Lashes on Fleek: Strip Lashes, Lash Extensions, or a Lash Lift?

Don’t you want your lashes on fleek?

We want your eyes to shine, all day every day, and one of the best ways to do that is with your eyelashes. Natural lashes do not always do the trick. Instead, get your lashes on fleek with either strips, extensions, or a lift.

Don’t bat your eyes on this guide!

Strip lashes

Strip lashes are fake eyelashes (a.k.a. falsies) that are non-permanent. To enhance volume, these strips feature artificial hairs linked to a strip that is then bonded to your eyelid somewhat above the lashes. You can get falsies that adhere with glue or magnetic eyeliner.

Pros:

• Reusable
• Come in different hairstyles: mink, synthetic, and silk
• More noticeable in photos
• Wide variety of color, length, and volume options
• Easy to find at a drugstore, supermarket, beauty shop, or online
• Most affordable

Cons:

• Must remove before sleeping
• Difficult to apply
• Messy
• Cannot get wet
• Must clean after each use
• Some look unnatural
• Natural eyelashes can be ripped off if not applied correctly
• Typically need to purchase glue separately

Lash extensions

To boost lash volume, eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fake lashes that are individually bonded to your natural lashes by a specialist, like one of our PROs at MOBILESTYLES.

Pros:

• Last about 4-6 weeks
• You have control over the length
• Reduce makeup application time
• Stay on while you sleep
• Can get wet
• Fall off on their own
• Come in different hairstyles: mink, synthetic, and silk
• Do not need mascara

Cons:

• Must be applied by a professional
• Expensive to apply and maintain
• Can fall off if you rub or pluck your eyes
• Must clean daily
• Refill every 2-4 weeks
• Appointments are time-consuming (up to 5 hours)
• Untrustworthy specialists can cause eye damage
• Possible allergies due to adhesive

Lash lift

A lash lift is a professional treatment, performed by skilled and qualified professionals, that curls and tints your lashes semi-permanently to make them seem extra lustrous.

Pros:

• Eyes look bigger
• Semi-affordable (more than falsies, but less than extensions)
• No touch-ups or follow-up appointments
• If maintained properly, can last up to 3 months

Cons:

• Untrustworthy specialists can cause eye damage
• May need to skip eye makeup for a few days after the initial appointment
• Not great for sensitive eyes
• Can cause dry eyes
• Over time, lashes can grow out to look kinky, due to the perming solution
