In 2016, as part of my yearly favourites video, I declared that Esqido had become my favourite fake lashes on the market. It’s a bold statement, and an expensive one at that since these are quite up there in the price tag department, but we’re a year later now and I can still confirm that Esqido still makes the most beautiful and comfortable lashes I’ve ever worn!
Esqido offered to send me some of their new styles and I was more than happy to accept them! Funnily enough, their lashes are so good that in the year or so I’ve had the other ones in my collection, I’ve only managed to burn through one pair and the other pair is still going strong. So when you look at the elevated price tag of these, just know that you’re getting really good quality with it. And since my last review of their lashes was in 2016, I thought it’d be fun to refresh my memory on why I love these so much.
The number one reason I like the Esqido lashes so much is that the cotton band that the lashes are attached to is incredibly flexible. Unlike your typical plastic band that has no dang flex, the Esqido band can conform to your eye shape every time without issue. Their lash styles are also beautiful (and they’ve added a lot of new ones recently!) so when you combine a beautiful fake lash with a comfortable band? You’ve got an absolute killer product!
The Esqido Radiance lashes ($29 USD) are labelled a 2 out of 5 stars in terms of volume on their web site which makes these more on the natural side of things. The Radiance lashes have a little bit of a V-shape flare at the base of the lashes which help make your eyes look bigger.
The Unforgettable lashes ($28 USD) are very similar to the Radiance lashes, although these have a little bit more of a flared out effect on the edges. This is also a 2 out of 5 star volume. (I decided since my last post was focused on big lashes, I wanted this one to be centered around the more natural looking ones.) The Unforgettable lashes have less of a V flare compared to the previous one, but they are more concentrated on the outer corner which helps to elongate the eye.
In all honesty, the difference between the Radiance and Unforgettable lashes is not a big one (although I only have Radiance pictured here), so if you like one style more than the other, go for it, but they’ll pretty much produce the same look.
Final Thoughts
It almost goes without saying, but these are just as good as ever! The band is super comfortable and flexible making this a lash I’d actually suggest for false lash newbies. I realize that dropping about $30 USD on a pair of lashes may seem daunting for a beginner, but these are hands down the easiest to apply out of all of the lashes I’ve tried. I can also easily get 20-25 uses out of these lashes which is kind of unheard of. A lot of brands claim they’ll last that long, but they often don’t! These do actually stand the test of time.
Another thing to add – Esqido‘s web site is really, REALLY good. They have side by side comparisons of no lashes vs each lash style applied to the model and it’s incredibly informative. It’s not an overly edited look either. They stick to no mascara and layer it on top of the eye so you can see how much volume it adds. I was really impressed by their attention to detail and the clarity of the pictures on their site.
In short, Esqido lashes are expensive, yes, but they are hands down my favourite lash brand out there and are worth every single penny!
The products featured in this post were sent to me consideration.
I have such a hard time putting on false lashes successfully and every time I put on the pair that Esqido sent me, it’s like they practically apply themselves. And yes, totally agree on the longevity of these, I can’t see mine wearing out any time soon.

Yessss! I’m so glad to hear that! Something to do with that great band and how light and fluffy they are, I think. Love hearing that you liked them too!
I want to try some Esqido lashes but they’re quite pricey so I can’t bring myself to spend the money. I need to practice putting lashes on lol

Ugh I know. It’s such a catch 22. On one hand these are the easiest lashes I’ve ever put on in my life. On the other… no newbie wants to spend upwards of $30 for a pair of lashes so they can start learning how to apply them!
