I recently tested four different leading brands includingPro Lash,Lashify,Glamnetic, andFlutterHabit to find out.

Still, the finished look was absolutely stunning.

FlutterHabit lash extensions review

For a beginner like me, it meant less room for issues.

After waiting 20 to 30 seconds for the bond to get tacky, the clusters instantly adhered.

Lashify Bold

Lashify is considered the original DIY lash extension system.

Slay Lash Extensions

If theres one thing the brand undeniably surpasses competitors on, its the sheer variety.

It took me about 20 to 25 minutes when all was said and done.

The end result was gorgeous, though, and I got a tonof compliments at my family holiday party.

That said, Lashify does offer plenty of other cat-eye styles with clusters of varying lengths.

Lashifys adhesive doesnt contain harsh chemicals that may irritate your eyes or damage your lashes.

As someone with sensitive skin, this was a huge selling point for me.

If I had to name which extensions were easiest to apply, Pro Lash would take the cake.

Since Im still on the system learning curve, I kept my expectations low.

This system seems ideal for people who are used to extensions and are ready to step things up.
