Below is a bit about each type of False Eyelashes, Including there Pro's and Con's:
Individual Eyelashes - Enhance your natural beauty by sliding inbetween your own lashes - A semi-permanent glue is used (normally a Latex Free Glue) - Can stay on longer (up to 2 weeks) - Suit ALL types of Eye Shapes - Can add less or more when it comes to applying them - GREAT for people who don't wanna have heavy lids from Strip Lashes - Very light and natural feeling/looking. - Used A LOT for weddings and school formals (where the event is longer then 4 Hours - Have to use a Glue Remover or Baby Oil to take them off - Glue comes in two different colours, clear or black (dark) - Can come in sythetic hair or human hair |
Strip Eyelashes - Much more of a temporary option (2-4 Hours) - Can easily be removed by lifting one end and slighting pulling it off, very pain free and easy to remove - Can look "weird" or "heavy" on smaller eyes depending on the type of style (such as, big full lashes) - Glue may have Latex in it (tends to in strip lash glue to keep them stuck for hours) - Comes in all kinds of ways/types such as, feather strips, natural looking, glitter strips, big fluffy party strips, with diamonds on the tips, etc... - Glue come in two different colours, clear or black (dark) - Heaps of events that are short and sweet, these are used more often (birthday parties, dinners, afternoon events, etc...) - Can come in sythetic hair or human hair |
- Such as; is your Make-Up just for a Photoshoot (1-2 Hours), a Wedding (12+ Hours), a Gala Event (5+ Hours), etc..
