It’s official: false lashes have seriously taken over. Everyone from beauty curators on TikTok to your fav celebs is rocking them like never before, and honestly? I’m so here for it. There’s just something about that extra flutter that makes your eyes pop, and TBH, sometimes mascara just doesn’t cut it. So let’s talk lashes, specifically false lashes—the absolute faves of teens and Gen Z right now. Whether you’re just starting out your false lash journey (lol, it’s a real adventure) or you’re already a seasoned pro who can slap them on in under 10 seconds, today I’m dishing on the top brands that everyone from my little sister to all my clients are obsessed with.
If you’re still gluing your eyelid shut by accident, don’t worry! You’re not alone… 😂 Been there, done that, but we grow and glow, right?! Don’t stress. I’m also going to share some ultimate lash hacks as we go, so stay with me. Alright, let’s get to it—here are the top false lash brands loved by teens and Gen Z!
1. Ardell: The O.G. Lash Brand
First up, we HAVE to talk about Ardell. Like seriously, the GOAT of false lashes. I remember my first set of Ardell lashes, and I feel like every one of us started there too. Whether it’s your first time trying falsies or you’ve already got a solid collection, Ardell has got you. They’re affordable, super easy to find (hello, Target and Ulta), and the options? INSANE.
Why Teens and Gen Z Love Ardell:
- Variety: From natural styles to full glam, they’ve got a lash for literally every vibe.
- Magnetic Lashes: If you’re not into the hassle of glue, jump into their magnetic range. These lashes stick with magnets instead of glue—total game changer!
- Demi Wispies: The Ardell Demi Wispies are basically iconic at this point. If I got a dollar for every person I’ve recommended these to, I’d probably own a Lambo by now. 😂
If you’re looking for a ‘your lashes but better’ style, check out Ardell’s Natural 110s. So subtle, but SO cute.
My advice? Stock up because trust me you’ll go through these FAST if you’re into everyday lash wear.
2. Kiss Lashes: For the Perfect Glam Moment
Okay okay, if Ardell is the queen of natural looks, Kiss is the queen who steps into the party and shuts it down with a full-on glam. I love Kiss for those extra bold, dramatic lashes that turn heads. They’re the ones you whip out when you need max volume and that “look at me” moment. Plus, they’re mega-affordable, so you can grab a few without draining your bank account.
Why Kiss Is a Big Deal with Gen Z:
- Bold Styles: If you’re into uber-thick lashes, check their Lash Couture line. It’s all about giving bold, dramatic, and glamorous vibes.
- Easy Application: Yeah, they’ve got these false lashes that come with a special eyeliner that’s also a glue—two birds, one stone!
- Reusable: Not only are they sturdy but you can re-wear them for a loooong time if you take care of them. Just clean them and put them back in the box.
I personally LOVE Kiss in their “01” style for my clients when I’m giving them a soft glam look. It’s bold enough, but not extra-extra.
If you’re all about that effortless glam, Kiss Lashes in ‘Gala’ are THE move. It’s giving full glam without even trying.
3. Lily Lashes: Celebrity-Level Drama Lashes
Now, if you’re into the major drama, queen vibes, Lily Lashes is where it’s at. Luxurious? YES. These are the kinds of lashes you see on your fave beauty Youtubers or Insta-queens when they serve up FULL BEAT. Seriously, Lily Lashes are at another level in terms of drama. If you’re trying to channel your inner lash diva, these are the ones.
Why Gen Z Swears by Lily Lashes:
- The ‘Miami’ Lash: The “Miami” lash is basically iconic. You’ve def seen people raving about it. It’s just the right mix of fluffy and bold, giving major star power.
- Celebrity-endorsed: Kim K herself has rocked this brand. Need I say more? When the queen of contour (lol) herself has worn these, you already know.
“Lily Lashes ‘Miami’ is basically the Chanel of lashes. Expensive, but SO worth it.”
Okay, so these lashes are a little pricier compared to brands like Ardell or Kiss BUT the quality and the boujee factor? So high. If you’re doing a major event like prom or graduation (or y’know—just living that extra life on a casual Tuesday), you NEED to try Lily Lashes.
4. Glamnetic: For the Magnetic Lash Trendsetters
Who’s loving magnetic lashes? 👋 Me toooo! If you’ve always struggled with applying the glue—and let’s be real, we’ve all glued our eyes shut AT LEAST once—Glamnetic is calling your name. What makes this brand different? Honestly, their magnetic liner just WORKS. You don’t have to go over your line 50 times with the eyeliner, and their lashes stay on super well all day without looking awkward.
Why Glamnetic is Fire for Teens and Gen Z:
- Zero Mess: Don’t need glue = less mess. Perfect for school mornings or, let’s be real, those rushed Zoom classes you’re barely awake for.
- Different Styles, No Stress: Whether you want slight volume or full drama, Glamnetic’s magnetic lashes have you covered in all length ranges.
And like, let’s be honest, finding a lash that lasts a whole day without peeling off on one side during 7th period? Priceless.
5. Eylure: For Lashes with That UK Vibe
Yaaas Eylure! This brand is lowkey but highkey TAKING OVER with their wispy lash styles that elevate your natural lashes without looking too over the top. The UK-born brand has infiltrated U.S. beauty stores and it’s def become a staple across TikTok beauty hauls.
The TEA on Eylure Lashes:
- Light and Breathable: If you ever put on a pair of falsies and felt like your eyelids were lifting weights, you’ll love how natural these feel.
- Pre-glued Strips: NO JOKE, Eylure makes these pre-glued versions, and I didn’t know how much I needed them until I used them in a pinch before running out the door.
Try Eylure Luxe Faux Mink lashes for that fluffy fullness with a soft finish. Your eyes will look SO sultry!
Eylure’s most popular line is def their 3D Faux Mink range—it gives you crazy definition but still keeps things light enough for an everyday look. Perfect for those “I want glam but not tooooo much” kinda days.
6. Tatti Lashes: Insta Baddie Vibes 24/7
Last, but definitely not least: Tatti Lashes. These bad boys are what you need if you wanna look straight out of an Instagram photoshoot. Founded by two MUAs, they’re all about those ultimate glam vibes (duh), but with comfort too, which means you can wear them from brunch to late-night TikTok scrolling.
Why Teens and Gen Z Are Going Crazy over Tatti Lashes:
- The Insta Influence: Tatti Lashes is loved by influencers everywhere. The “TL4” style? So freaking popular.
- Collabs with Major Influencers: Bear in mind they’ve had collabs with influencers like Jamie Genevieve—which gives them serious clout.
Trust me, Tatti brings the FIRE with volume and “structured” lashes. I pull these out for photoshoots or when I’m feeling extra, and everyone’s always asking, “What lashes are those?!”
