In fact, at this time, beauty lovers around the world have used false eyelashes for nearly 80 years.
In 1916, when David Griffith, the father of American cinema, was making the movie "Party Facing Differences", he wanted actress Hina Owen's eyelashes to show the effect of "comb her eyes like a fan", so he asked his assistant to use fake stickers. The glue from the beard puts false eyelashes on Hina Owen.
Another actor of the film, Lillian Gish, later wrote: "In the morning, Hina Owen came to the studio, her eyes seemed to be blurred by her eyelashes. But in the lens, she was beautiful."

By 1921, false eyelashes became popular in Hollywood circles. In the 1930s, false eyelashes became ubiquitous, black, brown, and gold. So the fashion magazine Vogue at the time praised: "False eyelashes give women a charming flicker."
It was also at this time that eyelash grafting technology appeared. At that time, eyelash grafting was not much different from modern ones. They used a very strong glue and used tweezers to stick individual eyelashes on the eyelids. After completion, they could last for a while.
In the 1950s and 1960s, there were more and more types of false eyelashes. At that time, the American supermodel and singer Cui Ji became popular with her iconic exaggerated eyelashes and eyeliner, which caused the public to imitate.
In another 20 to 30 years, with China's reform and opening up, the trend of false eyelashes has spread to major cities in China.
