False eyelashes buying guide: from style to material, one guide to natural and thick styles!

Want to instantly enlarge your eyes and enhance the sophistication of your makeup? False eyelashes are definitely an “eye makeup magic”! However, facing the various materials, styles, and lengths of false eyelashes on the market, novices are inevitably dazzled. Don’t worry, this super complete false eyelashes purchase guide will help you easily choose the right style for you and say goodbye to the embarrassment of “stepping on thunder”!

1. Look at the material first: choose the right comfort and effect
Artificial fiber (chemical fiber hair)

Features: low price, many styles, high hardness, obvious makeup.

Suitable for: stage makeup, European and American heavy makeup or short-term wear.

Disadvantages: easy to look fake, long-term wear may have a foreign body feeling.

Mink hair

Features: soft and light, the hair bundles are naturally fluffy and have a good gloss.

Suitable for: daily makeup, people who pursue natural and smart effects.

Disadvantages: high price, need to be carefully cared for (some products are not real mink hair, pay attention to identification).

Silk protein hair

Features: high simulation, soft and comfortable, fit the eye shape.

Suitable for: sensitive eyes, long-term wearers, nude makeup or pseudo-bare makeup.

Transparent stem vs. cotton stem

Transparent stem: good invisible effect, but weak support, suitable for double eyelids or narrow eyelids.

Cotton stem: soft and easy to fit, high comfort, but need to be trimmed.

Hard stem: strong support, suitable for single eyelids or people who need obvious double eyelid effect.

2. Choose styles according to eye shape to avoid “pressing eyes”
✅ Single eyelids/double eyelids: choose hard stems or styles with dense middle (such as “fishtail style”), which can support double eyelids.
✅ Round eyes: choose styles with elongated tails (such as “flying style”) to lengthen the eye shape.
✅ Narrow double eyelids: natural and slender styles (such as “baby curve”), avoid too dense and heavy eyelashes pressing the eyelids.
✅ Drooping eyes: “Cat’s eye style” with upturned tails to enhance the eye shape.
✅ European and American makeup lovers: exaggerated “feather style” or “cluster style” to enhance the three-dimensional effect.

3. How to choose the length and density?
Daily commuting: choose 8-10mm, natural and slender, single cluster or segmented style is easier to use.

Dating and partying: 10-12mm, moderate density (such as “little devil style”), slightly longer at the end of the eye.

Stage/photographing: 12mm or more, thick and exaggerated style (such as “Barbie style”), enhance the sense of presence.

Tips: Beginners are advised to start with “segmented” or “single cluster false eyelashes”, which are easier to fit than the whole one!

4. Glue and tools are also critical!
False eyelash glue:

Sensitive skin chooses “formaldehyde-free” (such as DUO glue).

Beginners can choose “translucent” or “black glue”, the latter can replace eyeliner.

Auxiliary tools:

Tweezers (bent tweezers are easier to operate).

Eyelash curler (curl your real eyelashes first and then apply false eyelashes).

Small scissors (trim the length of false eyelashes).

5. Wearing tips
Trimming: The length of false eyelashes should be 2-3mm shorter than the eyes (trim after comparing from the beginning to the end of the eye).

How to apply: Fix the middle of the eye first, then adjust the beginning and end of the eye.

Maintenance: Clean the residual glue after use and store in a dry place. It can be reused 3-5 times.
