Product Information

Next, place the lashes on a clean surface and use tweezers to pull away any dried glue. Apply make-up remover to a cotton wool pad and hold it over the lashes for 30 seconds, then gently swipe to remove any make-up residue, dirt and glue. For a more precise clean, use a cotton swab soaked in make-up remover. Want to add natural-looking length to lashes? These semi-wispy, fluttery half-lashes will do all that and more. They’re easy to apply and add the ideal amount of volume. Plus, as our tester explains, “the lash extension is very lightweight — it didn’t feel like there was anything on top of my natural lashes.” Overall, these lashes are great for a first-timer who wants to add a little oomph to their look. “[They] would be wonderful for a night out, an event, or [a] stage performance,” our tester adds. “They're a bit much for every day and definitely don't look natural, but if that's not what you're looking for, they're a great option!” Our tester also notes that this glue went on “fairly seamlessly and didn't clump up on [my] skin.” This is one of our favorite things about this lash adhesive, as it pairs well with other products like eyeshadow, eyeshadow primer, and eye cream. The bottom line: You won’t have to worry about it pilling or flaking.

We asked 152 women to trial 12 different strip lashes at home over a two-week period. They tested a variety of styles from natural, to lengthening and volumising, assessing how easy they were to apply, how comfortable they felt, how they looked, the consistency of the glue and how well they lasted. Synthetic lashes are normally cheaper. They give a shinier, artificial appearance but work well for dramatic, voluminous styles as they keep their curl when exposed to water (so you can get them wet without having to worry). What should you consider when choosing false strip lashes? As for the application process, it couldn’t be simpler. “I thought this process was much easier than the other lashes I tested,” one reviewer comments. We will note that the other tester points out that the lash band itself isn’t curved, so it may not be the perfect fit for every eye shape. With that being said, these are great lashes for anyone with straight lash lines. (If you have a more curved lash line, we suggest using half lashes as they tend to be easier to place.) And as for our favorite thing about these lashes: They are reusable and can be worn up to 10 times. Most false eyelashes can be reused multiple times. In fact, some lashes are actually made to be re-worn, including the Colourpop Falsies Faux Mink Lashes, Lilly Lashes Butterfl’Eyes 3D Faux Mink Half Lashes, and the lashes in the Lashify Control Kit. To properly reuse falsies, be sure to clean them after each use. To clean them, wet a Q-tip or cotton round with face wash or false lash cleaner. From there, gently wipe away any leftover glue from the lash. Once the lashes are clean, let them dry. You’ll be able to use them 15 to 20 times if cared for in this way. If you’re a first-timer or newbie lash user, don’t go for a super heavy full strip of lashes. Opt for lighter, small lashes (or sections of them) that won’t weigh down your lashes or feel uncomfortable. To make application even easier, Hernandez advises bending the lash in half while the glue is drying to soften it and tilting your head to look down into a mirror for the best visibility. The LoveSeen Trio lashes, for example, are really lightweight and are a joy to wear.

These faux mink lashes are the crème de la crème for more than one reason. First, they’re made with soft, 100 percent synthetic fibers that look just like real lashes. On top of that, they add gorgeous wispy length and definition without being too dramatic. And according to one of our testers, “they’re very lightweight and comfortable on the eyes. You barely feel them, and they don’t inhibit your ability to see.” Plus, these lashes were designed to fit all lash lines, which means you don’t have to measure or trim them. To make your lashes last longer, celebrity makeup artist Melissa Hernandez suggests removing them from the trap by pressing your thumb in the center of the lash and gently dragging it downwards."This technique helps maintain the shape of the lash and prevents it from tearing."

False eyelashes amplify eyes like nothing else. A good pair of lashes are easy to apply and manipulate, should you need to fit to your eye. Once there, the best false eyelashes stay put until it's time to take them off. Despite all the options out there, it can be hard to find a pair that can do it all. Mink and human-hair options need a bit more care and attention as any liquid may cause them to lose their shape. Try to pull away as much glue as possible and if necessary, clean the lash line with a cotton bud, avoiding the strands. Do false strip lashes damage your own lashes? So, determined to figure out how to put on false ashes the right way, we got expert makeup artists to spill their best lash application tips. Read on to learn how to apply false eyelashes like a pro, plus 9 tips to keep your falsies looking fresh! 1. Prep Your Natural LashesThe most popular types are human hair, mink fur and synthetic. Human hair and mink lashes are generally pricier but give a softer, more natural appearance. They feel lightweight but can lose their shape when wet, such as when you’re cleaning them, so may need handling with care. The more important determinant is strength. Though you might naturally gravitate towards the stronger formulas, Thomas says it's important for beginners to start with something a little more delicate, working their way up to the stronger, longer-lasting options the professionals rely on.

Lilly Lashes is a fan-favorite brand for a reason. For starters, they make incredible lashes that are suited for all eye shapes. A major selling point is their flexibility — they can be altered to fit different lash lines, including almond, hooded, downturned, upturned, and more. On top of that, the application process is straightforward and easy, especially given that these lashes are so voluminous. While they might seem heavy due to the number of fibers on each strip, our tester says they’re almost weightless. “Despite the lashes being long enough to hit my eyebrows, the product feels extremely lightweight.” There are a few options for removing lash glue from lashes: An oil-based makeup remover, a dedicated lash cleansing solution, or just physically removeing glue with cotton swabs,” explains Bychkova. “The first two options are the safest for your falsies, as physical removal might bend the lash permanently.” To remove the glue, dampen a cotton pad with an oil-based makeup remover or lash cleansing solution and gently rub lashes until the glue is gone. These are clusters of strands joined together at one end. Apply them to fill in sparse areas, add more length or customise your look. Eyelash extensions It’s not advisable to wear strip lashes for over 24 hours as they weigh down your natural ones and could trap potentially eye-irritating bacteria. How do I remove and clean my false strip lashes?In terms of removing false eyelashes, the best way to do so is slowly and carefully, so you don’t pull out natural lashes. “I remove false lashes by gently peeling them off, starting from the outside corner,” says celebrity makeup artist Andrew Velázquez. “If there happens to be glue residue, I apply an oil-based eye makeup remover to rub off the rest.” According to Bychkova, the lifespan of your falsies depends on one simple thing: How well you care for them. “If you clean your false eyelashes properly after each wear and store them in a container that doesn't bend them, you could have a good 10 to 20 wears out of a single set,” she says. There are a few ways to clean false lashes. “First, clean the glue out of the lashes by washing them with a foam face wash,” says Sima Mosbacher, a lash expert and founder of Urban Doll. “If you’re removing a stronger glue, I would suggest using an oil solution. You can also use a dish soap.” Since it takes some time to get the hang of applying these lashes, this kit is not recommended for beginners. Just like every home needs a solid foundation, every pair of lashes needs the same. According to Bychkova, the best way to apply fake eyelashes is by first measuring the length of the band compared to your lid. “Often, you might need to cut the lash to fit your eye size,” she explains. “Use small manicure scissors and always cut starting from the outer corner of the lash (i.e., from the side where the lashes are the longest).” (We will note that you won’t have to cut the Lilly Lashes Butterfl’Eyes 3D Faux Mink Half Lashessince they’re half the size of typical falsies.)
