“Lashes add the magic to your eyes; keep them sparkling all season!”

From picking the perfect lash style to keeping them safe and sound, here’s how to keep your lashes looking amazing at every holiday bash.

Prep Your Lashes Before the Holidays

Start your holiday lash journey with a good prep! A few days before your big plans, focus on getting your natural lashes ready. Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser to get rid of any makeup and dirt. This keeps your lashes clean and lets the lash glue stick better.

• Skip the Mascara and Curlers: Keep away from mascara and curlers at least 24 hours before your appointment. This ensures the adhesive holds better.
• First Timer? Book a patch test to avoid any allergic reactions.

Finally, give your natural lashes a bit of love with a conditioner. This boosts their strength and gets them ready for your glam holiday look. A little prep goes a long way in making your lashes look stunning and last longer!

Choose the Right Lash Extensions for Your Holiday Look

Picking the ideal lash extensions for the holiday season can take your look from great to unforgettable. Whether you want a relaxed beach vibe or chic party glam, the right style of lash extensions is key.

Know Your Options: There are three main styles of lash extensions:

• Classic Lashes: Offer a natural look, adding subtle length and thickness—great for the beach or a casual brunch.
• Volume Lashes: Create a fuller and more dramatic appearance, ideal for evening parties or dinners.
• Hybrid Lashes: Mix of classic and volume. Perfect for both laid-back and elegant settings.

Get Expert Advice: A lash professional can suggest the best extensions for your eye shape and holiday style. The right lashes not only enhance your eyes but also lift your confidence.

Pick lash extensions that suit your holiday plans and style. This way, you’ll be ready for spontaneous photos or a night out with friends, all while keeping your lashes looking fabulous!

Master the Art of Lash Cleansing

Keeping your lashes clean during the holidays is key, and it’s not as tough as it might seem. Start by picking a gentle lash cleanser designed for extensions, like our Lash Detox or Prolong Lash Eyelash Extension cleanser. They’re both kind to your lashes and keep them free from residue.

Simple Steps to Clean Lashes

1. Routine Ritual: Cleanse your lashes twice daily.
2. Apply Cleanser: Use a soft cleansing brush with a pump or two of cleanser. Gently massage along your lash line.

Tips for Happy Lashes

• Gentle Touch: Be soft and delicate to avoid damaging your lashes.
• Post-Cleanse Brushing: Comb with a mascara wand to keep lashes luscious and neat.

Regular lash cleaning keeps them stunning and healthy, perfect for the busy holiday season. Stick with these easy habits to ensure your lashes look fabulous and feel great all season long!

Protect Your Lashes from the Elements

Just like your skin, your lashes need protection from the weather. Sun, wind, and cold can all cause damage – something you definitely want to avoid during festive times. Whether you’re sunbathing or facing cold winds, here’s how to guard those lashes:

• Tip: Grab some stylish sunglasses. They keep your eyes looking chic and protect your lashes from UV rays, heat, and wind.
• For a tropical getaway: Use a hydrating lash serum to maintain moisture. This prevents dryness and brittleness.
• Water Activities: Apply ‘Lash Armor’ to shield lashes from water, sweat, and humidity.

Finally, after outdoor fun – especially if you’ve been swimming or using sunscreen – gently wash your lashes. Use a cleanser like Prolong Lash Foaming Pump Cleanser to refresh them, clearing away chlorine or debris.

Lash-Friendly Makeup Tips for Festive Glam

Your lashes are the stars of your holiday look! With a few simple tips, you can keep them stunning without risking damage. Remember, for lashes, less is more, especially during the holiday season. Choose a gentle, oil-free eyeliner. Your go-to options? Liquid or felt-tip liners—they glide on smoothly and are easy to clean off.

🚫 Skip the Heavy Mascara

After getting lash extensions, you can ditch thick, clumpy mascaras. If you still crave a touch of drama, go for a water-based mascara that’s lash-extension-friendly. It’ll add a subtle boost without making them too heavy.

✨ Eyeshadow with Care

Shimmering eyeshadow can enchant, but be cautious of fallout. Opt for cream-based shadows—easy to apply, stay in place, and reduce fallout. To clean, use a gentle micellar water or oil-free makeup remover to keep your lashes safe and sound.

🎉 Finish with a Festive Flair

Add a hint of holiday cheer with lash-safe glitter on your eyelids. These small touches keep your glam—and your lash extensions—perfectly intact.

With these tips, your festive glam will look fabulous while ensuring your lashes remain as dazzling as your holiday spirit. Armed with the right products and techniques, your lashes will be the life of the party, staying healthy and picture-perfect!

How to Shower Without Compromising Your Lashes

Showering daily? No problem! You can keep your beautiful lashes safe with a few smart moves.

• Avoid the Direct Stream: Keep your face away from the shower spray. Tilt your head back or to the side to protect your lashes.
• Use a Shower Cap: It shields your lashes and styled hair from water.

For face washing:

• Choose Gentle Cleansers: Avoid harsh ingredients. Wipe around your eyes with a soft cloth or pad instead.
• No Eye Rubbing: Dab with a towel to keep your extensions secure.

After your shower:

• Comb Your Lashes: A gentle brush keeps lashes full and neat.

With these easy tips, your lashes stay alluring all day long! ✨

Swim Safely: Protecting Your Lash Extensions in Water

Swimming while flaunting those fabulous lash extensions? Here’s how to keep them perfect: Prep and Protect!

• 🕶️ Wear Goggles: Slip on some snug-fitting swim goggles. They protect your lashes from chlorine and saltwater, keeping that adhesive strong.
• 💧 Rinse Gently: After your swim, rinse your lashes with clean water. Say goodbye to any leftover chlorine or salt.
• 🧴 Use a Lash Cleanser: Follow up with a lash cleanser, like Prolong Lash Foaming Pump Cleanser, for a full refresh.
• 🪄 Comb with Care: Tuck a mascara wand into your swim bag. After cleaning, gently comb through your lashes to keep them aligned.

Just like that, your lashes stay fluttery and fabulous throughout your holiday fun! 🎉

Keep Your Lash Extensions Secure While Sleeping

We all love a good night’s sleep, but did you know your sleep habits affect your lash extensions too? Follow these easy tips to keep your lashes beautiful as you snooze!

• Silk Pillowcase: Use a silk pillowcase to stop lashes from tangling or snagging. Its smooth surface means less friction, helping your lashes stay curled and perfectly in place.
• Back Sleeping: Try sleeping on your back. This keeps your lashes from pressing against the pillow, maintaining their shape and fullness.
• Eye Mask: Consider a silk eye mask for added protection. It helps shield your lashes as you turn in your sleep.

With these simple tweaks, you’ll enjoy beauty sleep that truly enhances your holiday lash look!

Travel Tips for Maintaining Lash Glam

Traveling can be unpredictable, especially when it comes to maintaining perfect lashes. Here’s how to keep them looking fabulous all vacation long!

• Strategic Packing: Pack a gentle, oil-free lash cleanser and spoolie brushes to keep your lashes clean and tidy on the go.
