Mink Lashes: As mentioned earlier, mink lashes are made from the fur of minks. They have a natural, soft, and fluffy appearance, closely resembling real eyelashes.
Flat Lashes: Flat lashes are typically made from synthetic materials like PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) or silk. They have a flat, ellipse-shaped cross-section, which sets them apart from the round cross-section of traditional eyelash extensions.
Appearance:
Mink Lashes: Mink lashes have a natural and feathery look. They are known for their lightweight and comfortable feel, providing a subtle enhancement to the eyes.
Flat Lashes: Flat lashes are designed to provide a bolder and more dramatic look. The flat shape gives them a wider surface area, creating a fuller and darker lash line.
Weight:
Mink Lashes: Mink lashes are lightweight, contributing to their comfort and natural feel.
Flat Lashes: While flat lashes are wider and can provide a denser look, they are often designed to be lightweight as well, ensuring they do not feel heavy on the natural lashes.
Application Technique:
Mink Lashes: Mink lashes are applied individually to each natural lash using a bonding agent. The application process is similar to that of traditional eyelash extensions.
Flat Lashes: Flat lashes, due to their unique shape, may require a slightly different application technique. They are often applied with a wider bonding area, which can create a stronger bond and enhance the longevity of the extensions.
Durability:
Mink Lashes: Mink lashes, when properly cared for, can be durable and reused for multiple applications.
Flat Lashes: Flat lashes are also designed for durability, and like mink lashes, they can be reused with proper maintenance.
When choosing between mink and flat lashes, consider your desired look, comfort preferences, and any ethical considerations related to the use of animal fur in mink lashes. Both types of lashes offer unique benefits, and the choice ultimately depends on individual preferences and style preferences.
