In the world of beauty, false lashes have become a staple in makeup routines, offering an easy way to elevate a makeup look. As the demand for false lashes continues to grow, the market has expanded with a variety of of options catering to every style and preference. People have moved from strip lashes to individual and cluster lashes, but what is the difference between cluster lashes and individual lashes.

Cluster lashes

Unlike individual lashes - which are applied one by one - and strip lashes - which are applied as a full strip - cluster lashes come in small groups of lashes. These lashes resemble strip lashes, but are cut into smaller sections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cluster lashes are affordable and require less application time compared to individual lashes.
  • These lashes add volume as they fill a lot of space along the lash line achieving more lash density.
  • Cluster lashes offer versatility in achieving various effects like a natural or dramatic look.

Cons

  • Cluster lashes don’t last as long as individual lash extensions.
  • They require regular touch-ups to help fill in any gaps, ensuring a consistent and full appearance.
  • Like strip lashes, cluster lashes are heavier on the eyes compared to individual lashes.

Individual lashes

Individual lashes provide a more realistic classic lash appearance. Individual lashes can be customised with various lengths and thickness allowing for a more personalised appearance.
