    What's the deal with fibre lash mascara?

    You've heard about it, but what exactly is it?

    By now you may have heard about fibre lash mascaras. And if you haven’t already tried one, you’d be forgiven for not knowing exactly how they differ from regular mascaras.

    With regular mascara, you’re coating your lashes with a liquid formula usually made up of pigment, oils, guanine, and waxes. The formula of a fibre lash mascara actually contains tiny little fibres (they kind of look like small hairs) that you brush on to your lashes to give them a more exaggerated appearance – almost as if you’re wearing false lashes. The key to applying most fibre lash mascaras is focusing on applying the product on the ends of your lashes to give them extra length and volume.

    Basically, it’s like mascara and false lashes got together and had a lengthening, volumising, and thickening baby.

    Sound right up your alley? Then one of these may be just what you need…

    ModelCo FIBRE LASH – Achieving a false-lash effect requires a two-product process when using ModelCo. First you apply the extension mascara, then the lash fibres, then the extension mascara again. The first layer helps the lash fibres adhere to your lash follicles and the last coat secures the fibres in place. Results so good even Dannii Minogue swears by it!

    freezeframe® Instant Lash Extreme – The water-resistant formula of this mascara must be applied on to clean, dry lashes to lengthen and thicken them. First, focus on the lash tips to extend your lashes, then sweep upwards from the root of your lashes to lock in the extensions and thickening fibres. And now you’re done: thicker, longer lashes for up to 24 hours!

    Silk Oil of Morocco Fibre Lash Mascara – Organic green tea natural fibres help thicken and lengthen your natural lashes by 150 per cent. The kit comes with two wands – a gel wand and a fibre wand. After applying the gel, coat your eyelashes from root to tip with the fibres (you can build the volume by applying multiple coats), and then set it by applying another coat of the gel. And it’s safe to use for contact lens wearers, too!

    Mirénesse Lash Transplant Lengthening – This little kit comes with three products: a transparent gel, silky-white lash fibres, and a comb. Just as with some of the other lash fibre kits mentioned above, you start by coating your lashes with the gel. Then you follow with the white lash fibres, and finish with a coat of the gel. The comb should be used at the end to perfect your new lashes. Oh, don’t worry about your eyelashes looking a bit white – the gel will coat them in a natural-looking colour.

    Studio Lash Fibre Lash Mascara, $64.95, www.fibrelashmascara.com.au – The Studio Lash kit helps you achieve longer, thicker lashes in just 60 seconds! If you want a more dramatic effect, follow this routine: lengthening mascara, extending fibres, lengthening mascara, extending fibres, lengthening mascara. Always start and end with the lengthening mascara and never double coat the extending fibres without a lengthening mascara in between. Too easy!

    My eyelashes are quite short, so this product seems quite interesting...hmm might try it one day.

    I've never tried fibre lash mascaras before but I'm very excited to now! especially because I have short, straight Asian lashes

    I've tried them before! I find that sometimes they do and sometimes they don't it's just luck. It helps when I layer them ontop of other mascara.

    Sounds great but sometimes they just flake off :( I prefer volumising formulas to be honest.

    manveen 30 Jan 2013 5:30 AM

    they look nice but i feel like a camel. haha OTT

    Catrina951 29 Jan 2013 7:46 AM

    Haven't tried it, I think it could be a good substitute for when you don't want to wear fake lashes. (which I have no clue how to use, probably get glue in my eyes) lol ;)

    These can be hit or miss. There is a great double-ended L'Oreal one that I highly recommend, but I've tried another brand that just had massive fall-out over the course of the day.

    I have both the ModelCo and Mirenesse. I have short lashes and not too many, but either of these products work really well and produce long lashes that are not over the top. I've never had fallout from either brand. If I had to choose one over the other, I would choose Mirenesse. Both mascaras are easy to use, but the Mirenesse comes off with warm water and a little roll of the fingers. And it won't come off until you want it to comer off.

    I don't know if I'm a huge fan of these types of mascaras actually!

    ray_jay 22 Jan 2013 9:33 AM

    I liked the model co one but I think there is better out thete for sure

    Beautybabe140194 2 Jan 2013 6:27 AM

    I've only tried model co's and it definitely makes my lashes appear longer

    Blueflame 30 Dec 2012 8:48 AM

    I HAVE TRIED FREEZEFRAME,RATHER GOOD, I WOULD LIKE TO TRY ANOTHER THAT WORKS TOO, TO SEE WHAT IS BEST FOR ME.....

    Kreety 30 Dec 2012 2:52 AM

    i have one from mirenesse.. its just ew. I like long lashes but mirenesse just gives a suffocating feeling to my eyes... its weird

    Wittyusername 27 Dec 2012 2:29 PM

    I claw at my eyes if I get anything in them. "Fibers" sound suspiciously like something that would far too easily fall in my eyes. I'm afraid. Maybe to afraid to even try them.

    CarolannT 26 Dec 2012 9:21 PM

    Might give it a try but how easy is the product to remove? I've tried lash extentions in the past but due to allergies I had to stop. My eyes became so sensitive I could feel the ends of the lashes meeting the eyelids, it drove me nuts! Now I stick to false EL but these products do sound interesting.

    Estewart 26 Dec 2012 4:23 AM

    I've got one of the modelco waiting to be opened and used. I'd say curling is a must and removing mascara properlly to avoid breakages..

    Ssajwani 25 Dec 2012 3:50 PM

    i am thinking of buying one soon

    Piccolanippy 24 Dec 2012 5:17 PM

    I want to try it

    Shop A Everyday 24 Dec 2012 2:15 PM

    looks so nice

    Flower Child 24 Dec 2012 1:33 PM

    Sounds like I should give these a go, have had the Mirenesse one in the drawer for a while but thought I should use up the others first.

    kelleyley 24 Dec 2012 12:19 PM

    i've tried the model co fibre lash mascara and they do really make my lashes stand out and look like i have false lashes on. they look great if going to a party but when i want something a bit more subtle/daytime look i just use the lengthening mascara on its own
