Before Lilly Lashes revolutionised the world of falsies with ‘3D Lashes’, those after an ultra-glam look had to stack up multiple strips of lashes - but these ingenious creations give the same dramatic effect with just one undetectable strip. The ‘Rome' lashes add a subtle hint of drama with the wispy winged effect - the perfect inbetween subtle and glam. The unique design of interlacing ‘V’-shaped clusters create a show-stopping lash look while blending seamlessly with your natural lashes, resulting in a full, fluttery finish. Incredibly lightweight, they feature an invisible band that’s super-comfortable to wear and practically impossible to detect; best of all, they’re reusable for up to 20 wears, so you can keep every eye look glam and gorgeous for longer.
Design and aesthetic: why Rome lashes stand out
The Rome lashes are characterised by interlacing ‘V’-shaped clusters that deliver a wispy, winged appearance. This design achieves a higher impact than a simple strip yet remains remarkably natural when worn, making them ideal for both daytime wear and evening looks. The lightweight synthetic fibres provide a natural-looking flutter while remaining vegan-friendly, ensuring comfort without compromising on style.
Structure and comfort
The lashes feature an invisible band, which contributes to a seamless blend with your natural lash line. This makes them practically undetectable once applied and incredibly comfortable for long wear. The lightweight construction helps prevent discomfort during extended use, allowing for reliable daily wear as well as special occasions.
Durability and reuse
One of the standout benefits is reusability: the Rome lashes can be worn up to 20 times with proper care. This durability enhances their value and makes them a practical choice for anyone building a versatile lash collection. To maximise wear, handle gently during removal and cleaning, avoiding tension on the band.
Materials: vegan fibres for a natural flutter
Key ingredients include synthetic fibres designed to mimic the look of natural lashes while remaining lightweight. The vegan composition ensures that wearers choosing cruelty-free cosmetics can enjoy Rome lashes without compromising their values or comfort.
Usage: step-by-step application for a flawless look
- Step 1: Carefully remove the lashes from the tray sweeping under the lash and using a lash applicator to lightly grip lash band. Gently lift the band away from the tray, never pulling on the lashes themselves.
- Step 2: Hold the lash up to your eye to measure for sizing. If the lash is longer than your natural eye shape, use lash scissors to trim the lash accordingly. Conservatively trim from the inner or outer corner.
- Step 3: Once your desired length is established, use your lash applicator to gently hold lash and apply a thin layer of lash adhesive on the lash band (allow it to dry for 30 seconds).
- Step 4: Once the lash adhesive is tacky, use the lash applicator to carefully place the lash evenly to the middle of the eyelid, as close as possible to the lash line. Once comfortably applied to lash line, use lash applicator to ensure lash is firmly attached to both inner and outer part of the eye.
- Step 5: Allow lash to settle on lash line.
Tips for a seamless finish
For the most natural blend, align the inner corner of the Rome lashes with your inner lash line and gently press along the band to secure the edges. If you notice any lifting, a small touch of adhesive along the outer corner can help lock the lash in place without adding bulk. Pair the Rome lashes with a light mascara on your natural lashes to further integrate the weave of the falsies with your own lash line.
Practical considerations: care and maintenance
To preserve longevity, remove the lashes gently after use and cleanse them with a mild, oil-free remover to avoid dissolving the adhesive residue on the band. Dry thoroughly before storing to maintain the shape of the lash band and the integrity of the delicate V-shaped clusters.
In summary, the Rome lashes offer a show-stopping yet versatile option for those seeking a dramatic flutter without heavy stacking. The interlacing V-shaped clusters create a balanced winged effect that blends with natural lashes, making them suitable for a broad range of eye shapes and occasions. Their lightness and reusability further enhance their appeal for anyone looking to elevate everyday glamour with minimal effort.
