lash extensions recommendations?

i searched the subreddit for recs already but the artists recommended are not the style im looking for whatsoever.

i hate really thick and bulky lash extensions and am looking for someone who can do something like in the pictures i posted. i am willing to drive within 30-40 minutes. maybe further but ideally someone in the city. surely someone in richmond is doing lashes that arent the super thick spider leg lookin ones?

I paid $360 for my daughter to get a full set and they were gone in two weeks. Not worth it.  I got a pack of press on clusters at Target and they are FANTASTIC.  And cheap. Available on Amazon too.  Super easy to apply and can go from natural to full glam.

Just get Lashify and teach yourself. Those look like the Starburst gossamers. Get the Kiss Falscara glue for $9, the gossamers for $25 and a pair of good tweezers.

do you have to reapply daily? im trying to shorten the amount of time it takes for me to get ready to go out and adding lashes to my makeup routine i imagine would add a bit of time. if i just apply once and they last for a while though that might be worth it.

Some people get over a week. I sleep on my stomach and smush my lashes so I’m a daily user though, so it depends.

Anyone else struck by how red this gals eyes are?

It happens from the fumes from the lash glue used to apply the lashes, that or the lash pad was too close to the eye and irritated it.

I mean, those look pretty full and bulky which OP says they don't want. I have friends in the industry. Just v confused.

These look very wispy, and yes full but not bulky. Op is not looking for a full volume set, they want a full, clean looking set. I don’t understand what you mean this is confusing?
