Eyelash extensions can add a dramatic flair to your look, but removing the eyelash glue can sometimes be a tricky process. This blog post will guide you through various methods to loosen eyelash glue effectively and safely.
Oil-based eye makeup removers are usually most effective in breaking down lash adhesive. However, if you plan to reuse your lashes, it’s best to choose an oil-free formula.
Dip a cotton swab in eye makeup remover. Saturate the cotton, but make sure that it’s not dripping.
Gently run the swab along the seam where the false lashes rest against your eyelid. This will allow it to seep between the two and loosen the glue.
Let the remover sit on the lash band for 1 to 3 minutes to ensure that the adhesive starts to lose its tackiness.
When you can feel that the false lashes are starting to move easily, lay your finger flat against your eyelid. Pull up and out slightly to reduce any slack on the skin.
Even after you take off the false lashes, there may still be some glue residue on your eyelid and the false lash band. Rub another swab along your lashes and the lash band again to loosen any remaining glue.
You can use coconut, baby, or olive oil to break down eyelash glue.
Dab a cotton ball with the oil of your choice and press it to the lash band. Hold it for a few minutes to allow the oil to reach the glue and start to dissolve it.
Once the glue has been loosened, you should be able to use your fingers to peel off the remaining glue.

Q: Can I use petroleum jelly to remove eyelash glue? A: Yes, petroleum jelly can help to break down and remove eyelash glue.

Whether you prefer to use eye makeup remover, your favorite oil, or even household items like soap and water, you can easily get rid of lash glue in a matter of minutes. Always remember to be gentle with your eyes and lashes to avoid any irritation or damage.
Happy lash removal!
