Can You Wear Mascara with Lash Extensions? 👀 Let’s Break It Down.

At WiNKED, we’re all about keeping your lash game strong — and this week’s been full of wins worth celebrating. 🙌

✨ Lauryn crushed her biggest week ever in clients (major shoutout!)

The Big Question:

“Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?”

We hear this one all the time, and the short answer is: yes — but only the right kind.

Here’s why most mascaras out there just don’t make the cut 👇

Why Traditional Mascara Doesn’t Work with Extensions:

🖤 Oil-Based Ingredients

Most store-bought mascaras are loaded with oils and waxes. These can break down your lash adhesive and send your retention into a nosedive. No thanks.

🖤 Clumps + Tugs

The thick, sticky formulas you’re used to can clump up and pull on your extensions during removal. That means lost lashes and a sad refill.

🖤 Waterproof = Big No

Waterproof mascara sounds tempting, but it’s a nightmare for extensions. It’s tough to remove and usually requires scrubbing — which damages both your extensions and your natural lashes.

What Is Lash-Safe Mascara?

WiNKED’s lash-safe mascara is made specifically for extensions. That means:

✔️ Oil-Free + Extension-Friendly

No adhesive breakdown here.

✔️ Gentle + Easy to Remove

No tugging, scrubbing, or drama.

✔️ No Clumps or Stickiness

Just a smooth, even coat for a soft, enhanced look.

✔️ Perfect for Bottom Lashes

Or when your classic set needs a little extra pop between fills.

Basically? It’s everything you want in a mascara — without everything your lashes don’t need.

And yes… we’re almost sold out (again). 😉 Grab one in-store or DM us to hold yours.

Bonus Reminder:

👀 Pre-book 2 fills → get your Lash Care Kit for $20

(AKA half off the retail price 🙌)

It’s our way of saying thank you — and helping you get the most out of every set. Whether you're new to extensions or a full-on lash veteran, proper aftercare makes all the difference.

Thanks for stopping by our little corner of the internet 💻💜

Stay glowing, stay WiNKED.

With love & lashes,
