Don’t let the name fool you. These aren’t made from silkworm spit. Silk lashes are usually a synthetic blend that’s been processed to feel like silk. They’re super fine, matte, and weightless.
They’re the perfect middle ground. Less shiny than plastic, cheaper than human hair. And they have a bit of that natural, wispy look. Think of them as the “I want to look like I woke up this way” lash.
A lot of high-end drugstore brands use this. Check the label. If it says “silk” but not “100% mulberry silk”? It’s fancy plastic. And that’s completely okay.
