If you’ve always longed for fake eyelashes that look real, look no further! The process of achieving natural looking eyelashes is a combination of two primary factors: the way you apply your falsies and the styles that you choose. Achieving eyelashes that look real isn’t an impossible task; in fact, many individuals all around the world are able to accomplish their no-makeup eyelash goals, but they had to learn some tips along the way to do so. In this article, we’ll provide you with sure proof methods of creating the most natural looking false eyelashes, as well as offering 5 styles that can help you fulfill the desire for realistic looking false eyelashes. Keep reading to discover how to make fake eyelashes look natural and the styles that can help…

How to Apply False Eyelashes so They Look Natural

Here are some tips on how to make fake lashes look real:

  1. Choose your lashes: If you want fake eyelashes that look real, make sure to pick a natural lash style to begin with. It is more challenging to make dramatic lashes look natural because that simply isn’t what they were designed for. Later on in this article we’ll run you through 5 natural looking fake eyelashes, so if you don’t quite know where to start we can help you along your way to perfect lashes!
  2. Decide on strip lashes or individual hairs: Although both strip lashes and individual lash hairs are an excellent way to get natural looking lashes, we’d say that the benefit of individual hairs is the versatility and customizability. Whatever your eye shape, lash length or desired look, individual lashes can help! With that being said, for those who aren’t yet accustomed to individual lash clusters, strip lashes are quicker to apply easier and can be worn on-the-go.
  3. Use mascara to your advantage: Many individuals stay away from mascara when they’re wearing falsies, but you actually don’t need to. Some have found that applying a light coat of mascara after your false eyelashes are on, can help the hairs blend in better with your natural lash line. Making them less noticeable, the difference between your own eyelashes and the falsies you’re wearing becoming invisible to the untrained eye.
  4. Pick an extremely durable glue: The better the glue, the stronger the bond between eyelashes will be. An extremely durable glue is necessary for natural looking lashes because they won’t start to peel off mid-day. Half peeled lashes do NOT look natural, trust us.
  5. Opt for a natural makeup look to go with your barely there lashes: The best way to keep your eyes appearing ‘au naturale’ is to avoid overapplication of your makeup. This might seem self-explanatory, but many don’t realize how much makeup on your face can impact the way your eyes also look. We love to contrast big striking lashes with a minimal makeup look for a long-lasting and impactful look.
  6. Trim lashes to your correct eye size: Everyone has a unique eye size and that’s why it’s rare that a pair of falsies straight out of the box will be a perfect fit, and the reason so many women love individual lashes. It is necessary the majority of the time to trim new false eyelashes to the right size before application. When there’s too much space at the inner corners of the eye or when part of the eyelash is hanging off the end of the lid, lashes won’t appear natural, not to mention that they can quickly become uncomfortable or even fall off! That’s why trimming falsies down to size is a vital component of keeping your lash game seamless and organic.

The Most Natural Looking False Eyelashes

It is possible to achieve the most natural looking false eyelashes, but it requires going through the right application process, as well as also choosing the best false eyelash styles for a barely there, seamless final look. Some falsies, no matter how hard you try, just won’t look natural, regardless of eye shape. Because of this, if you intend to subtly flaunt your false lashes and don’t want others noticing you’re wearing falsies, there are some lash styles you definitely need to check out. Below, we share five of our most favored, go-to natural lashes!

5 False Eyelashes that Look Natural

It isn’t always easy to navigate through your options when it comes to false eyelashes. This massive beauty trend has grown so popular that an endless list of companies have begun selling them.

№1 – Classy by AZLO Lashes

AZLO not only has a beautiful message of being animal-friendly and all about empowering and boosting self-confidence, but they also make some amazing false eyelashes. Although the majority of AZLO styles are medium to full-bodied, two of their styles are on the lighter side, one of which is Classy. Ideal for natural wear and a barely-there appearance, Classy is built up of delicate jet black hairs arranged carefully on an ultra-comfortable cotton band. These hairs are cut at various lengths to help them blend in even better with your own lash line. Pretty cool, right? Although looking very organic and down-to-earth, Classy is still probably the most dramatic of all the styles featured on our natural false eyelash list. Because of this, this lash type is perfect for an evening event where you want your eyes to pop just a tad more than they do in the day-to-day look. It also looks great with a subtle smokey eye in the evening too!
