5 Reasons Why Brides Should Have Semi-Permanent Eye Lash Extensions

2 Comments

 

1.  Every  bride deserves to look and feel their best on their wedding day.  The  benefits of semi-permanent eyelash extensions are endless.  Eyelash extensions  exaggerate your eyes and open up your entire face which will make you look amazing in photos. Eyelash extensions help create a well-rested, wide-eyed appearance and help disguise any signs of stress or sleep deprivation that often show on the face after planning for a wedding. Wake up looking great is the goal .

2.   With eyelash extensions, brides are photo-ready throughout the entire day which limits the need for cosmetic touch-ups.  These lashes will last through the honeymoon too!  Semi-permanent eyelash extensions typically last 2 to 3 weeks before needing a refill.  You can even swim, run, dance and workout in them.  Perfect for a long getaway.

3.  Longer and fuller lashes will help you instantly look younger……….what woman doesn’ want that?

4.  Eyelash extensions are a great time saver!  Since just about every bride tears up at her wedding, eyelash extensions are the ideal solution to prevent the raccoon eyes that happens when mascara runs.  Who wants to worry about racoon eyes on their wedding day.   Semi-Permanent eye lash extensions  make such a huge different in your overall look that you may find that you don’t need nearly as much eye makeup.  Lashes allow you to wake up with a head start!

5.  When your eyes look great you look and feel younger,  more radiant,  full of energy and more confident about who you are!  By adding volume and length to your eyelashes, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to wear less makeup and enhance your look.  It is your wedding day!  You should feel your absolute best!

4 Simple Steps to Better Shaped Eye Brows

8 Comments

Your eyebrows can change your entire look!

Did you know that having your eye brows shaped can make a dramatic difference in your appearance? Most eyebrows are not perfectly shaped and thin.  In fact, many are bushy, too straight or over plucked.

You cannot change the bone structure of the eyes, but why would you want to!  However, there are times when you may want to create a better balance and more attractive proportion to the face.  The eyebrows may seem like a trivial  facial feature but, it turns out that it’s true, the eyebrows the most expressive feature and they  really do frame your face. 

Delicately arched, perfectly shaped eyebrows form a perfect frame for the eyes, opening them up and lending harmony and definition to the rest of the face.  Straggly, over-grown or sparse  eyebrows on the other hand, not only draw attention away from the eye but, also give the most carefully made-up face an unbalanced appearance. Ideally, the brows should be so perfect in shape that they are hardly noticed except as apart of the overall harmonious arrangement of the face. Of course the shape of the brow should fit the architecture of the face.  To get a desired or shaped look, it is best to use a pair of tweezers.  Try these 4 simple steps to better shaped eye brows:

**Using the base of your nose and a thin pencil, you can measure the brow for appropriate proportionate balance.

1.   Be sure to cleanse the brow area before shaping the brow.(an astringent  or alcohol will do)

2.   Hold the pencil straight up from the outer edge of the nasal flange to the inner corner of the eye (over the tear duct).  Where the pencil falls if the ideal place for the brow to begin. Put a dot here with a makeup pencil.

3.  Move the pencil to form a diagonal line between the base of the nose and the outer rim of the iris.  The iris is the colored portion of the eye. When the pencil is held at an angle from the nostril it is easier to see where the apex, or highest point of the brow should be. With a pencil, mark the height here.

4.  To find the appropriate end point, slide the pencil to the end of the brow bone. Place a dot where the end should be. The brow can be longer than this point but, never shorter. Be sure to measure both brows.

**  Use a sterile tweezer to gently pluck any stray hairs to get a clean shape!

The right brow shape can and will make a dramatic difference in the way you look and feel when you look into the mirror. Be sure to see a professional  Esthetician and Brow Stylist for best results!

5 Things every woman needs in her Wardrobe in 2012

 

How many times have you looked into your closet and thought, “I have nothing to wear !”

 

Looking for that perfect piece?  Wondering what is in style?   Do I already have any of the latest trend in my closet?  Most of us just want to polish and maximize who we already are. Guess what…. you probably already own a few of these.

Here are 5 Things every woman needs in her wardrobe in 2012:

 1. Bold, solid & color pieces,  like a cardi and skirt, wrap dress or a one-piece suit with a bright colored belt—make simple dressing look glam!  It’s okay to wear two to three different colors. Don’t have the time to change your outfit? Add a bright colored cardigan and and a pair of different shoes and you are ready to go! The colors that jumps out at the head of the line for spring is orange and Yellow. Don,t be afraid to work your colors!

2. Think Patterns & PRINTS. Play with Prints! If your closet is a sea of solids, add in a few prints. Break up your solid suit with a floral or geometric print blouse. Think whimsical patterns, flowers, fruits to birds you name it, tops with whimsical prints are big! Go ahead, add a floral print scarf to a solid sheath dress.

3. Metallic Basics,You can wear any metal-inspired piece to make your outfit the latest trend.  Metallics come in a wide array of colors. Look for golds and silvers for a classic approach, but feel free to try on a few colorful metallics, too, in vibrant colors. Since metallics pack a significant visual punch all on their own, there’s no need to go overboard with accessories  Keep the rest of your look toned down and neutral to avoid overdoing it.  If you are still getting use to the idea of metallics- stick with an accent piece like a scarf ,clutch or tank.

4. Do a little flirting without saying a word in this season’s peplum skirts, dresses and tops, defined by a short flared ruffle that sits at the natural waist. This added ruffle adds a perfect ladylike flair to your ensemble. With peplum, your silhouette will be looking fit and curvaceous in seconds. The peplum jacket is especially versatile, you can combine it with anything in your closet- it looks especially good when the rest of the outfit is rather clean-cut and sleek!

5. Your accessories can be a mixture of color and texture– Jazz up any neutral outfit (white or beige) with a bright pair of pumps, sandals or handbags are a must.  Brightly colored sassy pumps are alluring and new! The key to pairing bright accessoriesis to add them in subtly is to add them in subtly, experiment with various shades of the bright colors to find the best hue for your complexion and hair color.  Mix these with your classic pieces to make the most of your wardrobe.
