Much like a swipe of red lippie, a set of eye-enhancing lashes makes for a classic, easy way to glam up for a special occasion when a coat of mascara just doesn’t cut it. Luckily for you, the GHI has been busy testing a range of falsies to find the most flattering styles that are easy-to-apply, comfortable and will last all evening.

Over 150 women tried 12 pairs of lashes at home. The winning set? Ardell’s Natural 174 Lashes, which earned an impressive score of 85/100. Best of all, they’re just a fiver – not bad, considering they’re reusable too.

With a double-layered curl that’s slightly longer at the outer corners, these will give your real lashes a subtle boost of volume and length. So, if you’re nervous about things looking too ‘fake’, these are a good bet – they’ll enhance your eyes without leaving you looking like a Love Island contestant.

Our testers loved this set, they told us that they liked the lashes’ understated appearance that helped to enhance their natural features. A high 87% of panellists thought they were comfy to wear and the falsies also earned praise how easy they were to apply. Most importantly, they stayed put for a full nine hours – the longest time out of all those we tried. Nobody likes checking the mirror and realising their eyelash is peeling off at the corner, after all.

With care, you should be able to reuse these lashes at least 10 times (check how to care for them in our guide here) so they should see you through your next few social occasions easily. At this price, though, we’ll be stocking up on a few pairs. Pick up these falsies on Amazon.
