as long anymore, I start weaving in 10s with the 12s. And then I start going with the 10s toward the inner corner, and then I might use a few 8s towards the very inner, inner corner. So that way none of the long ones are hitting the inside of the nose. So this is the look that we have established for Kim that works best for her eye. She wanted the flare look and that's what she got. And she is also able to achieve this look because she has a nice high arch over here and she is able to still have space in between her lashes and her brow. Some people might not be able to pull off this look because if they put a 14 on, it might be touching their eyebrow, and that's way too dramatic for some people. I do have different lengths to achieve the look that you are going for, and I also have different thicknesses if you don't want something as thick and dramatic. I am also able to take 6 mm which are smaller than the ones in here and do your bottom lash as well. What are eyelash extensions? Eyelash extensions is a revolutionary way to extend the length and thickness of your eyelashes. The lashes are synthetic and tapered from thick to thin to resemble a real eyelash. It is applied on a hair by hair basis to your own lashes for a completely natural look. This process leaves your eyelashes longer, thicker, fuller and more gorgeous. You can now throw out your mascara and look forward to waking up in the morning with beautiful lashes to go. "
