I have very tiny, hard to see eyelashes. It looks like I have none lol. I stopped wearing mascara as it was starting to upset my sensitive eyes. Also seems to always give me the panda eyes thing.

I do not want to lash dye them as they are so short too. I seem to get dust in my eyes and I often wonder if its due to the eye lash thing.

Any easy to use false lashes I can buy? Can anyone recommend?

Have you checked to make sure you haven’t got blepharitis?

I have not checked my eyes in a while I am due a test actually.

Not false lashes but I have easily irritated eyes with short lashes and always struggled with panda eyes too, before switching to a tubing mascara. I find it doesn’t flake at all so is much nicer to wear. I briefly tried some cluster false lashes with 7 day bonding glue but found they irritated my eyes more

ok thank you, tubing mascara sounds interesting, can you recommend a brand at all? I would rather have length than thickness if I had to choose.

There's loads of good tubing ones. Boots No.7 have one in their range.

Try loreal extensionist

Squirrelsnut · 17/06/2026 22:58

Also Elf lash xtender.

FortyFacedFuckers · 17/06/2026 22:58

I was a lash extension addict for 20+ years but a few months ago I tried the Lola’s pre glued lashes and I am now a convert

You could try a lash serum too. Uk Lash works well. My lashes are definitely longer.

TheCurious0range · 17/06/2026 22:59

I have sensitive eyes and use no7 stay perfect it's not very expensive and the only thing that doesn't give me panda eyes. If I want more volume use No7 lash impact primer underneath, both really good

I would second this, I had a b12 deficiency for a while and it really affected all of my hair including my eyelashes and this and the brow version really helped

@Teainapinkcup
I also use UK Lash serum, it really works has over 50k positive reviews

As pp, lash serum, and once you’ve used it for a while, eyelash lift.

Got mine done about a month ago and it’s made an amazing difference to my lashes.

GrimDamnFanjo · 18/06/2026 00:28

I agree with a lash serum but make sure it’s peptide based.
id consider having permanent lashliner - not eyeliner- this is tattooing between the lashes and gives great eye definition.

Flatinbed · 18/06/2026 06:03

I use revitalash advanced. Shockingly expensive! But it definitely works. My lashes are longer and seem thicker. Very happy. In fact i don't know what I am going to do when it runs out....

Was about to suggest the same. It works really well.

Teainapinkcup · 18/06/2026 11:51

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

Another vote for uk lash serum. Works well for
my lashes.

Springbuck · 18/06/2026 21:19

Definitely use a lash serum. I use rapid lash but I’ve heard good things about other brands. When I’m not using it my lashes are no more than three mm. You need to trust the process and use it every day. You will see results from about four weeks.
I often get asked where I get my lashes done because they’re so long.

PembrokeshireDangler · 18/06/2026 22:47

Revitalash - it's fantastic stuff.
