What are Russian lashes?
Russian lashes are synthetic lashes that are usually applied to individual lash hairs to create a fan-like appearance. While they usually take more time and effort to apply Russian eyelash extensions, the stunning effect makes it all worth the effort.
With our Russian strip lashes, you can create the same look as applying individual lashes in half the time.
Why buy Russian strip lashes?
So you're wondering why you should part with your hard earned cash for a pair (or 10!) of Russian strip lashes, right? Here are seven great reasons why Russian false lashes are so popular:
- Russian style lashes are easy to apply and they look the business once on. You'll go from 0-100 mph with your lash look in just a matter of minutes.
- Russian strip lashes are so much quicker and easier to apply than a full set of salon lash extensions. There's no need to book a trip to the salon, find somewhere to park, wait forever while your lash tech finishes with the client before you, then wait an hour or so for your lashes to be done. With Russian strip lashes, you simply pop them on and off as you need.
- Russian strip lashes are wayyyyy cheaper than having lashes applied in the salon. We're all feeling the cost of living squeeze, why pay over the odds to look great when you can DIY for a fraction of the cost of visiting your local lash tech or salon?
- We like a bit of flexibility, and sometimes we're just not feeling a full set of Russian lash extensions. Russian strip lashes allow us to pop them on and off as and when we feel like it.
- Russian eyelashes can be used again and again if you look after them carefully. Put them on carefully, take them off carefully, and store them in a solid lash case, and you'll find your Russian strip lashes will last a good few wears. This makes them even more cost effective when compared to salon-applied Russian lashes.
- Russian strip eyelashes need much less maintenance than salon-applied Russian lash extensions. That means no costly infills.
- It's not just application that's cheaper - removal is too! Removing your Russian strip lashes is as easy as removing any other pair of strip lashes. Which means no costly trips to the salon for your lash tech to remove them. And there's the added bonus you won't be tempted to sit there and pick them all off one by one, either.

FAQs
Do Russian strip lashes only come in one size?
Yes, the size of the lash band on Russian strip lashes comes in one standard size so that you can cut them down to the exact size you need to fit the width of your eyes.
The strip lashes are easy to cut, all you need to do is hold the lashes strip along your lash line, with the inner corner lined up at the start of your natural lashes and use a pair of tweezers to mark a slight indent in the place that you need to cut them to.
Then you simply cut the excess section of the lashes away and you have the perfect size to suit the exact length of your lash line.
The length of Russian strip lashes is varied depending on the brand and style, ranging from 10-18mm long.
What lash glue do I use for my Russian lashes?
