Which lashes will reign this season?
Brides are increasingly moving away from heavy, theatrical styles in favour of naturalness and lightness. In bridal fashion, "Soft Glam" continues to triumph.
A luxurious, polished look with natural freshness is a precise definition of "soft glam" - what does this mean in lash styling?
Volumes that add depth to the eyes while remaining almost imperceptible on the eyelid.
Which lash styling should you recommend to a bride?
- Wispy Effect: Scattered lashes of varying lengths that imitate natural, slightly "messy" growth, adding a flirtatious character to the look.
- Wet Look effect: Ideal for brides who want to achieve a defined look without excessive volume.
-
Light volumes (2D-3D): A classic that thickens the lash line while remaining subtle - key for women who do not wear make-up on a daily basis and are afraid of looking "overdone".
How to choose the right effect?
The key to success is an in-depth consultation. Remember that the lashes must work well with the shape of the eye, but also with the planned make-up and the style of the dress.
-
For hooded eyelids: Go for a stronger curl (e.g. lashes with a D or L curl), which will visually "open up" the eye.
-
For deep-set eyes: Choose longer lashes so they do not "disappear" under the brow bone.
-
For minimalists: The 1:1 method on lashes with a smaller thickness (e.g. 0.07 or 0.10 mm) will work perfectly, giving the effect of perfectly mascara-coated hairs.
What are brides afraid of?
Many wedding forums feature questions from worried brides-to-be who are considering eyelash extensions. It turns out that the most common concern in this area is an allergic reaction and an overdone effect. How can this be prevented?
- Trial application - if the client is planning bridal styling with you, suggest a styling appointment 3-4 weeks beforehand.
- Use exactly the same products - on the wedding day there is no room for even a small allergic reaction; if your client responds well to certain products, do not change them.
- Trusted products - work with your tried-and-tested products; this is not the place for experimenting.
