Q: Do clusters damage your natural lashes?

CLUSTER LASHES VS STRIP LASHES: WHICH IS BETTER?

4 Reasons Clusters Are Winning (And 1 Reason They Aren't)

Strip lashes have been the standard for decades. But the pendulum is swinging. Clusters offer customization that strips simply cannot match.

Reason 1: Custom Fit. Your eye shape isn't a straight line. Clusters conform to your natural curve. Strips fight it.
Reason 2: No Stiff Band. The knot at the bottom of a cluster is invisible. The strip lash band is a visible plastic shelf.
Reason 3: Precision Placement. Want drama on the outer corner only? Clusters give you complete control.
Reason 4: Durability. Applied under the lash, clusters hold tight. Strips can pop off at the inner corner.

The 1 Reason Strips Win: Speed. Strips are one-and-done. You get the custom fit of a cluster lash WITHOUT the complex application if you choose the right strip.
