Important
When choosing a trend always consider the shape of your eyes, general style solution images and appropriateness for a specific special occasion.
Lash Styles for Weddings, Graduations, Vacations and Photoshoots
Selection style of extensions depends on the nature of the event.
Wedding Lashes. Brides often choose natural or moderately expressive styles(classic, light hybrid, “Wispy & Romantic”, Angel Lashes). Eyelashes should be tear-resistant and comfortable all day long. For on-site registrations, moisture resistance is important.
Eyelashes for Graduations. If you want more of a daring option – textured eyelashes, easy volume, Anime Lashes or color accents, could work in harmony with your outfit.
Vacation Lashes. Practicality and durability is encouraged. Resistance to water and sun is important as well. Classic or hybrid extension is easier to care for while traveling.
Eyelashes for Photoshoots. Must be photogenic.Volume and texture are often preferred.”Wet eyelashes” effect or L-bends can look great in photos.

Tip
Discuss with the master the specifics of your event- it will help you choose the best style and eyelash parameters.
Planning and Preparing for “That Very Day”
Correct planning for the extension procedure– is the key to success.
Ideal Time for Extensions. It is best to do the extensions 2-3 days before the special occasion. This will allow the glue to fully polymerize, and for you to get used to the eyelashes, and for the master– to make minor adjustments if necessary.
Trial Run. If this is your first experience or you are planning a new style for a very important event (for example,weddings), do a trial run extension 2-4 weeks beforehand.
Correction (Fill). For maximum freshness and thickness, It’s best to schedule a correction 3-4 days before the event.
Preparation for the Procedure. Come with clean eyelashes, without makeup. It is best to avoid caffeine before your visit.
Pre-Event Extension Preparation Timeline
| Time before Event | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| 4-6 weeks | Search for a master/salon. Book a consultation and trial extension(if necessary). |
| 2-3 weeks | Do a trial run extension and patch test. Value your result and comfort. |
| 1 week | Finalize the style and parameters with the master. Confirm the entry. |
| 2-3 days | Do the main extensions or the final correction. |
| Event Day | Carefully clean your eyelashes. Apply makeup according to the recommendations. |
