A false eyelash is a reproduction of a complete eyelash on a base that is glued to the eye lid around the bottom of the eyelashes. They can easily be removed and are only a short-term enhancement to improve the appearance of eyelashes.

An eyelash extension is a series of individual eyelashes that are glued to current eyelashes and will last for around 4 weeks before a touch up is needed
