46% and 44%. Two points apart across 658 questions is close enough to call a tie. Velour Lashes sits third at 30%, and Wet Brush is fourth at 28% on the tools side. Ulta carries nearly half the offers.

Who ChatGPT names
Share of shelf is the percentage of answers a brand appeared in. It is not a rank of quality or sales — it is how often the model brought the brand up when someone asked about false lashes & tools.
- 1 KISS 46%
- 2 Ardell 44%
- 3 Velour Lashes 30%
- 4 Wet Brush 28%
- 5 Eylure 25%
- 6 House of Lashes 25%

- Target 15% · 438 offers
- Sephora 8% · 238 offers

How we measured this
- We asked ChatGPT 658 shopping questions about false lashes & tools in July 2026. The questions never named a brand, so nothing here was prompted into the answer.
- Questions were repeated. ChatGPT does not answer the same way twice, so a single ask tells you nothing — share of shelf is the pattern across all 658 of them.
- We recorded every brand mentioned and every product offer shown, 3,726 offers across 154 brands.
- This is one engine, one country, one point in time. It is a snapshot of a shelf that moves.
