How Zendaya’s ‘Spider Lash’ Was Recreated: The Exact Products and Steps from Her Makeup Artist

# What happened Zendaya wore a spiky, clumpy lash look at the London premiere that drew attention online. Her makeup artist, Ernesto Casillas, posted an explainer video showing exactly which products and tools he used and how he applied them to recreate those "spider lashes." He used Lashify-brand items throughout the process and demonstrated an application method based on lash clusters rather than traditional strip lashes or single-fiber extensions.

# The product kit Casillas used Casillas names five Lashify items in his video and caption. The pieces and retail prices cited in the video are:

• Lashify Whisper Light Classic Dual-Sided Flexible Bond (black) — £29
• Lashify Stardust Gossamer Lash, Size 14 — £22
• Lashify Cherry Stax Gossamer Lash, Size 12 — £19
• Lashify Cherry Stax Gossamer Lash, Size 14 — £19
• Lashify Fuse Control Wand — £22
• Lashify Glass Finishing Coat (sealer) — £24

Casillas's total for the set of products as presented comes to roughly £135.

# The step-by-step method he demonstrated Casillas breaks the look into four concrete steps in the video:

1. 1Prime

• Apply a coat of the Whisper Light Classic bond (black) as you would mascara. Apply clear bond under the lashes and at the base of the clusters to prepare areas where clusters will adhere.

1. 1Add drama at the outer corners

• Place three Stardust clusters in Size 14 on the outer corner. He uses the Fuse Control Wand both to position these clusters and to "fuse" them into place.

1. 1Build clusters through the center

1. 1Seal

• Fuse everything together once the clusters are placed, then finish with the Glass Finishing Coat sealer to lock the application.

# Practical notes for readers who want to try it

• Time and patience: cluster-based builds require placement and fusing of multiple tiny lash groups rather than a single strip application.
• Cost: expect to pay roughly £135 for the Lashify products listed, before any additional supplies like tweezers or adhesive extras.

# Alternatives mentioned The article notes a lower-effort clumpy-lash shortcut associated with Selena Gomez: using your regular mascara and a pair of tweezers to mimic clumpy, separated lash spikes. That option avoids the cluster-application technique and the specific Lashify kit.

# Why this matters for a reader If you want to recreate Zendaya's London-premiere lashes exactly, Casillas's video gives a complete shopping list and a repeatable sequence: prime, place larger clusters at the outsides, build toward the center with smaller clusters, fuse, and seal. The method focuses on deliberate cluster placement to achieve a spiky, bratty silhouette rather than evenly separated, natural-looking lashes.
