So, because I’m definitely not the only person on a budget who is wondering this — and because I am a certified beauty investigator, after all — I decided to find out. IS there really any benefit to splurging on lashes, or should we all just stick to buying and throwing away the cheap stuff? Let’s explore our options. Application, especially for a lash newbie, can be a nightmare with these. The flexible and thin base provides little space to apply glue. They’re a little lighter and more comfortable, but they’re also much more prone to falling off or peeling up in the corners. After they’re removed, they lose their shape completely, and it honestly feels like all hope is lost in terms of re-wearing them. No joke, several hairs fell right off during removal — and that’s before I attempted to clean them. That thick and unbending base makes applying these lashes easier than it’s ever been for me. The curve of the lash meets the curve of my eye perfectly, and once that thick line of glue hits my lash line, these falsies are here to STAY. But the best thing about the Velour Lashes — and in my opinion, the main reason the brand can charge so much for them — is that they are entirely re-useable. Because they have that thick base, glue doesn’t spread and get onto the lash hairs themselves, so there’s little clean up.
