False Lashes

Start by measuring the false lash strip against your eye and trim any excess from the outer edge. Apply a thin layer of lash glue to the band and wait 30–60 seconds until it becomes tacky (this is the most important step — applying while wet causes lashes to slide). Using tweezers or a lash applicator, position the band as close to your natural lash line as possible, starting from the centre, then securing the inner and outer corners. Press gently and allow to set completely.

Strip false lashes applied with a quality latex-free lash adhesive typically stay in place comfortably for 8–12 hours — perfect for a full wedding day, Eid celebration, or evening event. Individual lash clusters applied with a strong bond can last 3–5 days if properly applied and not rubbed aggressively during makeup removal. Reusable strip lashes can be cleaned and used 10–15 times with proper care.

Never pull false lashes off dry — this damages natural lashes. Soak a cotton pad with micellar water or oil-based makeup remover and press gently over the lash band for 20–30 seconds to dissolve the adhesive. Gently slide the strip off from the outer edge inward. Avoid tugging. Clean remaining adhesive from both the false lash band and your eyelid before re-applying.

Yes — look for latex-free false lash adhesive if you have latex sensitivity, and hypoallergenic strip lashes if you have generally sensitive eyes. Contact lens wearers should insert their contacts before applying false lashes and apply lash glue carefully, away from the inner corner of the eye. Remove contact lenses before removing false lashes to avoid adhesive contact with lenses.
