HELP - best way to remove false lashes???

[RockChick1984]

I had false eyelashes done over Christmas at my local beauty salon, the individual kind. A couple have fallen off so I've tried to pull the others off and my eyelids are now sore but they are still firmly in place! How can I remove them, I look a bit batty with odd tufts here and there!

Don't pull them off ffs!!! You'll pull your own lashes off with them!

Best thing to do is go back to the salon to have them removed. Or you can use special remover to get them off - with a cotton bud, very very carefully (do NOT get the remover in your eyes). I have got some which I bought from the beauty wholesalers, but imagine you can buy it in Boots - they've got it on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dbeauty&field-keywords=lash%20remover&x=0&y=0&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

You could also try soaking pads in eye makeup remover and laying them on your eyelids to try and loosen them, or baby oil gently massaged in. But don't pick at them or pull them.
