Q1:WHAT ARE MINK EYELASHES MADE OF?

The term 'mink eyelashes’ refers to mink eyelashes made with PBT, a synthetic material.

PBT is a plastic substance with excellent shape memory and excellent chemical and heat resistance. It won’t deform after processing for a long time. PBT is applied not only for mink eyelashes but also in some common household items like toothbrushes!

Black Show Hair mink eyelashes are all made from Korean PBT of top quality. We can make sure that our mink lashes are lush, soft, and flexible With the excellent Korean-made PBT fiber.

Q2:ARE MINK EYELASHES CRUELTY-FREE?

“Are mink eyelashes cruelty-free?”

It’s not surprising that whether mink lashes are cruelty-free is a common question about lashes we’ve received. The word 'mink' is so confusing that mink eyelash clients and many artists will tend to think that mink eyelashes are made from the fur of minks.

We will close this argument with this article once and for all! Mink eyelashes are only called that for their texture which is as soft as the mink hair. Therefore, mink eyelashes are cruelty-free and vegan, having no correlation to the animal mink.

To prevent confusion, some brands even call it faux mink lashes.

Q3:DO REAL MINK LASHES EXIST?

Certainly, there do exist mink eyelashes made by real mink fur, such as Black Show Hair (Real Mink) Lashes. Offering a soft, light, fluffy, and, more natural look, real mink eyelashes closely matches natural human eyelashes.

Real mink lashes aren’t for all, but are best for customers want an incredibly natural look. Typically, real mink eyelashes can last longer for they are so light. Expensiveness is its downside.

Q4:MINK EYELASHES VS. SILK EYELASHES

Mink eyelashes and silk eyelashes are basically made from the same material, synthetic PBT. Their main difference doesn’t in their material, but in finish, shape, and weight.

Silk eyelashes have a longer taper, meaning that their main body appears thinner than those of mink lashes. Comparing mink and silk lashes with the same thickness, you’ll find silk lashes look more natural for being lighter and softer.

For making it more natural, some eyelash suppliers also add fully or semi-matte finishing on silk eyelashes. But it isn’t the main characteristic to define silk eyelashes, but more of an add-on feature.

Q5: HOW ABOUT SABLE, CASHMERE, AND VELVET EYELASHES?

First of all, no matter what they’re called,  mink, silk, sable, cashmere, and velvet lashes are all made from synthetic PBT, instead of natural materials. The only exception is the product clearly specified as applying animal hair, such as real mink eyelashes.

Once again, to differentiate between how lush and soft their textures are, the names are utilized by different brands. They have nothing to do with the natural material itself.

As to the same PBT mink lashes, some brands call it royal sable while others call it mink. It’s the same for flat eyelash extensions. It’s called ellipse lash by some brands, while cashmere lash by others.

For many eyelash brands call a same product with different names, it’s highly advisable that you carefully read the product description before buying a new kind of mink eyelashes.

It may be what you already have purchased but only with a different name!

Q6:3D MINK EYELASHES VS. FLAT EYELASHES？

Both flat lashes and mink lashes are made from synthetic PBT. The difference between the two lash extensions is their weight and shape.

The shapes of mink eyelashes are round, whereas those of flat lashes are flatter, inverted oval. The flat shape enables the mink eyelashes to fit in with natural eyelashes, allowing for longer retention than mink eyelashes. But, flat eyelashes are not suitable for volume lash extension for their square-ish shape. Flat eyelashes are only applied for hybrid style extensions or classic eyelashes.
