Use tweezers or lash applicators to apply your false eyelashes

If you can, avoid applying false eyelashes with your fingers, as this can lead to some of the lashes falling out of the strip, and you’ll have to replace the lashes.

Instead, try applying your false eyelashes using lash applicators or tweezers. Grip them right in the middle, then gently apply them to your eyelids. Once they’re on, carefully press down with your fingers on the edges of each false eyelash to bond it to your eyelid.

Clean your false eyelashes after every use

Regularly cleaning your false eyelashes (ideally after every use) will keep them clean from bacteria, general dirt build up and will help maintain their general condition.

Firstly, soak a cotton swab in an oil-based makeup remover (like this one), and run the bud along the lash line to remove the glue. Once the glue residue has been removed from your lashes, it’s time to give them a good clean. 

Place your false eyelashes on a paper towel, then saturate a cotton pad with your oil-based makeup remover cleanser and gently wipe the base of your lashes. This will remove leftover mascara, oils and dirt for a thorough cleansing. For more information on how to thoroughly clean your false lashes, take a look at this blog

After cleaning your lashes, we also recommend brushing them with a spoolie brush to help to keep your lashes separated and fluffy! 


Avoid using mascara on top of your lashes 

Just like lash adhesive, heavy mascara can build up on your false eyelashes over time, making them overly thick and damaging the shape and quality of your lashes. 

Even if you clean them after each use, the more intense clean up process will add additional wear to the lash hairs. 

Can You Leave False Lashes On Overnight?

Although it’s very tempting to go straight to bed without touching the makeup remover, sleeping in your false eyelashes is never a good idea. This is because you might risk damaging your natural eyelashes or worse, losing them. There is also the risk of eye infections, a build-up of dirt and germs in the false eyelash set, and damage to the lash set itself because they can get squished and ripped. 

How To Store False Eyelashes 

The best place to leave false eyelashes overnight is in a safe storage box, for example their original packaging. Storing them in their original packaging will not only keep them safe but will also help to maintain their natural curved shape. You can also purchase special false eyelash boxes to keep several pairs of lashes together and protected, like this one from Eylure

We also recommend taking your eyelash case in your bag when going out in case you need or want to remove lashes while you’re out (e.g. on a night out or at a sleepover). Chucking your lashes into your bag with no protection will most likely result in them getting damaged or lost.

Is it OK to wear fake lashes everyday?

False eyelashes made of synthetic materials aren't breathable, so your lashes will, more likely than not, become dry. Over time, the elements will chip off, and your lashes will appear dull. In some cases, you may experience an infection or develop a rash around your lash line due to wearing false eyelashes every day.
