Fake lashes are a great way to enhance your eyes and create a glamorous look. Whether you use strip lashes or individual lashes, you need to remove them properly to avoid damaging your natural lashes and the delicate skin around your eyes. In this blog post, I will show you two easy and safe methods to take off fake lashes: using glue remover or using steam and oil. I will also answer some frequently asked questions about fake lashes and their removal.
This method is suitable for both strip lashes and individual lashes. You will need a false lash glue remover, a cotton swab, a cotton pad, and a makeup remover.
Before you use the glue remover, you should take off your eye makeup with a makeup remover or baby oil. This will make it easier to see the lash line and remove the glue. Put some makeup remover or baby oil on a cotton pad and gently wipe your eyelid until most of the makeup is gone. Do not rub your eyes or pull your lashes.
Get a false lash glue remover from a beauty store or online. Choose a brand that is compatible with the glue you used and that does not irritate your skin. Always check the ingredients and do a patch test before using it. Put a small amount of the glue remover on a cotton swab and gently dab it along your lash line. Wait for 20 to 30 seconds to let the glue dissolve.
If you are using strip lashes, use your fingers or tweezers to gently peel them off from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Hold your eyelid to keep it from stretching and pull the lashes upwards. If you feel any resistance, apply more glue remover and wait a bit longer. Do not yank or tug the lashes.
If you are using individual lashes, use your fingers or tweezers to gently pull each lash out from the base. Start from the outer corner of your eye and work your way inwards. Be careful not to pull your natural lashes.
After you have removed all the false lashes, use a cotton pad soaked in makeup remover or baby oil to wipe away any remaining glue or makeup from your eyelids and lashes. Be gentle and thorough. Rinse your eyes with water and pat them dry.
This method is more natural and gentle than using glue remover. It is especially good for individual lashes. You will need a large bowl, hot water, a towel, and an oil of your choice (such as coconut, olive, or almond oil).
Wash your face with a mild cleanser and water to remove any dirt and makeup. Pull your hair back and use a headband or towel wrap to keep it out of your way.
Boil some water in a kettle or a pot and pour it into a large glass or metal bowl. Be careful not to burn yourself. Place the bowl on a table or a counter and sit in front of it. Cover your head with a towel and lean over the bowl, keeping your face about 12 inches away from the water. Let the steam rise up to your face and loosen the glue for 10 to 15 minutes. If your face gets too hot, move it further away from the bowl.
Use your fingers or tweezers to gently pull off the false lashes, starting from the outer corner of your eye to the inner corner. The steam and oil should have softened the glue, making the lashes easy to remove. If you feel any pain or difficulty, steam your face for another few minutes and try again.
After you have removed all the false lashes, use a cotton pad soaked in oil to wipe away any remaining glue or makeup from your eyelids and lashes. Rinse your eyes with water and pat them dry.
