LED Eyelashes Coming soon, And Here’s How They work

A new type of fake LED eyelashes is coming and you’ve never seen anything like it before. Most of the time, fake lashes can give you length and volume, but now they can also make you glow.  F. Lashes are basically what the name says – flashy lashes.

Created by designer Tien Pham, these false lashes are put on with eyelash glue, just like any others, but what makes them different is that they glow. Made with actual LEDs, the lashes come in pink, red, blue, light blue, white, yellow and green, and they have different modes, including scroll, dance and sparkle, that can be switched by the click of a button.

The only downside is that the lashes aren’t available quite yet – they’ll launch on Kickstarter somewhere around mid-July. Luckily, July isn’t too far away, so you can start getting excited now!

Here's how they work:  the eyelash strips are glued to your natural eyelashes using any regular eyelash glue. A small watch battery is then attached to the back of your head using hair clips. Two tiny wires then connect the battery to each eyelash strip.

In a video taken at the fair, Tien is shown demonstrating the glowing eyelashes and their many modes. By pressing a button attached to the battery, users can make the eyelashes sparkle, move from side to side, and more.

The futuristic eyelashes ended up receiving an Editor's Choice ribbon at the Maker Faire. By mid-July, Tien plans on creating a Kickstarter page to fund production and begin selling F.Lashes to the public. As a result, pricing is not currently available. Tien does, however, know that he will be designing the eyelashes to come in pink, red, blue, light blue, white, yellow, and green.
