Anna Taylor established the first false lashes.

  1. False lashes go all the way back to turn of the century France. Wigmakers would sew human hairs onto the eyelids of others. This form of enhancing your eyelashes became popular because it was a way to make them brighter and bigger. In 1911, a woman by the name of Anna Taylor became the first person to create the original strip lash. These eyelashes were placed onto the eyelid by form of an adhesive. This replaced the first form of false lashes because it was a lot easier and less painful than sewing them into your natural lashes. As time went on the application of lashes became simpler as well as the removal of them. Lashes took a huge turn in the 60s when the false lashes were modeled on the top and bottom. This drew more attention to the false lashes and the demand for them grew.

Semi-permanent lashes were introduced in the US in 2004 after Korea developed them. This technique of lash enhancement was the gluing of individual false lashes to your natural ones. This would allow them to stay on for weeks before falling out. Big celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton were just two of many to hop on this trend. After the public noticed some of their favorite celebrities wearing the lashes, the false lashes industry rose again. These lashes are made from synthetic fibers, animal hair, or silk. This form of lashes is more natural looking and less dangerous for your natural lashes.

Modern strip lashes are extremely popular in today’s society. Makeup artists use them on almost all of their clients because they are simple to apply and take off. The first magnetic strip lashes were established by Katy Stoka in 2014. Although glue-on lashes remained the most popular, this was just another form of false lashes that expanded the industry. False lashes are the most popular they have ever been especially with a natural appearance.
