All synthetic eyelash extensions are made of a soft, thin plastic called polybutylene terephthalate (also known as polybutylene terephthalate). PBT is a semicrystalline thermoplastic polymer that is heated and then shaped to obtain the desired eyelash curl that hardens as it cools.

While they come in a wide range of thicknesses and curls, and can be applied to achieve a very natural look, synthetic eyelashes are the most popular among women who want a more dramatic and artificial look.

However, because they weigh more than silk or mink eyelash extensions, for many people they are not a good option; personally I think that silk or mink are the only types of extensions that should be used in the long term, so that natural eyelashes do not weaken. Customers who want a very natural and youthful look tend to prefer these types of extensions because they are very comfortable to use, last a long time and look good, even if the natural eyelashes are thin and weak. Magnetic eyelashes work by placing the magnetic false eyelashes between the eyelashes and are therefore interspersed in the natural eyelashes with the magnetic eyelashes. Both false eyelashes and semi-permanent eyelash extensions improve eyelash length and volume, although they differ in several ways.
