Beauty fans looking to ditch expensive lash extensions and try an at-home solution are racing to shop these DIY lash extensions from viral brand ANSWR – and users say ‘people are shocked when I tell them I did them myself.’

Giving you long, fluttery lashes in moments from the comfort of your own home (and for a fraction of the price), the ANSWR At-Home Lash Extensions Essentials Kit is the quick and easy toolkit you've been looking for.

Even better? MailOnline shoppers can enjoy an exclusive 20 per cent discount using code LASHATHOME20 at checkout.

Lashes come in a set of four pre-mapped pairs for just £19.90. That brings the cost of a seven-day wear down to only £4.95. Plus, the kit price is now £27.92 with our discount code.

Designed to help you achieve stunning lashes without the time, money and damage of lash extensions, ANSWR’s at-home lash extensions are the affordable alternative you’ve been looking for, even coined a ‘lifesaver’ by impressed users.

‘I’ve tried many lash products before, and these are hands-down the best! They’re so easy to apply; I didn’t even need practice,' wrote one impressed five-star reviewer.

‘The fibres are soft, natural-looking, and feel so comfortable. Honestly, I can’t feel them at all! Mine lasted over a week without budging - amazing quality for a fraction of the cost of salon extensions.’

Unlike standard lash extensions which slot between lashes and can be damaging, ANSWR’s featherlight, pre-mapped lash clusters are applied to the underside of the lashes, creating a natural and seamless salon-like look in as little as ten minutes.

Better still, the adhesive clusters are designed to stay for up to seven days thanks to the weightless, flexible bond that’s used.

And they really do stay put. In a trial group survey of 14 participants, 98 per cent confirmed the lashes stayed on for seven days, while 97 per cent agreed the lashes were easy to wear. Not bad at all.

Totally different to the bulky, rigid strip lashes of times gone by, these sleek clusters have been meticulously crafted from delicate, Korean-sourced 0.15mm vegan silk fibres to leave a fluttery, natural-looking lash with no visible seams.

Better still for those with sensitive eyes, the ANSWR clusters are hypoallergenic, while the bonds are free from harsh chemicals, ensuring zero eye sensitivity or damage to the natural lashes.

Application using the At-Home Lash Extensions Essentials Kit is super easy, too, taking as little as ten minutes to achieve stunning lashes. Simply Blond, Double-Bond, Cluster and Seal - and I would know, as I tried them for myself.

The lashes are also available in sets of four pre-mapped pairs in your choice of small, medium or large, idea for more natural looks or big, bold lashes.

We’re unsurprised then that beauty buffs absolutely love the affordable lash extensions, calling them ‘so lightweight’ and ‘as good as professional ones’.

‘These lashes always look fresh and full. No more dealing with awkward gaps or messy lashes in the weeks before a salon infill.’ Raved one five-star reviewer.

Another added: ‘These lashes look as good as professional ones but without the crazy salon cost. I’m obsessed!’

A third user wrote: ‘I get compliments all the time on my lashes, and people are shocked when I tell them I did them myself at home. Thank you, ANSWR.’
