FAQS LASHES

For beginners, we recommend strip lashes instead of individual lashes. Some shorter, natural looking Ardell, Gypsy, or Andrea lash strip eyelashes styles are Ardell Fashion lashes #108, #109, #110, #126, LashLites Demure, Gypsy #90, Gypsy 91, Red Cherry 747S, Red Cherry 747XS, Andrea Modlash #53 and #21. For a thicker, dramatic look Andrea Modlash 33, Ardell Runway Tyra, Elise 552, and Ardell #101 Demi, 105, and 107 are good choices. The style and color you choose will depend on your personal preference and expectation. It should be one you are comfortable wearing as well as a style that fits your face and makeup. For lash newbies, we recommend trying out a few styles of lashes you think you might like to make sure the look suits you first before buying more.

I personally gone through about 8 styles before settling on Fashion Lashes #110 for daily wear and Runway Daisy (and Fashion Lashes #103) lashes for evening out.

Many of you have already noticed the change of the once familiar original pink packaging (pink insert, pink or white tray) to the new blue, purple, or the newest black packaging. For example Ardell has rebrand Ardell Fashion lashes to the updated black Ardell Natural Lashes and Ardell Professional Natural Lashes packaging. There is no difference in the quality of lashes between the original and the new packaging designs as the lashes in the tray are the exact same lashes. This is true for both strip and individual lashes.

Strip lashes tend to be easier to apply for lash novices. Whether you are applying strip or individual lashes, some skills are always needed for beginners. Strip lashes are less time consuming to apply and are great for daily wear. It really helps to use a quality lash adhesive such as DUO Surgical, Sherani, or Everlash Flexibands for all day hold. Occasionally you may need to touch up the inner corner of the strip (make sure the adhesive does not touch the lashes) with additional glue if necessary.

Individual lashes require much steadier hands and skills.

No. Ardell and Andrea lashes do not come with pre-glued strip (band) nor does it come with a lash adhesive. You'll have to buy the adhesive separately. Skip those low quality, grade *cheap glues* from Asia; they can contain skin/eye-irritating ingredients. We recommend the following strip and individual lash adhesives for your false lashes: LashGrip (waterproof), DUO Eyelash (waterproof), DUO Surgical (Surgical Grade, Gentle), Modlash Adhesive (similar to LashGrip), Everlash FlexiBands (Medical Grade), LashTite Adhesive (for individual lashes, daily wear), Permalash Adhesive (similar to LashTite), and Everlash Individual Adhesive (Medical Grade, for individual lashes)..

You can use mascara to enhance the look of your false eyelashes. Make sure to apply the mascara and eyeliner only AFTER the false eyelashes are secure and the eyelash adhesive is completely dry. To apply, coat your falsies with only one layer of OIL FREE mascara. The mascara will act as a second-glue and reinforce the hold of your falsies to your real lashes.

As a regular mascara alternative, we recommend ARDEL LashMagic (Blending Mascara). LashMagic is formulated specifically to blend natural lashes into false ones making them virtually undetectable giving a more natural look. The LashMagic is designed to coat each lash in just ONE stroke so there is no heavy build up. And what is more, the formula is water soluble and can be easily removed without ruining a perfect pair of Ardell or Andrea false eyelashes.

Many strip lash users with latex sensitivities or allergy routinely use individual lash adhesives to hold their strip lashes. Latex adhesive includes: LashGrip, DUO Eyelash Adhesive, Modlash, and DUO Surgical Adhesive. If you are not already using DUO Surgical Adhesive, you can give that a try since it is milder than LashGrip and Modlash glue. If DUO Surgical adhesive does not do the trick, we would recommend latex-free acrylate based adhesives such as Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive, DUO Brush On Adhesive, and Ardell Brush-On Lash Adhesive.

Even though these acrylate based adhesives do not contain rubber latex, they may contain other ingredients that you may be allergic to. Just to make sure, apply a spot of the adhesive on your forearm for a few hours to see if you develop any itch, irritation or any discomfort.

No if proper application and removal technique is followed. It is imperative to make sure you are not allergic to the lash adhesive (we always recommend spot test on the waist to see if you are allergic to any of the lash glue ingredient. We offer latex free and self-adhesive false lashes. Make sure correct application and lash removal technique is followed.

Absoluately. You can wear them both at the same time. Put the contacts on first and then put the false lashes on.

There are different benefits to both.

Ardell Duralash and Andrea Permalash areavailable in knotted (FLARE) and knot-free (NATURALS). Knotted lash clusters have a knot joining the lashes. These lashes offer a better hold than Naturals (knot-free) lashes since the knots provide more surface area for the glue to stick. Knotted lashes are also easier to apply.

Duralash Naturals (knot-free), Andrea Naturals, and Gypsy Flare (knot free) do not have any knots so they do not hold as well as their knotted counterparts. However, Naturals provides a more natural appearance. It definitely blends in with your natural lashes much better.

1. For lashes applied with DUO adhesive, use warm water and gentle soap.
2. For LashTite and Permalash Adhesive, use Ardell LashFree Remover.
3. For semi-permanent Everlash Individual lash adhesive, Everlash Adhesive Remover works the best.

SIndividual lashes are available in two types:

1) Single (Duralash Regular, Elise #518)

Single individual lashes come with a STRIP of 'lash' that is slightly flared.

2) Clusters (Duralash Flare and Duralash Naturals).

Cluster lashes come with several 'lashes' joined at one end, usually with a knot (Duralash Flare).

Absoluately. You can wear them both at the same time. Put the contacts on first and then put the false lashes on.
