What are semi-permanent false eyelashes made of?

With a polite assumption, I'd say that people who wear semi-permanent false eyelashes today are unlikely to be old enough to remember the 1916 movie "Intolerance" and the star Seena Owen. If you had seen it, you probably would have observed the first time someone uses false eyelashes.

However, you could hardly say that these semi-permanent false eyelashes were an overnight success, possibly because no one came up with an easy way to make and even fix them! It wasn't until the fashion industry turned upside down in the 1960s that they became popular. Most of the ladies remember those huge Twiggy eyes surrounded by her wonderful lashes. The use of false eyelashes decreased slightly after Twiggy's heyday as volumizing masks became more popular. Since then they have enjoyed a revival of around 2008.

False eyelashes can now be found as complete sets, individual or small group eyelashes and with different densities, colors and lengths. When applying false eyelashes the first time, it will take a little practice to get it right. You should securely bond them as close to the lash line as possible with a special glue. To remove them, you need a special solvent to dissolve the glue and you should never peel them off, since you will take your own tabs with them!

The materials sensitive eyelash extension glue homeuse are made of often determine the price, and generally synthetics will be cheaper. You can also find silk lashes and versions of natural hair. The natural ones will be of human hair or mink. With mink lashes, the hair is simply harvested with a brush and with live mink. Maybe a little strange (if you can believe it), when you search the Internet you will find some claims that a British artist, Jessica Harrison, had a pair made of fly legs! Well, each one to his own ......!

As for comfort, you will get used to them, but never sleep on them or your eyes will look terrible in the morning as they are not designed to be used 24 hours. Take care of your semi-permanent false eyelashes and they will last a long time, depending on how often you use them, of course. Other alternatives include implants and eyelash extensions, although we recommend that you first try an eyelash growth serum and see how it goes.
