Product Information

Matin is an NYC-raised celebrity makeup artist who advocates for human rights and the use of clean beauty. Additionally, this glue has a fast-drying, waterproof formula that’s infused with vitamin E, which ensures the skin around the eyes is free from irritation. One of the things we like best about this product is that it goes on white so you can see exactly where you applied it. (The formula turns clear once dry.) “The glue dries fast enough to hold, but initially has some timing flexibility, which is nice as I had to shift the lashes around a bit,” our tester explains. “Not very much [glue] was needed to hold [lashes], and it didn't leave my eyes feeling dry, which glue often does.”

Lauren Andersen is a celebrity makeup artist who has created gorgeous looks for Billie Lourd, Nina Dobrev, and Chloe Grace Moretz. The first thing to pay attention to while buying fake eyelashes is the look you are trying to achieve,” says Katya Bychkova, beauty expert and founder of the Style Sprinter blog. “Are you all about natural-looking falsies, or are you going for a dramatic look?” Once you figure that out, you can decide between three lash styles: strip lashes (like Colourpop Falsies Faux Mink Lashes), individual flares (like Lashify Control Kit), or corner/half lashes (like Lilly Lashes Butterfl’Eyes 3D Faux Mink Half Lashes). These three styles all work to create different beauty looks. 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? The skin around the eyes is extremely sensitive and delicate. That being said, it’s important to treat that skin with the utmost care. Because products (including eyelash glue, eyelash serums, and eye creams) are formulated with a range of different ingredients, taking the ingredient list into account is vital. In terms of eyelash glue, look for formulas that are hypoallergenic or contain good-for-your-skin ingredients like vitamins A, C, or E (which the Ardell DUO Brush-On Lash Adhesive has). Additionally, if you are allergic to latex, stay away from formulas that include it. ( Lily Lashes Clear Eyelash Glue has a latex-free formula). False Eyelashes

4. Adhere the Strip to Your Lash Line and Press It Into Place

If you plan to wear make-up, finish with a coat of mascara and liquid liner (this may also help to hide any gaps between the falsie and your real lash line). Can you reuse false eyelashes? Overall, these lashes are great for anyone who is looking to amp up their makeup look because they add a dramatic, fluttery flare. We will point out that they are very long, so if you’re hoping for natural-looking falsies, these might be too much for you.

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. 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.Unlike strip and individual flare options, these can only be applied by a salon professional. Individual strands are applied to the lash line and secured with semi-permanent adhesive. The shape of your eyes is also an important detail to remember when purchasing lashes. For example, if your eyes are hooded, go for lash strips that are longer in the middle to help open up the eyes. If your eyes are round, opt for curly, more voluminous lashes, like the Lilly Lashes Faux Mink Dreamy Half Lashes to accentuate the outer corners.
