Premade Fans & W Lashes Guide
We were late to premade fans, and we said so publicly. Every version we tested either sat badly on the natural lash or brushed off it, and we weren't willing to put our name on something that cost artists retention.
W lashes were the answer — fibres rolled into one during manufacture rather than glued — and everything on this page comes out of that work.
Whether you're weighing premades against handmade fans or learning to pick a W properly, start here.
