How to Remove Eyelash Glue from Eyelashes Without Ruining Them

How to Remove Eyelash Glue from Eyelashes (Step-by-Step)

To remove eyelash glue from eyelashes without damaging them, use a dedicated lash glue remover or oil-based wipe to soften the glue. Gently peel away residue with tweezers or fingers, avoiding harsh tugging. Follow up with a cleanse to preserve lash quality and comfort.

1. Wash your hands. Always begin with clean hands to avoid introducing bacteria to your eye area.
2. Soften the glue. Use a lash glue remover like KentDO Glue Remover Wipes or a warm compress.
3. Gently wipe the lash band. Focus on the glue line only. Avoid scrubbing the lash fibers.
4. Use tweezers or your fingertips to gently lift glue remnants from the band. Work slowly and patiently.
5. Clean lashes with micellar water. Use a lint-free cotton swab to remove any residue.
6. Store lashes properly. Once dry, place them in a clean lash case to preserve shape and longevity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ripping off your lashes or scrubbing glue off with your fingernails? Stop! These habits damage lash bands and even your natural lash line.

• Using too much force. Tugging can bend the lash band and pull your own lashes out.
• Skipping the softening step. Dry glue is tough and increases the risk of lash damage.
• Using alcohol or harsh removers. These dry out the lash fibers and weaken lash bands.
• Not storing lashes properly after cleaning. Shape distortion shortens lash lifespan.

Instead, treat your lashes with care and make glue removal part of a gentle lash care ritual. For a full guide on safe beauty routines, explore our Skin and Beauty Care Devices collection.

FAQ: Removing Eyelash Glue from Lashes

How often should I clean my lashes?

Ideally, after every 1–2 wears. Letting glue build up weakens the band and creates uneven application next time.

Is lash glue remover safe for sensitive eyes?

Yes — especially when using products like KentDO wipes which are designed for delicate eye areas. Always patch test if unsure.

Can I use makeup remover instead of lash remover?

Makeup removers can work, especially oil-based ones, but they may not be as effective as a dedicated glue remover for lashes.

Will removing eyelash glue damage my natural lashes?

No — not if done gently with the right products. Avoid pulling or scraping.
