The Douyin makeup trend has propelled individual lashes to popularity, and to get the look you’ll need the CORINGCO Toktok-Hara Filter Eyelash. These individual lashes let you get a custom lash look that matches your natural eye shape or makeup style to a T. Simply dab on a bit of lash glue, stick them on your lash line, and just like that, your lashes are giving va-va-voom. These falsies come in a range of lengths, but we find that the 10mm lashes are a good place to start if you’re new to individual lashes.
