Lash Extensions, the Instant Makeover.

If you're like most women, you are busy, busy, busy. From the moment you get up, until the moment you rest your pretty head at night, you are going, going, going! Putting on a full face of makeup every day can be extremely tiring and timely. Especially eye liner! Ugh, eye liner. The struggle. 

Getting lash extensions can be a true miracle for the gal who struggles with that perfectly straight, winged liner. Or, for the gal on the go who just doesn't have the time to fuss with it. Wouldn't it be great to roll out of bed, put some face makeup on (no eyes) and call it a day? Or, better yet, skip the face makeup all together! 

Yes, yes! Check out some of our latest lash extension clients to see what we're talking about.

How to Prepare for your Boudoir Photo Shoot

Preparing for your boudoir shoot...

We understand that you may be a little apprehensive about a photo shoot like this, so we have put together a little information on what to expect to help you prepare, relax and enjoy this special experience.

Five - Seven Days Before Your Shoot...

• Make sure your eyebrows are cleanly shaped, waxed, etc. 
• If your roots are growing out, schedule a touchup for color and a fresh haircut if you need it.
• Drink LOTS of water for flawless skin.
• Schedule a mani/pedi
• Start using teeth whitening trays if you have them.
• Try cutting back on your salt intake, if you're worried about being bloated. 
• Start planning out your outfits, and accessories try them on, dance around! 
• Do some scrolling on Pinterest to find poses that you like and save them!

One Day Before Your Shoot...

• Layout your outfits and pack away in an organized fashion, so that when you arrive at your shoot you know what goes together. 
• Wash your hair, or schedule a blowout to have it professionally done.
• Shave and moisturize really well.
• Touch up any chipped nail polish.
• Review your pose photos and practice a few in the mirror.
• Pour yourself a glass of wine and go to bed early. Beauty rest is a must!

The Day of Your Shoot...

• Eat a light breakfast when you wake up, don't starve yourself!
• Wear loose-fitting clothes so that you don't get any red marks on your skin - ie. tight bra, socks, jeans, etc. 
• Arrive for your hair/makeup appointment with clean dry hair and no makeup. Moisturizer is ok, just no SPF. 
• Relax, and be ready to have fun! You are in GREAT hands!
