Celebrating International Women’s Day with the Velour Community
At Velour, we know that beauty is more than just lashes—it’s a celebration of confidence, self-expression, and empowerment. This International Women’s Day, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible women in our community. We asked some of our Velour ambassadors what IWD means to them and how they use beauty to feel their most powerful.
How do you celebrate International Women’s Day, and what does it mean to you?
"I celebrate by reflecting on and recognizing the accomplishments of so many women in my life. Celebrating their strength, their perseverance, their achievements. I’ll often share quotes to my Story, or content by both female creators and female-owned businesses💜
What Women’s Day means to me is empowerment! It means it totally ROCKS to be a woman! We’re beautiful, unstoppable and so bad ass and nothing can take that away from us🙌🏼 "
Which Velour lash makes you feel the most empowered, and why?
"Lately it’s been the self-stick lash clusters as part of your collab with @cgonzalezbeauty!
Am literally obsessed with them! With these I feel amazing both all glammed up or bare faced. Something that can make me feel confident and powerful with no effort is huge, because it allows me to be in charge! I take a leap even if I don’t know how things will turn out, and at the same time not being afraid of the fall. Because a sure way that fear dies is to face it. That’s how you own your power💪🏻"

Final Touch gives that extra boost without effort, making it the perfect finishing detail to any moment where I want to feel my best."
