Poly Blend

The most prevalent eye lash extensions material is a Chinese polyester blend that does not adequately hold a curl. In warm weather, these eye-lash extensions tend to relax and are heavier in weight.

Poly/Nylon Blend

Sometimes called “faux mink,” this poly/nylon blend is shinier and lighter in weight than lashes made solely from polyester. Elluminize offers a premier blend of poly/nylon that truly holds a curl. Moreover, while most lashes in the industry have blunt, unnatural looking ends, Elluminize offers unique, tapered lash tips designed to mimic your natural eyelashes and create a soft, elegant look.

Mink

Mink eye-lash extensions are the most expensive in the industry and are worn by many celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Kim Kardashian and Oprah to name a few. A hollow fur, mink lashes are extremely soft, lightweight, and natural looking. Real authentic mink in past few years is hard to find. 

If you intend for your lashes to last a full month or longer, you need a top-quality product. Sure, you can easily find an inexpensive poly blend on Ebay and Amazon or other websites (probably in bulk), but I must warn you: poor quality material could lead to premature fallouts or worse— permanent damage to your natural. That’s why it’s important to know exactly what material you’re gluing to your natural lashes.
