False Eye Lashes or Lash Extensions

Don’t panic…

False lashes and lash extensions are both options for achieving longer, thicker, and more dramatic eyelashes. Here are some key differences between the two:

False eyelashes:

  • False lashes are temporary, meaning they are applied for a single occasion and then removed.
  • They are typically made of synthetic fibers or human hair and come in a variety of styles, from natural to dramatic.
  • False lashes are typically applied with a glue or adhesive, which is applied to the base of the false lash and then pressed onto the natural lashes.
  • They can be worn for a full day or evening, but they will need to be removed before bed.
  • False lashes are a good option for special occasions or events, but they are not suitable for everyday wear.

Lash extensions

  • Lash extensions are semi-permanent, meaning they can last for several weeks or months before they need to be touched up or replaced.
  • They are applied individually to the natural lashes, using a special adhesive.
  • Lash extensions are typically made of synthetic fibers and come in a variety of lengths, thicknesses, and curls to create a customized look.
  • They are a good option for everyday wear, as they require minimal maintenance and can be worn while showering, swimming, and exercising.
  • However, they do require regular touch-ups to maintain the desired fullness and length.

Ultimately, the choice between false lashes and lash extensions will depend on your personal preferences and needs. Both options can give you longer, thicker, and more dramatic eyelashes, but false lashes are more temporary and require more maintenance, while lash extensions are semi-permanent and require less maintenance.
