Not sure if you can really tell the difference, but I for one can definitely feel the difference. Granted, any pair of false eyelashes will give me a deeper crease than I actually have because my eyelids are already fairly thin. But because the Mystic Lash band is so much thicker and stiffer than 100% human hair lashes, they give me a much more prominent crease, and I feel like my eyelids are being pushed back a lot more. Sometimes it’s a good thing, other times I feel like those Mystic lash bands are giving my eyelids a severe workout.
Basically: if you’re looking for comfort, quality, softness, and pliability, 100% human hair lashes are the only way to go. If you prefer the stiffness of synthetic materials, make sure you at least get well-crafted synthetic lashes (like our Mystic Lashes ;-)), or lashes that aren’t too dense or try to imitate the human hair styles, because it’s pretty obvious when they’re synthetic (the fake-looking synthetic lash sheen will totally give it away). Unlike our human hair strip lashes, Mystic Lashes are intentionally geometric or criss-crossed, which pretty much screams out “unconventional” from the start, so no point in trying to fool anyone there! Everyone has their preferences on human hair vs. synthetic, but no matter what, make sure you don’t embarrass yourself with low-quality “bargain” lashes that can’t measure up to the real thing.
