Why Proper Glue Removal Matters
Taking a moment to remove eyelash glue the right way has its benefits. First, it protects the health of your natural lashes. Since lash adhesives are normally strong enough to hold throughout a whole day, they can be a little stubborn when trying to remove them. Pulling or being in a hurry with this process may weaken your natural lashes-or worse, break them.
Beyond lash health, there’s also comfort. Residual glue can be an irritant, and the little bits of adhesive might make your lashes stick together at awkward angles. A clean removal not only feels refreshing but leaves your lashes in the best condition for when you will need them again. Using the right equipment with a bit of patience will allow you to remove glue completely without compromising the look or strength of your natural lashes.
Basic Techniques to Remove Eyelash Glue at Home
When you don’t have any special remover, some home remedies do it just right and help to loosen glue safely. Of course, these methods may sound basic but are still a great beginning toward any removal process.
Warm Water and Cotton Pad: Warm water will help in loosening the glue itself. Place a soaked cotton pad with warm water, close your eyes, and just hold it over your lashes for 20–30 seconds. The heat loosens the adhesive and thereby helps remove it without much force.
Oil-Based Makeup Remover: Oil-based removers are known for dissolving makeup,and they work similarly with lash glue. Dab your cotton pad with oil-based remover and press it against your lashes. Let it stay there for a few moments before you wipe off the glue.
Smoothening Massage: A light massage using your fingertips will often work, especially when most of the adhesive is off. Apply a little oil or micellar water, and then gently rub the lashes between your fingers. This helps to get rid of the remaining glue without excessive pulling.

Depending on how stubborn the glue is, or how frequent you are with the lash extensions, getting a dedicated remover might be worth the investment. Here’s a breakdown of the top-rated eyelash glue removers for unique benefits.
KISS Falscara Remover
KISS Falscara Remover is one of the most popular choices of professionals for taking away glue from lash extensions. The formula is mild enough to use as many times as desired and breaks down the bond and seal that comes with Falscara lashes. I like it because it is infused with rosewater, which gives a nice, soothing touch to the whole procedure.
How To Use: Soak a cotton pad with the Falscara Remover, placing it on your lashes for about 10 seconds. This helps in giving the formula time to properly penetrate and break down the glue. Then, just gently rub the cotton pad against your lashes, and you will be surprised that the glue loosens so easily without using hard pressure.

- Gentle formula added with rosewater for further nourishment.
