I'm looking forward to the hair and makeup for the wedding and pre-shoot ♡

On the day of the wedding and the pre-shoot, it's such a rare opportunity to be made up by a professional makeup artist, so you must be really looking forward to it ♡

I want to be made up to be extraordinarily cute and beautiful, feeling like I'm not even myself!

＼Be Careful／ Brides prone to panda eyes should take caution!

Many brides tend to just convey their preferred vibe regarding makeup and leave the finer details to the hair and makeup artist…

However, there are points that are definitely worth paying attention to.

That point is regarding [mascara].

Specifically, those who feel that they often end up with "panda eyes (a state where mascara smudges under the lower eyelid)" when doing their makeup regularly should be careful.

Weddings are often filled with emotional and funny moments, leading to tears, which can cause you to rub your eyes more than usual.

Therefore, the risk of panda eyes is much higher than normal!

In severe cases, the makeup assistant may touch it up, but there might not be enough time for frequent checks.

Since weddings involve taking lots of photos, it's shocking if you end up with panda eyes instead of looking fresh and beautiful throughout the day.

Before a pre-shoot that involves long hours of photography, there's also a risk of panda eyes.

This is especially true during summer kimono shoots, as sweat can easily make the mascara run.

In the case of pre-shoots, there are often times when only the photographer accompanies you without a makeup artist present.

If the photographer is male, he might not notice your panda eyes…!

In the worst-case scenario, fallen mascara fibers might even get in your eye, causing it to become red.

The makeup artist's mascara may not suit you…!?

The cause of panda eyes during the wedding or pre-shoot could be that "the mascara used by the hair and makeup artist does not suit you."

☑ Downward-facing eyelashes or inverted eyelashes

☑ Hard to curl lashes with an eyelash curler

☑ Large tear bags

☑ Prone to sweating on the face

If you fit any of these criteria, you probably have had experiences of "not finding the right mascara" more than once or twice.

Many of you might have tried various brands of mascara and finally found one that doesn’t cause panda eyes!

This is why there’s a high possibility that the mascara the hair and makeup artist has may not suit you.

If you're worried, bring your own mascara!

If you are prone to panda eyes or know which mascaras work for you and which do not, I recommend bringing "your own mascara" on the day of your wedding or pre-shoot ♡

If you use your familiar mascara that guarantees you won’t have panda eyes, you can relax on the day itself.

Just hand your mascara to the hair and makeup artist and say, “Please use this mascara” ♩

Eyelash extensions are an option too ♡

If you’re emotional but absolutely don’t want to have panda eyes, you might feel anxious even with your own mascara.

In that case, consider getting eyelash extensions instead of using mascara for the big day ♡

With eyelash extensions, the worry of panda eyes is zero, which is reassuring.

The arch-nemesis of a bride's smile, panda eyes.

For brides who often end up with panda eyes, bringing your own mascara to the wedding or pre-shoot is recommended.

Let’s enjoy the best day without worrying about mascara running down ♩
