When you’re getting ready for your wedding day, you plan the usual priorities: Dress, shoes, flowers, makeup, and hair. What about eyelashes? Eyelashes frame the most important feature on our faces. 

Especially since you’ll be looking deeply into the eyes of your beloved while exchanging vows (and also posing for approximately a thousand photos after the ceremony!). 

Here are our top tips for achieving Kardashian-level eyelashes on the big day – and beyond.

Serums Work With Time 

If you’re willing to try a little tenderness and patience, eyelash enhancing serums are worth trying. While initially, they need to be applied to your lash line every single night, after the first eight weeks, you can taper down to a couple of times a week. The results are simply stunning. Not only do they lengthen and strengthen your natural lashes, but they condition them as well. So after a couple of months of use, you’re left with gorgeous, full, long lashes. You can opt for a black mascara for extension style lashes, or you could use a clear mascara and lash curler for a more natural look. You can buy many lash serums from beauty supply stores or get prescription-strength serums like Latisse through a dermatologist prescription.

Lash Tint & Lift 

Another way to achieve a swoon-worthy set of lashes is getting your lashes tinted and lifted. This procedure is worth it if you already have long, healthy lashes and want a curled look with the dark tint one coat of mascara would give you. You can get your lashes lifted by an esthetician in many salons and spas, and it’s affordable – around $100. The lash lift itself lasts about a month and the tint for a couple of weeks. So, it’s something that you’ll have to keep up with, but many women decide it’s worth it. As far as a time commitment, the appointment lasts for about forty-five minutes, so it could be taken care of on a lunch break if you wanted. 

Eyelash Extensions 

Saving what some would argue as the best for last are eyelash extensions. If you’ve never had eyelash extensions, you should try them at least once, as they are absolutely fantastic. If you’re the type of girl who barely has time to throw up her hair and do a quick brush with your electric toothbrush before you run out the door for your day – lash extensions are a significant time-saver, and you look gorgeous without any makeup on. 

Lash extensions are an investment upfront. You can expect your full set application to run you anywhere between $200-$400 depending on the level of drama you’re looking for. If done correctly, though, they shouldn’t damage your natural lashes, and some serums that don’t contain oil are safe to use with extensions, so you can keep your natural lashes healthy while wearing your extensions. One thing that some consider a downside to lash extensions is they are a time investment. Your initial set will take around two hours and then upkeep, and you’re looking at approximately one-hour appointments every week or two to keep them looking complete and perfect. All those appointments also add up on your wallet, so they’re a financial investment as well. But, if you can afford them or choose to budget for them, they look gorgeous and are a total confidence booster. 

Whichever direction you decide to go in for your eyelash enhancement, one thing is for sure – it pays off to invest in long, healthy lashes as they keep you looking youthful and healthy. Make sure to always use the highest quality beauty products – those that go through extensive beauty product testing before they’re put on the market. So, do some research and decide which way seems like it would fit your lifestyle and budget and get to growing (or buying) the perfect lashes. You won’t regret it!
