Need joint suggestion for last piece of the puzzle, inverting eyelashes

Calling out to all craft and tool users out there. I need some help with suggestions for the joints for bendable eye lashes. For those you just dropped by today, I am making a mask project right now trying to create blinking eyes for masks.

There is a discussion thread going on in the forums which might be interesting to you if you have a brilliant suggestion. Even if you do not have any ideas at the moment, check it out to find the engineering behind how kigurumi masks are made~^_^ The forum thread can be found here:

Right now, I am trying to figure out the last bit of the design for inverting eyelashes. I have drawn a diagram below to illustrate the nature of my design. It involves separating the conventional single piece eyelashes into 3 segments which can swivel and thus invert. To better understand what I mean, see the picture below.
