Best natural-lookinv false eyelashes?

I'm 60 and my eyelashes have become shorter and sparser post menopause, as well as my eyelids more droopy. I use a good mascara( Lancome Hypnose) but as I'm attending a few events this summer eg wedding, graduation etc I thought about false lashes. I've never worn them before but there seem to be so many types and lots of them look so fake and are far too full and bushy.

Can anyone recommend any false lashes that look like natural lashes but a bit better? I would prefer ones with a thin line to stick on the eyelid rather than a thick one if possible.
I want removable false lashes rather than have lash extensions.

Have noticed typo in thread title but can't change it.

You could try an eyelash serum, which seem to be quite successful, from the reviews. My lashes are sparse and faded. False eyelashes are never going to look natural, and can look ridiculous, especially on an older woman, like myself.

search for invisible band lashes and use a clear drying glue, like duo ☺️ eylure have some natural looking ones

Also, 3/4 lashes look more natural imo

I like Silly George, I used the pop ons for a recent wedding, lashes lasted 3 days and might have lasted longer but I use quite a lot of oil based products due to eczema.

This is my worry, in the past few years I've really reduced the amount of make up I wear because it can look clownish on an older face eg I used to love eyeshadows but they seem to look too much now, I think lipstick is good because it gives my face a lift, but I am a bit worried about the false eyelashes looking too fake, that's why I asked about natural looking ones.

UK Lash is a great serum to grow your lashes. I get results a lot quicker than the suggested 8-12 weeks.

I've never worn false lashes but got some Kiss Falscara lashes recently. They are small groups of lashes and go under rather than over your natural lashes. My plan is to just use a couple on my outer eyes not right across.
There are application videos on YouTube and they look easy which is why I went for them....however, I've not tried yet so can't report back.

I'm in the same position, plus I find that mascara often makes my eyes sore now.

I bought these. Lots of different styles, I got the D2. Short, wispy lashes. They are a bit fiddly to get used to putting them on and getting them in the right place, but, after a few tries, I can do them quite easily now.

I love them. They look pretty much how my lashes used to look with mascara on when I was younger. They don't look false at all, and once they are on, and in the right position I can't feel them either
