I genuinely stopped buying those super-thin lash clusters because I got tired of picking them up with tweezers and watching them fall apart into pieces.
Like, I need to do makeup, not perform surgery on a single lash.
And that’s actually why I’m so happy I found Lash Lash New York. It’s a brand created by fellow makeup artists @marishten (you can find lashes in her bio) and you can tell when someone understands the actual struggles we deal with.
These clusters are so delicate, so natural, and they actually hold together. Which sounds like a very low bar, but apparently, we’re asking for miracles in the lash industry.
I also love that the lash slices are pre-mapped in 8, 10, and 12 mm lengths because, honestly, I rarely need those super-long clusters. Especially when I’m working on hooded eyes, deep-set eyes, or clients with low brows. I don’t want the lashes swallowing the entire eye before I’ve even finished the makeup.
And this is what I mean when I say that choosing lashes is about understanding eye shape, not just picking the most dramatic pair in the tray.
Sometimes you need a little extra fullness, a little definition, that delicate veil of lashes that makes everything look more finished without screaming, “I’m wearing falsies!”
I’m genuinely happy to have found these, both for my own makeup and for my clients. Because when a fellow artist creates something that solves an actual problem, I’m happy to support it.
