Get Ready for Wedding, Prom, and Grad Season: Your Ultimate Beauty Timeline

Spring and summer are packed with major life events—weddings, proms, graduations, and other milestone celebrations. Whether you’re the bride, a bridesmaid, a prom queen in the making, or walking across the stage to receive your diploma, you want to look and feel your best. But when should you start booking your beauty appointments? And how long do these services last? We’ve got the ultimate guide to ensure you’re picture-perfect for your big day.

Your brows and lashes frame your face, enhancing your natural beauty and ensuring your makeup looks seamless. Motherpluckers specializes in expert brow shaping, brow lamination, and lash lifts, ensuring long-lasting, effortless beauty for your special event and beyond.

Brow Shaping & Tinting

When to Book: At least 2-3 days before your event. If you're new to brow shaping or tinting, try scheduling a trial appointment 4–6 weeks before to make sure you love the results.

How Long It Lasts: Brow shaping lasts 4–6 weeks , while tinting lasts up to 2 weeks , depending on your skin type and aftercare.

Why It’s Essential: Defined, well-shaped brows balance your features and elevate your look, whether you’re going for a soft glam or bold makeup.

Brow Lamination

When to Book: 3-5 days before the event. Like brow tinting, a trial run roughly 8 weeks before can be helpful.

How Long It Lasts: Typically 6–8 weeks with proper care.

Why It’s Essential: This service tames unruly brows and gives you that full, fluffy, brushed-up look without the need for gels or pencils. Try our Motherpluckers Brow Styling Soap if you are t quite ready to commit to a lamination. 

Lash Lift & Tint

When to Book: Min. 3 days before your event to allow the lift to settle perfectly.

How Long It Lasts: A lash lift lasts 6–8 weeks , while tinting lasts 2-3 weeks .

Why It’s Essential: You get that wide-eyed, mascara-like effect without worrying about smudging or reapplying throughout your event. Book your Lash Lift & Tint to keep your lashes looking flawless without makeup.

A flawless, streak-free tan makes all the difference in photos.

When to Apply: 2-3 days before to ensure you are giving enough time to let the tanner develop and then wash off.

How Long It Lasts: About 7–10 days , depending on your skincare routine.

Why It’s Essential: A subtle, natural-looking glow enhances your overall look and evens out your skin tone. We use NUDA Sunless Tanning , a high-quality, Canadian-made sunless tanning brand that gives you a flawless, natural glow (and actually smells good).
