Fake eyelashes: a look for every time of the day!

What's so great about fake eyelashes? What isn't so great should be the question! False eyelashes, especially 3D mink eyelashes, can be used for regular day wear or for a night on the town! They are so versatile and easy to apply. With 8 styles to choose from, you can wear a daytime pair, such as the 'Gray' fake eyelashes, and carry the nighttime version, 'Emmy' with you in your purse - the hard cover, magnetic fake eyelash box means it's easy to pop your second pair in your purse, and switch them over as easily as changing your outfit!

Sophie' fake eyelashes are our lightest 3D Mink false eyelashes, perfect for a day at the beach, in the office, or simply for drinking wine on the patio with your ladies. 'Cheyanne' is our most dramatic nighttime look. Your eyelashes will look thick, dark, long and strong - it's how we like out lashes, and our men round here!

Try KES Lashes fake eyelashes today. With shipping as low as $2 per pair, you've got nothing to lose. Except maybe your mascara! You'll fall in love with these fake lashes today and ditch the mascara tomorrow. Try a pair and see!

Can I wear contacts with false eyelashes (strip lashes)?

12/20/2019

0 Comments

 
This is a very common question that ladies have, and the answer is YES (in most cases)! KES Lashes are applied right above your own lash line, therefore they do not come into contact with your contact lenses. 

Applying false eyelashes for one special night or occasion (like your wedding or prom) will probably be fine, however if you plan on using false eyelashes every day you may be putting your lenses at risk. Some doctors and lens manufacturers say to never wear false lashes, so it’s always best to consult your optometrist before you try it.

When applying fake eyelashes and makeup with contact lenses, take the following steps:
  1. Wash your hands so you won't transfer any dirt, dust, oils, creams or lotions to the lenses.
  2. Put your contact lenses in before applying false eyelashes.
  3. Wait at least 30 seconds for the lash glue to become tacky before applying the fake eyelash quickly to the eyelid.
  4. If you are a contact lens wearer, never apply eyeliner between your lashes and your eye.
  5. Always remove your contact lenses before removing your false eyelashes and your makeup. 

​For some people, the combination of glue, lenses and eyes will be too much, and you'll find your eyes watering. In these cases, unfortunately, strip lashes probably are not going to work for you :(

How to make fake lashes last longer!

12/13/2019

0 Comments

 
1. Pull them off gently and don’t touch the lashes
How long your fake eyelashes will last also depends on how well you take care of them. When taking off your fake eyelashes pull them off carefully, avoiding touching the lashes themselves, just pull gently on the band and start from the outer corners of your eye. If the glue is being particularly stubborn, apply a drop or two of water to a q-tip and rub it along the lash line. 

2. Avoid using mascara on the false eyelashes
With KES Lashes you wont need mascara. However. If you insist on wearing it, make sure it’s applied only to your natural lash, and applied before you put the fake eyelashes on. Keep the fake eyelash as free from makeup as possible and this will keep them looking fresh for longer. 

3. Clean your false eyelashes properly
If you’ve followed the above steps, your fake eyelashes should be free from makeup. Use a small amount of water to remove any excess makeup and leave them to dry.

4. Store them in their box
Storing your false eyelashes in their original eyelash box will help them maintain their curve, and keep them free from bacteria, dirt and dust. 
​
Follow these simple steps and your fake eyelashes will last you many nights out, and be worth investing a few additional dollars into a good pair.

How many times can you reuse fake eyelashes?

12/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Once you found a pair of fake eyelashes that you love, it’s understandable that you’re going to want to wear them over and over! So how many times can you reuse fake eyelashes before they need replacing?  

This post covers the life span of different types of false eyelashes and how to care for your eyelashes so you can get the most use out of them.

Can you reuse fake eyelashes?
The good news is YES! Yes you can reuse false eyelashes, but how many times you can reuse your fake eyelashes depends on how the eyelashes are made, the material that has been used, and how well you take care of your false eyelashes.

How many times can you reuse false eyelashes?
How many times you can reuse your false eyelashes all depends on the quality of your fake eyelashes and how well you clean and care for them.

A cheap brand like Ardell can be worn 4-5 times, whereas investing a little more buying a more durable brand of fake eyelashes (like KES Lashes) will mean they can be worn up to 20 times with the right care. Our false eyelashes have a thicker band than Ardell lashes which adds to their durability.

This post is dedicated purely to a side-by-side comparison of Ardell False Eyelashes and KES Strip EyeLashes so you know what to expect when you buy either brand. 
Material 
  • Ardell fake eyelashes are made out of either synthetic hair or sterilized human hair.
  • KES Lashes are 100% mink false eyelash extensions. 
Appearance 
  • Ardell false eyelashes are generally flat, without any depth to their appearance.
  • KES Lashes are 3D, making them appear more like real eyelashes, and more dramatic in the more voluminous styles.

Storage
  • Ardell false eyelashes come in a plastic carton.
  • KES Lashes come in a hard cover, magnetic clasp storage box.

Usage
  • Ardell false eyelashes are not designed for much more than two or three wears before they start to lose their shape.
  • KES Lashes can be worn 20+ times if you take care of them and use the storage box. 
Price 
  • Ardell strip eyelashes range in price, starting at a few dollars for a pair.
  • KES Lashes cost $18/pair which works out to be under $1/per wear, depending on how well you take care of them!
Ultimately, when it comes to choosing a brand of fake eyelashes, you need to look a the quality of the product and how often you plan on wearing them. If you’re only going to wear them once or twice for a special occasion, then Ardell Lashes would be your best best. If you’re looking for a higher quality product that can be worn time and time again, choose KES Lashes!

How to care for your fake eyelashes

11/21/2019

0 Comments

 
Congratulations! You've bought a pair of the greatest fake eyelashes you can buy. These false eyelashes are reusable multiple times. They are 3D, made from 100% real mink. However, there are some special care instructions that must be adhered to in order to get the most wear from your sparkling new false eyelashes.
Picture
Be gentle with your false eyelashes
Grasp the fake eyelashes by the band when picking up. Don’t tug when applying or removing. If you find it difficult to remove the false eyelashes from your eyelid, dampen a cotton swab with water and rub it gently over the band to loosen the glue. If dried glue builds up on the band of your fake eyelashes, gently peel it off with your fingertips.

Apply mascara with care - do not apply to the fake eyelash
Applying mascara to the fake eyelash can cause damage, so only apply to your natural eyelashes first, let it dry, then apply the false eyelash.
​
Proper storage of your fake eyelashes is key
Store in the original packaging to maintain the lash shape and to keep them clean and protected from dirt, dust and bacteria.

Have fun with your lashes!

Eyelash Extensions vs Fake Eyelashes: which are better?

11/21/2019

0 Comments

 
Asking which is better, eyelash extensions or fake eyelashes is like asking which is better, men or women (and the answer is always women! jk). They are completely different products that work best in different ways for different people.
Picture
Here are some of the pros and cons of each:
Eyelash Extension Pros:
  • Wake up and brush, no need to "put them on" each morning
  • Look great even when you are sleeping
  • Can swim with them on
  • Can look incredibly natural, or long and thick
Eyelash Extension Cons:
  • Higher maintenance, require fills every 3-4 weeks
  • Can be allergic to the glue used
  • Cannot mix up your look on a whim
Fake Eyelashes Pros:
  • Cost effective - one set at $18 can last month and months, even longer if you take good care of them.
  • Easy to apply
  • Great for people who are allergic to glue used in eyelash extensions
  • Can change up your look whenever you want by stocking several pairs
Fake Eyelashes Cons:
  • Need to remove at night and reapply every morning.
  • Cannot be used in water
So, as you can see, whether eyelash extensions work best for you, or false eyelashes really depends on your situation and what your lifestyle is like. If you want hassle-free for the 3 weeks between fills, then lash extensions might be for you. If you prefer to mix up your look every day, and don't want to be tied to a 3-week fill schedule, then grab a pair of fake eyelashes! Either way, they will look amazing on you!
