Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable days of your life, and you want to look and feel your absolute best. Makeup plays a crucial role in enhancing your features and making you feel confident and beautiful. One element that many brides consider is whether to opt for false lashes or stick to their natural lashes. In this blog, we discuss the options to help you make an informed decision for your wedding day makeup.
Individual or strip?
When we say false lashes, we tend to offer individual cluster lashes. This is because with these we can custom build lashes to suit your preference, they are also a good introduction to false lashes if you are new to them! They also tend to be more lightweight that strip lashes and if one happens to fall off, you still have your complete look!
Longevity
False lashes can last throughout the day and night, maintaining their appearance even during tears of joy and laughter. So if you think you’re going to be a crier, this could be a great option!

In photos, false lashes can make your eyes pop and add that extra oomph to your bridal look. You can choose for a more subtle or dramatic look but it will make sure your eyes are a focal point on your big day.
Embracing that natural look
Now, a lot of our brides believe that having false lashes will mean their makeup is no longer natural. We understand, but, we can make the lashes suit your eye shape, eye makeup and overall look. The unknown can be scary so it is worth trying them out in your trial, you never know, you might love them!
Lash Lift and Lash Extensions
There are other options for lashes including Lash Lifts and Lash Extensions, but we recommend trying these in advance and communicating this with your makeup artist. Lash Lifts are effectively perming your lashes to make them curlier and tinting them. Lash Extensions are longer lasting than the individual lashes we use. The process involves adding lengthening and/or thickening lashes you’re your natural lash using a strong glue. This is because sometimes, a client has asked for us to add individual lashes on top of lash lift which can sometimes be very difficult.
Keeping it natural
If you think that adding false lashes will be too much for you on your wedding day, that is absolutely fine! Mascara and a soft eyeliner can help bring the drama! Just a side note, there is only so much mascara and pressure we can add to your eye, so if you know how you like your mascara make sure you mention this to your makeup artist.
Final words: Ultimately, it's your call! Consider what makes you feel comfortable, keeping in mind your comfort and the look you're going for. If you're on the fence, you could opt for individual false lashes for a subtle but enhanced effect.
Better yet, chat with a makeup artist! We’ve got the expertise to help you nail the balance between enhancing your beauty and staying true to yourself.
Whatever you choose, the most important thing is to rock your look with confidence.
