How to remove eyelash glue? This is a very common question among women, because almost no one talks about tricks for removing false hair. However, it is important not to pull forcibly, as this can cause injury or pull out your natural lashes.
What’s more: the glue can stick to the skin, and if it is pulled, it can hurt the eyelid, resulting in inflammation and pain in the eyes. So, when you get home, read these valuable guidelines and avoid suffering.
Also, don’t throw your eyelashes in the trash, as these used accessories can be reused in your next makeup look. Of course, after being sanitized and stored properly. Furthermore, always remove your makeup before going to bed, especially if you have false eyelashes on.
5 tips for removing eyelash glue
1- Eye makeup remover
First of all, two-phase makeup remover or micellar water are the best-known makeup removers in the female world. Therefore, use a cotton pad and leave it on top of your closed eye for a few seconds.
Then, wet another cotton pad and repeat the process until the lashes come loose automatically or can be easily pulled out.
2- Toothbrush and tweezers – remove eyelash glue
If you don’t have makeup remover, let’s improvise. To remove eyelash glue, take an old toothbrush (very clean) and tweezers. Then, dip the brush in hot water and use baby shampoo on the bristles, then hold the eyelashes with your fingers and rub the strands until all the glue is removed.
Finally, the tweezers can be used to remove the remaining glue that remains stuck. Even so, be careful when pulling, if necessary, use the brush again.
3- Baby shampoo and water
Overall, this is the easiest way to get eyelash glue off faster. This trick can be used after removing the false threads from your eyes. So, heat some water, not too hot.
Place it in a container and then add baby or neutral shampoo. Then mix well and let your eyelashes soak for 10 minutes. After that, rub with your fingertips until all the dirt drops into the water. If necessary, remove any remaining glue with tweezers or apply makeup remover with a cotton swab.
4- Removal with natural oil
In short, dip the cotton in natural oil, whether coconut, almond, extra virgin olive oil or baby oil. Namely, don’t leave the cotton dripping, so don’t overdo it. In this sense, leave the cotton with the oil pressed on the eyes for about 3 minutes or until the glue comes off.
If your eyes are more sensitive, this method may work better than makeup remover. Even more so, because it has a moisturizing effect and removes glue more easily. However, if you are going to reuse your eyelashes, this tip is not the most recommended, as the oil can make the lashes slippery.
5- Remove eyelash glue with water steam
First, place around 700 to 950ml of hot water in a heat-resistant bowl or dish. Although, a vaporizer also works.
Meanwhile, cover your head with a towel and place your face over the bowl, as the cloth will not let the steam escape. This way, the moisture will loosen the false eyelashes. On the other hand, be careful to keep a distance of 45 cm from the water, as putting your face too close can cause burns.
In the meantime, steam for about three to five minutes. After that, pull the eyelashes from the outer corner and clean them for reuse.
Above all, remember to always remove your eyelashes from the outside corner, that is, from the outside corner to the inside. So, pull gently until it comes out completely. Finish with new cotton to remove the last residue. Lastly, wash your face and finish with a facial moisturizer.
