Mink lashes are the latest cosmetic craze to hit the world of beauty. Unlike other types of eyelashes, mink lashes are made from real fur, which means they can be reused. The process for making mink lashes involves many steps and requires a lot of work. Here's how mink eyelashes are produced:
What are mink lashes?
Mink lashes, also called mink eyelashes, are false eyelashes that are made from the fur of the North American and Siberian minks. These animals are farmed for their fur in China, Europe and North America.
While many people use mink lashes because they believe that they look natural and glamorous, others choose them as an ethical alternative to human hair lashes.
Mink lashes are shaped from mink fur. Most of them are made from the pelts of minks that were raised on farms for their fur, although there are some brands that offer synthetic mink lashes.
Are mink lashes cruelty free?
Mink lashes are cruelty free.
The mink fur used in the making of mink lashes is obtained from animals that were bred for their fur. These minks are raised on farms and treated well by farmers who care about their animals' well-being, so there is no cruelty involved in the process of making these false eyelashes.
Minks are not cruel. In fact, they're actually quite gentle and docile creatures that can be domesticated easily. They do not make good pets because their fur makes them valuable as a source of income for farmers.
How are mink lashes made?
The first step in the process is to harvest mink fur. Mink lashes are made from the back of the animal, and it’s shaved down to a uniform thickness before it can be dyed. After dyeing, the fur is cut into strips that measure 1/2 inch wide and 6 to 12 inches long. This is done on a special machine called a “trimmer” which cuts each piece of fur into its final shape by heating up the blade so that it slices through each strand cleanly without damaging or fraying them.
Once these pieces have been cut, they need to be glued onto silk strips using hot glue guns or other adhesives such as superglue (which may not always work). The silk is then glued onto another plastic strip with superglue before being inserted into your pair of mink lashes!
How about cashmere, sable, and velvet lashes?
In recent years, you may have noticed a new type of lash in the market: cashmere. These are made from the underbelly of cashmere goats, which are an offshoot of angora rabbits. They're fluffy and soft like mink lashes, but much more durable and hypoallergenic.
How about sable? These lashes use real fur from weasels (yes, those animals that hunt rodents) to create luxurious lashes with only one layer of fiber on each end—the way human hair would naturally grow out if it hadn't been clipped off!
Finally, you might see velvet lashes on your Instagram feed—they look similar to sable but with longer tips that can be used for fuller lash styles. They're made using Asian water buffalo calf fur (which is softer than cow or sheep) that's specially treated so it doesn't shed or get tangled during brushing before being curled into shape by hand over a metal template to create this unique style.
Mink lashes VS faux mink lashes
Mink lashes are made from real mink fur, but that doesn't mean they're not cruelty free. While the process used to create them is a little more involved than that of faux lashes, it's still just as safe for both animals and humans. In fact, many people prefer mink lashes over synthetic ones because they feel more natural looking and durable than their faux counterparts.
