Extra-Large Lashes Are The Bold Eye Look Trending For 2023

False lashes might feel like a very modern advancement, but they actually date back to 1911 when glue-on strip lashes were patented by inventor Anna Taylor. These days, many lash lovers are choosing semi-permanent lash extensions, while others stick to tried-and-true daily gluing. Either way, extra large lashes have ruled 2023. They continue to rise in popularity as we approach 2024, as evidenced by the looks showcased at fashion month in Paris and Milan. 

If the thought of wearing oversized lashes makes you cringe, it's possible that you just haven't found the right lashes for you yet. Big lashes come in different shapes and sizes. If you're not a fan of extra thick, voluminous falsies, look for a pair that focuses more on sky-high length. If falsies aren't your thing at all, it might be time to consider extensions or just decide to reveal your own largest lashes by finally finding your holy grail mascara. We've assembled a curated list of large-lashed looks for your inspiration. 

If you like the look of thicker lashes but find that long and wispy styles are easier to wear, try combining a thin pair of lashes with thicker eyeliner. The thick liner can create the illusion of more voluminous lashes by mimicking the look of thicker hair at the lash line. 

Love the shape of a cat-eye but not a fan of heavy eyeliner? You can use dramatic lashes to create the same effect. Individual lash clusters can be applied only to the outer corner of the eye to create an elongated cat-eye effect. For easier application, you can cut away the section of a pair of strip lashes nearest the inner corner and apply the remaining strip to the outer corner.
