Expert Tips: How to Remove Adhesive Eyelashes Without Damaging Your Natural Lashes
Expert Tips: How to Remove Adhesive Eyelashes Without Damaging Your Natural Lashes
We love a good lash moment — but taking them off can be where the drama really starts.
If you’ve ever ripped off a lash strip after a long night (guilty!), you already know how delicate your natural lashes are. Removing adhesive lashes the wrong way can lead to lash loss, irritation, or breakage.
The good news? Removing adhesive eyelashes safely is totally doable with the right products and techniques — and we’re here to show you how.
Know Your Lash Type: Strip vs Cluster
Before we get into the steps, it’s key to understand what kind of lashes you're removing.
-
Strip lashes: A full lash band applied above the lash line
-
Individual cluster lashes: Smaller sections applied closer to the lash base — often under the lashes using bond & seal formulas

What NOT to Do When Removing Adhesive Lashes
Let’s get this out of the way:
🚫 Don’t tug or peel your lashes off
🚫 Don’t use oil on bond/seal lashes
🚫 Don’t skip aftercare
These habits can pull out natural lashes, cause lash thinning, or irritate the sensitive eye area.
How to Remove Adhesive Eyelashes (The Right Way)
Here’s your step-by-step lash-safe removal routine:
✅ Step 1: Loosen the Adhesive
For strip lashes, soak a cotton pad in micellar water or an oil-free lash remover and gently press over your eye for 30–60 seconds.
For cluster lashes with bond & seal:
Use a remover specially designed for lashes for extensions — like a bond-breaking gel or liquid that’s oil-free.
✅ Step 2: Gently Remove the Lashes
Use precision tweezers (the best ones are anti-static and fine-pointed) to slowly lift the lash from the outer corner inward. No yanking!

✅ Step 3: Clean the Lash Line
Wipe away any remaining adhesive using a lint-free pad and gentle cleanser.
✅ Step 4: Clean and Store Reusable Lashes
If you're using cruelty-free lashes like ours, clean them gently and store them properly for your next glam session.
Post-Removal Lash TLC (Tender Loving Care)
Keep your natural lashes happy and healthy with some post-removal love:
💧 Use a lash serum to strengthen and condition
🧴 Avoid waterproof makeup or harsh cleansers for a few days
🧘♀️ Let your lashes breathe before reapplying
For those who love a lash daily (we see you!), rotate between lightweight vegan false lashes and cluster styles to reduce stress on your natural lash line.
