Ever since I had my lashes done for my wedding, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of fake eyelashes. However, I always doubted my ability to apply them correctly without making a mess. With eyelash extensions costing a fortune and requiring long-term commitment, I opted to explore some budget-friendly alternatives. After testing several options, here’s what I found.
Before you dive in, here are some handy tips: Start by applying a light coat of mascara to your natural lashes to help the falsies adhere better. Next, hold the lashes up to your eyes and trim them to the right length—better to be a tad short than to have them brushing your brows! Apply glue to the lashes and just above your lash line (avoid your actual lashes), adding extra glue to the edges and the center. Let the glue sit for a few seconds for better adhesion before placing them on your lash line. I found it easier to use my fingers for application rather than the tweezers that often come with kits.
Now, let’s get to the fun part!
-
Eylure Faux Mink Lashes
These beauties come in under $10, and once I trimmed them, they applied like a charm. They included a tiny tube of glue, and the applicator was wonderfully designed—no mess at all! They went on perfectly in one try. I didn’t even need to add mascara because these lashes were stunning on their own. They felt slightly noticeable, but not bothersome at all. I’m officially hooked! -
3D Mink Lashes
These handmade 3D lashes were a bit pricier at $12, but they were way too dramatic for my taste. My kids even said I looked “scary.” Even for a night out, they felt heavy and over-the-top, leaving a prominent dark line. I won’t be using these again, but some might love the bold look. -
Elf Natural Eye Lashes
When I first saw the Elf Natural Eye Lashes, I thought they wouldn’t do much for me as they seemed too sparse. However, these turned out to be my absolute favorite! At under $4, they provided a natural, elongated look without the fake appearance. No mascara was necessary, and I was thrilled with the lack of a heavy lash line. I’m planning to stock up on these! -
Ardell Magnetic Lashes
The Ardell Magnetic lashes were the priciest at $13, and unfortunately, they were my least favorite. The application process was cumbersome; you place a strip on top of your natural lashes and another below, with magnets meant to keep them together. They took ages to apply and didn’t sit correctly, making them look awkward and fake. I was disappointed, as I expected them to be easier than glue-ons. I’d much prefer sticking with my reliable $4 options.
If you’ve been curious about trying fake lashes, I recommend picking up an affordable pair from your local store and giving it a go. While it might be tempting to choose dramatic styles, opt for natural-looking lashes for the best effect.
