• Firstly, use tweezers to carefully pull off any visible dried glue. [Make sure to only pull with the tweezers, pulling at the lashes can cause them to tear]

• Soak a cotton pad in makeup remover and place each lash on it and now top the lash with another cotton pad.

• Press the 2 cotton pads together for 30 seconds to soak up any dirt or remaining glue.

• Soak a Q-tip in makeup remover and wipe away any makeup residue.

• Repeat the same process with other eyelash.

By keeping them nice and clean, you’ll get more uses out of them in the long run and keep your eyes safe and bacteria-free.
