Cluster Eyelash Extensions Kit, DIY Lashes Extension Kit

Comfortable, pretty and surprising lashes
I use lashes that can be attached beneath the natural lash because I have hooded and oily lids. Strip lashes or clusters applied from above don’t last long on me. As the skin folds over it pulls the lashes off when I blink, no matter how close to the lash line I go. Add in extra oils and the glue degrades quickly. These lashes are an excellent solution for us hooded lid types. So id definitely recommend a cluster lash, applied beneath the lashes to any hooded lid folk. It really is a great solution!

These particular ones took me by surprise. I’ve never used them before and was initially disappointed. When I first opened the box, I thought they’d be awful. The strip the lashes are attached to is quite thick, shiny and feels hard/sharp to the touch. Not a nice thought for such a delicate area.

However, I’ve found that if you apply them parallel to the root of your natural lashes, and far enough up the length of the lash so they aren’t touching the water line of the eye (without leaving an obvious gap of course), they’re perfectly comfortable. Any lash will poke if you apply them crooked or touching the skin anyway. So careful application is important.

The tips of the lashes are extremely soft, they give a nice full appearance and don’t look unnatural. I genuinely can’t feel them on and I’ve doubled up in the outer corners, which can cause heaviness with other brands I’ve tried, but not these.

In the photo, I am wearing 11, 10, 10, 9 (my eyes are small, so I only need 4 for a natural look). Then in between the 11 & 10 I added a 12. Then another 10 between the 2 10’s for extra depth and fullness. The tips of the lashes fan out quite wide, which is a plus, since I thought I’d have to use lots of clusters at once, since these are so narrow at the base. Thanks to them fanning out, it’s not an issue. It also means extra clusters can be overlayed without extra weight and discomfort.

I imagine they’ll last as long as my usual glue allows, which is 5-7 days. Application was really easy, they stuck to the glue without any problems and I’m pleased with the end result! I usually use Beyelian DIY lashes, but gave these a shot because you get loads in the pack, plus I like the range of sizing. A 1mm difference between lengths gives a more subtle gradient than a 2mm difference.

My only issue with them, and it’s so small. Is that the rows of lashes are so close together in the pack. Getting each cluster off is difficult because you catch the row beneath, especially as it makes sense to grab the lashes at the very base, so as not to damage them. The sticky strip they sit on is mildly annoying too, as it lifts off with the lash if you don’t hold it down. It’s no big deal, but it slowed me down a little and made the task a little more fiddly than it needed to be. I’m sure there’s a reason the whole strip comes and out, probably to try help not catch the other lashes when lifting out your chosen cluster. However, I rather not do that as it could make them easier to lose or you can accidentally knock them on to the floor just by breathing. It’s likely to be more fiddly to remove them from a flimsy, sticky strip, that is no longer attached to the tray.

Otherwise, these lashes are so lovely, thick, with a decent curl on them, they are comfortable and I am happy with how the finished result looks. I don’t have time to get my lashes done at a salon anymore, so these are the next best thing. You can comfortably sleep in them, saves time in the mornings when getting ready for work and they keep their shape nicely. They are good, lightweight, sturdy lashes for the price and I do think they look fantastic on.

As for removal, I imagine that depends on your glue. The glue I use comes off easier with micellar water, than it does the squalene oil cleanser I usually use to remove make up. I haven’t removed these yet, so I hope they do keep their shape and don’t shed when I do take them off. I can’t see it being an issue, because these lashes are pretty strong.
