1. They come in a variety of materials.Not all false eyelashes are the same. Depending on your budget and what you feel most comfortable wearing, there are various materials to choose from, with the most popular ones being Mink, human hair, and plastic materials. Mink eyelashes are most preferred for their softness and realistic look.

2. When it comes to applying False eyelashes, Practice makes perfect. There is no denying that putting on false lashes can be a little intimidating and tricky at first(most people don’t even get it right the first time!).

3. False eyelashes help keep the delicate skin around your eyes healthy and vibrant.Let’s admit it, we’ve all been guilty of being a bit rough when removing our eye makeup, especially after wearing mascara. All the wiping and scrubbing to remove the mascara not only irritates the delicate skin around the eye but also leads to eyelash breakage and loss. On the other hand, with proper removal, lashes come off with little to no effort, hence eliminating all the eye rubbing.

4. False eyelashes help your natural lashes stay healthy and strong.While false eyelashes are not made with special ingredients to strengthen or grow your lashes, wearing them as an alternative to mascara, which is known to damage natural lashes by drying them and making them brittle, can benefit your natural lashes, allowing them to grow thicker and healthier.

5. Aggressive or incorrect removal of lashes could damage your natural lashes or cause skin irritation. Please resist the urge to pull the false lashes off, even after a long day, we don’t do that here! Instead, when it’s time to remove the falsies, simply apply a special remover on the lashes to soften the glue. This allows the lashes to slide right off gently.

And for the love of bonuses, here is a bonus fun fact. Madonna once wore a pair of lashes worth $10,000. Yes, you read that right. The Queen of pop’s false lashes were customized by Shu Uemura, and they were made from mink material and diamond crystals!
