First up, strip lashes—the ones you glue on for a night out. These are the party queens of the lash world. They last anywhere from one to two wears if you’re gentle, but honestly? Most of us toss them after a single use because they get crusty with glue. Guilty as charged.
Then there are individual lashes—those tiny clusters you apply with tweezers. They’re a bit more high-maintenance, but they can last three to five days if you’re a ninja with your skincare routine. Pro tip: avoid oil-based cleansers unless you want them to slide off like a drama queen.
And finally, the heavy hitter: lash extensions. These are professionally applied, semi-permanent babies that can last two to four weeks. They’re the Ferrari of falsies—expensive, high-performance, and you’ll cry if you sleep on your face. I’ve cried. Literally.
