It has become extremely popular recently to document moments in our everyday lives with photos. If you’re at an event with friends, you will probably take a few photos that represent how much fun you’re having, or if you’re on a hike, you might whip out your phone to take a picture of the beautiful landscape. The same notion applies when you wake up feeling great about the day or you put a lot of effort into your appearance and you want to document how good you look, in which case you would take a selfie. Taking the perfect selfie is an artform, and in part one of this series, we gave you a few tips to help you take a beautiful selfie. As we continue with part two, we will give you even more tips to make your selfie as flawless as possible.

If you’re looking for a way to look selfie-ready at all times without all of the hassle, Cherry Lash is here to help. With our eyelash extensions, you can have amazing lashes that last between three to four weeks before you have to get them refilled. Instead of spending hours in front of the mirror each morning applying false eyelashes or layer after layer of mascara, you will wake up with beautiful lashes every single day. To learn more about our eyelash extensions or to schedule an appointment with one of our lash artists, contact Cherry Lash in Las Vegas or Henderson today!

Take Selfies in the Morning

Morning is the best time to take the perfect selfie, especially if you want to capture how great your hair looks or your latest outfit. When you wake up and get ready in the morning, everything is new. Aim to take a selfie after you’ve already washed your face, applied your makeup, and done your hair. As the day wears on, all of the work you did in the morning will start to fade, so it’s best to capture your appearance at its best.

Capture the Shot From Above

Taking the perfect selfie is all about playing to your angles. The goal of the selfie is to take a flattering photo of yourself, therefore you don’t want to angle your face or your camera in a way that would make you look bad. Play around with different angles to see which one looks best for you. One suggestion we recommend is holding the phone so that the bottom is level with your eyes. The high angle will have a slimming effect on your face. From there, you can experiment to see which angle you like the most, whether it’s with your chin tucked down and your eyes angled upwards, a photo from the side, or another unique angle.

Don’t Over Edit Your Photos

Once you take a selfie that you like, the next step is to edit the photo and post it on social media. That being said, editing isn’t always necessary, and if you do decide to edit, you always want to make the least amount of changes as possible. The best way to edit your photos is to find a filter that you like. When you apply a filter, it is added to your whole photo, making it easy to get a flattering tone that you like without the risk of over-editing.

Take Advantage of Your Natural Expressions

Instead of trying to force a smile or turning your lips down into a pout, try playing around with your natural expressions. When you try too hard to get the perfect look, it can leave your expression looking forced. If you want your selfie to stand out and look like you pulled it from the inner pages of a magazine, it’s a good idea to let your face be natural. You can try different techniques like exhaling through your mouth as you take the photo or saying the word “yes” in your head. By playing around with your natural expressions, you’re more likely to take a photo that doesn’t look posed.

Get a Manicure and Pedicure

Give everyone the idea that you just got back from a fabulous vacation by coming to school with a fresh mani-pedi! Not only is this a way to make sure that your nails are looking their best, but it is also a relaxing treatment that can help calm some of your nerves before the year begins. Choose a color that looks fresh and clean, such as solid pastel or a French manicure.

Have a DIY Spa Night

When you go back to school, you’re sure to have your fair share of stressful assignments, so it’s vital that you have a few stress-relieving remedies in your arsenal. One way that you can prepare for your school year is to have a DIY spa night! Spas are all about pampering your mind and your body, but they are not always the most practical solution if you’re on a budget. Luckily, there are numerous recipes for DIY spa treatments online. Invite a few of your closest friends over and have a fun night making mud masks, sugar scrubs, and even your own bath bombs using your favorite essential oils!

Stock up Your Wardrobe for Fall

Back-to-school season is around the same time all of the stores start switching out their summer clothes for all of their fall lines. Whether you’re trying to update your entire wardrobe with the latest fall fashions or you need a few staples pieces that will make your closet feel fresh, there’s no better time to go shopping! You can make it an event by taking some of your friends and competing to find the best outfits, or you can try your hand at thrifting to find some unique pieces that nobody else will have.

Adjust Your Sleep Routine

As much as you don’t want to think about getting up early and going to school after nights of staying up late and sleeping in, it’s important that you adjust your sleep schedule to maximize your rest. Getting enough sleep is important to help manage stress levels, eating habits, and a variety of other health-related factors. It’s a good idea to start adjusting your sleep schedule one or two weeks before your first day of school. Slowly start going to bed earlier and use an alarm to make sure you get up on time the next day. Before you know it, your body will have adjusted to the sleep schedule you will need for when you start school.

Treat Yourself to Eyelash Extensions

One way that you can increase the amount of sleep you get each night is to decrease the amount of time it takes for you to get ready in the morning. With eyelash extensions, you won’t have to spend hours in front of your mirror perfecting your makeup. Instead, you will be able to sleep in a few extra minutes and wake up with effortlessly gorgeous lashes! Whether you want to look like you’re headed to the red carpet or you want to enhance your natural beauty, eyelash extensions are completely customizable. If you are interested in having amazing lashes day after day, contact Cherry Lash and speak to one of our lash artists about eyelash extensions today!

When you go to your eyelash extension appointment, the lash artist will take the time to discuss the look that you want to achieve with your new lashes. During this time, or even prior to the appointment, you want to take the opportunity to speak with your lash artist and ask them questions about what to expect, their credentials, and any other questions that you may feel that it is important to know. At Cherry Lash, our goal is to help you feel comfortable while also providing you with amazing lashes. We offer three base lash extension packages and from there, our lash artists will work with you to customize the look to your preference. If you are interested in receiving the lashes that you have always dreamed about, contact Cherry Lash to book an appointment at one of our two convenient locations. In the meantime, continue reading below for six questions that you should ask your lash artist.

What are your qualifications?

Before you let your lash artist start work on your eyes, it’s important to know whether or not they have reputable qualifications. Believe it or not, but some lash studios don’t require their artists to receive any sort of formal training before they start applying lashes. Luckily, at Cherry Lash, all of our lash artists go through rigorous training to ensure that your new eyelash extensions look gorgeous!

What should I expect?

If you’ve never had eyelash extensions before, you may feel a little nervous, especially if you don’t like people being near your eyes. It’s a good idea to ask your lash artist what you can expect when they are applying your new lashes. Understanding the process will help to calm your nerves and make you feel more comfortable during the application.

How should I care for my new eyelash extensions?

Once you receive eyelash extensions, you can’t just forget about them until it’s time to get them refilled. There are certain ways that you need to care for them to ensure that they not only look nice, but that they also last as long as they possibly can. It’s important that you ask your lash artist what you can do to care for your lash extensions to ensure that they look their best.

Is there anything that I should avoid doing?

One of the best things about eyelash extensions is that you don’t have to avoid any of your normal activities. With lash extensions, you can go swimming, go to the gym, and even sleep without having to worry about ruining your gorgeous lashes. However, the first 24 to 48 hours after your lash extensions application, there are some restrictions to what you can and cannot do. Before you leave your appointment, it’s important that you have a clear understanding of what is not allowed.

Why do you love lashing?

The reason you want to ask your lash artist about why they love lashing is because you want an artist who is passionate about giving their clients gorgeous, thick eyelashes. Someone who sees lashing as more than a career is someone who will work hard to provide you with the amazing lashes that you deserve. Not to mention, it’s a good way to get to know your lash artist and find out what they see as the most rewarding part of their profession.

At Cherry Lash, we are passionate about providing our clients with amazing lashes that they will love. If you are ready to receive beautiful eyelash extensions, then contact Cherry Lash in Henderson or Las Vegas to schedule an appointment today!
