What brand did you use and what is the specific glue called? Have you tried looking for "'product name' removal"? I'm so sorry this is happening to you, but I think people might be able to help you more if we know which one it is!

Try not to scrub! Vaseline (aka petroleum jelly) or coconut oil will remove the most stubborn lash glue. Just slap a thick layer on and cover it with a warm wet wash cloth for a few minutes. The steam from the wash cloth will help the glue break down!

Oh man I’ve done that before. I usually let it dry and then pick off what I can when it’s gummy. you can try a q-tip dipped in a little bit of olive oil and gently rub along your lash line to loosen it up and then pick off the clumps. All of it may not come off right away and may gradually migrate and clump up in the corner of your eye, but then just pick it out.

take a hot shower

Dip them in oil and leave it for 5 minutes after that use twizer to remove that glue

Try coconut oil

Hi on a side note can you recommend some lashes that look an enhanced version of natural and can be worn to work on a regular basis. I am pretty much clueless regarding this.

Micellar water/makeup remover - use a little dish to drop em in for a few minutes, then rub the band gently with a fingertip or cotton bud. Rinse.

Oil based cleansers (even Pond's cold cream) is an option, you could use one of those just on the band and then rinse. But actual oil will take soap and rubbing to fully remove after, and might damage the lashes. If there's any oily residue glue won't apply well the next time you try and use them 🤔

I like to massage cleansing oil right on to my lashes, really well, then wipe off with a steamy-hot washcloth. Anything that really sticks around, I "coax" out of my lashes with a clean spoolie, doesn't pull out your lashes as long as the glue is soft, and not built up (I do this every night).

If you want to use an oil, use castor oil! My eye doctor recommended that as an eye makeup remover. It is the most safe for your eyes

thank you! i always seem to still have clumps on after wearing them

thank you!

An oil-based makeup remover or even just straight oil (I like squalane or argan, but whatever you have should work, even baby oil or olive oil) loosens glue well for me. Just dab a little on and gently rub until the glue sluffs off. Then follow with your normal cleanser.

Do you have access to a makeup remover or cleanser from a drugstore? Put some on a paper towel and pinch your lashes and do a little rub but don’t pull, just dissolve a little glue layer by layer. Hope this helps!

When I don’t have makeup remover or coconut oil, I’ll go for lotion. It softens it up and isn’t overly irritating. Good luck lady!

I use the neutrogena oil free eye makeup remover I struggled with the same problem this works like a charm and it’s really cheap

Try Kiss lash adhesive, it works better for me and its easy to remove. I use qtip that i dip in makeup remover and just gently rub it on the lash band until it melts off the glue. Lashes should slowly fall off your lids.

An oil based makeup remover or a bit of olive oil, coconut oil, etc on a q-tip should do the trick!

Did you use the glue specified by the lash brand? Not all of them have recommendations, but if they're expensive I assume they have a preferred bonder.

If not, maybe try searching the glue product online, and see if they have some sort of unique solvent needed.

Finally, if you're hitting a dead end, keep using gentle removers and cleansers. What type of material are the eyelashes made of? In the past I've had luck with soaking in witch hazel and using tweezers to help peel residue off.

Also, when they're damp, be sure to lay them out to dry in a position that will help them continue to maintain their shape! <3

There's a eye lash glue remover (ardell duo lash) at cvs or walgreens.. It's a small container for a few bucks. I dip a qtip in it, rub it over my lashes and it comes off so quick.

I soak mine in warm water for a few minutes and the glue comes off super easy, along with all the mascara on the actual lashes.

I use alcohol on a cotton pad and it works wonders

Tear it directly. Lol

I use anything that works like an oil. Liquid that has a two layer liquid that you have to shake or something that is designed to melt makeup like the Clinique take off the day balm.

A make-up removing towel (not a wipe but those special towels are amazing), make-up removing soap, and patience. I scrub like you would polish silver, very gently. The skin around your eye is delicate, and you don't want to irritate it or cause wrinkles.

I use the oily micellar water

carefully tearing it off with tweezers is kinda relaxing

I feel your pain! I actually wear strips every day because I hate my natural lashes, so I deal with this a lot. I’ve used a few eye specific makeup removers that have worked well in the past, but most of the time if I get warm water on a makeup eraser towel and kind of soak/hold it on my eye for 2 minutes or so, it kinda of loosens it up so I can gently rub or peel it off. I usually do one eye at a time while I watch TV. Interested to see if there are any other suggestions that come through!

You have to use oil!

If you have an oil-based makeup remover or lash remover that will work, but so will plain old coconut oil. 

Works super fast, within 2 minutes!

I have the same issue 😭😩 gonna follow this thread and hope that we get an answer♥️

Try baby oil, then gently tweeze the clump until it separates from itself and your hair!

Use baby oil or coconut oil. Put on glue and let soak for about 10 mins

Olive oil

If it’s a studio go back there now and someone can do it for you.

This is unbelievable! I'd never return.
