 Full Lash Strips

Who it’s for: Full lash strips is to add drama or volume to your eyes, perfect for a night out or a photoshoot. Mostly worn by late teens, for a dramatic effect. You can instantly tell it is fake eyelashes because of the remarkable look – I mean, some love the attention they get from wearing these dramatic lashes.

It’s made of synthetic fibres depending on the brand you purchase, the more expensive it is – the odds are it is mink or silk a more natural fibre.

How to use it: The easiest way to apply it, by using adhesive lash glue with a steady hand or tweezers. Sometimes, you might find out that the strip doesn’t fit your eye shape so you have to trim it. The next step is to close your eye and place the strip just above your eyelashes and hold it for a minimum of 5 seconds and Voila! You’re done. But trust me you will have to practice until it’s perfected.

 

Individuals 

 

 

Individuals are dramaless in comparison to strips, the false eyelashes are filled in between your own lashes, to appear thicker. You can have a full set or go half, depending on your eyes shape.

The eyelashes last 3- 6 weeks, in consideration of refills they can last way longer. With Sole Beauty individual lash treatment, we use the renowned Nouveau Lash brand.

Who it’s for:  Anybody who is trying to obtain a natural look by targeting volume in specific areas in any gaps in your eyelash. Best believe the way individuals are applied it will keep guessing people if your eyelashes are real!

Clusters

Clusters false eyelashes are a group of eyelashes glued together in a cluster, as you can see the ends are bulky giving that extra volume. This is the style a lot of influencers on Instagram are going for and everyone loves it.
