False eyelashes

In 1882, Henry Labouchère, of the British periodical Truth, reported: "Parisians have found out how to make false eyelashes [by having hair sewn into the eyelids]".

[1] A similar report appeared in the July 6, 1899, edition of The Dundee Courier, which described the painful method for elongating the lashes, under the headline "Irresistible Eyes May Be Had by Transplanting the Hair": the article explained how the procedure achieved longer lashes by having hair from the head sewn into the eyelids.

[2] In 1902, Karl Nessler, a German-born hair specialist and inventor, patented "A New or Improved Method of and Means for the Manufacture of Artificial Eyebrows, Eyelashes and the like" in the United Kingdom.

Taylor's false eyelashes had a crescent-shaped strip of fabric bearing tiny pieces of hair.

[8] Another inventor of false eyelashes is Maksymilian Faktorowicz, a Polish beauty guru and businessman, who founded the company Max Factor.

[10] One day, Owen showed up with her eyes swollen nearly shut, her co-star Lillian Gish wrote in her memoir.

[13][14] In 2014, Katy Stoka, founder of One Two Cosmetics, invented magnetic false eyelashes as an alternative to those affixed with glue.

Once these factors are evaluated the client and the technician can pick the material, length, color, and curvature of the lashes that best suits them.
