There will come a time when using fake eyelashes where you will need to remove the false eyelash glue. You may have applied them to attend a party or go out for the night. The process to remove fake eyelashes is just as easy as applying them.
It is wise to take off fake eyelashes prior to going to bed for the night. You can do this by simply utilizing a warm compress or a quality makeup remover. In order to keep your fake eyelashes in good repair, you need to soak them in an eye cleaning solution between wear.
TIP: To avoid ripping your skin or pulling out your natural lashes, NEVER pull the fake lashes from your eyelid. And do not apply the glue directly to the eyelid — you could get it in your eye or actually glue an eye shut!
Remove the fake eyelashes by taking hold of the inside edge (next to your nose) and using a slow, gentle motion to pull the lash toward the ear.
You want to use a cotton swat to apply fake eyelash remover to your eyelids. To apply the eyelash remover, apply a small amount along your lash line. You want to apply it from the outside of your eye to the inside. If you do not have access to eyelash remover, you may use eye makeup remover to do the job.
After you are sure you have softened the glue completely, you need to gently grasp one end of the lash band and slowly remove it from your eyelid. If you are removing individual eyelashes, you will be wise to utilize a pair of tweezers.
You may also want to try using petroleum jelly. This typically works to loosen the lashes, allowing them to be taken off by applying warm water. There are many people who simply use soap and water. Other people state that olive oil will help to loosen the glue.
You can easily reuse your fake eyelashes if you clean them each time and keep them in a sterile environment. After you clean them in soap and water, store your fake eyelashes in an eye cleaning solution. But, to be completely safe, you should also clean your lashes before you reapply them.
