Don’t Choose Very Heavy False Lashes

As a beginner, getting a pair of big and heavy false lashes is definitely the wrong option. Not only can heavy false lashes look strange when you apply them the first time, but they can also make you feel uncomfortable. This will put a damper on your idea of applying false eyelashes. You will know how heavy they are if you have worn them for a day. And if you intend to put on heavy eye makeup, this kind of falsies may hide your shadows and eyeliner, which wastes all your effort.

In addition, compared to heavy ones, natural false lashes which are lighter usually are easier to apply. It’s good news for beginners. The most important is natural falsies sometimes are cheaper. So, this is an easy multiple-choice question. You know how to choose it.

Wispy false lashes are recommended. Wispy false lashes, literally, are fine and feathery. Because this kind of false lashes has gaps between each group of lashes, they add length and volume to your natural eyelashes but won’t cover all your shadows. You can get a fluttery and slightly more fun lash look than usual.

And if you have long but sparse lashes, individual false eyelashes are an ideal option. They are made of three or four lash hairs. And if you need to fill gaps between lashes, you just apply them where you want them.

Try to Look for Transparent Lash Bands

Looking for transparent lash bands doesn’t mean that black lash bands are bad. A lot of false lashes with black lash bands on the market are good either. However, it is usually more simple and easier for beginners to work with transparent bands. Try to think about it. If you make your falsies in a mess, transparent bands will save you for they are more inconspicuous than black ones. I highly recommend you to have this type.

Choose Thin and Flexible Lash Bands

Well, transparent lash bands can be the first choice, while thin and flexible ones are of importance as well. There are various reasons for you to find a pair of false lashes with thin and flexible bands instead of thick bands.

Thick bands may poke you. If you're not very good at apply false eyelashes, they may harm your eyes if you do it carelessly. However, thin bands are softer and less likely to poke your eyes.
Thin and flexible lash bands curve naturally. You can curl lash bands according to your own eye shape without breaking them while thick bands may not.
False lashes with thin and flexible bands are easier to apply. Compared to the ones with thick bands, they are usually smaller and lighter, which is consistent with our first advice. So, they are more friendly to beginners.

What Kind of Material is the Best?

As we all know, there are five main types of false lashes on the market: synthetic lashes, human hair lashes, silk lashes, faux mink lashes, and mink lashes.

So, which is the best for beginners?

Synthetic lashes are also made of fibers like plastic or other materials. They are heavy and uncomfortable with thick bands. As a beginner, never choose this!

Mink lashes, as the most luxurious falsies, provides you with an incredibly fine and comfortable feeling. They are made of hair from mink. However, they're kind of cruel. I personally don't recommend it.

Faux mink lashes mimic the feel and fluffiness of the mink, which are very light and fluttery. Compared with mink lashes, they are cheaper and cruelty-free. If you have a limited budget and want to experience a soft feeling, this is the best option.

Human hair lashes are made of human hair, more comfortable than synthetic lashes. Moreover, they are lighter and cheaper, a popular alternative to synthetic lashes.

Silk lashes are made of synthetic-based silk fiber. Although some sellers exclaim that their silk lashes are made 100% silk, real silk won’t be able to be curled. They are also feather-light and fine. There is not much difference between silk lashes and faux mink lashes, so to speak, but faux mink lashes are finer. This is recommended either.

With Glue or Without Glue?

Depending on adhesive type, false eyelashes are divided into glue-adhesive eyelashes and magnetic false eyelashes. Magnetic false eyelashes can be applied with magnetic eyeliner, which makes application easier. Magnetic false eyelashes can usually be reused 35 times while glue-adhesive false eyelashes can only be reused 25 times. Besides, some people's eye skin is very sensitive to glue. However, with magnetic falsies, you don’t have to consider this problem anymore. In terms of price, Magnetic false eyelashes are a little more expensive. As for how to choose between the two, you can make up your mind according to your budget and preference.
