What is Silk Lash?

Silk eyelashes; Unlike planting, it is a temporary application of silk honey that increases the length and density of eyelashes.

As a result of the application, which takes an average of 1 to 1.5 hours, dense and curved eyelashes are obtained.

You can repeat this process after the eyelashes, which have a life of approximately 90 days, fill their time. Eyelashes, which do not harm the eye tissue, are not damaged by bathing or make-up and maintain their permanence for a while.
