Recently, I decided to save time and switch to DIY cluster lashes, which, as it turned out, are much faster and more convenient to apply. In order to find the perfect kit for at-home eyelash extensions, I decided to test products from top brands. Here are my impressions after checking out five popular kits.

DIY lash extensions – what makes them better than other eyelash-styling methods?

DIY cluster lashes give great results with minimal application time. They are applied underneath natural lashes, which is much easier than traditional methods. With a little practice, anyone can manage to apply them. There are many professional lash extension kits on the market, and most makeup brands sell cluster lashes of this type. I tested the most popular ones that received the best reviews to see which ones are really worth buying. However, I have to admit that not all the reviews were in line with my experiences.

Cluster lash kits for at-home extensions vary not only in their contents, but also in the quality of the lashes themselves, the number of lash clusters in the kit, durability, and application time. Of course, choosing the best kit depends on personal preferences, but it is worth knowing which brands to look out for and what other users think of them.

I was looking for a kit that is easy to use and the final result is both long-lasting and natural.

Ranking of the most popular eyelash extension kits – what is the application and durability like?

My test included only kits from established beauty brands. All the kits I tested can be easily ordered from online beauty store and individual brand websites. How did they perform in my tests? Feel free to read on and learn about my impressions!

1. Nanolash DIY Eyelash Extensions Starter Kit 

Firstly, I decided to test probably the most popular eyelash extension starter kit – Nanolash DIY Eyelash Extensions Starter Kit. 

The manufacturer promises that it takes just 10 minutes to put on these cluster lashes, and indeed, it does! The cluster lashes turned out to be incredibly soft and natural to the touch, which made the application process much easier. The application was quick and hassle-free, mainly thanks to the included applicator, which proved to be very precise. 

The Nanolash DIY Eyelash Extensions Starter Kit provides cluster lashes in eight different styles, giving you the option to choose the effect you want to achieve, from subtle to more dramatic. After the application, the cluster lashes stayed on my eyes for a full week, which I think is a great result. From other reviews, I know that the lashes last even longer for some women.

I am very happy with this kit and can confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and effective solution for at-home eyelash extensions. Nanolash DIY Eyelash Extensions Starter Kit is a product that meets all my expectations. The fast application, quality of the cluster lashes, and their durability make it a must-have in my makeup bag. I plan to continue using it and am eager to try the other lash styles available in the Nanolash range.

2. Glamnetic Lash Extension Kit

Glamnetic Lash Extension Kit was the second kit I tested. The brand provides a wide selection of lash sizes and styles. The kit also included a bonder, a sealer, a remover and an applicator, so I was pleased with how complete it was. These items are essential for a nice, long-lasting, and easy-to-remove lash look.

On the manufacturer’s website, I found some information that the cluster lashes should last up to 5 days. Unfortunately, I took them off earlier because they didn’t look as natural as ones from other brands. They didn’t look as good after they were applied, which affected my overall impressions.

In conclusion, the Glamnetic Lash Extension Kit stands out for being complete, providing all the necessary products and accessories for lash application. Although the kit is convenient to use, the cluster lashes do not look as natural as competitors’ products. If you’re going for a natural lash look, you may be a bit disappointed. 

3. Lashify Starter Kit

When I first heard about Lashify, I was curious if it was really worth the price. It’s one of the more expensive kits on the market, but I decided to try it out to see what sets it apart from the other available options.

The Lashify Starter Kit is a complete professional lash-styling kit that includes everything you need to achieve a salon-like look. I was impressed with the quality of the product the very first time I used it. Not only are the cluster lashes extremely soft, but they also look deceptively like natural lashes, which really surprised me.

The kit contains 10 cluster lashes, a bonder, a sealer, an applicator, and a remover. Each lash cluster is made of the highest quality materials, which makes them soft and natural looking. I must admit that applying the cluster lashes from the Lashify kit was really easy and fast, and the final result exceeded my expectations. However, I must also point out a few shortcomings. The kit contains just 10 cluster lashes, which means that I used up all of them during a single application. That’s why, although the quality of the product is excellent, I think the price is way too high. 

4. Tatti Lashes Invisi-Lash Kit

When I first heard about Tatti Lashes, I was intrigued, because it’s a well-established brand in the makeup world. So, I decided to test out their Invisi-Lash Kit. This kit provides cluster lashes on a strip in two colors: black and clear, and in seven available styles.

The kit also includes Invisi-Lash Bond and Seal Glue. Both products have pleasant consistencies for easy application. The kit also includes an applicator and a small brush, which make it much easier to apply the false lashes with precision. Unfortunately, the lack of a remover in the kit was a bit of a setback for me.

Applying the lashes with Tatti Lashes was very quick and easy. I reached for this kit several times because the cluster lashes lasted well and looked natural. Despite the lack of remover which forced me to use products from other kits, I think the Tatti Lashes Invisi-Lash Kit is a noteworthy kit for any lash extension enthusiast.

5. Kiss Falscara Starter Kit 

As my last kit, I had the opportunity to test the Kiss Falscara Starter Kit, which is one of the smaller eyelash extension kits available on the market. The kit contains 10 cluster lashes and two formulas – BOND and SEAL. BOND is applied to the natural eyelashes before applying the lash clusters to ensure durability and good adhesion. SEAL, on the other hand, is applied at the end to fix the cluster lashes and make them stay in place for longer.

I must admit that the application was very easy, and I was happy with the final result. The lashes looked natural, which is key for me when doing at-home eyelash extensions.

However, the lack of a remover in the kit somewhat complicated the process of removing the cluster lashes. I was forced to use products from other kits, which makes the Falscara Starter Kit a bit less convenient.

Which eyelash kit provided me with easy application and durability?

After testing many lash extension kits, I have to say that the Nanolash DIY Eyelash Extensions Starter Kit impressed me the most. The kit not only provided me with easy application, but also a long-lasting effect, which is essential for me. I definitely know which kit I will buy again, although I haven’t decided which specific lash style I will choose next time yet. One thing is certain – I will stay with this brand.

Nanolash DIY Eyelash Extensions Starter Kit is a product that I can recommend to anyone looking for a reliable at-home lash extension kit. The cluster lashes are easy to apply and last a really long time, giving a natural and beautiful effect. This is undoubtedly the best kit I have tested when it comes to value for money.

The other products I tested also had their benefits, but none of them equalled Nanolash in terms of easy use and durability. This kit met my expectations on every level, making it my favorite choice for styling my lashes on a daily basis. I hope that if you choose Nanolash, you will be as pleased with it as I was.
