Lash Extensions with Patty Leigh Day

When meeting someone for the first time, one of the first things that we notice are their eyes, they are said to be the "window to the soul." True inner and outer beauty can be seen by looking into someone's eyes. What makes the eyes so beautiful and alluring? The color, shape and eyelashes. Women have been wearing makeup on their eyes & false eyelashes since the 1900’s and mascara since the time of the Ancient Egyptians. We have come a long way from those days!

The latest trend that the most popular celebrities have been rocking on the red carpet are eyelash extensions. Stars like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce aren’t just naturally blessed with those super thick long lashes.  They have lash extensions. 

Lash extensions are individual tiny hairs adhered to each one of your lash hairs with a medical grade adhesive. The relaxing service is completely safe and done in the spa with your eyes closed the entire time. Most people fall asleep. With just an hour or two of your time for the first application the lashes last about a month. They will shed gradually with your natural lash hairs or can be touched up after 2-3 weeks by filling in any areas with new lashes.

 Lash extensions come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses to customize them to each individual. The lashes look completely natural and are so light weight they feel like nothing is on at all. From very natural to lush and dramatic there is no need for mascara with lash extensions. You can also throw out your eyelash curler, the extensions even come in different styles of curl.

If you want to draw more attention to your eyes without having to put on a lot of makeup or thick mascara, lash extensions are for you!

Makeup Artist Kelly Crossley's Facts on Airbrush Makeup Application

As we look towards fall, what is going to pop as we browse through our magazines?  Flawless skin, lush lashes and a bold lip! How are you changing your makeup routine this season?  Some think that once they find a color lipstick or blush they love they need to stick with it.  But it’s a new season and a perfect time to change it up with fall colors.

First thing is first, your skin!! When your skin looks at its best, you feel so much better about yourself. Love that flawless look, than try Airbrush Makeup Application for that special occasion! Airbrush Foundations are thinner than regular foundations.  It is highly pigmented and leaves a natural, unflawed look through tiny pixels airbrushed to your skin.  It is water, sweat and tear-resistant and can last up to 16 hours! We use a silicone based air-makeup that will diminish any fine lines, hyper-pigmentations and acne scars. It’s HD photography’s best friend, which makes it perfect for weddings!!

Show off your radiant skin with Stila's All- Day Waterproof Volumizing Mascara to open the eye and a beautifully painted bold lip in a deep red or plum.  Suede Salon Spa and Body offers lip colors from Stila  in cool and warm shades to match your skin’s correct tone. My personal favorite this season is Stila's Long Wear Lip Color in “Lover” and “Daring”.  For a glossy lip, try Stila's Harvest or Foliage Lip Glaze Trio. Three midsized lip glosses for $12!!

Stop by and speak with myself or any other member of our talented makeup department to see which shade is best for you. Suede Salon Spa and Body offers a Private Makeup Instruction Complimentary during the Fall Season.   We look forward to helping you feel your best!!
