Hey girl! Let’s talk about something we all love—fake lashes—and the not-so-fun part: taking them off. It’s so tempting to rip them off after a long day, but trust me, your natural lashes are begging you not to! Removing your falsies the right way will keep your real lashes healthy and intact. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with these simple steps to safely remove your fake lashes without any drama.
Step 1: Don’t Pull—Seriously, Don’t
I know it’s tempting, but let me say it loud and clear: don’t pull your lashes off! Forcefully yanking them off might feel fast, but it can damage your natural lashes or even pull them out. Nobody wants gaps in their lash line, right?
Instead, take a deep breath and commit to removing them gently. Your real lashes are worth the extra care, and you’ll thank yourself later when they’re still looking lush and healthy.
Step 2: Use Oil-Free Makeup Remover
The easiest and safest way to remove fake lashes is with a gentle, oil-free makeup remover. Oil-based products can break down lash glue, but they often leave residue that irritates your eyes or damages your lashes.
Here’s how to do it the right way:
Soak a cotton pad in oil-free makeup remover.
Press the pad gently against your lash line, focusing on where the glue is.
Hold it there for a few seconds to let the remover dissolve the adhesive.
Slowly swipe downward to loosen the lashes.
If the lashes don’t come off easily, repeat the process. Trust me, patience is your best friend here.
Step 3: Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Sometimes fake lashes are stubborn, and that’s okay. If they don’t budge after your first try, don’t force it. Soak another cotton pad, hold it over your lashes for a bit longer, and try again.
The key is to take your time. The gentler you are, the less stress you’ll put on your natural lashes. Slow and steady ensures you remove the falsies without causing damage.
Step 4: Try the Hot Towel Trick
No makeup remover? No problem! A warm towel can work wonders to loosen the glue. Here’s what to do:
Wet a hand towel with hot (but not too hot) water.
Hold the towel over your eyes for 30–60 seconds.
Gently peel off the lashes once the glue has softened.
This method is a lifesaver when you’re out of remover, and it feels super relaxing too!
Step 5: Pamper Your Real Lashes
After removing your falsies, show your real lashes some love. Even if you’re super gentle, fake lashes can still stress your natural ones, so a little TLC goes a long way.
Here’s how to care for your lashes:
Use a lash serum: Apply it along your lash line before bed to keep your lashes strong and promote growth.
Try castor oil: Use a clean mascara wand to coat your lashes with castor oil. It hydrates and protects them, leaving them soft and healthy.
Pampering your natural lashes ensures they stay lush and ready for your next boudoir shoot or glam night out.
Bonus Tip: Reuse Your Fake Lashes
Don’t toss those lashes just yet! If they’re still in good shape, you can reuse them. Here’s how to clean and store them:
Peel off any leftover glue from the lash band.
Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean off mascara or makeup.
Let them dry completely before storing them in their original case.
With proper care, your falsies can last for multiple uses, saving you time and money.
