Premade lashes? The mere thought used to make me cringe. I was a a total advocate for handmade lashes, a true die-hard! Settling for anything less than perfection is not in my vocabulary, and my standards? Well, they were sky-high, to say the least!
Let me provide you with a little background. I am what you might call an ‘old school’ lash technician, with a proud history of crafting lashes by hand. The artistry, the precision – it was all part of my lash philosophy. So, when the idea of premade lashes was mentioned, I scoffed, I resisted… until I introduced my very own range. Yes, you read that right – I am now a proud creator of premade lashes 🙈.
Quest for Perfection: The High Stakes
The journey was driven by a singular pursuit: to deliver excellence. I wasn’t going to compromise on quality or cut corners. These premade lashes had a lot to prove if they were to gain my approval. They were under scrutiny, with a checklist that left no room for bad performance.
First and foremost, impeccable retention was non-negotiable. They had to stand the test of time. Clumpy, lumpy bases? A definite no-go! Super pinched bases were a a must – a foundation for seamless attachment.
But perfection didn’t stop there. The crowning glory was the creation of fans that were nothing short of flawless. After all, what purpose did these premades serve if they couldn’t rival my handmade expertise? For over 14 years, I had painstakingly crafted each lash, and my expectations remained as exacting as ever.
A Triumph of Dedication: The Discovery
Months melted into months as I meticulously trialed and tested. And then, after many trials, I found them. The premade lashes that shattered my skepticism and exceeded my wildest expectations. They not only met the checklist – they went above and beyond, surprising even a seasoned lash snob like me.
They granted me the retention I demanded, held true to the promise of pinched bases, and dared to showcase perfect fans. I stood corrected, humbled by the journey these premades had taken me on.
A Humble Confession and a Bright Future
So, here I stand, ready to eat my words. The dislike I once held for premade lashes has been replaced by a newfound appreciation. The benefits, the potential – I see it all clearly now. Premades have carved a place for themselves in the world of lashes, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.
