Do I need help to apply false lashes?

No, no helper or technician is needed to apply false lashes. They are a little bit tricky but easy to apply.  They can be applied simply with fingers without any tool assistance. You would just need some practice to handle them, after a few applications, you can master the art.

How are false lashes applied?

False lashes are applied using glue specially made for lashes that is safe for the skin. A thin layer of glue is applied to the lash band. When the glue gets tacky the strip is placed on the skin as close as possible to the lash line. As soon as the glue dries lashes are firmly stuck to the skin.

How false lashes are removed?

False lashes are easy to remove. Apply any makeup remover (preferably oil-based) to a cotton swab. Gently wipe it over the lash line. In a few seconds, when you feel glue bonds are broken. Hold the outer corner of the lash strip in the index finger and thumb and slowly start peeling, without using force go all the way through the lash line and remove the whole strip. Avoid tugging or pulling, it can ruin lashes and you will not be able to reuse them.

How long fake lashes can last on the eyes?

Nowadays false lashes are claimed to be made to stay for up to 12 hours once applied. Having them on for more than 12 hours is strongly discouraged. One safer side is, to remove them as soon as they have served the purpose.

The lasting time can vary depending on several factors.

Lash glue: low-grade glues are not reliable they don't provide a stronghold and lashes can be off any time after application.

Wrong application method: If the lashes are not applied properly they will not stay for long on the eyes.

Lash band: inflexible, cheap lash bands don’t give a good hold so they may cause a problem.

Can I achieve a natural fake lash look/no extra drama?

Yes, false lashes are not just drama and glamour creators. You can achieve the most natural looks with a pair of the natural fake lash. There are specific lash patterns, lengths, volumes, and curls for every eye shape. For natural-looking goals, choose a lash suitable to your eye shape and size, trim it properly, and apply the right way.

Many lash brands provide customization facilities to achieve your desired results, you can customize your favorite natural-looking style easily.

Is there a glue-free alternative to fake lashes?

Yes, of course, there are magnetic lashes that need no glue to stick on. They have tiny magnets attached to lash bands. They work by sandwiching natural lashes between two false lashes with magnetic strips.

The second option is, applying them with magnetic eyeliner. The magnetic liner is applied close to the lash line and the magnetic lash strip is placed over it. Magnetic lashes are easy to apply and are reusable.

Can I sleep wearing them?

No, false lashes are not made to be worn while sleeping. Lash experts and dermatologists recommended wearing false lashes for up to 12 hours and removed before bed. Sleeping with lashes on cannot only harm your eyes, but it can also destroy your lashes. They can irritate the eyes.

Can I apply mascara to fake lashes?

As per recommendation mascara is applied before false lash application. It helps in blending natural and false lashes. Layering mascara after lash application can cause different problems;

  •         The lashes will look clumpy and it will be hard to achieve the desired lash look.
  •         Removing mascara from lashes will be difficult. It can damage lashes and re-wear will not be possible.

Are fake lashes reusable?

Most of the false lashes are reusable. Generally, they can be worn up to 10 times.  If used, cleaned, and stored carefully, even a low-quality lash can be used several times.

However, there are many lashes labeled as disposable so always check the label and read brand claims for reusability.

Can I take shower wearing false eyelashes?

Not recommended. Staying for long underwater will loosen the glue bond and they may fall off after a shower. Some brands are offering waterproof glues but waterproof products are not good for false lashes as they are hard to remove. Product removal procedures can seriously damage the lashes. It's better not to get them wet unnecessarily.

Can crying/tears make them fall?

It’s a little tricky question. Generally speaking, the glues we use nowadays are quite strong and can hold lashes even if you cry. However, if you rub your eyes it’ll weaken the glue strength and lashes may loosen and eventually fall off.

During lash application water eyes can cause the problem, the tears will prevent the glue from drying and lashes will not stick properly.  If eyes are watery, wipe them off and wait until they get dry then apply fake lashes.

Are false strip lashes semi-permanent?

No, they are a temporary lash-enhancing option. Strip lashes are designed to be worn for a few hours. It’s mandatory to take them off after a certain period. However, lash extensions are a semi-permanent option that can last for a few weeks but they need professional assistance for application.
