The subtle Ghost Lash trend celebrities can’t stop wearing

It’s no secret that beauty trends have become much more minimalist in recent years. The latest pared-back obsession you’ll want to try? Ghost lashes. As the name implies, ghost lashes are an enhanced but natural-looking eye makeup style.

Natural, lightweight lashes are dominating runways and Instagram feed, Glamour writes.

Why Ghost Lashes have become so popular

Fashion influencers are increasingly choosing to make their eyelashes look as natural as possible, rather than emphasizing their density and volume. Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber are two of the biggest fans of this trend. Kylie Jenner, who used to love volume and extensions, has also started appearing with natural-looking lashes.

The new fashion trend is to apply bright shadows, graphic arrows, or intricate designs to the eyes and use only a little mascara. This creates an incomplete look and matches the grunge aesthetic perfectly.

Several techniques can be used to create the effect of ghostly eyelashes. For example, eyelashes can be curled and then a single thin layer of mascara is applied. In this case, it is important to use a product that does not give additional volume. After that, use a brush to separate the lashes to further emphasize their naturalness.

To achieve the most natural look, stylists recommend using brown mascara instead of black. It emphasizes the eyes without highlighting the lashes. This creates the softest possible effect.

Additionally, you can opt for lamination to eliminate the need for mascara altogether. This method is already popular among celebrities. Your lashes will be curled without excessive brightness or saturated color — perfect for achieving a ghostly effect.
