Hoping for a cheap eyelash extensions alternative, I tested two popular products.
Here are my honest Kiss Falscara and Lashify reviews.
Nothing tempts me like a hole-in-the-wall salon advertising lash extensions.

Could this fraction-of-the-price Lashify dupe deliver the same results as the real thing?
Lashify Review
I started with Lashify so I could form my thoughts on the OG first.
(It’s only polite, right?)
Lashify
The system
Applying Lashify is a five-step process.
Did you catch all that?
I didn’t get the hang of it until around my third time using them.
Kiss
With practice, though, I cut the whole process down to 10 minutes.
With strips, I’ve never been able to master getting them right up against my lashes.
The biggest difference, though, is how light they feel once they’re on.
My bare lashes.
Lashify is intended to last up to seven days, which was a huge draw in the first place.
Ideally, you’d cycle between periods of wearing them and giving your lashes a break, she adds.
And, for hygiene reasons, wearing DIY lashes overnight is not a practice recommended by Tsai.
Lashify “Amplify” lashes.
(Don’t ask.)
I went with the “lengthening” style which is on the long and wispy side.
Were they any longer, they’d look startling without eyeshadow on.
Kiss Falscara in “Lengthening”.
(Note: BothLashify’s $21 removerandKiss' $7 removerare sold separately.)
Lashify also offers flexible weekly, biweekly, monthly, and bimonthly memberships with discounts.
A Falscara bond and seal costs $10 and replacement eyelashes are $7.
All things considered, I fully intend to use LashifyandKiss Falscara for special occasions.
(I haven’t found another pair of curved tweezers that’s as rounded.
If you do, holler.)
(Or maybetry a lash lift?)
