For Beginners! False Lashes 101 Do's and Don'ts

To apply your lashes after trimming the edges, apply a thin layer of DUO Lash Adhesive across the lash band. Wait 10-15 seconds for the glue to become tacky and carefully line the lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible. Tweezers can help precisely place the fake eye lashes. If they look uneven after applying them you can adjust them quickly before the glue dries. Finish by applying mascara to help the false lashes and your natural lashes to stay together.

When it comes to removal, use an oil-free eye makeup remover to soften the glue and then allow the lash to slide right off. Easy, right?

You might not know this, but—yes!—false eyelashes can be reusable. Make sure not to use any oil-based cleansers on the lash, as that will make additional uses very difficult (adhesive does not like to attach to an oily surface). Peel any remaining pieces of glue off the lash and use eye makeup remover and a Q-tip to clean it more thoroughly. Store your lashes in a clean plastic container and they’ll be ready for your next big night out!
