Introduction
False eyelashes were first used in Hollywood in 1916, commissioned by film director DW Griffith who wanted one of his actresses to wear exaggerated eye lashes. He asked a manufacturer of natural hair wigs to make human eyelashes.
However, they didn’t become popular among the public until the 1960s. Today, they are widely used, there are many varieties available and you can even buy them in supermarkets.
10.2 Types of false eyelashes
There is now such an exciting range of false eyelashes available that you can create many different looks, from demure to dramatic.
Individual eyelashes
They are the least commonly used type of false eye lashes. Each lash is separate and needs to be applied separately. They are used to give more depth to poor eye lashes. The effect is very natural and they’re ideal when you want a very discreet result.
Cluster lashes
These little groups of lashes come in various lengths. They are also very comfortable and natural and provide greater thickness than individual lashes. This type is widely used in bridal makeup.
Strip lashes
These are the most commonly used type of false eye lashes. They extend from the tear duct to the end of the natural lash line. They come in many lengths and thicknesses. One disadvantage to these is that if your eye becomes wet or itchy, you may rub off the strip without noticing.
Middle eyelid lashes
These lashes are placed on the outer half of the eye. They create a feline effect and help the eyes appear more open.
Fantasy eyelashes
These lashes are colourful, an exaggerated size and incorporate long crystals, glitter and many other fun effects. They are used with fantasy make up, for carnivals, for theatre and with certain fashions.
