In this blog, we'll unravel the ins and outs of false lashes. Understanding false lash types is necessary for achieving your desired look while considering your lifestyle, skill level, and personal style. Choosing the right style of false lashes can make all the difference in your makeup routine. Whether you're a busy bee with minimal time to spare, or a beauty enthusiast looking to take your lash game to the next level, there's a perfect option out there for you. Let's dive in and uncover the perfect falsies for every skill level and preference.

Magnetic Lashes - Quick and Easy Glam

If you've ever struggled with traditional lash glue, MAGNA-LUXE LASHES are about to become your new best friend. These magnetic lashes revolutionise the false lash game with their mess-free application and effortless removal.

Picture this: tiny magnets strategically placed along the lash band, ensuring a perfect fit every time, even if trimming is needed for smaller eye shapes. This special 'Micro-Mini Magnet' system creates a luxurious and premium-quality magnetic lash that keeps its natural shape for multiple wears.

Benefits:

• Mess-free application without glue: No more waiting for lash glue to dry or dealing with messy lash glue application mishaps.
• Reusable and perfect for special occasions or daily wear: These lashes are not only convenient, but also eco-friendly. With proper care, they can be reused up to 40 wears, making them a sustainable choice for both special occasions and everyday glam.

Pro Tips:
Achieving a flawless application is easy with a few simple tricks:

• Use MAGNA LUXE LASH BOND to create your preferred liner style and shape before applying the magnetic lashes. Wait a few seconds, then apply the magnetic lashes on top. Ensure all magnets firmly adhere to the eyeliner. This not only enhances the bond but also adds an extra touch of glam to your look.
• When removing magnetic lashes, simply soak a cotton ball or REUSABLE MAKEUP REMOVING PAD in your favourite makeup remover and hold it on the eye for 10-15 seconds to loosen the magnetic liner bond. Once the lashes are removed, gently clean any magnetic bond or makeup residue from the lash band and store them back on the lash tray for safekeeping.

STRIP LASHES - VERSATILE STYLE OPTIONS

If you're ready to up your lash game with endless style possibilities, strip lashes are your go-to solution. These classic beauties come in a wide range of lengths, thicknesses, and styles, making them perfect for experimenting with different looks.

Applying strip lashes is a cinch for those comfortable with glue application. Simply coat the lash band with a thin layer of LASH GLUE, wait a few seconds for it to get tacky. Then, carefully press the lashes onto your natural lash line.

Benefits:

• Available in various lengths, thicknesses, and styles: From natural wisps to bold, dramatic designs, strip lashes cater to every preference and occasion. Whether you prefer fluttery, wispy lashes for a daytime look or voluminous, dramatic lashes for a night out, there's a strip lash style to suit your mood.
• Ideal for experimenting with different looks quickly: With strip lashes, you can switch up your look in a matter of minutes. Experiment with different styles to find your signature lash look.

Pro Tips:
To ensure a flawless application and seamless blend with your natural lashes, follow these pro tips:

• Trim the strip lashes to fit your eye shape: Measure the strip against your lash line and trim any excess from the outer corner if necessary. This ensures a comfortable fit and prevents the lashes from poking or lifting.
• Apply strip lashes close to your natural lash line: For a smooth blend, apply the strip lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible. This creates a seamless transition between the false lashes and your own, giving you a more natural-looking finish.
• Blend strip lashes with mascara: To further enhance the blend between your natural and false lashes, apply a coat of MASCARA to both sets of lashes. This helps to fuse them together and create a cohesive look that's sure to turn heads.

INDIVIDUAL LASHES - CUSTOMISABLE FOR NATURAL ENHANCEMENT

For those seeking a more personalised and natural-looking lash enhancement, INDIVIDUAL LASHES are the way to go. Unlike strip lashes, individual lashes consist of tiny, single lash strands that are applied directly onto the natural lash line.

This application process allows for precise customisation, making it ideal for those who want to enhance their natural lashes without the obvious appearance of traditional falsies.

Benefits:

• Allows for a personalised lash extension look: With individual lashes, you have complete control over the placement and density of each lash strand. This level of customisation ensures a tailor-made look that seamlessly blends with your natural lashes, creating a subtle enhancement that's uniquely you.
• Offers flexibility in volume and length: Whether you're aiming for a barely-there flutter or full-on drama, individual lashes offer unparalleled flexibility in volume and length. Mix and match different lengths and thicknesses to achieve your desired level of fullness and intensity, ensuring a look that's as subtle or bold as you like.

Pro Tips:
To achieve the most natural-looking result with individual lashes, follow these pro tips:

• Apply individual lashes sparingly: Start by applying a few individual lashes to the outer corners of your eyes, gradually adding more towards the centre if desired. This creates a tapered effect that mimics the natural lash growth pattern, resulting in a subtle, fluttery look.
• Experiment with different lengths and thicknesses: Play around with different lengths and thicknesses of individual lashes to find the perfect balance of volume and length for your desired look. Remember, less is often more when it comes to achieving a natural appearance with individual lashes.

CLUSTER LASHES - ENHANCED VOLUME AND IMPACT

For those craving customisation with volume and impact, CLUSTER LASHES are a game-changer. Unlike individual lashes, which consist of single lash strands, cluster lashes are pre-made clusters of multiple lashes grouped together on a single base.

This design allows for quicker application compared to individual lashes, making them perfect for those who want a custom lash-look without the fuss of meticulous placement.

Benefits:

• Quicker application compared to individual lashes: Thanks to their wider base and pre-made clusters, applying cluster lashes is a breeze. Simply apply a few clusters along your lash line, focusing on the outer corners for added drama, and you're ready to go.
• Offers bold volume with a customisable effect: Cluster lashes provide instant drama with their dense clusters of lashes. However, their customisable design allows you to control the level of intensity, whether you prefer a subtle boost or full-on glamour. Mix and match different cluster sizes and densities to create a tailored look that suits your style and occasion.

Pro Tips:
To maximise volume while maintaining a natural look with cluster lashes, consider the following tips:

• Focus on layering: Start by applying a few clusters of shorter lashes towards the inner corners of your eyes, gradually building up to longer clusters towards the outer corners. This creates a tapered effect that mimics the natural lash growth pattern, resulting in a more natural-looking finish.
• Proper care for extended wearability: To extend the wearability of your cluster lashes, gently remove any makeup or adhesive residue after each use and store them back on their tray to keep their shape. Avoid pulling or tugging on the lashes to prevent damage, and consider using a LASH SERUM to promote healthy lash growth and prevent premature shedding.
