LAUBESS White Lash Clusters Review: Are Colored Lashes Worth Trying?

I ordered the LAUBESS white lash clusters on a whim before a festival where I wanted something that would actually show up in photos. Black lashes disappear against dark eyes in low light. White lashes catch every flash, every beam of sunlight, every reflection — they're not subtle, and that's the point. At $9.97, they were the most affordable way to try the colored lash trend without committing to a salon appointment.

The tray arrived with 40D volume clusters in a mix of 8-16mm lengths, C-curl, on a clear invisible band. The white is a true frost white — not off-white, not cream, not silver. It's the kind of white that reads as intentional and editorial. I usually use strip lashes, but I went on Amazon and found these colored clusters, and they gave me a much fuller look than strips ever did.

Do Colored Lashes Actually Look Good, or Just Costume-y?

This was my biggest hesitation. White lashes sound like a cosplay accessory — fun for a convention, weird at brunch. The reality surprised me: on, they read less as "white" and more as "defined." The contrast against the lash line makes each individual cluster visible in a way black-on-black never is. From across a room, they look like a very pronounced, fluffy lash set. Up close, the white is unmistakable and striking.

The 40D density helps here — these aren't sparse wispies. Each cluster has enough volume that the white reads as a solid shape rather than scattered individual hairs. Someone I know who tried a similar colored set said white would be gorgeous — it really pops, especially if you have lighter features. On dark eyes, the contrast is dramatic. On light eyes, it creates this cohesive wash of brightness that photographs beautifully.

I tried a similar switch from strips to colored clusters, and the difference in fullness was immediate. The clusters create this layered, dimensional look that flat strips can't match — each spike adds depth instead of just sitting in a single row. It took me maybe two applications to get the placement right, and after that I stopped reaching for my old strip lashes entirely.

Colored lash clusters application — fuller look than strips

The catch: white lashes demand a cohesive makeup look. Wearing them with zero other makeup looks like you forgot half your face. A clean base, defined brows, and a simple lip are enough — you don't need a full beat — but you do need something to anchor them.

Are Clusters Actually Damaging to Natural Lashes?

Clusters that stay on for multiple days can cause damage — lashes at different growth stages get bonded together, and when a mature lash is ready to shed, it can tug on and pull out younger lashes still attached. This is the main argument against extended-wear clusters, and it's valid. The damage accumulates over time, not overnight.

With the LAUBESS whites, I treated them as a one-day wear — applied in the morning with bond and seal, removed gently that evening with remover. No sleeping in them, no multi-day stacking. The removal was clean, no lashes came out, and my natural lashes looked the same the next morning. If you go back to clusters, castor oil every night on the lash line works wonders for keeping the follicles healthy.

The key is treating colored clusters as an event product, not a daily replacement for mascara. Wear them when you want impact, take them off properly, and give your lashes a break between applications. The damage stories come from people who wore clusters continuously for weeks. One night out in white lashes won't wreck your lash line.

Pros, Cons, and Verdict

What I liked: the frost white is a true, clean white — not yellowed or off-tone. The 40D volume means they read as a solid shape even from a distance. The invisible band is genuinely invisible once applied — no dark ridge against a pale lash. They photograph incredibly well, especially with flash. And at under ten dollars, the cost-per-wear for occasional use is negligible.

What I didn't love: the white shows any adhesive residue if you're messy with application — you need a clean hand. They're not a daily wear product — these are for events, festivals, date nights, and photos. And the C-curl is slightly less dramatic than I'd want for a statement lash — a D-curl version would give even more lift.

If you've been curious about colored lashes but worried they'd look like a Halloween costume, the LAUBESS whites are a low-risk way to find out. For ten dollars, you get a complete look that photographs better than black lashes and starts conversations. Just treat them as a special-occasion tool, not a daily driver.
