Hey, beauties! With all of the different types of false lashes on the market, it can become a bit overwhelming when trying to narrow down on the differences and which one is right for you. Just what are mink lashes anyway? And how do they compare to synthetic lashes? Luckily for you, we’re going to break it down and explain the main differences between the two most common types of strip false lashes: Synthetic and Mink. We hope this helps you make the right decision to achieve your most beautiful eyes yet!top eyelash vendors

The most common false eyelashes on the market are made from synthetic materials, typically plastic fibres, which look quite unnatural, as they are thicker than the typical human lashes, and also have stubbier ends. They can also be quite heavy and uncomfortable to wear due to the thicker and less malleable band.

On the contrary, mink lashes are light-weight and comfortable to wear because the fibres are softer and lighter, and naturally carry a beautiful curl. With ESQIDO's mink lashes, we also use a handcrafted cotton band that is extremely flexible, offering unparalleled comfort and ease of application. Every strand of ESQIDO mink lashes are expertly crafted by hand to create a unique and natural effect that no machine or synthetic lashes can imitate. Each fur strand is ultra fine, with the ends tapered off, giving you lashes that are virtually indistinguishable from your own.

An advantage that synthetic lashes have, is that they tend to be an inexpensive product, and are often sold for $10-$20 dollars at your local beauty retailer. They generally last for a single wear, or up to 3-4 wears. ESQIDO mink lashes on the other hand, can be worn up to 25 times with proper care, which often justifies the higher price point. Combined with the higher quality of materials and the beautiful styles, it's a smart investment in any lady's makeup bag.
WHAT ARE SYNTHETIC LASHES?

Synthetic lashes are the most common type of false eyelashes, which are made from plastic man-made fibers. The lashes tend to be a lot thicker in comparison to the natural human lash and are meant to be disposed of after a single use.

WHAT ARE MINK LASHES?

So, what are mink lashes made of? They are made from real mink fur, which allows for a light, soft, fluffy and ultimately, more natural look, matching to a similar quality of natural human lashes. Due to the high quality of materials and light weight of the lashes, mink lashes are able to be reused over and over!
QUALITY & COMFORT

Let’s start out with two of the most commonly asked questions, which are: How natural do false eyelashes look? Are they comfortable?

Synthetic

The most common type of false lashes are made from synthetic materials, typically plastic fibers, which are mostly machine moulded, and meant to be disposable or single-use. Due to the construction and the materials, synthetic lashes tend to be a lot thicker than the typical human lashes and have stubbier ends, so there will be a stark contrast between your own natural lashes, and the synthetic lashes you apply.

Since synthetic lashes are made from plastic, the band will be stiffer, and the overall weight will be more substantial, ultimately making them harder to apply (especially for novices), and offer minimal comfort.

Mink

This is where mink lashes takes the cake when comparing the two. Mink hairs are naturally soft and fine, which create a very light-weight experience when wearing the lashes, with much lower sheen for a beautiful, natural look. Since the lash strands are ultra-fine and tapered, they hold a beautiful curl, and they’re virtually indistinguishable from your natural lashes once applied.
With Esqido mink lashes, we also use a handcrafted cotton band that is extremely flexible, which makes them super comfortable and easier to apply. Because of our unique production process and premium materials, our mink lashes can be worn many times!
