Does an feel the anyone use silk lashes?? I'm using novalash and feel the lashes with mascara look a little clumpy because of the texture of these lashes  Anyone else have the same experience?

    Hi there,

    I use Novalash as well. My clients usually do not need the mascara because the glue gives them the mascara effect. I actually have never utilized the mascara at all. Adding a bit of liner and shadow works perfect and the lashes still last close to 4 weeks.

     

    Good luck with it Nicole.

      Silk lashes are great but take some practice as they are really soft and hard to grip at first. They look fantastic if your client wants a very natural soft look. They don't thicken the lashes very easily though.

        I think it really comes down to brand of lashes. Minks and silks can be night and day depending on the manufacture. One company's silks can be soft and flexible and others can be stiff and plastic feeling. Typically, although again it depends on brand, minks have a slightly firmer curl and a bit more gloss to them, more of a mascara look. Silks and soft and have more of a matte finish. I love them.
