You might’ve heard the expression “lashes are a girl’s best friend,” and it’s true! A good pair of lashes can make a huge difference by opening up your eyes and giving you a bright appearance. Unsurprisingly, having big lashes is now all the rage, with an increasing number of people opting for eyelash extensions, or incorporating false lashes into their daily makeup routine to elevate their makeup looks. Recently, a kaleidoscope of colourful graphic lashes has flooded the TikTok space and we think we’re obsessed with it!
The trend was started by TikTok account @itssplashes, which started their own lash business in 2020, selling these fluttering eyelashes, with their most popular design being the colourful butterfly lashes. After posting a video of them wearing various butterfly and heart lash designs, it went viral and took over makeup TikTok. Here’s the video:

It’s safe to say that many people were mesmerized by these lashes, and the comment section was flooded by people asking where they could acquire them and how great they would go with their outfits. It was popularized further by beauty TikTokers trying on and raving about these lashes, which complement colourful makeup looks well! It was also approved by makeup artist @mikaylanogueira, who paired some Halloween-themed eyelashes with her Halloween makeup look, which had her followers GAGGING!

Moreover, HBO’s hit show Euphoria, which is known for their entrancing makeup looks, also had some influence on its virality. The bold makeup looks shown throughout the show would definitely pair well with these dramatic lashes:

So, back to the question: Where can you get these lashes? Unfortunately, if you want to purchase them from Splashes Lashes, they only ship to a few countries. But there is another option! Some TikTok users have attempted to create their own graphic lashes, and they actually look pretty dope! All you need are a pair of long, wispy lashes and some glitter in various shapes. It can be butterflies, stars, or hearts; the possibilities are endless! Then, dab some eyelash glue on the tips of your lashes to keep your butterflies from literally flying away. Place your little cutouts onto the glue to create a beautiful design!
