This is not a drill! We’ve just discovered KISS Falscara, some of the easiest and most natural-looking false lashes out there. Just ask all the beauty lovers on TikTok; the hashtag #Falscara has 147.4m views on the app, and with a trendy TikTok sound, Falscara Level Up, sung by TikToker Miranda Rae, they’re a hot commodity. But what makes them so special?
Think about all the things you love about a good pair of false lashes: the length, the volume, the ease to change it up… Now think about all the things you hate about false lashes: the time-consuming fussy application, the clunkiness, the unnaturalness… we could go on.
Well, KISS has solved all those problems. With the KISS Falscara full range, you can get wispy, featherweight, easy-to-apply cluster lashes that, unlike ‘traditional’ lashes, gently sit under your upper lash line to give you a seamless, undetectable, natural-lash look in seconds! Yes, seconds.

Claiming to be both beginner and expert-friendly (which is music to our amateur ears), unlike some lash extension treatments, these falsies cause no damage to the natural lashes. They can be reused up to three times, can have extended wear up to 10 days with the Overnighter Glue and are suitable for all eye shapes.
All big claims, but how do these lashes fair in the real world? We gave the starter kit a go and here are our most honest thoughts.

I love me some big fluttery lashes. In fact, I consider myself somewhat of a lash connoisseur. However, I’m very selective when it comes to wearing false lashes as I hate messing around with strips that ping off mid-application or throughout the night. I’m never patient enough to wait for the glue to dry and I fear that moth-wings finish.
However, these under-the-eye, cluster-cut razor-thin lashes are something I can get on board with. The application could not have been easier. All I did was brush on the bond gel of the duo-ended wands through my under lashes, focusing on the area I wanted to apply the Falscara clusters, then, using the applicator, I stuck them straight in. No fuss, no do-overs. Falsies are usually never this easy while looking super-natural. I was shook! I then sealed them using the Bond and Seal gel and voilà. All I can say is, if you see me with dramatic lashes on the daily moving forward, mind your business.

Full disclosure: I suck at doing false lashes, but since these are in smaller clumps, I thought they’d be easier to manage. The little sections are more manoeuvrable and give you more flexibility around exactly where you want the volume and drama.
I won’t lie though, applying these *under* the lashes and so close to the lash line took a bit of getting used to, as did working out the best way to hold the tweezers, but with some practice and patience, these give a really pretty, natural-looking flutter. They are also super easy to remove with the Falscara Remover and did not damage my natural lashes.

Just a few days before filming this, I swore off false lashes for life. I'd just tried to apply a traditional pair, messed it up (as I always do), with glue all over my eyes, and had to start my wedding-guest makeup all over again. So needless to say, I was sceptical to try the KISS Falscara but was lured in by the fact you apply the wisps under your lashline, not above. The application required some getting used to and lining the wisps up seamlessly next to each other was tricky (but gently clamping them together with the applicator helped). The applicator also gets a little sticky from the bonding gel, so make sure you wipe off any residue after each wisp application (so the tool doesn't stick to the next set of lashes when removing them from the tray).
For my first attempt, I'm very impressed, and they are much easier than 'traditional' false lashes. With practice, they'll look even better. Turns out my life-long falsies ban didn't last long.

Despite considerably improving my lash application skills over the years, I love a lash hack wherever I can get one, so I was excited to trial the Falscara Starter Kit. The concept is pretty clever, and I found it really easy to follow, though a bit fiddly at first, as I’ve never applied lashes underneath my natural ones before. Once I was used to the process, I loved the end result. The lashes looked super-natural thanks to being hidden under my natural lashes, and I loved the cat-eye look you can achieve by using lash clusters on the outer corner. You can also seal them for longer wear of about 10 days!

I love a full set of lashes, but getting extensions done every three weeks? Not for me! So I was excited to try out the Falscara lash set, which promises an instant lash extension effect in minutes. I have to say I love the final look – weightless, wispy lashes that look and feel so natural. These stayed on all day without irritating my eyes. The technique does take some getting used to – the bonding glue is super sticky and applying under the lash line rather than over was a little fiddly at first – but it’s easy to correct mistakes and the end effect is totally worth it!
