The Best Bridal Lashes: Tested & Reviewed by a Beauty Editor

As a former competitive dancer and current beauty editor, one of the few things I can confidently say I have decades of experience in is applying false eyelashes. But it wasn't until 2024, the year that I got married and conveniently happened to join the editorial team at The Knot, that I did a deep dive into the best bridal lashes, specifically. These were different from the falsies I was used to—not quite as dramatic and feathery as the ones I wore on stage, but not necessarily as understated as something I'd wear on a casual evening out, either. With that in mind, I knew I had to take some new sets for a spin.

I've spent the past few months testing best-selling false lashes from eight of the industry's top brands, taking detailed notes and photos in the process in order to come back with a full report. Ahead, I'm bringing you my findings through a list of my absolute favorite ones, all of which I can confirm are worthy of wearing on your wedding day. Whether you plan on doing your own makeup or want to bring a few options to a trial with your wedding makeup artist, scroll on for my official edit of the best bridal lashes you can buy in 2025.

The Different Types of False Lashes I Tried

In pursuit of the best bridal eyelashes around, I made sure to cover all the bases—strip lashes, magnetic lashes and lash clusters included. If you're new to the false lash game, these are the three types you'll come across most when shopping for your perfect pair.

• Strip Lashes: The most common of the three varieties, strip lashes are made with one long, flexible band designed to cover the entire lash line. While they can vary in adhesive type, they'll generally be the easiest type to apply.
• Magnetic Lashes: Magnetic eyelashes adhere to the lash line via a unique, magnetized eyeliner formula. This lash type is great for those that already plan on sporting a liner look or want to rewear their false lashes down the road, as the mess-free application type keeps them clean and easy to reapply.
• Lash Clusters: Like strip lashes but shorter, lash clusters allow for a slightly more customizable look. Sets typically include multiple cluster lengths, making it easy to create bold and barely-there looks alike. You'll find these in a variety of adhesive types, including magnetic, glue-on and press-on.

How to Choose the Best Bridal Lashes

While there are lots of factors you can consider when choosing the perfect pair of fake eyelashes, these three are most important for brides:

Longevity

Even if your wedding day timeline isn't set in stone yet, it's safe to assume your glam is going to start early. And your look doesn't just need to last for a full day—it needs to last through a full day of frequent tears, sips of bubbly and sweating on the dance floor. This is why longevity was one of the most important factors I considered during the lash testing process. Each of the lashes below lived up to their promised weartime and then some, with the longest lasting a whopping 24 hours.

Look

Your wedding will likely be one of the most heavily photographed days of your life, so I made sure to prioritize the overall look of each lash just as much as its weartime. I focused most on the styles that appeared and felt the most natural, each one seamlessly blending with the lash line upon adhesion.

Comfort Level

It's normal to feel a little out of your comfort zone on your wedding day, but your false lashes shouldn't be the reason. The lashes below all passed the test when it came to weight and feel—no poking ends or itchy eyes, either.

The Best Bridal Lashes, Ranked by a Beauty Editor

Complete with everything from photos to standout features, here's my detailed roundup of the best wedding lashes you can buy.

Best Overall: Ardell Naked Press On Natural Lightweight Pre-Glued Lashes

Material: Synthetic | Type: Cluster | Length: 6mm–12mm | Application: Self-Adhesive | Reusable: Yes, 4X

Standout Features: Under-the-lash placement, mess-free application, applicator tool included

I didn't think any false lash could steer me away from my loyalty to Kiss trios, let alone a press-on one. These underlash extensions by Ardell, however, may have done just that. They're pre-glued for mess-free, seamless application, and they come with a dual-ended applicator that couldn't be easier to use. The second I'd pop one on, it was there to stay—no budging in sight. Along with being a breeze to apply, they were also the prettiest I tried. Including three different lash lengths plus a few teeny, tapered options specially designed for the inner corners of the eyes (or "mini innies," as Ardell likes to call them), they provided the most realistic results I'd ever seen, almost as though I'd gone to the salon for a lash lift. The package promises that the lashes are good for four wears, which is certainly believable based on how sticky they are. If you've never used underlash extensions before, make sure to avoid placing them too close to your waterline to prevent eye irritation.

Best Natural: KISS Falscara False Eyelash Multipack Clear Band

Material: Synthetic | Type: Cluster | Length: 12mm–16mm | Application: Glue, not included | Reusable: Yes, 3X

Standout Features: Under-the-lash placement, lightweight feel, 24-hour wear time

Kiss's cluster lashes have long been a favorite of mine, so when I saw that the brand launched a new iteration featuring a clear, undetectable band, I knew I had to give them a go. While I was nervous about the under-the-lash design, I found it even more approachable than traditional false lash application. Because they stick to the bottom of your lashes rather than the skin above your lash line, they were far more comfortable and easy to apply than the clusters I already know and love. In fact, I could hardly feel them throughout an entire day of wear. I placed one of each length side by side, but the beauty of clusters is that they make it easy to achieve a custom look. You could place two longer lengths at the end of each eye for even more drama, or stick to the short and medium lengths instead for a super natural effect. Regardless, make sure to pluck the falsies from the tray carefully—I ended up breaking a few of the fibers in the process.

Best for Beginners: House of Lashes Macchiato Faux Silk False Eyelashes

Material: Faux silk | Type: Strip | Length: 3.7mm–11mm | Application: Glue, not included | Reusable: Yes, 15X

Standout Features: Multicolored design, natural-looking volume

The Macchiato from House of Lashes instantly caught my eye thanks to its double-layered flare and unique colorway. The blend of black, brown and red wine-colored lashes, set on an invisible clear band, allowed for a fairly dramatic shape and length to come off looking surprisingly natural on my light features. I applied them using my trusty Duo Lash Adhesive, which kept them budge-free even while running a few errands in the Texas heat. For reference, I typically wear the first or second-lightest foundation in a shade range and, without mascara, it almost looks like I don't have lashes—they are that blonde. With that in mind, these are an excellent choice for brides who may be hesitant to try falsies for fear of things coming off too dramatic on their light lashes.

Best Budget: Eylure 3/4 Length Accent No. 013 Featherlight Feel Eyelashes

Material: Synthetic | Type: Strip | Length: Unspecified | Application: Glue, included | Reusable: Yes, 5X

Standout Features: Three-quarter-length band, affordable price

Strip lashes can be a little tough to work with, especially for those that have slightly smaller eyes. These natural-looking Eylure lashes fix the problem with their three-quarter band length, allowing for a foolproof fit regardless of eye shape or size, all without any measuring or trimming. The brand promises over 18 hours of wear, and they're not kidding. These lashes stayed on all day and throughout an evening-turned-morning out, and "featherlight" was right—these were noticeably lighter than every other lash I tried. These are quite a steal at $5, especially considering the fact that they come with glue, which performed great. I'd keep in mind that it isn't the easiest to use, though, as it applies via a wooden stick rather than a brush.

Best Glam: Glamnetic XOXO Magnetic Lashes

Material: Synthetic | Type: Strip | Length: 4mm–10mm | Application: Magnetic eyeliner, not included | Reusable: Yes, 60X

Standout Features: Durability and highly reusable design

If you're a newbie to magnetic lashes (I was), Glamnetic's couldn't be easier to use. This pair is designed to provide a bit of extra volume without coming off too over-the-top, making them perfect for brides that like a natural look. Because of the glue-free process, you can reuse them up to sixty times, and I definitely plan to do just that. These felt so durable and high-quality, however, this is also what made them feel a bit heavy. In my opinion, it was worth it for the luxe look and mess-free, no-glue application. If you're big on liquid eyeliner, these lashes combine two steps into one when paired with Glamnetic's Magnetic Liquid Eyeliner. And if you're not, don't fret—there's also a clear version for seamless, no-show application.

Best Vegan: Velour Butterfly Effect Plant Fibre Lashes

Material: Hemp | Type: Strip | Length: 6mm–12mm | Application: Glue, not included | Reusable: Yes, 20X

Standout Features: Realistic look, plant-based materials and packaging

Before you book an appointment for a brand new set of bridal last extensions, you might want to consider these. Long and fluttery yet barely there, these all-natural lashes provided that perfectly understated, your-lashes-but-better look à la Hailey Bieber and Sofia Richie on their wedding days. Even with their dramatically flared ends, they were so fine that you almost couldn't see them, which I think made them look even more realistic. If you want to amp up the drama a bit, you can easily add a coat or two of mascara once they're set in place. These don't come with glue, but Velour has multiple formulas you can choose from, including a vegan and cruelty-free lash bond designed to keep your bridal lashes in place for days.

Best Volume: Lilly Lashes GoGetter Self-Adhesive Lashes

Material: Faux mink | Type: Strip | Length: 12mm | Application: Self-Adhesive | Reusable: Yes, 5X

Standout Features: Comfortable self-adhesive strip, natural-looking volume

It's worth noting that I prefer my lashes on the more natural side, so "dramatic" for me may be minimal for someone else—which is evident to me given the fact that Lilly Lashes describes this style as "semi-bold" and "short." So while this particular pair of lashes was a bit bolder than my usual choice, I loved them. They were just glam enough for a fun night out with my girlfriends without feeling over-the-top. My favorite thing about these Kim K favorites, however, was the self-adhesive band, which seamlessly and comfortably stuck to my lash line without much adjustment needed. They were so easy to pop on after my usual makeup routine that I might just wear them a few more times, especially considering they're good for five wears.

Best Magnetic: Static Nails She's Effortless Static Lashes

Material: Synthetic | Type: Strip | Length: 12mm | Application: Magnetic eyeliner, not included | Reusable: Yes, 30X

Standout Features: Lightweight mirco-magnet band, durability

If I wasn't already obsessed with magnetic lashes after taking Glamnetic for a spin, it's safe to say Static Lashes sealed the deal. They did have the advantage of being tested second, so I already had a feel for how to apply them. However, these have 10 magnets that are a lot tinier than Glamentic's, making them feel even more effortless to apply. They snapped onto the magnetic liner with such ease and proved to be incredibly sturdy, staying in place all night until I gently pulled them off before bed. I used a very thin line of the brand's black magnetic liner for this, but you could use a clear version for a subtler look and an even more foolproof process. "She's Effortless" is part of Static's "Feeling Natural" collection, but you'll also find a range of other styles in the brand's slightly bolder "Feeling Flirty" and "Feeling Glam" collections.
