“Boneless” Lashes Are Going Viral On BeautyTok, But What Are They?

If you're a regular scroller on BeautyTok, there's no doubt you've recently come across people posting about "boneless" lashes.

The term — which sounds just as unserious as the trend itself— refers to those sparse, straight eyelashes that just can't seem to hold a curl, no matter how much mascara or lash serum you throw at them.

Since "boneless eyelashes" started to make the rounds, thousands of videos have been made with people sharing a clip of their own. Basically, if your strands tend to stick straight out or droop down after you've painstakingly curled them, you apparently have boneless lashes.

"Guys wtf are boneless lashes and do I have them," one user writes in a video that has nearly 6 million views.

In the comments, one person jokes about the absurdity of it all by asking, "why does everything need a name?" while others reassure the original poster that they do not, in fact, have boneless lashes.

According to makeup artist Madeleine Gibson , the key is in how you curl them — and you might not be doing enough. "Don't be afraid to curl your lashes for a full 20 seconds each," she suggests. "I 'pump' the curler into the root of my lashes 20 times. I see people hit three pumps and think that's going to be enough, but, spoiler alert — it's not."

Another pro tip? Try curling your lashes after you've applied mascara. "That can help hold the curl, but it can cause some inadvertent clumping," says Gibson.
