False eyelashes have become a must-have beauty staple for makeup lovers around the world. Whether you're heading to a special event, a photo shoot, or just want to feel extra confident on a regular day, false eyelashes (often called "falsies") can transform your entire look in seconds.
At N'viO, we believe that beauty is all about expression, and false eyelashes give you one of the easiest and most effective ways to enhance your natural features. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the world of false eyelashes—from the types available and how to apply them, to tips for choosing the right pair and caring for them properly.
What Are False Eyelashes?
False eyelashes are synthetic or natural fiber lashes that are designed to be worn over your natural lashes to create a fuller, longer, or more defined appearance. They're applied using a special lash adhesive and can be temporary or semi-permanent depending on the style and application method.
Types of False Eyelashes
Not all lashes are created equal. Understanding the different types will help you pick the ones that best suit your needs:
1. Strip Lashes
These are the most common type. They come as a full band of lashes that you apply across your natural lash line. They’re great for beginners and come in various styles, from natural to dramatic.
2. Individual Lashes
These consist of small lash clusters or single strands that can be applied where needed. They offer more customization but require a bit more skill.
3. Magnetic Lashes
Instead of glue, these lashes use tiny magnets to attach to a magnetic eyeliner or to each other. They are reusable and easier to apply than traditional strip lashes.
4. Lash Extensions
These are semi-permanent lashes applied by a professional technician. While not a DIY option, they offer long-lasting results and require regular maintenance.
Materials Used in False Eyelashes
False eyelashes come in various materials. The most common include:
-
Synthetic Fibers: Budget-friendly and great for dramatic styles.
-
Silk Lashes: Softer and lighter than synthetic lashes, often with a glossy finish.
-
Mink Lashes: Made from real mink fur, they are ultra-soft and natural-looking but not cruelty-free.
-
Faux Mink: A vegan alternative to mink lashes with a similar natural appearance.
At N'viO, we proudly offer cruelty-free and vegan-friendly options, so you can look stunning while staying conscious of your values.
How to Apply False Eyelashes: Step-by-Step
Applying falsies may seem intimidating at first, but with a little practice, it becomes second nature. Here’s a simple guide:
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Lashes
Curl your natural lashes and apply a coat of mascara. This helps the falsies blend in more naturally.
Step 2: Measure and Trim
Hold the lash strip against your lash line. If it’s too long, trim the outer end with small scissors.
Step 3: Apply Adhesive
Apply a thin line of lash glue along the band. Wait 20–30 seconds until it becomes tacky.
Step 4: Apply the Lashes
Using tweezers or your fingers, place the lash strip as close as possible to your natural lash line. Start from the center, then press down the inner and outer corners.
Step 5: Blend
Gently press the falsies and natural lashes together. Touch up with eyeliner to conceal the band, and you’re done!
How to Remove and Clean False Lashes
Proper removal is essential to protect your natural lashes and keep falsies in good condition:
-
Use an oil-free makeup remover or micellar water to gently loosen the glue.
-
Peel the lashes off slowly from the outer corner.
-
Clean the lash band with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or micellar water.
-
Store them in their case to retain their shape for the next use.
With proper care, high-quality lashes from N'viO can be reused up to 10–15 times!
Tips for Choosing the Right Lashes
The right lashes will enhance your look, not overpower it. Here’s how to pick the best pair:
-
For a natural look: Opt for wispy, shorter lashes with a clear band.
-
For dramatic impact: Choose long, voluminous styles with a black band.
-
For almond-shaped eyes: Most styles work well, especially winged ones.
-
For round eyes: Look for crisscross or cat-eye lashes to elongate the shape.
-
For hooded eyes: Go for lightweight lashes with a curl to open up the eyes.
