Freedom From Mascara

I don’t know about you, but being a busy mom and career woman, I just don’t get enough sleep these days. What that means to all of you beauty mavens is that most mornings, I wake up looking tired, worn out and half asleep. But all that was before I got my new eyelash extensions, and now that I have these beautiful flirty babies, I wake up in the morning looking refreshed, sexy and put together before I do anything–I am absolutely in LOVE!

Â

I owe my new bright-eyed confidence to Chou Chou Grant, an eyelash extension maven who is one of West Los Angeles’ best kept beauty secrets. She has been applying semi-permanent individual lashes to the eyes of movie and television stars, fashion models, brides and socialites for more than thirty-years. Her mission is to help you enjoy the benefits of looking great with minimal make-up (Gotta love that!). The application takes about an hour and Chou Chou carefully studies the proportions of your facial features to help her achieve the most flattering look before applying the individual lashes, and her extensions typically last ten days to three weeks before you need a fill.

I think Chou Chou truly is a master, her technique is polished and professional, and her lashes look flawless. I have had extensions in the past, and they cost me more and didn’t look as good or last as long. I just can’t get over how amazing, sparkly and alert my eyes look all the time and I don’t have to do ANYTHING! I really don’t need to wear any make-up at all and they even camouflage my dark circles which is a huge plus. And when I actually do get around to wearing make-up, the lashes make it look like I have had a professional make-up application and I look like a million bucks.

Chou Chou doesn’t do the individual Korean lashes but tends to use more of the lash clusters to achieve more impact in a shorter amount of time, and they look like the lashes I wish I was born with. After about an hour in her chair (most extensions take at least 2 hours BTW) you won’t believe the difference, and the best part is that she is much less than many other extensions out there. She charges $95 for a full set of lashes customized to your face and taste (me, I go for the dramatic look) and it costs $45 for a fill which you might need once or twice a month.
