Edy Kurowska, the celebrity lash artist who has worked with Trinny Woodall, Rita Ora, and Zoë Kravitz, has launched a £45 DIY lash kit. This kit is a game-changer for those who want the natural-looking, full lash look without the hefty price tag of a salon appointment. But is it worth the hype? I decided to find out by trying out Edy's Pre-Glued Lash Clusters myself.
What makes this kit so special is Edy's attention to detail. She considers each client's facial proportions, bone structure, and eyebrow shape to create a bespoke finish. This is why her clients trust her with their lashes, as she doesn't overwhelm their natural features but instead frames them beautifully. In my opinion, this level of customization is what sets her kit apart from other at-home lash options.
The kit contains clusters in different lengths, allowing you to create a finish tailored to your eye shape. I opted for shorter pieces through the inner corner and gradually built to longer clusters on the outer edge, achieving that softly lifted effect Edy is known for. The result was defined yet subtle, and I didn't have a thick band sitting heavily across my eyelid, which is a common issue with strip lashes.
One of the biggest advantages of this kit is its ease of use. Unlike traditional strip lashes, these are applied in small sections underneath your natural lashes rather than across the entire lash line. It took me a few minutes to get into a rhythm, but once I'd placed the first couple of clusters, I found them surprisingly intuitive. Edy's top tip is not to rush and not to overcomplicate it - if you can apply mascara, you can absolutely do this.
The kit includes seven styles inspired by cities around the world, each designed to create a slightly different look. Paris is the most natural, with light brown fibres ideal for those with finer or lighter lashes, while Warsaw most closely recreates the look of Edy's signature salon extensions. If you prefer a little more texture, Seoul takes inspiration from the soft, separated look of a Korean lash lift. Tokyo, designed to create a wide-eyed effect, is particularly flattering on hooded lids and is Trinny Woodall's go-to style.
One thing that immediately stands out is the kit's versatility. You can remove the clusters each evening and store them back in the box to reuse up to five times, or leave them in place for several days. After wearing them for 24 hours, they adjust to your body temperature, so you can shower, swim, and exercise with them on. When you're ready to remove them, gently peel them away - they won't pull your natural lashes.
While the kit doesn't completely replace the experience of having a bespoke set applied by an expert, it's the closest I've tried. If you've always loved the look of professional extensions but found traditional strip lashes fiddly or intimidating, this kit is well worth considering. Personally, I think it's a game-changer for those who want the full lash look without the salon price tag. What makes this particularly fascinating is the level of customization and ease of use. In my opinion, it's a must-try for anyone looking to enhance their natural lashes at home.
