Anime-inspired beauty is here to stay, and manga lashes are leading the charge. With their voluminous clusters and dramatic flare, these lashes give you the bold, wide-eyed look made famous by anime heroines. Inspired by characters like Sailor Moon, these lashes capture the playful, exaggerated charm that’s central to anime aesthetics. With fluttery, spiked clusters, they create a mesmerizing, doll-like gaze.

This trend is also closely tied to the rise of K-beauty, where achieving youthful, innocent eyes is a staple. South Korean beauty trends, like the Hime cut and aegyo sal, have long emphasized a soft, wide-eyed look that manga lashes perfectly complement. International pop stars such as Doja Cat, Rina Sawayama, and Twice’s Nayeon have embraced these anime-inspired beauty cues, bringing them to the mainstream. Whether it’s through the dramatic lower lashes or bold winged eyeliner, the connection between K-beauty and manga lashes is undeniable.
At Kulan Beauty, we’re proud to offer a collection of affordable, reusable, glue-free manga lashes that make it easy to bring this anime-inspired aesthetic to life. No more expensive salon appointments or frustrating lash glue—just a quick, easy, and dramatic transformation. Whether you're channeling the playful energy of Sailor Moon or the sweet allure of Sakura, our lashes help you embrace the manga fantasy with zero hassle.
What Are Manga Lashes? Understanding the Anime-Inspired Eyelash Trend
Inspired by the big, expressive eyes of anime and manga characters, these lashes mimic that doll-like gaze with spiky clusters, strategic spacing, and serious drama. They’re not your average strip lashes—they're whimsical, artistic, and full of character. Think exaggerated volume, varied lengths, and an almost hand-drawn quality that mimics the stylized art of your favorite shoujo heroine.
Unlike classic lash extensions or uniform falsies, manga lashes feature uneven spikes or segments to recreate that intentional, illustrated chaos. The result? Eyes that look wider, brighter, and full of personality. And the best part? You don't need to sit through a two-hour lash appointment or drop $200 to get the look.
From cosplay conventions to everyday makeup looks, manga lashes are for anyone ready to lean into bold beauty and experiment with their aesthetic. Whether you're going for a dramatic look or simply want to soften your everyday makeup with a touch of whimsy, they’re the perfect accessory for those who want to express emotion and character through their look.
How Manga Lashes Broke The Internet

The anime lash trend quickly gained traction on TikTok and Instagram, as beauty creators embraced the bold, wide-eyed look with dramatic lashes, graphic eyeliner, and whimsical lower lashes.
Originally popular in cosplay circles, the desire to emulate the big, sparkling eyes of manga characters quickly expanded into everyday beauty. Makeup lovers everywhere embraced the bold, wide-eyed look that was both nostalgic and refreshingly new. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram became a space for experimenting with lash shapes, lower-lash illusions, and graphic liner to achieve that exaggerated anime gaze.
Meanwhile, Japanese and Korean beauty trends like the Hime cut, Wolf cut, and aegyo sal (the cute under-eye puff look) were everywhere, making anime-inspired beauty even more mainstream. Lash salons started offering expensive manga-style lash extensions for $150–$200, promising that same full, dramatic effect. While the result was undeniably stunning, the cost and commitment were far from ideal.
That's when Kulan Beauty stepped in with an affordable, low-maintenance solution: magnetic lashes. Our glue-free, clip-on, hypoallergenic falsies give you the same high-drama manga lash look—without the mess, the appointments, or the expensive price tag. Whether you're after a bold, statement look or just want to enhance your everyday makeup, our magnetic lashes offer a simple way to get the anime-inspired style you love without the fuss.
Why Everyone’s Obsessed with Manga Lashes: Playful, Doll-Like Looks
Customizable Aesthetic
Manga lashes are incredibly versatile. Want to channel your inner magical girl? Choose rounder lash styles that open the eye. Want something sexier and more catlike? Go for a winged shape with flared outer corners. You can soften or dramatize the look depending on your mood.
And because of their clustered design, you can even cut or rearrange segments to fit your eye shape or artistic vision. Makeup becomes modular. Your face becomes a canvas.
When Fandom Meets Fashion
Anime is no longer just a subculture—it’s high fashion, streetwear, editorial and everyday style. Collaborations between anime franchises and fashion brands are common now. From Sailor Moon sneakers to Jujutsu Kaisen runway moments, anime aesthetics are everywhere.
Manga lashes sit right at the intersection of fandom and fashion. They let you pay homage to your favorite characters while looking fresh, cute, and cool IRL. It’s cosplay without the costume.
Fun Over Flawless
The era of perfect contour and cut creases is giving way to something more experimental and fun. Beauty now celebrates individuality and boldness. Manga lashes embody that shift—they’re more about character than symmetry, more about vibe than perfection.
They say, "Yes, I’m a main character." They say, "I’m playing today." They let you romanticize your life and turn mundane errands into side quests.
