We get it; wearing false eyelashes is so much fun. You can give your eyes some instant drama and flutter. False eyelashes are no longer just a glamour choice; almost everyone is including them in their everyday makeup routines. They are so easy to maintain and a quick way to add some volume to highlight your eyes. Sadly, this little style boost has a hidden environmental price. False eyelashes are usually used only once before being discarded, which only adds to the growing waste problem.
Furthermore, false lashes can irritate your eyes due to the materials they contain. In this blog, we will discuss how you can use vegan eyelashes to enhance your eyes and give tips for irritation-free wear.
What are Vegan Eyelashes?
Vegan false eyelashes are made without the use of any animal ingredients or byproducts. They are usually made from synthetic materials that resemble the texture and appearance of real lashes. Meanwhile, the traditional lashes include animal hair or glues that are made of substances derived from animals.

Tips to Re-Use Vegan Eyelashes
With false lashes, you can go from daily to evening look effortlessly. Even though they cost a lot, people often don’t know how to reuse them properly. Hence, to help the environment and simply prolong the life of your lashes, here are some tips:
Step One: Lash Glue
You need to remove the leftover lash glue from your latest wear since glue-covered lashes cannot be adequately cleaned. It's easy to gently pick out the dried glue using a high-quality pair of tweezers. Hold the lashes down firmly to avoid any tension between the strands and the band. Depending upon the kind of glue you use, it may come off in one go or take multiple attempts.
Step Two: Cleaning
When you use false lashes, your natural oils and mascara residue can build up on it. Hence, it is necessary to clean them thoroughly after each wear.
You can firmly hold the lashes down by the band and use a spoolie and micellar water to clean them. If you have applied heavy makeup products, you can also place the lash on the table while holding the band and gently wipe the lashes using a makeup pad soaked in makeup remover. Wipe from root to tip to ensure everything comes out between the strands. You can also flip the lashes and do the cleaning from both sides to ensure they are properly cleaned.
Step Three: Drying
Once you are done cleaning the lashes, make sure to use a dry spoolie to brush through them. Hold down the lashes and gently pat using a dry microfibre cloth to absorb excess moisture, then brush to return the lashes to their original style. Finally, let them out to air dry to avoid any bacteria or fungi build-up.
Step Four: Storing
Once the lashes are dried, brush through them again using a dry spoolie and put them in a box. You can either store it in the original packaging or use your own box, whichever you deem suitable. Store them to protect and maintain their shape.
