Hello Beauties!!!
Over the past couple of weekends I have been working on site at weddings and I have been asked many times what the differences are between particular false eye lashes.
So let's start a conversation about the different types of eye lashes; natural, knot free, knotted, single, strip and so on.
That got me thinking and I started searching the web for ideas on how to explain the differences between them and I came across what seems to me to be the BEST false eye lash explanation.
"Have you ever wondered what the difference is between knotted and knot free individual eyelashes, and which one is better? I will attempt to clarify the matter here with my guide."
For starters, the knotted lashes are called Flared and the knot free lashes are called Naturals. Sometimes you will see the word 'flare' next to the size of the individual eyelashes (ex. Flare Medium). This only describes the way the eyelash is shaped not whether it is knotted or knot free.
Flared (knotted) have a knot joining the lashes. These lashes offer a slightly better hold than Natural (knot free) lashes because the knot provides more surface area for the glue to stick to. Knotted lashes are also easier to apply because you can see where to position the lashes because of the knot. Ardell Duralash Naturals (knot free) do not have any knots so they do not hold as well as their knotted counterpart, however, Naturals give a more natural appearance and you don't have to compensate for the knot. The knot free end definitely blends in with your natural lashes much better. A beginner may prefer the Flared lashes because you can see exactly where you are placing the knot as opposed to the Naturals which seem to blend in with your own lashes more readily. The end result is the same for both styles, beautifully enhanced, natural looking eyelashes. It all comes down to personal choice and experience.
Honestly I could not have said it better myself when it comes to those two types of false eye lashes. Those particular ones are considered 'individual lashes.'
The other types of lashes are the ones that I'm sure most people are familiar with which are 'strip lashes.'
Those come in different styles like; wispy, flare, short, long and so on, but they also come in demi lashes which are basically half a strip of lashes that go on the outer corner of the eye to give you the flare effect on the ends.
To me, lashes finish the look of a full face of makeup for an evening out.
Once you learn the ins and outs of how to apply false lashes and which types you like you'll never go back to just wearing regular mascara.
So dolls....what do you think about lashes?
If you have any tips, tricks or suggestions please comment below I would love to hear what you have to say.
