My Journey with Eyelash Clusters: A TikTok-Inspired Beauty Staple

One of the first beauty products I was influenced to buy from TikTok was eyelash clusters. I’ve always adored the glamorous look of false eyelashes, but I could never get them right—they didn’t fit my eyes properly and felt like a hassle. Then I discovered individual lash clusters, applied under your natural lashes, and I was instantly intrigued.

I bought my first pack and nervously asked my friend Bella if she’d help me apply them. To my surprise, she was just as excited to try them! Fast forward a year and a half, and I can’t imagine my makeup routine without them. I started with B & Q lashes, but since they’re hard to find now, I’ve switched to Laubess . My go-to style is manga lashes—staggered, wispy, and bold, they make my eyes pop and feel so flattering.

For those new to lash clusters, here’s a quick guide to the specs you’ll see when shopping:

  • Number of Fibers (e.g., 30 or 50): This indicates how many lash fibers are in each cluster. A higher number, like 50, means more volume and intensity.

  • Curl Type: A C curl is more natural, while a D curl offers a dramatic, upward lift. Manga lashes often use a D curl for maximum impact.

  • Length (e.g., 9-16mm): Kits include a range of lengths. Shorter lashes (9-12mm) are subtle, while longer ones (14-18mm) are bold and eye-catching.

  • Thickness (e.g., 0.05-0.10mm): Thinner lashes (0.05-0.07mm) look delicate, while thicker ones (0.10mm+) are more striking.

For example, a kit labeled “50D-0.07-9-16MIX” means you’re getting clusters with 50 fibers (high volume), a 0.07mm thickness, a mix of 9-16mm lengths, and a dramatic D curl.

Eyelash clusters have transformed my beauty routine, and I love how customizable they are. Have you tried them yet? Let me know your favorite lash styles in the comments!
