These light up eyelashes are an Arduino hack for the beauty community. Although they might not necessarily be a very wearable look (unless you are into bold lashes on another level), the interactive LED eyelashes follow other out-there beauty looks like glitter brows. Co-created by Arduino designer Tien Pham, f.lashes will be the subject of a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to be launched in mid-July 2017.
F.lashes come in seven different colors (pink, white, red, yellow, green, blue and light blue) and can be applied with normal eyelash glue. The light up eyelashes are powered by a super small (3.3 volts) watch battery, which allows them to glow up for up to four hours. They are also designed not to emit heat on a noticeable level and hold up well to sweat.
