False eyelashes are more than just "eyes that can speak" in photography, they are simply the secret weapon in front of the camera. We often see the "eyelash essence" effect of models in magazine blockbusters, but in fact, the credit of false eyelashes is hidden behind it.
First of all, we have to talk about commercial photography, especially when shooting product advertisements. Eyelashes must be long and curled enough to make eye makeup products look good, just like if the model's eyelashes are not thick enough in a shampoo advertisement, who would believe that your product can promote hair follicle growth? Professional photographers know that natural false eyelashes will produce beautiful halos when illuminated, and can instantly focus the eyes when taking close-ups, which is much better than post-photo editing.
False eyelashes are even more necessary in wedding photography. Bridal makeup needs to last for a long time. Real eyelashes are easy to smudge and look listless in photos. I have seen experienced brides start wearing false eyelashes three months in advance to adapt, so that their eyes can be naturally bright when taking photos. Especially in strong outdoor light, thick false eyelashes can effectively avoid the reflection problem of "dead fish eyes".
But you have to be careful when taking documentary photos. Wearing too exaggerated false eyelashes in life-like scenes will make them look fake, so you have to choose single-cluster models with high simulation. I remember that when I was shooting a wedding, the bride wore the same butterfly model as the Internet celebrity. As a result, the eye makeup in the captured photos was a mess, and the photo editor almost collapsed.
The current popular "pseudo-bare makeup" photography also relies on false eyelashes. What you want is the feeling of "natural beauty", but it's all scheming. Ultra-fine and soft false eyelashes look like they grow on their own, which is especially suitable for the natural style pursued by Xiaohongshu bloggers. I know a photographer who has collected more than 20 kinds of false eyelashes with different curvatures to find the best shooting angle for different face shapes.
Finally, I would like to remind novice photographers to pay attention to the reflective points of false eyelashes when taking portraits. Once when shooting a fashion blockbuster, the model wore false eyelashes with rhinestones, and the whole eye looked like LED lights under the light, and it was impossible to fix it in the later stage. Now we all use matte materials, which make the effect both advanced and controllable.
