Extensions

Eyelash extensions have fast become the hottest thing in beauty this year and we highly recommend them. Eyelash extensions are not simply an extension of your natural lashes, they truly give you a full, long, mascared look 24/7 - you don't need to curl or use mascara product - think of the time to be saved! 30-70 lashes are applied to each eye, depending on the look you are after, and they can last up to 8 weeks.

Perming

One of the greatest beauty inventions, eyelash perming is something no woman should go without. The process achieves a far more dramatic result than you would get with an eyelash curler - and you can expect the perm to last between 4 and 8 weeks. The perm almost eliminates the need to use mascara during the day time, and applying mascara with your evening make-up look will create an enviable va-va-voom effect. Eyelash perming will cost around $50 and is oh-so-worth it! Click here for a more extensive look at eyelash perming.

Tinting

A tried and true treatment, eyelash tinting has been an essential part of the beauty routine of many New Zealand women for a long time now. Aside from really enhancing and opening up the eyes, lash tinting is great for those who are sensitive to eye makeup, contact lens wearers, and women with fair hair who need a little more colour intensity. It is also a perfect treatment for summer, those who play water sports, and women who don't have time for make-up. Tinting is usually available in a range of shades - black, blue black, dark brown, light brown and blue (we recommend blue black -it's fabulous, trust us).  The tint usually lasts for 5 - 6 weeks and is totally affordable, usually costing between $20 and $30.

Do-it-your-self falsies

Do it yourself falsies are a perfect way to vamp up your night time look. Available in full sets or as individual lashes they are easy to apply with a little care (click here for application tips). The options are almost endless these days - for a total diva look you even can get diamante studded falsies. MAC does a great full set called Featherette Lashes - a cluster of black feathers trimmed into dramatic, lash-like sections. FashioNZ's fave falsie look: using individual lashes, apply 3-4 clusters to the outside edges of your eyes for understated, natural glamour. We love MACs individual lash sets RRP: $22
