Aaliyah Strip Eyelash Extensions

Strip lashes are false eyelashes attached to a flexible band that sits along your natural lash line. They are designed to add length, volume and definition without needing individual lash extensions.

They are a good option if you want an easy beauty upgrade for everyday makeup, soft glam looks or full occasion makeup.

To apply strip lashes, gently remove the lash from the tray, measure it against your eye, trim from the outer edge if needed, then apply a thin layer of lash glue along the band.

Wait until the glue becomes tacky, then place the lash as close to your natural lash line as possible. Press the inner corner, centre and outer corner into place for a secure fit.

The easiest way to make strip lashes look professional is to customise the fit before applying them. Always measure the lash band, trim only from the outer edge, and let the glue become tacky before placing the lash.

Look slightly downward into a mirror when applying them. This gives you more control and helps the lash sit closer to your natural lash line.

To clean false lashes, carefully remove any dried glue from the lash band using your fingers or tweezers. Then gently clean away makeup residue with a cotton bud and a suitable cleanser.

Avoid soaking the lashes heavily or pulling at the fibres, as this can affect the shape and reduce how many times you can reuse them.

The most flattering false lashes depend on your eye shape. Almond eyes usually suit balanced or winged styles, round eyes often suit elongating lashes, hooded eyes benefit from lifted styles, and monolids can work beautifully with curled, visible lash designs.

Choosing lashes by eye shape helps the lash enhance your natural features instead of hiding or weighing down your eyes.

Almond eyes are one of the most versatile eye shapes for false lashes. They usually suit soft glam, wispy, winged and balanced lash styles because the eye shape can carry both natural and more lifted designs.

If you want a lifted look, choose lashes with slightly more length towards the outer corner. If you want a softer everyday look, choose a more evenly distributed lash style.

The best lashes for hooded eyes are lightweight, lifted and not too heavy on the lash band. Hooded eyes often benefit from styles that open the eye without hiding the lid space.

Avoid overly dense lashes if they make the eyes look smaller. Instead, choose fluttery or lifted styles that add definition while keeping the eye area open.
