How Fake Eyelashes Have Shaped Our Lives

False Eyelashes have been around longer than most people think. In fact, while since the beginning of the 20th century they became extremely well known and popular, they have been around even longer. But the origins we will talk about will start when they became widely seen in movies. From Betty Davis to Jessica Simpson the false eyelash fad is here to stay.

First off, did you know that the first eyelashes in the movies were simply made out of thread and fringe? All that was done for this was that fringe was carefully glued onto the thread and then glued onto the eyelashes. However, these lash extensions looked far from natural even if they did look fabulous back then. And since we are talking about film stars it was well known and expected for these women to look over the top fabulous.

But the problem with these lash extensions is that they were very expensive and very hard to apply. And because they could only be worm by the super stars or the super rich these versions of fake eyelashes did not last very long. So for a brief period in history you do not hear much more about the whole false eyelash fad. However, the 1950´s brought back a renewed interest in these diva looks and Hollywood was once again making them bigger and better for their stars. But it was not only in Hollywood that these became popular.

What’s more, they also went far in finding new ways to make them look more natural. This natural trend began to sweep the world and even today it is much preferred. The way these were made were to duplicate the look of the real lash and then individually put the lashes together in bunches and then glue them to the eyelid.

But since those modest beginnings you can now find an array of fake lash extensions that will really make you think they are the real deal. From feathered lashes to the newer treatments that help curl, lengthen and dye your lashes to match your look you will find that they are much cheaper and more accessible.
