What are false lashes?
False lashes are artificial lashes that you temporarily apply beneath your own lashes or on your eyelids to enhance your look. They come in countless styles, from subtle and natural to full and dramatic.
False lashes have been popular in the beauty world for decades, but thanks to new technologies like press-on lashes and magnetic lashes they're more accessible than ever. These days anyone — even without experience — can apply perfect lashes in minutes.
Types of false lashes: which are there?
There are roughly three types of false lashes:
1. Classic strip false lashes
The traditional false lashes that you apply as a single strip along your lash line with special lash glue. Available in countless styles. Suitable for reuse.
2. Cluster lashes (press-on lashes)
Cluster lashes are small bundles of false lashes that you apply individually beneath your own lashes at 1 to 2 mm from the lash line for a more personalised look. The latest generation — pre-glued cluster lashes — has built-in glue and is therefore super quick to apply.
At LuxuryQueenLashes our press-on cluster lashes are available in three styles with a C curl: Natural Wispy, Balanced Volume and Full Glam. Each box contains 36 clusters in the sizes 10mm, 12mm and 14mm.
3. Magnetic lashes
Magnetic false lashes attach with small magnets, completely without glue. Ideal for people with sensitive skin or an allergy to lash glue.
How do you apply false lashes?
Applying false lashes differs per type, but the basics are always the same:
- Preparation: Start with clean, dry lashes. Remove all make-up and oil.
- Measuring: Lay the false lashes along your eye to check whether they fit.
- Applying: With press-on cluster lashes you apply them beneath your own lashes at 1 to 2 mm from the line — the glue is already on them. With classic lashes you first apply glue to the strip. With magnetic lashes no glue is needed.
- Finish: Use an eyeliner or mascara to hide any gaps.
How long do false lashes last?
The wear time of false lashes depends on the type:
- Classic strip lashes: 1 day per use, reusable up to 10-15 times.
- Press-on cluster lashes: Most customers wear them several days in a row — exactly how long depends on your skin and routine.
- Magnetic lashes: 1 day per use, reusable dozens of times.
Are false lashes harmful?
Quality false lashes are not harmful to your own lashes, as long as you apply and remove them correctly. Keep the following in mind:
- Always use a gentle, oil-based remover to remove lashes.
- Never force — don't pull lashes off roughly.
- Give your lashes a rest now and then, especially if you wear them daily.
- Always buy quality products from reliable brands.
Which false lashes are best?
The 'best' false lashes don't exist — it depends entirely on your look, routine and preference:
- Want ease and long-lasting hold? Choose press-on cluster lashes.
- Want no glue? Go for magnetic lashes.
- Want a classic look for a night out? Strip false lashes are ideal.
