Girls, today I’ll deal with the most pissing me off myth about false eyelashes. The gadgets are widely-available and amazingly define every makeup yet we still know little about using them the right way.

I started wearing false lashes a few years ago. I used to think that a good mascara is enough. Since I first put on fake eyelashes, I have been applying them before every big night out. At the beginning of my makeup adventure, I thought that false eyelashes were single-use. That’s why I would buy the cheapest ones because I didn’t want to spend too much money. Many times I had to spend a lot of time cutting them and adjusting to my natural lashes and then… threw them out. Summing up:

Are False Eyelashes Single-Use? NO!

I bet you wonder how it is possible to reuse lashes that have mascara and glue buildup, and bend in all directions. If we pay lots of money for a set of false lashes, we should learn how to keep them clean. Even though it takes time – you clean them every time you take them off – it’s worthwhile. Especially, when you pay for the lashes more than for a pair of leather shoes. I believe in caring for expensive things. Here comes a question, though…

How to Clean False Eyelashes? NOTHING EASIER!

After many trials, I found the simplest way and will share it with you. You will save time you would have to spend soaking lashes and combing impurities out. My method is easier – you should try it out!

1. Use tweezers to take the adhesive leftovers off the strips.
2. Soak two cotton pads in makeup remover.
3. Place your false lashes between the pads.
4. Gently press the lashes and leave them this way for up to 2 minutes.
5. Take the pads off (the mascara should stay on them).
6. Place the lashes on a clean pad. Soak a cotton swab in the remover.
7. Remove the remaining mascara and dirt with the swab.
8. You can comb out the lashes with a clean (scalded) mascara wand.

Store false eyelashes in the original packaging to keep their shape!
