Want long, luscious lashes like your favourite K-pop idols? Then this Kill Lash Superproof Mascara is perfect for you. This mascara has fibres that extend your eyelashes naturally, making it look like you applied individual lashes - just like a K-pop makeup! Besides having amazing long-lasting and smudge-proof qualities, it comes with its own mascara remover which is way more effective in removing your eye makeup than a regular cleansing lotion!

If you are looking for one with fibres, I recommend the Fixing and Long Curling line.

Bonus tips

Thanks for reading till the end! Here's a little reward for you - more lashes tips!

To make Kpop Idol-like lashes: Use tweezers and pinch two lashes together after applying a coat of mascara. Make sure to not overdo it as it can look messy and too clumpy.

Makeup Salons in Korea do this too: Get a wooden q tip and warm the wooden part with a lighter or hair dryer lightly, then brush it onto the eyelashes to melt clumpy parts and make them more even! Always check the temperature with your fingers to make sure it is not too hot as your lashes can easily burn!
