False Eyelash

False eyelashes, also known as false lashes or strip lashes, are cosmetic accessories designed to enhance the appearance of natural eyelashes. They are typically made from a variety of materials and applied to the lash line using adhesive.

Material

• Synthetic Fibers: Commonly acrylic or nylon, these are affordable and offer a wide range of styles. They are generally less natural-looking than human hair options.
• Human Hair: Made from sterilized human hair, these lashes provide a more natural appearance and can be styled with mascara.
• Mink Fur: Considered a luxury option, mink fur lashes are lightweight, soft, and offer a very natural look. Ethical concerns regarding sourcing have led to increased popularity of synthetic alternatives.
• Silk: Silk lashes offer a natural sheen and a lightweight feel, falling between synthetic and mink in terms of appearance and cost.
• Faux Mink: A synthetic material designed to mimic the look and feel of mink fur, offering a cruelty-free alternative.
