An overview of types of false eyelashes

False eyelashes can be classified into three types: individual single lashes, individual flare lashes, and strip lashes. Understanding the differences between eyelash options is important before purchasing and using false eyelashes. 

Strip Lashes

Strip Lashes are most commonly used by beginners. A variety of materials and styles are available in strip lashes from brands such as Velour and Ardell. Mink is one of the highest quality lashes on the market and are 100% natural. Some brands use synthetic materials like silk or plastic, while others use human hair. Color and style choices will be determined by your personal preference, budget, and desired look. You can trim strip lashes to achieve the length you desire or to fit your eyes perfectly. It's best to avoid trimming too much too soon for most beginners since it takes a few practice trials to perfect the skill. 

Individual Flare Lashes

It is more common for makeup artists to use individual flare lashes, rather than strip lashes that are applied all at once. The lengthening and filling of the lashes are greatly improved with them. Typically, flare eyelashes come in 3 different lengths and can be applied by someone who has much more control over how they will look. 

Individual Single Lashes 

Single lashes are used primarily for eyelash extensions and are more permanent than the first two types of lashes. False lashes are intended to be temporarily worn. Because single lashes require so much time and expertise to apply correctly, they are usually applied by a professional in a salon. In much the same way as flare lashes, they can be used to fill in sparse areas or to make lashes look fuller.

A person's choice of faux eyelashes should take into account the application process and whether they intend to wear them temporarily or permanently. It is extremely important to choose the correct type of false eyelashes based on the look you are going for as well as the reason you are looking for them.
