Q. My wedding day will be long, but I want makeup that stays perfect throughout the day without the hassle of touch ups. Any ideas on products to use?
A. Many cosmetic products are long-wearing, but when it comes to the eyes, lash extensions are all the rage. Unlike strip lashes, extensions won’t budge or look fake (even when you shed a tear!). You’ll have long lashes without curling or applying mascara.
“Lash extensions are the difference between a beautiful bride and a stunning bride,” says Melissa Altenburg of Madison-based Lashionista’s.
Altenburg applies extensions individually to each lash, resulting in a finish so natural looking, most people can’t detect the enhancements even up close.
“Most importantly, they look amazing in wedding photos,” she says. The process takes two hours, but, she says, many clients sleep right through it.
Your new lashes will last into your honeymoon, so you can focus on enjoying a romantic trip with your husband rather than fussing over your makeup. The extensions shed naturally with your own lashes, lasting about six to eight weeks. Get them filled after three or four weeks to keep your new lashes looking fresh.
