If you take care of your real and fake eyelashes and remove them gently, you can reuse the falsies several times! When you apply your false eyelashes, make sure that you apply a thin strip of the adhesive and place them just above your lash line, not physically ON your lashes, because you don?t want to pull or damage any of your real lashes when you remove the lashes. Save the tray the false eyelashes came in to store them, because provided that you properly cleanse them and take care of them, you can reuse false eyelashes several times. I would absolutely recommend that you remove the eyelashes every night to prevent irritation or infection to your eyes and protect your real lashes. Also this will preserve your false eyelashes so you can use them again. Removing false eyelashes is quite simple: DO not yank pull of your eyelashes without loosening the glue first. This can and will damage your real lashes. Be gentle! Use a cotton ball to dab false eyelash remover(you can also use baby oil or regular eye makeup remover, both work fine) on your lash line to dissolve the glue. When you notice that the glue is dissolve and the eyelashes are loosened, gently pull the false eyelashes from the outer corner. Use baby oil or eye makeup remover to cleanse & remove traces of the adhesive and eye makeup from your eyes. Follow these tips to cleanse the fake eyelashes so you can reuse them:After you have carefully removed the false eyelashes, wash them gently with a little bit of warm water and a tiny bit of facial soap to clean them and take off the glue on the band. If you don?t want them to get them wet, you can use eye makeup remover and a q-tip to remove the glue from the lashes. Dry the lashes gently and store them back in the tray they came in. Hope this helps! FYI : There are several fake eyelash adhesives on the market depending on desired results. Some dry clear, some dry dark or brown(to blend better with eyeliner), some are waterproof(which I would ONLY recommend if you are going to be very active or want to swim with them on ? although swimming with them on might not be a good idea). A brand I like is DUO. It?s inexpensive and you can find it anywhere. A lot of industry professionals that I know like this adhesive, because it is gentle, does not hurt your real lashes or eyes, and it?s easy to remove.
