Before you get started, you should always wash your hands thoroughly. Clean your hands, as well as the tools (tweezers, curler, etc.) you will be using, this will reduce the risk of bacteria and irritation when applying your lashes.
When it comes to prepping your lashes, it's super important to be gentle. You should handle them as if they are your natural eyelashes. Faux mink is durable, but to prolong the fiber, a soft touch is necessary.
Avoid grabbing them by the actual lashes, for this might pull out the lashes and create a gap between the lashes. Instead, grab them by the band and carefully bend to apply glue. You may also use a clean eyelash tweezer to grab your lashes from the box. If you are using a strip lash, measure out the length of your eyelid and the lashes. Then you may trim accordingly from the outer corner of the lashes.
For best results, use high-quality lash glue. There are a variety of different brands that cater to your eye sensitivity. Senshi Lashes will have a lash glue line in the future.
As for mascara, we don't recommend that you use it on the lashes directly. It's best to apply mascara to your natural eyelashes, and then apply your faux mink ones. You can also curl your own lashes before applying the falsies. The faux mink lashes should already have a beautiful curl and fullness, so mascara and curling them is unnecessary.
It's really important not to soak your faux mink lashes. If you are washing your face, it's best to wash the top and bottom portions separately. This way you can avoid submerging your lashes in water. When it comes to cleaning around the eyes, makeup wipes or a cotton ball with a water-based cleanser is best.
While it's absolutely necessary to clean your faux mink lashes, you should avoid soaking them in a cleanser. This can damage the integrity and ruin your lashes.
REMOVE AND CLEAN THEM PROPERLY
To cleanse them the proper way, use an oil-based cleanser or an actual oil, like coconut oil. You can softly rub the oil onto your lashes and gently peel them off. After removal, you should clean the lash band with a q tip and makeup remover. Lightly wipe over the band with q tip until the glue is completely off. If you wait to clean your lashes, it can make it a lot more difficult to remove the glue. It will harden and take a lot more time to loosen the adhesive and pull the band apart from the lashes. Proper storage is key to maintain the shape of faux mink lashes. By placing your lashes in their case/box, you can keep them free from dirt, debris, and dust.
How Long Do Faux Mink Lashes Last? For long-lasting, soft, high-quality lashes if you care for them properly they can last from anywhere from 5 days to 2 to 3 weeks.
