Laren Luke's false eylashes

Ardell fashion lashes (105) £3.56, onestopbeauty.co.uk.
Lauren says: By far my favourite lashes of all time. A huge statement, but I’ve been wearing them nonstop. They are reusable if washed ­carefully, and unbelievably soft. I’ve ordered more pairs. ★★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Eylure ready-to-wear pre-glued lashes (116), £4.95, 020-8573 9907.
Lauren says: Loved the shape of these. They are pre-glued but I used extra glue for a more comfortable wear. Quick tips on how to apply are ­helpful. ★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Mister Mascara Striptease lash kit blue, £8.76, Boots and beautique.com.
Lauren says: These come with two sets of blue eyelash strips – I assume one set is for the bottom lashes, but it’s not clear. More party than natural lash. ★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Models Own metallic multi-lash ­reusable lashes, £5, modelsownit.com.
Lauren says: Affordable, but not the best quality. However they come with glue and are reusable, making them good value. ★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Shu Uemura black V false lashes, £15, 020-7240 7635.
Lauren says: Good quality, and they come in a cute pull-out tray. The only letdown is they don’t come with any glue. Look great on. ★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Urban Decay Urban Lash Instaglam Technicolour, £11, Debenhams.
Lauren says: Urban Decay A faff to apply and I wished they’d been single strips rather than individual minis. But the glue is brilliant. ★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian
