How to get strip lashes to stay on for days

How long can you wear false eyelashes

How long can you wear false eyelashes? It really depends on your personal needs

How long can you wear false eyelashes?  Until the glue can hold the false eyelashes, right? Well, with our best latex-free glue, false eyelashes will stay on your lash line as long as you want them to; few of our customers have false eyelashes on for 3-7 days.  However, my recommendation is to take them off at the end of the day, or at the end of the night 🌙 after you finished working. Why?

When you go out, you will put on high heel shoes  👠, and nice clothes 👗 . Do you take off your shoes and tight clothes when you get home? Off course, you will.  In fact, you would like to go on bare feet and wear your pajamas, right? or to some people a 🎂 birthday suit.  Why? because it feels comfortable to be "naked", without any "accessories".  You tend to feel the discomfort of high heels and tight clothes strongly as these accessories touch and affect a big part of your body.

What about face makeup 👄 ? You can still feel it.  After you remove layers of heavy primer, foundation, and clean off your makeup, you will feel fresh and comfortable because your skin is naked and it can breathe. 

What about false eyelashes? you probably feel it too because it touches a bit of your lash line skin.  Since your natural eyelashes can't speak much of feeling as with your skin, let's do them a favor.  Take off your false eyelashes at the end of the day, and let your natural eyelashes breath as you would with your body and skin.

Hi, i just discovered the beauty of having long and thick lashes. and im currently into fake eyelashes now. Im asian and im still looking for an eyelash that suits me. it's quite hard maybe because of my eye shape. I however, found a link on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wiqRlU7Im4#t=141 where this girl applies her fake eyelashes below her actual eyelashes, she also said in the comments that she leaves her fakelashes on for a week!! I DIDNT KNOW THAT YOU CAN LEAVE THE FAKE LASHES ON FOR A WEEK. has anyone tried leaving it on their eyes for more than two days? i want to try it. any tips and tricks on how to apply iy?

What’s everyone’s excuse for avoiding false eyelashes? According to expert Mabel Lee, people love reverting to the old “they’re too difficult to apply” reason. That’s exactly why she created the Velour Effortless Collection, the latest offering from her lash line, which has been a top seller in Sephora since 2015.

There are many reasons to consider adding one of her lash styles to your routine — like the curved tool for placement and latex-free glue for hold they come with — but what we really appreciate is that it’s truly meant for the beginner or someone who simply wants to glue and go.

Ahead, Lee shares seven things to keep in mind if you’re applying falsies for the first time and feel intimidated by what should be an easy process.

Glue takes time

One of the biggest mistakes Lee sees people make while applying falsies is not waiting for the glue to dry. When we rush to put them on, this only means they’re more likely to fall off in the middle of the day. Instead, she says to “give the glue 10 to 20 seconds for it to get tacky. It will make your lash application so much easier.”

Angles matter

When you don’t have the luxury of a makeup artist applying lashes for you, it’s really about the angle in which you apply them. As you’re putting them on yourself, Lee says to put a mirror directly underneath your chin so you can look down and get a really good view of your natural lashes simultaneously. Looking down leaves more room for you to get the falsie directly on top of your natural ones.

Lee’s Velour lashes actually come with a tool that looks like tweezers at first glance but is actually curved to the natural shape of your eye. If you have shaky hands, this makes laying the lashes atop your own eyelashes much easier; just be sure to grab the whole false lash instead of just the ends. Doing the latter may lead to the hairs ripping off prematurely.

Toggle first

You should be able to get a good number of wears out of false eyelashes, but some of that depends on how you treat them fresh out the box. Lee says that whenever you’re using a new pair for the first time, you should “toggle the lashes to loosen the band. It just makes it so much more flexible” and easier to curve to the shape of your eye.

Avoid mascara

A lot of eyelash tutorials teach us that mascara is the best way to make your falsies look like the real thing. And although makeup does sometimes enhance their look, Lee says we should actually avoid mascara if we really want them to last long. Instead, focus on buying quality lashes that don’t need that extra enhancement.

Another way to ensure your lashes stay full and healthy-looking is to make them the last step of your makeup routine.

“It should truly be your last step,” says Lee. “I do all my eye makeup, my foundation, and when I’m done, I pop on my lashes. If you really want mascara, apply it on your natural lashes first, wait for it to dry and then put your lashes on.”

Don’t overclean

Sure, lashes are prone to collecting dust when we don’t store them in a case (luckily, Velour has those), but you should also avoid overcleaning them or soaking them.

“A lot of people, after every use, they start pulling on the glue. Ours melts into the band, so you don’t need to do that,” says Lee. “I usually start peeling the glue after six uses. If it really gets dirty, get a Q-tip, dip it in makeup remover, and brush off the excess.”

And if you accidentally get into the shower or pool with them on, simply air-dry after.

Secure the ends

Have you ever found yourself walking down the street and all of a sudden making painfully weird faces because the wind blew off half your eyelash? Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for that. Unless you’re carrying lash glue in your purse — like Lee does — you can either hold down the lash to get that grip back on or prepare ahead of time.

“I always put extra glue on the ends to really secure that hold,” says Lee. Also, if the lashes you’re wearing are a fresh pair and you really want them to stay on, go in with two layers of glue before applying. However, keep in mind that the second and third time around, “you only have to apply one because it’s already tacky.”

Mind your makeup

And lastly, wearing fake lashes without mascara doesn’t mean your eyes should be completely neglected at the end of the night.

“I always make sure I take my makeup off. Some people when they wear eyelashes leave the glue and residue on.” Keep your glands and natural lashes clean at all times to ensure seamless falsie application from day to day.
