few times. October 31, 2022
If you tend to toss your falsies after a long day’s wear, we’re here to put a stop to that because you can actually reuse them. Once you know how to properly clean your false eyelashes, you can wear them upwards of 20 times depending on what type of lash they are. Read on as we share the 411 on how to clean and reuse false eyelashes. How Many Times Can You Reuse False Eyelashes?Cleaning your false eyelashes is worth the effort because you can re-wear them. As for how many times you'll be able to glue and unglue your eyelashes, it comes down to the type of lashes you’re using. False eyelashes made out of synthetic material can be reused up to five times. On the flip side, if you’re working with mink or silk eyelashes, those are a bit more durable and can be reused up to 20 times. As long as you handle your lashes with the right care, you’ll be able to wear your falsies with many beauty looks, making them a budget-friendly investment. If you’re wondering how to make your fake eyelashes look new again, it’s time to listen up. Cleaning your false lashes is a great way to extend their shelf-life and we promise you won’t ruin them. Check out our step-by-step routine to help you learn how to clean false eyelashes like a pro. 1. Remove the Leftover Eyelash GlueWith clean hands, you’ll want to begin by removing any glue from the base of your false eyelashes. The easiest way to remove glue is by using tweezers to gently lift the adhesive from the band. If there’s stubborn lash glue that won’t come off, you can use an oil-based eye makeup remover to break it down, just like you would to remove eye makeup. 2. Clean Your False Eyelashes With Micellar WaterOnce all of the eyelash glue is removed, it’s time to really clean your falsies. This step will remove any makeup and impurities that are on the lashes — it’s especially important if you blend your false eyelashes with mascara. Place your false eyelashes on a paper towel, then saturate a cotton swab with the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof – All Skin Types. Gently wipe the band and the fibers of the false lashes to remove any leftover mascara, dirt and excess oils. Repeat this process until the lashes are completely clean. Editor’s tip: If you have mink eyelashes, you should skip this step because eye makeup remover can potentially ruin the shape and curl of the lashes. Instead, you’ll want to clean your mink lashes with water. Use a cotton swab dipped in water to wipe the lashes clean — avoid submerging them in water because this can also damage them. 3. Dampen the LashesThink of this step as an extra precaution to ensure that your false eyelashes are fully clean. Get a small bowl of warm water, dip another cotton swab in the water and wipe from the base of your lashes to the ends. Once all the lash glue, makeup and mascara is gone, leave your falsies on the paper towel to air dry. 4. Mist Them With AlcoholFake eyelashes can be a breeding ground for bacteria so once they’ve fully air-dried, you’ll want to disinfect them. Lightly mist your lashes with rubbing alcohol, no need to saturate them. Then, lay them flat to dry on a clean paper towel. 5. Store Your Lashes ProperlyAfter the alcohol has dried, (this will take about an hour) it’s time to store your lashes. Simply place your false eyelashes back in the packaging they came in and keep them in their original position to help maintain their shape. Once you’re ready to reuse the lashes, they’ll be good as new.

It’s actually pretty easy to rid your false lashes of mascara clumps and glue residue, leaving them looking as pristine as the day you bought them. According to Tymia Yvette, professional makeup and lash artist, a single pair of false eyelashes can be good for multiple uses. “You can reuse strip lashes two or three times,” Yvette says. Just make sure they’re still in good condition. Knowing how to clean false lashes without ruining them can extend the life of your falsies and save you some cash. Here are some tips from the pros on keeping your doe-eyes healthy. No one loves touching their eyes, but removing false lashes with tweezers, picking at them with your nails, or clamping and yanking with an eyelash curler can seriously damage them — not to mention your, you know, eyes. Here’s the best way to peel off your false lashes:
Knowing how to clean lashes can help you hang on to that flutter. Most of us apply a coat or two of mascara over our synthetic lashes because, hey, anything worth doing is worth doing extra. But product buildup can lead to creased, broken, and gunky-looking fake lashes, not to mention opening up the possibility of getting an eye infection the next time you wear them. However, you’ve probably got all the products you need in your medicine cabinet to clean fake eyelashes. Here’s how to clean synthetic false lashes (not mink or other natural lashes!):
Investing in a spray bottle for your cleanser can help make cleaning a cinch, according to Noël Jacoboni, a pro makeup artist in New York City. “I would suggest placing the lashes on a clean, dry tissue and spraying with alcohol,” Jacoboni says. “Granted, this doesn’t work for all types of lashes but has a great return rate for me. This is mostly for synthetic fiber lashes and not natural fiber lashes. Make sure you know the difference!” Another way to clean mascara from synthetic false eyelashes is to soak cotton pads in alcohol or eye makeup remover and lightly press lash strips between pads to dissolve eye makeup. When the pads come away clean, finish washing your lashes by pressing them between two cotton pads soaked in warm water. Mink, and other natural fiber lashes, generally don’t need any additional mascara. If you’d like to wear mascara with them, use it only on your real eyelashes before applying your mink lashes. When you’re finished wearing them, gently remove the glue with tweezers. Water and cleaning products will cause them to lose their shape. If there’s something you can’t remove easily, dab a bit of water on a swab and roll it gently over the lashes. Don’t be tempted to soak them. When you buy a great new set of fake eyelashes, don’t toss the box. Instead, use it to store and shape your lashes until the next time you need them. And remember, a used set of lashes is for your personal stash only. “Never bring a used pair of lashes to a professional or makeup counter to have them applied,” Jacoboni says. “Reuse is for personal application only. There’s a risk of spreading eye infections to the professional — I never allow my clients to bring me used lashes for application. They need to buy a new pair every time.” While it may feel a little silly to stand over your bathroom counter diligently swabbing a set of eyelashes, knowing how to clean your falsies means that not only will they last longer, but the next time you wear them, it’ll be a lot easier to place the lash naturally on top of your real lash line without a bunch of gummy buildup. There’s really nothing worse than having someone point out the fuzz in your eyelashes, only to have to explain that, no, it’s eyelash glue, not some kind of weird eye dandruff. Don’t try to use your synthetic lashes forever, though. A couple of uses are all they’re good for (and your noninfected eyes will thank you). Keep your eye doodads clean and safe and continue looking bomb as hell with confidence. Emily Alford lives in Brooklyn, NY, and writes about beauty, food, and TV. Sometimes all at once.
