Ardell Duralash Naturals Individual Lashes , Short, 56 Count

I am sharing this same review on multiple lashes of the same brand, but different sizes. The photo I have included is the "Flare Long Black". Showing 5 of the lash flares.These lashes are awesome! Never in my life have I successfully worn false eyelashes (you know the full set that you glue onto your eyelid). Those are so stiff, very noticeable, and hard to apply perfectly. I decided to try something different, and came across these. I was starting to consider getting eyelash extensions, because that's like the newest craze, but could not bring myself to spend so much money on something that temporary. I watched a few YouTube videos about how to apply these, and went ahead and bought a pack and some of the corresponding dark adhesive.I just had shoulder surgery on my dominant arm, so I braved putting these on with my right hand, very shakily, but still successfully. I was so happy with how these looked and felt! It literally feels like nothing on your eyelashes, and they are the closest thing to a natural eyelash that I've ever felt. Now, after trying these in LONG, I decided that I'd still be happy with something shorter. So I ordered some shorts. The "shorts" mistakenly arrived to me in size medium instead. I talked with Amazon, and sent them back for an exchange, to where I ended up receiving the exact same medium package again (Someone mislabeled the mediums as shorts in the warehouse). I ended up just giving up with trying to return them again, so I used the mediums and decided that I was very happy with the length anyway!! So I ordered some shorts again, figured I could use them for the inner eyelashes that shorten as they get closer your nose. After using the mediums, I fell in love, and bought 4 more packs. Then I put some on my mom who, as she ages, is losing her eyelashes and she was SO impressed. I gave her one of my packs and told her which glue to buy. I also gave her one of my extra pairs of precision tweezers so she'd be ready to go!Make sure you apply these on clean dry lashes, and try not to get them wet for the first day or two, so they don't fall off. They are intended to last up for 4 weeks if they are applied correctly. Make sure you are gluing these to your eyelash and not your skin!!

Great value. Can’t comment on adhesion - that seems like more of an adhesive review. These are great for use between lash fills if you get extensions, or to help fill in corners when using falsies! I like the more natural and full look you can achieve with the small clusters of lashes

THE GOOD:-looks natural-easy to useTHE BAD:-not reusableTHE BOTTOM LINE:The quality is really good. And they look so natural. Lashes are so easy to use as well. The only problem is that you cannot reuse them. Except this thing these lashes are perfect for the stage use.

I had used the individual lashes with the Ardell glue before with AMAZING results. When I wanted to try again for an upcoming event, I purchased more individual lashes because while application is time consuming the end product is totally worth it.Unfortunately, the Ardell glue formula appears to have changed from the last time I used it. So while I have a TON of these amazing lashes.... the glue is a nightmare that doesn't work. I applied a half a pack only to realize when I was done that the glue wasn't really holding anything on very well. I stand behind the lashes and I am looking for new glue.

Ok

My daughter wanted to learn, so I had to be her guinea pig. These are all the S size except at the outer corner. Those are size M. I think she did a pretty good job, quick and easy to use, and a great price. I might buy the black glue next time. The clear Ardell glue(not included) shows a little bit when you look up close.

After watching several YouTube videos online of people doing DIY eyelash extensions using this kit, I really wanted to try it myself.The thing is the glue remover doesn't work WHATSOEVER. I don't think I managed to remove even one cluster the 6+ times I tried it, all it did was burn like hell. The only thing that worked was coconut oil, and even then it only managed to remove one or two clusters at a time after minutes of gentle rubbing and coaxing.After most of the clusters fell of, I realized I was left with only 50% of my natural eyelashes. Obviously I panicked and took to Google. It turns out the reason lash techs speak out against clusters is because it can cause a type of permanent eyelash loss called Traction Alopecia. Traction Alopecia is more likely to happen when you clump together your natural eyelashes with glue or when the extensions themselves are too heavy. Cluster eyelashes are obviously inherently more heavy and a lot harder to only attach to ONE natural lash.If you absolutely must try DIY eyelash extensions, please do not use clusters - go for individuals and use the least amount of glue possible to limit the risk of damaging your natural lashes.If you already bought these you can turn them into individuals by separating them manually.My natural eyelashes might all grow back, but I'm not willing to take that risk a second time. Please be careful and do your research before trying these extensions!

These lashes are natural looking and can be applied individually, so you can use them with your own lashes in places that may be sparse, rather than a strip of full artificial lashes. They can also be used with Falscara. Love that!
