temporary eye lash extensions

Sometimes, don't you just wish you had long, luxurious eyelashes?  There are a few options these days for extending them, getting them to grow or thickening what you already have.  I want to tell you about something non-committal but definitely worth checking out if you occasionally wish you had longer lashes. However, if you were wanting them more permanent, that's an option too. This is NOT what you have been hearing about these days. This is NOT the little hairs individually placed on the lash line and in between each eye lash. Although a great service, it is not for everyone as cost and maintenance is high; it's truly a luxury service. The Service I am referring to is Individual Eyelash clusters applied at the base of your own eye, on top of lashes, not in between. The glue used is a temporary-semi permanent style. With care, eyelashes can stay on for up to 2 weeks. Or if you prefer, one evening.  Removal is real easy. Just use an oil based eye make up remover. If you want to keep them longer, use care to remove your eye make up but do not remove the eye lashes.

It is quite possible to NOT need any mascara with a full set applied. However, if you have lighter lashes, you may see a noticeable difference in color from your lashes to the ones applied.
These are also great for just filling in between your own lashes. Perhaps you don't need a full set, double set or even a partial. Perhaps you like just a few added in to make your own look a little fuller. If you have spaces in between your lashes that you want filled in, this is for you.

As a professional, application is quick and easy; in and out of my chair in less than 15 minutes. I can do a full line or partial. I can give you natural looking or "wow, look at her eyelashes!".  But keep in mind, it is virtually undetectable. Your gal pals will notice but you won't look like you have one of those awful strip lashes applied. They always seem to loosen on one end, don't they? There's no confidence or security in those strip lashes.


 Someone needs to come up with something better. Oh! They did! Individual Eyelash Clusters!

This is also something you can definitely do on your own. They are sold at almost any beauty type of retail store. The glue is sold nearby. However, it does take practice to do your own. So, don't try the evening you need to; practice a few times a few days in advance.

Please take a look at my website. 99% of the gals in the Bridal and Model Gallery have on Individual Eyelash clusters http://www.pamperryhair.com/

You Tube!

I guess I jumped on the band wagon of doing You Tube Tutorials. On Halloween Day, My friend Kristen and I posted our first one. I did a Halloween Makeup look meanwhile she set up the camera, organized the settings for it and also she pretty much walked me through the editing. It came out better than I expected!
To keep it looking as porfessional as I can, I purchased two "Constant lights" that use flourescent bulbs. I did a practice run with another video that I am currently working on and I used the lights. I am currently learning an editing program called Sony Vegas Movie Studio 11.  There are learning curves to anything you learn, so I am going through the program step-by-step. And Thank the Lord for You Tube because that's also where I am learning tips and tricks for this program. I don't want to learn anything elaborate, I just want to produce a nice video that is clear and understandable.
For my videos, I've decided that it is best if I do "voice over" so that it is possible to shorten videos; some videos are just not necessary to be as long as originally taped, I believe.,
So, I am off to absorb myself into something new because that's How I Roll...

Wedding Pro's Luncheon in Morrisville

I love to network and meet others who show simliar interest. In case you didn't know this about me, I find many interests and pursue them. Of course, more than 17 years ago that interest was Hair Design, so I always network for that. However, over the years I've been involved in Photography, window treatments, upholstery, sewing, painting, faux painting, Rotary Club and Toastmasters International to enhance my public speaking skills.
Although I've done Wedding Hair for many, many years, I am just recently marketing and advertising on the web for WEdding Hair and Make up in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary area.  So, it would only make sense to then get involved with Wedding Professionals to Network as well. https://www.facebook.com/pam.perry3#!/PerfectWeddingGuideNC
If you have any interest in networking with other Wedding Pro's, check them out. Perfect Wedding Guide NC.
Off to my luncheon!

Fashion Make Up and Hair Cary

Doing beauty makeup is so much fun. Taking a gal who is going to a special affair, be it prom, wedding or gala, and transformer her into a "Belle" is so exciting and gratifying.  But doing fashion make up and hair is exceptionally gratifying. Why? Because quite frankly you just don't get to do it every time.  Recently I got to cover over the models eyebrows  and add blue polka dot eyelashes to that area.  Not only that, the hairstyle was fabulous. I curled the hair with a 1/4" curling iron, teased and add "padding" to help the hairstyle form.  What a wonderful time working on this look. I sure do hope another "fashion hair and makeup" look comes along soon. check out more pix at http://www.pamperryhair.com/

Wedding Hair and Make up Raleigh

Yowzers!! 2 new bridal shoots under my belt.  The first gal wanted a side swept bun she found in a magazine. Lovely!!  Her hair was nearly the perfect length but it had layers. That generally means there will be loose hairs in the bun that need to be smoothed down. There is a great trick: Invisible hair nets!!  If you ever danced or had a little dancer in your family you know what those hair nets can do for the ease of making a bun. Besides making buns, they are great for looping hair around and making designs for super hair do's!!

Asymmetrical Wedding Updo

Airbrush makeup with lashes

The make up was airbrushed on and she loved, loved, loved the coverage. This gal loves "full coverage" foundation application and was quite please with how well it looked. After applying foundation, I applied the blush and we moved on to the eyes! Her choice? Smokey!!  We used great pinks, light and dark bronzes and even used a teensy bit of black for the outer corner. After applying individual eyelashes, we moved on to the mascara. But let me share with you that this gal was quite pleased with the lashes and how well they go on and quickly I applied them. Most gals have had strip lashes put on, but I personally avoid them at all costs for many reasons but especially for poor adhesion. Maybe it's just me but I don't' have great luck. Besides, I can put on as many or as few lashes as I want.  And I love this!!
The other bridal look was more on the vintage side.  The make up application was lovely with this gal choosing a greenish blend for her eye make up. Her blue eyes really stood out.  We finished up the look with eyelashes and a soft pearl like shell colored lipstick with a pearly gloss on top.

Lovely!

Corn Row braiding

Years ago, in beauty school, we learned how to corn row hair among many other things. But honestly, corn rowing hair has never been asked of me, so I never honed that skill. Welll, with a some encouragement from a friend, I am learning so that I can sew in hair tracks for upcoming projects I am working on but also in case I need to sew in hair for a client.
It's been a whole day of practicing and it's been tough. My fingers are not used to that small movement with fine detail. I'm going to keep practicing the actual cornrow braid. Once I get comfortable enough and fast enough, I'm going to start corn row braiding with adding loose extension hair. That will help soft fine hair be a little coarser to hold the braid longer.  After I learn to corn row well enough to put in rows for sewing in hair, that's the next thing I will learn and practice. Once corn rows are in, I'll sew the tracks in.
It's a fun project and I'm glad I was encouraged to learn.

Wedding Hair and Airbrush Make up Raleigh

Shorter length gal with added hair extensions

Today's shoot was awesome!! What made it awesome?  First of all, the weather was amazing so we shot outdoors. Was an easy, 1 light set up while the model held a reflector board. Secondly, a natural makeup look came out amazing with Airbrush application on the skin. It looks flawless and doll like; as if no make up is on at all.  The coverage is amazing. Since I use silicone based make up with the airbrush machine, it lasts through sweat, tears and the accidental spilled champagne toast! Thirdly, I showed off what using hair pieces in a shorter haired gal can do to give her a super duper updo!!   Not every gal has enough hair or long enough hair to pull off an updo or half up-half down style.  The only thing to do is get good quality human hair to add to the style!!
