What is Silk, Mink or Faux Mink?
What is often thought and mentioned, is that Silk eyelash extensions are shiny, Mink eyelash extensions are matte, and Faux Mink eyelash extensions are the most imitated of the Real Mink lashes.
It depends on the manufacturer how different types of eyelashes are produced and what name the manufacturer has given to these different eyelashes. This means that Silk lashes can also be matte and Mink lashes can be glossy.
At manufacturer A the Silk eyelash extensions can be shiny and for 1/3 part sharpened in the tip. While at manufacturer B the Silk eyelash extensions are matte and for 2/3 sharpened in the tip.
Brand owners will generally use the name of the manufacturer. The brand you work with will therefore have a clear difference in the various types of eyelash extensions that they offer.
It is therefore important for you as an eyelash stylist to read the product description carefully when you are going to buy eyelash extensions, so that you are not faced with surprises.
* The Real Mink lashes are made of real mink hairs. We do not use them, because our products are not tested on animals and are EU-registered.
