Ardell Studio Effects Strip False Eyelashes - 230

A medium-volume strip lash built around Ardell's criss-cross, feathered fibre layout — the kind of structure that mimics the natural layering of real lashes rather than the flat, uniform bands you see on cheaper sets. Style 230 sits firmly in the middle of the Studio Effects range: volumised enough to make a difference across the room, soft enough that it doesn't announce itself at arm's length.

The band is thin and flexible, which is the detail that separates a lash you'll actually wear from one that lives in a drawer. It bends to the curve of your lash line rather than lifting at the corners, and a quick trim at the outer edge tailors the length to narrower eye shapes. Reusable for up to around ten wears if you clean them gently between uses.

Best for evenings out, photographs and occasions where you want more than mascara alone can deliver. Pair with a winged liner and a nude waterline pencil — keep the rest of the face relatively stripped-back so the lashes stay the focal point.
