Full Strip Lashes are temporary false eyelashes that come as a complete band designed to cover your entire lash line from corner to corner. Unlike individual lash extensions that are applied one by one, strip lashes are a single piece applied along your natural lash line using temporary adhesive. They're perfect for special occasions, nights out, or whenever you want instant dramatic lashes without the commitment of extensions. At Mesmerising Beauty in Gosforth, we professionally apply high-quality strip lashes that blend seamlessly with your natural lashes, creating a fuller, more glamorous look in just 15 minutes.

Full Strip Lashes are designed for single-day wear and typically last 12-18 hours when professionally applied. You can wear them throughout your event—whether it's a wedding, party, or special dinner—and they'll stay secure with proper adhesive. We recommend removing them before sleeping to avoid damage to your natural lashes and to preserve the strip lashes for potential reuse. With careful handling, quality strip lashes can be cleaned and reused 3-5 times if you remove them gently and store them properly in their original case. However, each application requires fresh adhesive for secure attachment.

Full Strip Lashes at Mesmerising Beauty in Gosforth cost just £10 for professional application, which includes the lash strips, adhesive, and expert fitting to ensure they look natural and feel comfortable. This 15-minute service is one of our most affordable lash enhancement options, making it perfect for those on a budget who want gorgeous lashes for a special occasion. Compared to lash extensions (£25-30) or lash lifts (£35), strip lashes offer the most economical solution for temporary lash enhancement. If you're attending multiple events, we can also provide guidance on removing and reapplying your strip lashes at home.

Your Full Strip Lashes application at our Gosforth salon is a quick 15-minute process. First, we'll consult with you to choose the perfect lash style for your eye shape and desired look—whether you want natural enhancement or dramatic volume. Next, we'll measure and trim the lash strips to perfectly fit your eye width for a seamless appearance. Your natural lashes will be gently cleansed to remove any oils or makeup, ensuring optimal adhesive bond. We then carefully apply professional-grade lash adhesive to the strip and position it as close to your natural lash line as possible, pressing gently for secure attachment. Finally, we'll blend your natural lashes with the strip lashes using mascara if needed, and check for any adjustments to ensure comfort and a flawless finish.

Yes, most people with sensitive eyes or contact lenses can wear Full Strip Lashes, though it's important to use hypoallergenic adhesive formulated for sensitive skin. At Mesmerising Beauty in Gosforth, we use professional-grade, latex-free adhesives that are gentle on the eye area. If you have very sensitive eyes or a history of reactions to false lashes, we recommend doing a patch test 24 hours before your event. Contact lens wearers can safely wear strip lashes—we suggest inserting your lenses before the lash application appointment and removing them after you remove the lashes at night. If you experience any irritation, redness, or discomfort during wear, remove the lashes immediately and consult with our technician.

Safe removal of Full Strip Lashes is crucial to protect your natural lashes and preserve the strips for potential reuse. Never pull or tug at strip lashes, as this can damage your natural lashes. Instead, soak a cotton pad with oil-based makeup remover or dedicated lash adhesive remover and hold it against your closed eye for 30-60 seconds to dissolve the adhesive. Gently peel the strip lashes from the outer corner toward the inner corner in one smooth motion. Once removed, cleanse your natural lashes with a gentle oil-free cleanser. If you want to reuse the strip lashes, carefully remove any adhesive residue from the band using tweezers, then store them in their original case. At our Gosforth salon, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and can recommend the best removal products.

Full Strip Lashes and eyelash extensions serve different purposes—neither is inherently better, but strip lashes are ideal for specific situations. Choose strip lashes if you need a temporary solution for a one-time event, want the most affordable option (£10 vs. £25-30 for extensions), prefer the flexibility to remove your lashes whenever you want, or are testing whether you like enhanced lashes before committing to extensions. Strip lashes are perfect for weddings, parties, photoshoots, or special occasions where you want dramatic lashes for just one day. However, choose extensions if you want a permanent solution that lasts 2-3 weeks, prefer a more natural look, or don't want the daily application and removal process. At Mesmerising Beauty in Gosforth, we can help you decide which option best suits your lifestyle and beauty goals.
