Remove your false lashes. Do not toss them.

You can still use synthetic lashes with proper care.

Drugstore Cleaning & Storage Guide

Step 1 - Use a small, sterilized tweezer to clean glue from the band. While smaller prongs may lift glue more accurately, they won't be able to remove false lashes.

Second step: Use an oil-free make-up remover on a cotton swab. This will remove any dirt, glue, or mascara.

Tip - Curl your natural eyelashes before applying false lashes To reduce clumpiness, use mascara to seal mascara.

Step 2 Let your eyelashes soak for 5-10 minutes

Step 4 - Dry your eyelashes with a microfiber towel overnight. Step 4 - Brush your lashes with a brush in the morning.

High-End Storage & Cleaning Guide:

Step 1 - Use a small, sterilized tweezer to clean glue from the band. While smaller prongs may lift glue more accurately, they won't be able to remove false lashes.

Step 2 - Apply an oil-free mascara remover to mascara-covered lashes with a cotton swab. Don't submerge in water.

Avoid mascara for high-end lashes. Mascara oils and waxes can cause lash fall by breaking the bond between the hairs and the lash band.

Step 3 - Keep your lashes in their original case With a pair of tweezers, you can lift the lash band and loosen the corners.
