The wet-look or “spider lash” trend creates a deliberately clumped, doll-like effect, with lashes grouped together rather than separated into the fluffy, fanned-out finish that has dominated recent lash trends.
Zendaya recently wore a “spidery lash” created by her makeup artist Ernesto Casillas for a Spider-Man: Brand New Day appearance, using a wet-look lash style as a subtle nod to the superhero film.
With searches for the trend now climbing, Fresha beauty expert Annabelle Taurua has revealed why spider lashes are making a comeback, and how Brits can recreate Zendaya’s statement look.
Annabelle Taurua, beauty expert at Fresha, explains:
“Spider lashes offer a completely different approach to the traditional lash looks we’ve become accustomed to. Rather than focusing on maximum volume and perfectly separated lashes, the trend embraces intentional clumping to create a more graphic, doll-like finish.
“Zendaya’s recent look is a great example of how celebrities can bring an existing beauty trend back into the mainstream. Her Spider-Man appearances have given the style an especially relevant cultural moment, and the 279% increase in UK searches suggests consumers are taking notice.
“For anyone wanting to recreate the look, the key is making the clumping look intentional. A wet-look lash extension set is the easiest way to achieve this professionally, while at home, mascara can be concentrated through small sections of the lash line to create a softer, spiky effect.”
