Why are fake eyelashes more popular these days?

In recent years, the beauty world has been shaking by the rapid growth of one versatile, glamorous accessory: fake eyelashes.

False eyelashes have long been the perfect option for enhancing your face, but they were historically heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Thankfully today there is an abundance of lightweight lashes that are delightfully easy to flutter. They come in many different styles and colours, and as they are temporary, they make the perfect no-commitment change to your everyday look. At Noble Lashes we provide you with endless choice so you can experiment with your aesthetic!

False eyelashes are so popular today because they are very simple but add something so spectacular to your look. They give a beautiful, bold, elongated look that mascara alone cannot provide. False eyelashes take just a few minutes to apply, so are ideal for elevating your look in a hurry. High-quality eyelashes such as ours can be reused, so carefully remove the glue once you are done and they will be ready for your next outing! Being able to use your false eyelashes more than once makes them super affordable and sustainable.

What Is So Special About False Eyelashes?

A great thing about false eyelashes is that they are a quick and easy way to get a black and bold eye look with all the drama and none of the cakiness. They can multiply your real eyelashes to give you a full set that takes your look up a level.

So no matter how much you love mascara, try a pair of false eyelashes and you will be a convert! You can wear mascara on top of false eyelashes if you like but choose a good quality pair and you won’t need to. Once you have got the hang of the application, falsies will keep their curled shape long after your mascara-coated lashes would have started drooping. Not to mention that false eyelashes generally cause much less mess than mascara. Pop on a pair and you can wave goodbye to stray black marks and panda eyes!

False eyelashes are made from synthetic materials. All sets are fixed to your lash line with special glue, so you can simply remove them after wear. This makes them perfect for occasional wear, as you can rock some dramatic lashes at night and go au naturel in the day.

When Were False Eyelashes Created?

False eyelashes have a very colourful history. They were patented by a Canadian inventor in 1911, but the concept is much older than this. It is believed that in ancient Egypt, men and women darkened their eyelashes with kohl and ointments to protect their eyes from the harsh desert sun.

Fast forward a few thousand years, and false eyelashes are just as popular today. Throughout the decades, we have seen styles come and go and one source of constant inspiration is celebrity culture.

In the 1940s and 50s, big false lashes really came into their own. Famous movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth loved wearing false eyelashes to give them a glamorous, eye-catching look.

The 1960s saw the emergence of wide-eyed British model, Twiggy. The Swinging Sixties was all about youthful adventure, and false lashes gave Twiggy that iconic innovative look. She led the way for more models such as Jean Shrimpton, who liked to sport an even more extreme look.

Back in the 1970s, beauty trends were more muted and natural. And in the 80s, the spotlight was on blushes and dark lipsticks. One of the most recognisable faces from the era is the glossy-haired Cher, who was the perfect model for striking false eyelashes.

A lot of the fashion of the 1990s was an homage to 1950s retro, bombshell glamour. This meant that fluttery false lashes were back with a bang! Some of the trailblazers of this trend included Cindy Crawford and Pamela Anderson.

So false eyelashes enjoyed a steady rise in popularity from the 1940s thanks to the emergence of celebrity. But we hadn’t seen anything yet, as the turn of the millennium brought with it an explosion of many types of false eyelashes. Early in the decade, singer Jennifer Lopez sported red fox fur eyelashes at the 2001 Academy Awards. In 2004, the legendary Madonna wore a pair of $10,000 mink and diamond lashes to promote her latest tour. With some of the world’s most famous women wearing false eyelashes, they became much more accessible to people all over the world.
