The 9 Best False Eyelashes for Skyscraper Length Without the Mascara

What makes these LOVESEEN lashes so iconic? First off, they're basically weightless, thanks to their lightweight nylon and P.E.T.-based lashes. They're also easy to glue on, and you can even grab a helpful lash tool from their site to make the application easier than ever.

LOVESEEN is the brainchild of fashion designer Jenna Lyons and celebrity makeup artist Troi Ollivierre, so you already know this brand will be nothing less than sublime. Don't believe us? Well, Brian Underwood, beauty director of O, The Oprah Magazine — plus our very own parenting editor, Cat Bowen — also vouches for this amazing lash brand that you just simply can't miss out on.

Underwood is a fan of all the lashes under their line, but Bowen says the “Jack” set is her favorite for an all-natural look that you can wear any day.

Alexis Gaskin, freelance beauty assistant over at Elle, says she can't get enough of these bargain-friendly lashes — and I guarantee you won't either.

These lashes truly stand out for their ultra-thin band, which makes them look oh, so real. Since the bands are thin, their lash application is a total breeze, but you will need your own lash glue for this set.

But with its super-low price tag, you can feel free to stock up on all the glue you'd like — plus a few more pairs of these lashes!

“These award-winning lashes are my hands-down favorite on the face of the Earth — and I’ve tried a lot of false eyelashes,” says Jennifer Hussein, our former beauty editor.

“I have super shaky hands, so one of the best parts of these lashes is that they’re no-trim, which means you don’t have to cut them down (and potentially ruin them) before applying them. You can simply swipe on some lash glue, stick them on, and you’re all set,” she says.

Another reason why Hussein loves these lashes is that they give her natural eyelashes a subtle zhoosh without teetering on obviously fake territory.

Ardell is synonymous with false eyelashes, so it’s no surprise the signature #110 lashes are featured on this list.

These non-intimidating lashes are great for daily wear and beginners looking to give falsies a whirl. They sport a clear lash band you won’t have to camouflage with eyeliner or eyeshadow. They also alternate between medium and long synthetic hairs to give a realistic “your lashes but better” feel.

While owning five sets of the same eyelash may seem extra, you’ll be thrilled to have backups. Not only do you have enough lashes to last you at least a month, but on nights when you want to amplify your eye look, you can layer two sets of lashes for drama.

If you've gotten lash extensions before, then you know there's usually a big difference in the look and feel of mink-based lashes versus synthetic versions. But if you'd rather stick to cruelty-free options, Bowen says these lashes from Huda Beauty are the perfect substitution.

These lashes have the exact look and feel of a fresh set of mink extensions, yet they're made out of 100% synthetic mellow fibers attached to a comfy cotton band. These dramatically glam lashes are perfect for any IRL or virtual events you have coming up.

Magnetic lashes are a fun, trendy innovation that takes the messy glue out of your beauty routine. While they sound amazing, know that not all magnetic lashes are made the same, and some may actually break your lashes or lead to infection (as with most lashes) if you're not careful.

That's why when it comes to finding a reliable set of lashes with a magnetic band, I always opt for these from Glamnetic. All of Glamnetic's lashes are super easy to use and simply click together to stay on your lashes all day without slipping off or pulling at your lashes.

This set in particular is our favorite for days when we want all the volume without an intensely fake look.

Based on actual salon lash extensions, this kit includes everything you need to recreate a lash extension finish without actually dedicating time (and money) to getting your lashes done.

"This particular set is my personal recommendation because it's meant to mimic D-curl lash extensions, the most dramatic finish you can get to create a cat-eye look that opens your eyes," says Hussein.

The Eyelure kit includes everything you need to create your perfect eye-opening look: sectioned lashes so you can place them where you please, an easy-to-use dual-sided application wand that contains a black bond on one end, and a clear sealant on the other, and an applicator.

When it comes to vegan anything, you can't go wrong with Tarte. That's why I highly recommend these lashes if you're looking for truly animal-free lashes. On top of their stellar $12 price tag, each set of these lashes features 100% vegan synthetic lashes that look and feel just like your natural ones, all attached on a single clear comfort-fit cotton strip.

Psst: If you're looking for a vegan lash adhesive to go with these, Tarte's got your back with this clear adhesive.

Personally, if I'm going for a more intense look, I want a dramatic lash that isn't too dramatic. And when it comes to fitting our Goldilocks-like taste, these fit the bill.

They hit the sweet spot between barely there and too much. These hand-crafted lashes flawlessly blend in with your natural ones and instantly add length, volume, and definition.

The only downside? They're made out of mink, so if you want to stay truly cruelty-free, you may want to opt out of buying this set.
