How to Protect Your Lashes at Coachella if You Wear Lash Extensions
Well, it’s back and it’s sold out. LA’s favorite music festival has managed to not only get through the pandemic but thrive even with the cancellation of Kanye West. It was the talk in West Hollywood. However, if you are a Coachella rookie and you got eyelash extensions for the event, here are some tips for you to protect your investment.
#1. Lash Late
If you’re trying to do both weekends, you should have gotten your lashes done yesterday and not a minute sooner. We are influencer friendly here and we know how important those camera-ready shots are. Two weekends in make-up, sun and dust can make you look crazy by weekend two, but if you’re a seasoned lasher, you know this.
#2. Wear Big Sunglasses
This may seem so obvious, but some people have no idea how much this helps with dust. Coachella is surrounded by low desert, so people assume it isn’t going to be windy. But, not so fast. The San Gorgonio Pass causes a “Venturi Effect” (another term for a wind phenomenon) that shoots from North palm Springs to Indio. This is only intensified as the desert floor heats up during the day. So, basically, consider it a blessing if you get those gorgeous sunset photos and you aren’t eating dust.
#3. Baseball Caps win over wide-brimmed Hats
I know. Your wide-brimmed hat makes every outfit cuter but when that thing blows off your head a few times or you get tired of removing it to get through the drink lines, you’ll end up not wearing it. A baseball cap that fits just enough can be removed for photos but still protects your lashes from the sun. BTW, there is no shade. At least, not where the fun is.
#4. Wash Your Lashes
I shouldn’t have to tell you to wash your face at night but just know if you don’t wash that dirt off, don’t expect your lashes to reciprocate the love. Use a gentle foaming cleanser and then wait until your lashes are dry before brushing them out.
#5. Have Fun!
At the end of the day, this is so much more important than what your lashes look like. Happy Music Festing!
