Ulta Fake Lashes Review: Finding the Perfect Pair for You

False eyelashes have become an increasingly popular way to enhance one's natural beauty, offering a quick and easy way to add volume, length, and drama to your look. Ulta Beauty offers a wide variety of fake lashes, catering to different preferences and skill levels. This review explores several options, highlighting their features, benefits, and application tips, helping you navigate the selection and find the perfect pair for your desired aesthetic.

Velour Lashes: Hemp-Derived Fibres for a Natural Look

Velour Lashes are a popular choice, known for their quality and natural appearance. These lashes often feature hemp-derived fibres and recyclable packaging, with paperboard box & soy-based ink, appealing to the eco-conscious consumer.

Velour Lashes - Option 1 (Item 2612592)

These lashes have a round shape and natural volume with a criss-cross, clustered pattern. The length ranges from 4.5-11mm, and they have a full-length band. A key benefit is their multi-wear capability, lasting for 20+ applications, coupled with a lightweight design for all-day comfort.

Application:

1. Measure and trim: Lay the lash on top of your natural lash line and trim if needed.
2. Adhesive options:
   • Option A: Velour Lash Adhesive (sold separately): Apply a thin layer to the lash band and wait 30 seconds until the formula turns from white to a blue sheen.
   • Option B: Velour Lash & Go Eyeliner (sold separately): Apply from inner to outer corner of the lash line and apply the false lash while the eyeliner is still wet.
   • Option C: Velour Glue & Go Pen (sold separately): Apply the Velour Glue & Go Pen directly onto your natural lash line, from inner to outer corner.
   • Velour Lashes recommends applying the adhesive to one eye at a time because Lash & Go and Glue & Go dry down pretty quickly.
3. Placement: Place the lash along your lash line and adjust as necessary. Repeat on the other eye.

Removal and Care:

Gently remove lashes by peeling from the outer to inner corner of your eye. Store them in the box when not in use to maintain their shape and longevity. Gently remove lashes from box from one corner to the other - do not force.

Velour Lashes - Option 2 (Item 2592138)

Similar to the previous option, these lashes also feature a round shape and natural volume with a criss-cross pattern. The length is slightly shorter, ranging from 6-9mm, and they also have a full-length band. They share the same benefits of multi-wear (20+ times) and lightweight comfort. The application and care instructions are identical to the previous Velour Lashes option.

Velour Lashes - Option 3 (Item 2592137)

These lashes have a flare shape and full volume with a criss-cross pattern. They have a 3/4 band length. These lashes are beginner-friendly, multi-wear (25+ times), easy application, no measuring or trimming required, lightweight for all-day comfort and cruelty-free.

Application:

1. Velour Lashes recommends curling your natural lashes and applying mascara before you apply false lashes. A gentle curl of your natural lashes will lift them up, giving more structure and support to the false lash.

2. Gently remove lashes from the tray. Toggle the band back and forth to ensure the lash isn't stiff for application.

3. Adhesive options:

   • Option A: Using Velour Lash Adhesive (sold separately): Apply a thin layer to the lash band and wait 30 seconds. The formula actually turns from white to a blue sheen so you'll know it's ready to apply.
   • Option B: Using Velour Lash & Go Eyeliner (sold separately): Starting with one eye, apply from inner to outer corner of the lash line. Apply the false lash while the eyeliner is still wet. Lash & Go dries down pretty quickly, so Velour Lashes recommends doing this on one eye at a time.

4. Placement: Using the Velour Too Easy Lash Applicator (sold separately), place the lash as close to your natural lash line as possible and adjust as necessary.

   • Pro Tips:If the false lash is shorter than your natural lash line, make sure it's sitting on the outer three-quarters of the eye, lined up with the outer edge of your lash line. It will look the most natural this way. While placing the lash onto your lash line, some people find it easiest to see what you're doing if you hold a mirror just below your face. Look down into the mirror while tilting your head upwards and back slightly. This should stretch the skin of your eyelid, giving you better visibility to where you're applying the lash exactly.

Removal and Care:

Gently remove lashes by peeling from the outer to inner corner of your eye. Gently remove lashes from the box from one corner to the other - do not force.

KISS Lashes: Effortless Application for a Minimal Look

3. Apply lashes along natural lash line.

KISS Lashes - Option 2 (Item 2619130)

These lashes share similar features with the previous KISS option, including easy application, comfort, and an effortless minimal look. They also provide a lash lift effect for longer and fuller lashes. Notably, they are vegan and contact lens friendly.

Item 2617567

These lashes offer a blend of black, brown, and red wine colors, crafted from 100% cruelty-free faux silk fibers with an invisible clear band. They are reusable up to 15 times and provide a natural volume with rounded lash style.

Application:

1. Curl: Gently curl your natural lashes and apply mascara.
2. Trim: Measure the false eyelash band against your natural lash line and trim the band if needed.
3. Bend: Gently bend the false eyelash band into a 'U' shape.
4. Glue: Coat the false eyelash band with glue and let sit for 40+ seconds. Wait for the glue to become tacky before applying the lash for better adhesion.
5. Apply: Place the lash strip onto the center of your natural lash line with a lash applicator or tweezers. Adjust the inner and outer corners. Gently pinch the lash band and your natural lash line together to secure the false lash.

Warning: If the band is too long, it could irritate your lash line or eye. Remove it immediately and let your skin calm down. Adding excess glue could dry out your lash line or cause irritation when removing it. Use only as directed. Apply the glue only to the false eyelashes band and apply the lash band to your eyelid above your lash line. Do not apply the glue or lash band directly to your natural eyelashes. If band is too long, this could irritate your lash line or eye. Remove immediately and let your skin calm.

Item 2599328

These lashes are made with ultra-fine fibers that effortlessly blend with mascara or bare lashes, providing a soft flare for a natural look and authentic confidence. The comfortable band ensures all-day wear. They are individually handcrafted, made to last for 15+ wears, made with synthetic fibers and 100% cruelty-free.

Application:

1. Carefully remove eyelash from tray by easing them away from the half-moon in a downward motion.
2. Measure the lash against your eye. Cut away any excess lash from the outer corner.
3. Hold each end of the lash band, create a c-shape by bringing the corners inwards to flex the lash. Adding this curve to the band will help when applying to the eyelid.
4. Apply lash glue to the band and wait approximately 20-30 seconds for glue to become tacky.
5. Once tacky, look downwards into a mirror to apply lash to your eyelid. Position the band as close to your natural lashes as possible. Apply to center of eyelid first, then apply inner and outer corners.
6. Allow glue to dry thoroughly, once dried it will be clear.
7. If you would like to further blend the false lash to your natural lash, apply a bit of mascara. This is optional.

Removal:

Hold the lash at outer corner and peel it off the eyelid from the outer corner towards the nose (it won't hurt). Add a little of an oily substance to a cue-tip and run along lashline to help soften the glue if needed. Remove lashes before you remove any of your eye makeup. Removing carefully will allow lash to be reused numerous times.

If band is too long, this could irritate your lash line or eye. Remove immediately and let your skin calm.

Choosing the Right Lashes

When selecting false eyelashes, consider the following factors:

• Desired look: Do you want a natural, subtle enhancement or a dramatic, voluminous effect?
• Lash band: Full-length bands offer more coverage, while 3/4 bands can be easier to apply and more comfortable for some. Clear bands blend seamlessly, while black bands can add definition.
• Material: Hemp-derived fibres offer a natural look and are environmentally friendly. Synthetic fibers are often more affordable and durable. Faux silk fibers provide a soft and luxurious feel.
• Skill level: Beginner-friendly options are easier to apply, while more intricate designs may require more practice.
• Adhesive: Choose an adhesive that is suitable for your skin type and provides a strong, long-lasting hold. Consider options like Velour Lash Adhesive, Velour Lash & Go Eyeliner, or KISS Strip Lash Adhesive.
• Eye shape: Different lash styles complement different eye shapes. Experiment to find what works best for you.

General Tips for Applying False Eyelashes

• Always measure and trim the lashes to fit your natural lash line.
• Apply adhesive sparingly and allow it to become tacky before applying the lashes.
• Use a lash applicator or tweezers for precise placement.
• Look down into a mirror while applying the lashes to get a better view of your lash line.
• Press the lashes gently onto your natural lash line to secure them.
• Use mascara to blend the false lashes with your natural lashes.
