Eyelash Application Options
Let’s dive into the basics of false eyelashes.
False eyelashes have mink lashes, silk lashes, synthetic lashes, faux mink lashes, human hair lashes, and horse fur lashes.
There are also lash application options: strip lashes, eyelash extension, cluster lashes.
Types Of False Eyelashes
Mink lashes
Mink lashes are the most natural-looking option because they are fine-crafted to offer a wispy lash that blends with the lash line in an effortless but dramatic way. Generally, many choose this option when they want a dramatic lash look as they appear thicker than other lash forms due to the shorter tapering effect. Mink eyelashes are the first choice an popular on the market.
Silk lashes
Despite the name, silk eyelash is not made of real silk. These extensions are made of man-made fibers. The name goes because of the texture such extension has.
Synthetic lashes
Like faux mink lashes, synthetic lashes are made from PBT material, so they are pre-shaped to curl. Since they are synthetic, they are not very comfortable to wear and may only last 10 times with proper care.
Although they may not be as comfortable to wear as other options, artificial lashes are economical if you only plan to wear them for special events.
Faux mink lashes
It is called Faux Mink Eyelashes because it is a great substitute for mink eyelashes. Its comfort and style are similar to mink eyelashes.
So if you want the wearing effect and comfort of mink eyelashes, but the budget is not enough, you can choose faux mink eyelashes.
Human hair lashes
Human hair false lashes are handmade using real human hair for a truly natural look. No only that, these ethically sourced false eyelashes are all completely cruelty-free and suitable for vegans.
Horse fur lashes
It is made of professional grade horse hair. The hair is from the tail part of horses. It is totally cruelty free. Horse hair lashes go through very strict process and ultraviolet sterilization procedure. Horse hair lashes are more wispy and fluffy than mink fur lashes. So the cost is high. If you want to build high-end lashes business, you can consider about this material.
Strip lashes
Pairs are single lashes combined and sold in strips, with many styles to choose from. They cover the eyelids and come in different lengths and fullness. They are convenient for travel and changing lash styles, and you just need to glue them on yourself.
However, they are a little tricky to apply, and the process will go much more smoothly if you follow a few simple steps and practice a little.
Single Eyelash Extension
Single eyelash extensions are made up of single lashes that you can add to sparse areas or all over to add fullness. One of the main features of individual false lashes is that they can easily transition from a daytime look to an evening look and can last for a while without falling out, depending on the style you want to achieve.
Cluster lashes
While cluster lashes are very similar to single lashes, they have more lashes per lash. Cluster lashes come in bunches, so they take less time to put on than single lashes. Cluster lashes are great for accentuating your eye makeup, such as to highlight your specific eye shape, and the best part is that cluster lashes won’t fall off the corners of your eyelids like full lashes do. Save time and get the same effect as eyelash extensions.
