4 Facts About False Eyelashes

False lashes are actually pretty amazing. They don't clump, smudge or stick together, they're easy to remove, and they'll instantly give anyone gorgeous, perfectly separated, thick lashes.

Okay, we'll be the first to admit that false eyelashes can be a little intimidating. Putting them on is a bit tricky at first, and when you're not used to them, they can seem a little dramatic - and it's a little disconcerting to wake up in the morning with some fake stuff stuck to your pillow because you haven't washed your face after a long night out.

But once you warm up to their glamour, false lashes are actually pretty amazing. They don't clump, smudge or stick together, they're easy to remove, and they'll instantly give anyone gorgeous, perfectly separated, thick lashes. That's not all - keep reading for more great reasons why you should include false lashes in your makeup bag arsenal.

1. They're great to wear when you're emotional (like at a wedding, a sad movie, or when you have PMS)

Feeling sensitive? All faux eyelashes will take you there.

Courtney Lutkus of StyleInGo said, "False lashes are a great way to prevent tear-proof makeup - they won't leave black streaks on your face when you're attending a big event, rather than letting eyeliner and mascara run down your eyes.” “False lashes are a great way to enhance your eyes without a lot of makeup. While mascara only darkens and lengthens your lashes, false lashes are eyelashes that can multiply your lashes."

2. They come in a variety of materials

Think false eyelashes are the same? There are many options depending on your price point and what you feel most comfortable wearing.

"The most popular lash materials are human hair, plastic, and mink," says Lutkus. "Human hair and mink are favored for their realistic look - mink lashes are the most expensive. Eyelash adhesives ensure lashes stay on all day, but fall out easily at the end of the night."

3. They can help strengthen your real eyelashes

"While false lashes don't have special ingredients to help strengthen and grow lashes, using false lashes instead of mascara, can help keep your lashes strong and healthy," says Lutkus. "Mascara weakens your lashes and makes them brittle. So replace mascara with false lashes and your lashes will start to look thicker and healthier."

4. They help keep your skin healthy

All the wiping and rough shelling we do with makeup lashes to get rid of all these problems? Not only does it cause lashes to fall out, but it also messes up the delicate skin around our eyes and can damage our eyes if not removed properly.

"Mascara can damage lashes," says Murray, "The waterproof formula is drying and causing breakage. Curling your lashes after applying mascara can also cause lashes to break. Most women don't remove all of their mascara, which can cause the mascara to dry out, become brittle and break the lashes. Old mascara also contains Bacteria, which infect the eyelash follicles."
