The Best False Eyelashes for Beginners: Easiest Types & Application Tips

New to false lashes? The easiest place to start is with a lash that is simple to position, forgiving if you make a mistake, and does not involve messy lash glue.

For beginners, pre-glued cluster lashes can be easier to manage than traditional strip lashes because you apply smaller sections one at a time instead of positioning an entire lash band at once.

At Nodspark, our Lazy Lashes are pre-glued DIY cluster lashes designed to make applying false eyelashes easier, even if you have never worn lashes before.

Why Cluster Lashes Are Easier for Beginners

Traditional strip lashes require you to apply glue, wait for it to become tacky, position the entire band and keep the inner and outer corners from lifting.

Cluster lashes are applied in smaller sections, giving you more control over placement. Lazy Lashes are also worn underneath your natural lashes, creating a more seamless finish without a visible strip sitting above your lash line.

Because Lazy Lashes are pre-glued, there is no separate liquid adhesive to apply. Simply pick up each cluster and place it underneath your natural lashes.

Clear Band or Black Band: Which Is Best for Beginners?

Clear Band Lazy Lashes

If this is your first time applying DIY lashes, start with a clear band.

The transparent band blends into your natural lash line, making small placement imperfections much less noticeable. The result is also softer and more natural, making clear bands our most beginner-friendly option.

Black Band Lazy Lashes

Black bands create a more defined, eyeliner-like effect along the lash line.

Because the band is visible, gaps or uneven placement can be easier to spot. We recommend trying these once you are more comfortable applying clusters.

5 Beginner Tips for Applying Cluster Lashes

1. Practise with One Cluster First

Use one cluster to practise picking up, positioning and placing the lash before attempting your full set. Getting familiar with the movement makes the rest much easier.

2. Start with Fewer Clusters

You don't always need a full lash line. Depending on your eye size, 2 to 4 clusters per eye may be enough. Try two clusters towards the outer corners for an easy, subtle lift.

3. Don't Apply Too Close to the Corners

Leave a little space from your inner corner to prevent poking or discomfort. At the outer corner, avoid extending the clusters beyond your natural lash line.

4. Check Where the Adhesive Is

Lazy Lashes come with adhesive already applied to the band. Position the adhesive against the root area of your natural lashes, avoiding direct contact with the waterline.

5. Look Down into a Mirror

Place an angled mirror below eye level and look down into it. This gives you a clearer view underneath your natural lashes and makes placement much easier.
