How to Remove False Eyelashes Safely
1. Prepare for Removal
- Use an oil-based makeup remover: Soak a cotton pad or swab with eye makeup remover (preferably oil-based for better adhesive breakdown).
- Avoid pulling directly: Never yank lashes off without loosening the glue first16.
2. Gently Loosen the Lashes
- Apply remover to the lash line: Hold the soaked cotton pad against the lash band for 10–20 seconds to dissolve the glue.
- Slide the lashes off: Starting from the outer corner, gently lift the lash strip toward the inner corner.
3. Clean and Store for Reuse (Optional)
- Remove residual glue: Use tweezers to peel off dried glue from the lash band.
- Disinfect with alcohol: Lightly dab the lashes with rubbing alcohol to sanitize before storage.
- Store properly: Place lashes back in their original case to maintain shape.
4. Post-Removal Care
- Cleanse your eyelids: Remove any leftover adhesive with micellar water to avoid irritation.
- Moisturize: Apply a gentle eye cream if skin feels dry.
Tip: Magnetic lashes don’t require glue and can be removed by simply pulling them off.
For stubborn glue, repeat the soaking process or try a specialized lash glue remover
