Are eyelashe extensions allowed in unit?

I have eyelash extensions and have been wearing them since phase 2 training. In my 4 years I have never had an issue. My chain of command have told be they must be removed, but there is nothing in dress regs saying I can’t wear permanent makeup

    If they are sensible and not impeeding you doing your job then there is nothing in writing to prevent you wearing eyelash extensions. As you know, you are allowed 'natural looking' makeup so if they are not crazy eyelashes (although i have seen a few) loads of females have them now! If you want some more support, do you have a FB page for your capbadge or are a member of any of the Army Network FB groups?
