I would love some advice on good, easy, cheap ways to clean fake lashes. I hate trying to peel leftover adhesive away because I'm always worried I'll ruin them in the process. Advice or tricks anyone?
take some alcohol on a q-tip and gently remove the strip of glue, and take a spoolee and gently comb through the hairs to remove excess mascara, that's what i do to use them over and over:)
*attached is a picture of one of the last looks that i did using fake eyelashes that i've had for over a year!! i've been using my technique of cleaning them and keeping them looking brand new!
i hope this helps love!! xo ;*
I usually soak my fake eyelashes in water and a dab of hand soap for 30 mins. From there you can peel off the adhesive glue. Cheap lashes will not stay on the band so remember to remove your lashes within 15-30 mins. I hope this help....
I would put my makeup remover on top of the glue, let that soak for a little bit, take it out and get excess remover off, then take some tweezers or sometimes just my fingers and pull the glue off.
Depends on what kind of lashes... If they're knotted on a strip, I use cinema secrets brush cleaner, I pour it in a dish and let them soak for about 5 minutes. Beware though, it will melt cheapie lashes like E.L.F.
