The lashes have a dark band, so they blend in with your own lashes in a very natural way. I didn't even have to trim them! The shape is perfect and the lashes are light-weight. The third practice lash is genius! I didn't have much use for the applicator, as I prefer to use tweezers. The glue is clear and durable, so the lashes last all night. If you're careful with them, they're definitely reusable. What a great buy!
