If you have never tried clusters, this is the easy door in. The clusters come pre-glued, so there is no bottle to fumble with, and the kit has three mapped looks (natural, volume, wispy). I press them on right under my own lashes at the outer corner ...

Wispies are the strip lash I recommend to anyone who thinks false lashes look fake. The crisscrossed, feathery tips blend into your own lashes instead of looking like a solid fringe. Trim the band a few millimeters at the outer end so it sits flat an...

Curl first, then apply anything else. A curled natural lash makes clusters and strips blend in far better because the curve already matches. I clamp at the base, then again in the middle and near the tips, which is the pulse method Shiseido recommend...

There are 36 soft clusters in 8, 10 and 12 mm, so you can put the short ones at the inner corner and the long ones at the outer for a lifted shape. Glue is not included, so pair it with a cluster adhesive. They are reusable for several wears if you p...

A great value if you want to experiment, since it holds 100 clusters in four styles (Naked, Faux Mink, Wispies and D-Curl) and the brand says up to 24 applications. The clusters go on lash-on-lash, so the glue never touches your skin. It is also sold...

Rachael Grassi profile picture
Fifty clusters in four lengths (8 to 14 mm) is a lot of lash for the price, and the brand says each set gives up to eight applications. They look light and feathery rather than blocky. I would treat these as a step up once you are comfortable with th...

A cream does not run into your eyes the way a liquid can. Dab a pea-sized amount on the glue points with a microbrush, leave it on for about fifteen minutes, then lift the lashes off with a lint-free wipe. It is thick and unscented, and I use it when...
élan beauté Lash Cream Remover

A two-step adhesive: the black bond grips and defines, then the seal takes away the stickiness and locks everything in. Ardell says it holds up to ten days and is water-resistant but not waterproof. Pat dry after showers instead of rubbing so the sea...

Four pairs of reusable strips with a superfine band, in lengths from 7 to 15 mm. The band is thin enough that I forget I am wearing it. Pull each pair off with a little remover on a cotton pad and it holds its shape for several wears.

An inexpensive daily remover that is oil-free and contact-lens safe, so it will not weaken the glue the way an oil cleanser can. It has hyaluronic acid, cucumber and chamomile in it. I keep it for the nights I wear a cluster set and want to clean aro...
