Beauty Q&A Local professionals solve your beauty problems LOVELY LASHES Aimee Purser, founder of Aimee Purser Beauty, says: Lashes will make such a difference to your make-up look on your big day. There are a few options out there depending on what your preference is and what kind of look you are hoping to achieve. Firstly you have the lash lift. This would be perfect for a bride who has long and thick natural lashes as it will give them a lovely lift and tint without having extensions. The results from LVL lashes can be amazing, this is a quick lash treatment taking just over an hour and will last six to eight weeks with no maintenance so it will last throughout your honeymoon too. Then you have eyelash extensions. Eyelash extensions will give you a more full and dramatic look. There are three types of lash extensions you can choose from. ❤ Classic lashes – this method means applying individual lash extensions to every natural lash, giving a more natural look. This 1:1 method is great for ladies who have healthy lashes but want to add a bit of length and volume but still keep a natural look. This treatment takes around two hours and you will need regular infills every two to three weeks. ❤ Russian volume lashes – Russian volume is a more advanced technique using lash fans instead of individual lashes. They can have anything from two to 10 lashes per fan. By applying fans to your natural lashes you will achieve a much more full and voluminous look. These lashes take around three hours for a full set and will need regular infills to keep them looking full.  ❤ Hybrid lashes – hybrid lashes are perfect for someone who wants something in between classic lashes and Russian volume lashes. This method means applying a combination of individual lashes and fans. This technique takes around two- and-a-half hours and you will need to have regular infills if you want to keep them looking full. Aimee Purser, Aimee Purser Beauty facebook.com/aimeepurserbeauty/ 74
