The 1950s, British fashion model Twiggy’s iconic lashes in the 1960s, and the classic era of the 1990s are all notable examples of spider lashes. It was a time when people, including celebrities and fashion models, considered the spider lashes to be an iconic symbol of their makeup.
Furthermore, in the 1960s, having spidery-looking baby doll lashes was also very notable and considered a symbol of pride in makeup. Clumping together spider-like-looking lashes that were made famous by British model Twiggy is now back in the era of 21s.

Take, for example, the makeup artist Deanna Melluso, who made the spidery lashes of a famous model. Professional makeup artist and hair stylist Sophie Baverstock created her own clumpy, spider-like lashes.
What are Spider Lashes?
To get the chunky, spiky look of spider legs, apply multiple coats of mascara to both your top and bottom lashes; this is known as spider lashes. The spider lash effect is not a new look; in fact, it has been popular for decades.
David Razzano is a famous makeup artist in New York, as well as a beauty director at Sephora. His art is truly amazing, evoking the appearance of old spider lashes in a modern style.
How To Get Spider Lashes
To get the best results, choose a buildable, thick formula that adds both length and volume and that stays wet in between coats so that you can easily build it.
By layering more coats on top of the previous coats, you can get the desired spidery-looking lashes. It is absolutely very easy; everyone can do this at home.
The spider-like look is only possible with long eyelashes. If you have short eyelashes, you may need a lash extension to achieve the desired spider lash look.
Follow these steps only if you have long eyelashes. On the other hand, if your eyelashes are short or thin and you need the desired look of spidery lashes, then I recommend you consult a professional makeup artist.

In this video tutorial, a girl is using Loreal telescopic mascara to get the desired appearance of spider lashes. The way she builds it is adorable and very easy to do.
Let me show you some steps to follow:
1. Curl Your Lashes
Curl your eyelashes using your favorite eyelash curler. It is very necessary step to get the desired lashes appearance. It will increase your lash length and will provide a pop lifted spiky look of spider legs.
2. Layer Thick Coats on Top and Bottom Lashes
To achieve the twiggy lash look, you need to layer, layer, and layer the product on your lashes. Remember, your approach should be narrowly focused, so go vertically with the wand. Forget the perfection in this step and add more layers to your lashes. The more clumpier your lashes, the more perfect it is to get twiggy lashes.
3. Clump Lashes Together Using a Tweezer
After your lashes are as thick as you desire, take out a clean pair of tweezers. To create the appearance of spider legs, gently pinch the tips of multiple lashes with a tweezer to separate and point your lashes.

She used Loral telescopic mascara, Sky High mascara, and lash sensational mascara by Maybelline to achieve the desired spidery leg appearance in this video.
4. Let The Lashes Dry
Let your lashes dry completely before going anywhere. Do not air the lashes; it might take a little longer to dry than applying one or two coats of mascara because there are so many layers now. So sit back and relax; let the lashes dry completely.
How To Remove Spider Lashes and Clumpy Mascara
Removing your spider lashes can take more patience than a normal mascara removal. It may take a bit more effort than you’re used to. Because there are so many layers, remove them gently and patiently to avoid any lash loss.
It is best to use micellar water or cleansing balm. You must use waterproof makeup remover because it has strong properties to remove mascara from lashes without any extra effort.
- Soak a cotton round in the micellar water and place it on your closed eye.
- Gently hold the cotton round for 30 seconds on your eyes. It will dissolve the mascara.
- Now, gently swipe the cotton round downward and wash your face.
If you have any residual mascara left around your eyes, take a clean cotton round and soak it again in micellar water, then gently clean the mascara spots.
