While I was in NYC I made a visit to the fabulous makeup artist & eyelash guru Megan Soffe to get eyelash extensions. I have several very close friends with extensions {I’ll never tell who} and have been coveting them for a while, so the timing of this couldn’t have been better.
Let’s let the photos do the talking, shall we?
Before:
The left eye has extensions, the other does not.
Never mind how tired my eyes look, it’s the eyelashes we’re focusing on right now.
After:
This is what my eyes look like when I wake up in the morning right now. Yowza!
From the top now:
And with makeup {no mascara mind you, this is just eyeliner and shadow}:
Amazing right? Just when I thought I’d seen it all:
If you’re in the Manhattan area, if you’re even thinking of heading to the Manhattan area you have to go see Megan for eyelash extensions, she’s simply amazing.

Whoa! How long does that last?! Fantastic!!!
Gor-geous.
amazing! now when you do a smoky eye the fire dept will come a running. haha.
I agree. I've had mine done by Megan and so far they have lasted about a month. I just now need to go in for a touch-up.
Ohhhhh! They're so pretty!
Naomi,
I hear they last around 4-6 weeks, and then you get them filled in pieces again.
Azucar,
You would love.
Laura Ferry-Jimenez,
Ha ha ha, you so funny.
Deb,
Me too.
Erin,
Aren't they fab? 4-6 weeks. I'll be filling them in, I'm too vain not to.
Lonna & Dois,
I wish I lived closer to Megan so she could be my touch up gal, she's fabulous.
Emily,
My feelings exactly.
Love it!
wow! those are some seriously lush lashes. how long to the extensions stay on?
Oh my gosh, I want this! Your eyelashes look great! Wonder if anyone does it here in Chicago.
Lucy,
Of course someone does, they're just all the hotness right now.
Yelp it to see if someone does it near you.
I'm in LOVE with them.
They look Fab! You are so going to love them on the days when you have to just wake up and go. So fun!!
super hot mama! i'm curious, what does one pay to look as foxy as you?
Kami,
I need to get the name of a gal locally who might like to fill mine in as they fall out. I'm in love.
Jill,
This was $200 for the set, and it's $75 for fills. That was in NYC though, in Utah it's about half that.
they really do make such a difference — off to research California prices now….
i love them, they are even better in person :)
thanks again for the elf.
jen c smith,
they do, and they're so maintenance free! love them. find someone who needs practice for a portfolio, i imagine cali is full of people like that.
nat,
thank you! and you're welcome. let me know how the smokey goes. we might need to just play with it sometime.
fun hanging at lunch with you the other day, can't wait to do it again.
Nancy,
Word on the street is that they last 4-6 weeks. You fill them in a little though before they fall completely out. Think of it as fake nails; you fill them every so many weeks to maintain.
Stunning. But what I'm wondering is how long do they last?
I think I have to do it. I've just got to try them!!! Yours look fabulous!
Marie,
You have to! Seriously, I'm completely happy with them. I have to do nothing at all in the morning to get gorgeous and I'm having a ball with it!
Those look AH-MAZING! Dang I'm jealous! lol
