How Lashes Elevate the Trend

Lashes are essential in pulling off a truly unrecognizable look. They help redefine eye shapes, exaggerate expressions, and complete the illusion. Here’s how you can incorporate lashes into your transformation:

Upper Lashes for Drama

Long, voluminous lashes create an instant eye-lifting effect and add intensity to any look. If you want to go bold, try these styles from Ninetynine Dreams:

100PCs Butterfly Lashes – Butterfly Lashes are designed for a fluttery, voluminous look. Featuring a mix of 10-14mm length and a C+ curl, these individual lash clusters offer the perfect balance of softness and definition. These are the best individual lashes for adding drama and depth to any eyeshape.

50PCs Intense Foxy Lashes - Our Intense Foxy Lashes range from 8-16mm to achieve the ultimate, foxy, cat-eye look. This bold, winged style elongates and sharpens the eyes, making them appear more lifted and striking. This creates a captivating slanted siren effect, effortlessly enhancing your gaze.

100PCs Fantasy Lashes - Our Fantasy Lashes are designed for bold, eye-catching looks with lengths ranging from 10-16mm. Use these lashes for a more open-eye, spiky, Manhua-inspired style. The long lengths on these lashes will create the illusion for a more large, doll-eye look.

Lower Lashes for an Editorial Edge

Adding false lower lashes can completely change your eye shape, making your makeup look even more dramatic and surreal. Try these styles:

120PCs Dolly Lower Lashes - Our Dolly Lower Lashes create the illusion of bigger and more enchanting eyes for the perfect doll-eye look. These would pair well with the Butterfly or Fantasy Lashes to enlarge your eyes.

120PCs Cat Ear Lower Lashes - Our Cat Ear Lower Lashes have spikes to create a more wet, spiky lash look without the mess of mascara. These pair well with any lash style depending on your placement. Place a few clusters on the outer edge of your lower lash line for a more siren eye look, or towards the center for a doll-eye effect.
