Hands down my favorite mink lashes (even over Velour!). With Velour, the lash band is very thick, but with Esquido, the lash band is thin so it's easier to apply and goes well if you're trying to go for a natural eye. That being said though, they also have dramatic lashes so you get the best of both worlds. They're pricey right now because of the dollar drop, but I would recommend getting them if they have a pop up shop near you (they have some a couple times a year) or even at IMATS, where I got my first pair! Once you go mink, you'll never go back.
