Ladies, if you have eyelash extensions and you're shopping for a sleeping mask that won't touch them, or you need to protect your makeup while snoozing, you've come to the right place. JUST BUY THEM. Trust me. I tested a bunch of various styles of eyemasks and these puppies won hands down.
First off, you get a set of two for an affordable price, which is fantastic. They are soft and comfy, adjustable, lightweight, and travel-friendly, yet still completely block out light. They have a clear rubbery strip added to the inner portion of the elastic headband to keep them securely in place on your noggin, but it hasn't tangled or damaged my long hair, even if I'm wearing my hair down and loose.
Also, unlike other styles I tried, these aren't cumbersome or awkwardly large, so they save you from looking like you're wearing a VR headset or like you just walked off a funky sci-fi film.
Many of the eyemasks similar to this style don't have an equally highly domed curvature that keeps its shape like these do. Now don't get me wrong, it's not *hard* so if you sleep on your stomach with your face smashed into a pillow, that won't do you any good. However, if you sleep on your back or side, you're golden.
These will protect not only your eyelashes, but will also preserve your eye makeup. This factor is great if you're an insecure weirdo like me who wears her eyeliner to bed when sleeping next to her man. So if you care about impressing that special someone with your stunning beauty upon awakening (as opposed to looking like a smudgy troglodyte), these will be your friend. They're also handy if you've spent a significant amount of time perfecting your peepers, but you want to catch a nap on a flight and still wake up looking glam.
As I mentioned earlier, I ordered a bunch of eyemasks to test out alongside this brand, so I've compared these against about 5 other styles. The others I ordered were more expensive and the type that are lined with foam or rolled fabric along the rim to keep the cover elevated above your eyeballs. Surprisingly, NONE of that type were nearly as effective as this less expensive and more lightweight design. I would have thought the more heavy duty ones would be best for securely protecting your eye area, but every heavy duty pair came much closer to touching my eyelids (or actually did touch them) and every pair were also awkwardly large and unattractive. I returned all the rest and kept only this set.
In case you couldn't tell by now, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and highly recommend!

Best I’ve found so far
I’ve gone through a lot of masks as they generally don’t last very long. A year or two and the strap is stretched out of shape. Compared to all the previous ones I’ve had, this is one of the best I’ve tried.I’ve had this style of 3D mask before and found them comfortable. As I’ve recently developed blepharitis (dry eye), it’s nice to have a mask that is off the eye yet blocks excessive air flow from the fan I sleep under during the summer. Nice, deep recesses here. The folded fabric strip over the nose works fine to block light around that area. Some people think you have to fold that upward, but that’s wrong. It’s just supposed to lay over the bridge of your nose.The one advancement this has over previous masks I’ve had is the silicone strip on the strap. It really helps. The first thing I did on this was adjust the strap almost to its loosest. I don’t have a large head – hat size 22.5″ – yet it fits fine with only an inch of overlap in the hook & loop section. Might be a problem for people who do actually have large heads. Regardless, with the strap so loosened, it’s quite comfortable for me with very little pressure yet the silicone makes it pretty secure. It doesn’t move much overnight even as I toss and turn. Keeping it as loose as possible should hopefully prolong the life of the strap by keeping it from stretching prematurely. Another mask in this molded 3D style had the inner fabric eventually delaminate from the foam over one eye. We’ll see if that happens with this one.Only thing I didn’t like was an odd smell to it when first unpacked. I just let it air out for a bit.

I’m telling you add it to the cart
Bought them to protect my lash extensions. Works great, super comfortable, no light shines through, and it protected my lashes. Honestly amazing quality! Material was nice and thick but not overwhelming. Came with two options of course Purple, and Black. Nice adjustable strap for comfort, and it didn’t slip off my face at all.

Can’t be without it
I’ve been wearing these contoured eye masks for a couple of years now , deepest sleep I ever had.This one has an extra feature.It has extra fabric on the bridge of your nose that keeps out more light better.The part that always wears out on all of these masked are the elastic band around your head.So far so good on this one. This one has extra reinforcement on the back side of the elastic band.The last brand that I loved but they don’t make anymore, it had a deeper contour for the eyes so not to touch your eyes and you could barely feel it on your face was thinner and the eye area was wider.But it had a problem with the fabric peeling away from the foam ( it was glued to it I guess.) And the elastic band around your head wore out.I picked this one as a replacement because it’s not too bulky a little more padded around the eyes then I like but ok.Some have too much thick padding around your eyes. It distracts me from trying to go to sleep when I can feel it pressing against my face like spongy doughnuts around my eyesThe only part I don’t like but it’s not terrible is that the Velcro on this band closure is very long and grabs my hair sometimes in the back if I don’t put it together just right.But that isn’t really a product error

Very comfortable and effective
As a frequent traveler for whom sleep doesn’t come easily I have tried A LOT of sleep masks. This mask is handed down the best I’ve ever had. It’s very comfortable on the face (no pressure spots and very soft), the design does a great job of blocking out all light, and the hippy surface of the inside of the strap really helps it stay in place if you like a slight looser strap (I don’t want to have to wear a tight strap around my head all night. I just bought another set just in case I lose the ones I I already have.

I love the cupped eye space (no contact with eyelashes), the little flap of stretchy material that molds to your nose to prevent light from getting in, and the adjustable elastic band which is coated on the inner surface with silicone strips to prevent slipping on you hair! I have been using them for months now and handwash (they do say machine wash). A problem I encountered with other brands with eye cups was the laminate peeling off very soon after washing multiple times, causing me to blanket stitch around the entire mask to keep the laminate together longer. Not so with these masks as they have an extra binding on the outer edges, so no delamination.I do know that people complain about these types being very hot to wear but I do not suffer that problem.The manufacturer did a bang-up job listening to what people had to say about other masks and produces what I think are the best masks available, a lot better than my previous fave brand, Bucky!

Reste assez bien en place et l’espace à l’intérieur est parfait si vous portez des faux cils.

Honestly the GOAT. I’ve tried so many (expensive, niche,organic etc etc) & this is it. It doesn’t fall apart when you wash it like the other domed bonded ones. Blocks the light. Light enough doesn’t flop off your face, dont lose shape. Nose flap is soft and comfy – not foam so it doesn’t move and rub in your eye (good for side sleepers). Fabric doesn’t go weird with night face masks. I took it overseas for a month and it performed!
