After dropping $300 on my last lash appointment (hello, NYC prices) for a look I honestly didn’t $300 love – and was stuck with for weeks while they slowly started looking more tragic by the day – I needed a better solution.
And like a true New Yorker – I was skeptical. Every “DIY lash extension” product I’ve tried either looked obviously fake or fell off faster than my New Year’s resolutions. Then I tried the underlash method.
It's All in the Underlash, Baby
First off, these aren’t your regular strip lashes. The wisps go *under* your natural lashes instead of on top, which is exactly why they look so natural. Really and truly: The Underlash Method = Game Changed.
Plus, you get this gorgeous kit with 54 different pieces to play with. It’s basically a beauty lover’s dream – you can create whatever look you want.
They come in three styles (light, fluffy, and spiky), three lengths, and three band widths. Personal recommendation? The dark chocolate ones are *chef’s kiss* for a natural but enhanced look. And yes, I’ve tried them all because journalism.

Your Lash Game Just Got Easier
The best part about Falscara Studio is how they’ve made the whole process super approachable. The kit comes with everything you need, and they’ve even packed it with good-for-your-lashes ingredients (hello, vitamin C and green tea extract):
- InfuseBond (for that secure hold)
- BondBoost (keeps them looking fresh for up to 14 days)
- Water Resistant Seal (because life happens)
- Hydro Cleanser (for when you’re ready for a change)
And if your first try isn’t perfect? Just remove and restart – no wasted appointment time, no awkward Uber ride home, no dented bank account and deep, deep regret.
Mix, Match, Create
Think of this as your lash wardrobe. Each style creates a completely different vibe – stack the fluffy ones for major drama, go light and natural for daytime, or mix in some spiky pieces for that perfect cat-eye effect. The best part? You’re not committing to just one look until your next expensive appointment.
The Freedom to Actually Love Your Lashes
SO – we’ve all been there. You show your lash tech a photo, explain exactly what you want, and somehow still end up with lashes that are just… not it. Maybe they’re too dramatic for your whole “subtle glam” vibe. Maybe one eye is giving butterfly while the other is giving caterpillar. And the worst part? You’re stuck with them (and out hundreds of dollars) until they fall out.
That’s where the whole “be your own lash artist” thing actually makes sense. Want a natural look for your 9-5 but need to amp it up for weekend plans? Just switch them out. Not feeling the dramatic look you created? Take them off and try again. No more waiting weeks for a lash fill while half your lashes are hanging on for dear life.
Time For Some Girl Math
Let’s break this down: One lash extension appointment = $300. Touch-ups every 2-3 weeks = another $100-150 each time. That’s like… 60 oat milk lattes or 15 Trader Joe’s hauls that you’re throwing at your lashes every few months.
This kit? A fraction of that cost, and the savings basically mean you’re making money. Plus, you’re getting back those 2+ hours per appointment (time is money, bestie), and no more scrambling for last-minute fills before events. Just you, your lash kit, and all that extra coffee/snack/self-care budget intact.

The Plot Twist: You're Actually Good at This
Just remember: start with less (you can always add more), make sure your lashes are super clean before application, and don’t be afraid to mix and match styles. And if anyone asks where you got your lashes done, you have full permission to be smug and say “I did them myself.”
