Bright Eyes for Summer: The Lash & Brow Boost You Didn't Know You Needed

Hello June! Summer is peeking around the corner, the flip flops are out even if we are still dodging showers and the last thing most of us want is heavy makeup melting off our faces by midday.

This is exactly why I LOVE this time of year for all things lashes and brows. It is the ultimate low effort, high impact beauty glow up perfect for busy lives, summer holidays and feeling that bit more “put together” even when you are rushed off your feet.

Lash Lift & Tint: Your Summer Secret Weapon

If you have never had a lash lift before then you are in for a treat. It is like a perm for your lashes, lifting them upwards to make your eyes look wide, fresh and fluttery. A tint and suddenly it looks like you are wearing mascara without wearing any mascara at all.

It is perfect for:

• Light or fair lashes that disappear without makeup

• Holidays (no panda eyes in the pool)

• Mums, professionals, anyone who wants to skip the daily faff

• Honestly… anyone who wants to feel like their eyes are open and awake!

Brow Shape & Tint: Your Face's Best Friend

There is something so satisfying about a good brow tidy up, right? I’m all about working with your natural shape and giving you brows that fit your face, not a trend. Add a tint and boom your brows look fuller, more defined and done without needing to touch a pencil.

It is the easiest way to look fresh faced, polished and confident especially when the rest of life feels anything but!

Worried They Are Not Perfect? Don’t Be – Real Lashes & Brows Are Welcome

Let’s be honest most of us do not have naturally symmetrical, full lashes and brows. Guess what? That is totally normal.

Here are some of the common lash and brow worries I hear in the salon and why they are not a problem at all:

"My lashes grow in different directions"

No worries! Lash lifting is actually designed to help correct this. Lash techs carefully isolate and position your lashes during the treatment so they lift and curl in a more uniform way even if some like to go rogue!

"My lashes are short or fair so it won’t work for me"

Actually this is when lash lifting and tinting works it's magic the most. You will be surprised what lash techs can enhance when your natural lashes are lifted from the root and given that lovely dark tint.

"My brows are patchy or uneven"

I get it overplucking, thinning with age or just plain genetics can leave brows looking a bit sparse. That is where tinting helps by grabbing all those fair hairs and giving your shape more oomph. Brows will be shaped in a way that flatters your face not a one size fits all trend.

"I don’t want to look too bold or fake"

Totally valid! Every treatment is customisable whether you want a soft, natural lift or more definition, chat with your lash tech beforehand and tailor everything to you. These treatments enhance what you already have they are not about changing your look, just giving you a boost.

A Quick Word on Aftercare

After your lash lift or brow tint:

• Keep them dry for the first 24 - 48 hours

• Avoid oil based products and rubbing your eyes

• Avoid heat treatments or sunbathing for 24 hours to avoid your tint fading

• Avoid putting contact lenses in for the day

• Do not apply make up or have any other eye treatments for at least 24 hours after

• Book a refresh every 6 - 8 weeks to keep the results strong

One Less Thing To Think About

Life is hectic with juggling kids, work, hot flushes, garden weeds and everything in between. These little treatments are more than just beauty, they are about making your days a bit easier, a bit brighter and helping you feel more like you again.
