What Is Falsies?
Falsies (false lashes) are strip or individual lashes applied to the lash line to add length, volume, or drama.
Falsies is the casual term for false eyelashes — strips, clusters, or individual lash extensions applied to the upper lash line to add length, volume, and drama. Strip lashes are the most common and come in everything from natural-looking wisps to full, dramatic fans. Cluster lashes are small groups of lashes applied to specific sections for a customized effect. Modern lash technology includes magnetic lashes (which attach to magnetic liner instead of glue), self-adhesive strips, and DIY lash extension clusters that last multiple days. The key to natural-looking falsies is choosing a style that matches your eye shape and cutting strips to fit — most full strips need trimming from the outer corner to avoid lifting.
Tips
- Trim strip lashes to fit your eye. Apply glue and wait until tacky before placing.
