Regular Mink lashes are known to be very light and soft, making them a more comfortable choice over silk lashes. They also have a gloss or shin to them and have a more natural fluffy look.
They often come with a perm and will last a little longer than silk but will cost you a lot more. You also need to perm them at home to maintain the desired curl like you would your own natural lashes.
With Faux Mink lashes the curl is permanent.
