Eyelash Extensions Ease Wedding Stress For Brides

Say Eye Do

If you’re getting ready to say “I do” to your man, we’ve got some news to share on why you might want to think about “Saying EyeDo™” to the addition of eyelash extensions. Eyelash extensions offer a bevy of benefits for any bride-to-be and it’s tough to narrow the list.

The top 5 reasons eyelash extensions are indispensible additions for busy brides:

 1 – Save Time (Pre-wedding):

Wedding preparation is hectic! There’s so much to accomplish and there never seems to be enough time for the bride to get to everything. Eyelash extensions are a great time saver! Brides can skip the morning makeup routine and make it to all their errands that much faster all while still looking fabulous!

2 – Save Face (Pre-wedding):

Stress and lack of sleep plague many a bride-to-be during the weeks leading up to the wedding. Eyelash extensions can create a well-rested, wide-eyed appearance and help disguise any signs of stress or sleep deprivation that often show on the face.

3 – Stay Fresh (Day of):

The actual wedding day is typically quite long for brides. Preparations begin early in the morning and celebrations last late into the night. With eyelash extensions, brides are photo-ready throughout the entire day with no need to stop for cosmetic touch-ups!

4 – Stay Flawless (Day of):

There’s nothing worse than a beautiful bride sporting raccoon circles of mascara around her eyes. Since just about every bride tears up at her wedding, eyelash extensions are the ideal solution to prevent any mascara mishaps!

5 – Set Sail (Post-wedding):

Starting out a wedding in eyelash extensions extends into the honeymoon. For brides planning any post-wedding trips, eyelash extensions are the perfect travel companion. New wives can enjoy all the extracurricular activities at their exotic destination of choice with no fuss & no muss and still look absolutely fabulous!

The art of the brow

1. First, start applying loose powder to the brow with an all over shadow brush. The powder helps the pencil go on smoothly and evenly. Pencil the brow following their natural line.

2. Apply a brow groomer to hold brows perfectly in place.

3. Use a concealer for a better defined brow.

4. Choose a highlighting matte shadow 2 shades lighter than your skin tone and apply to the brow bone to create a higher arch.

Brushes are important beauty tools!

Some Essential brushes to achieve the look you want. 

It is best to go with natural hair. Depending on the task they are meant to perform, they may be squirrel, sable, goat or pony. Most every company now realizes that cruelty-free products are the only way to go. For foundation and concealer, synthetic brushes are best. For an even and smooth product application. Synthetic brushes also work best for brows, where you need a short, firm brush to achieve that perfect arch.
