5 Best Fiber Lash Extension Mascaras

Eyelashes are by far my favorite feature to exaggerate.  Although I usually wear strip lashes on a daily basis, fiber lash extension mascaras are popping up everywhere have recently started to catch my attention.  Fiber lash extension mascaras boast fluttery, doll-like lashes without the hassle of semi-permanent lash extensions or the possible irritation of strip lashes.  Hate her or love her, you can’t deny that Kim Kardashian has the most lust-worthy celebrity eyelashes around; this is the natural yet dramatic look that fiber lash extensions mimic.  They work by bonding tiny fibers to your lashes for extension, then coating with mascara to bond it all together.  While some brands have fused the fiber and top coat into one step, I found that products with split fiber and top coat applications resulted in whispier, clump-free lashes.

 How To Apply Fiber Lash Mascara

PRIME:  I begin by curling my lashes and applying one layer of mascara base/top coat, then allowing to dry.  I find that the fibers stick better to a coat of mascara than they do to my bare lashes.

BUILD:  Extend lashes with fibers, using a gentle patting motion, and apply fibers onto tops of lashes starting at the middle and working outwards toward the tip.

SEAL:  Finally, set them in place with mascara base/top coat to lock in the fibers.

REPEAT:  It may take two or three coats to achieve your desired look. For best results, do not let dry between coats.

 

Happy Holidays!!
