Flutter and flare a guide to the world of false eyelashes

False eyelashes are becoming increasingly popular in many women’s daily routine to add extra glamour not only for your night time party look but also for everyday wear. There are many different styles and types of lashes to choose from including magnetic, pre glued, strip lashes and individuals. Here at Koko Couture we have a wide range to choose from and wanted to provide you with some helpful hints and tis to help you choose the best possible lashes for you.

 

Fit – It is important the your lashes fit correctly as if your lashes overhang they will easily come off, if they are to short then they will not achieve the desired look. We recommend putting the lash to your eye and trimming slightly to achieve the perfect fit. Always trim from the outer corner and ideally with a pair of lash scissors.

 

Comfort –  If you have quite sensitive eyes we would recommend a lighter pair of false eyelashes rather than some of our more dramatic looks that have a thicker band as these maybe to heavy for your eye, Sensitive eyes suit lashes with a thinner or invisible lash line that are much lighter. We recommend our natural faux minx for the more sensitive eyes.

Colour – Most of our lashes come in black however you can get coloured lashes or some lashes with a strip of shimmer glitter to add extra glamour.
