The false eyelash industry is no longer a blue ocean market but a red ocean market. With the removal of technical barriers and production processes. False eyelashes, an integral part of the global cosmetics market is becoming increasingly homogenized. As a leading eyelash manufacturer rooted in this market over 15 years old, we are closely monitoring the disruptive trends shaping the next generation of eyelash products. Among these trends, 3D printing and smart materials stand out.
- 3D Printing: Mass & Customization
3D printing or many people call it laser cutting, unlike traditional handmade or model-based processes, 3D printing do laser cutting on PBT sheets, to get lash styles.
What will the technology mean?
- Fiber: We use PBT fiber to produce lashes before, the fiber may have different diameters. Laser cutting technology use PBT sheet, like black paper(os. It make me remind of paper cut lashes:) )
- Band: We don’t need to sewing the band with black cotton or invisible lines anymore. Because when we do laser cutting, we only need to space the band area. Moreover, we can solve a problem at the same time — we can do a round edge band to avoid discomfort when wearing eyelashes.
Advantages:
- Precise Customization:From length to shape, 3D-printed eyelashes can be customized to suit individual preferences or local beauty trends. Literally, we can make any shape. You can even draw the shape you want, and we can make it come true 98%.
- Rapid Prototyping: New eyelash styles can be digitally designed and printed in hours, enabling brands to test and bring new styles to market at unprecedented speed.
- Eco-Friendly Production: 3D printing reduces material waste and energy consumption and promotes sustainable production practices.
- Labour Saving:Machine made process save at least 70% labour cost, so the price of lashes will cutoff.
For eyelash retailers and beauty brands, this means they can offer personalized cost-effective products at scale, meeting the growing demand for customization and innovation.
- Smart Materials – future is increasingly come true
Imagine eyelashes that bend based on temperature, change color based on light, and even react to humidity. Smart materials may seem futuristic, but they are increasingly enabling the following:
- Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs): These materials can remember a specific shape and return to its original shape when the temperature changes.
- Color-changing fibers: Thanks to photochromic or thermochromic technology, eyelashes can change color in response to sunlight or body temperature like color-changing lipstick.
- Flexible and lightweight fiber: These new materials can improve comfort, and extend the life of eyelashes.
Smart materials are opening up new possibilities for beauty industry, combining technology and fashion to create high-performance smart eyelashes.
