This is a very common question that ladies have, and the answer is YES (in most cases)! KES Lashes are applied right above your own lash line, therefore they do not come into contact with your contact lenses. 

Applying false eyelashes for one special night or occasion (like your wedding or prom) will probably be fine, however if you plan on using false eyelashes every day you may be putting your lenses at risk. Some doctors and lens manufacturers say to never wear false lashes, so it’s always best to consult your optometrist before you try it.

When applying fake eyelashes and makeup with contact lenses, take the following steps:

1. Wash your hands so you won't transfer any dirt, dust, oils, creams or lotions to the lenses.
2. Put your contact lenses in before applying false eyelashes.
3. Wait at least 30 seconds for the lash glue to become tacky before applying the fake eyelash quickly to the eyelid.
4. If you are a contact lens wearer, never apply eyeliner between your lashes and your eye.
5. Always remove your contact lenses before removing your false eyelashes and your makeup. 

​For some people, the combination of glue, lenses and eyes will be too much, and you'll find your eyes watering. In these cases, unfortunately, strip lashes probably are not going to work for you :(

1. Pull them off gently and don’t touch the lashes
How long your fake eyelashes will last also depends on how well you take care of them. When taking off your fake eyelashes pull them off carefully, avoiding touching the lashes themselves, just pull gently on the band and start from the outer corners of your eye. If the glue is being particularly stubborn, apply a drop or two of water to a q-tip and rub it along the lash line. 

2. Avoid using mascara on the false eyelashes
With KES Lashes you wont need mascara. However. If you insist on wearing it, make sure it’s applied only to your natural lash, and applied before you put the fake eyelashes on. Keep the fake eyelash as free from makeup as possible and this will keep them looking fresh for longer. 

3. Clean your false eyelashes properly
If you’ve followed the above steps, your fake eyelashes should be free from makeup. Use a small amount of water to remove any excess makeup and leave them to dry.

4. Store them in their box
Storing your false eyelashes in their original eyelash box will help them maintain their curve, and keep them free from bacteria, dirt and dust.

Follow these simple steps and your fake eyelashes will last you many nights out, and be worth investing a few additional dollars into a good pair. 

Once you found a pair of fake eyelashes that you love, it’s understandable that you’re going to want to wear them over and over! So how many times can you reuse fake eyelashes before they need replacing?  

This post covers the life span of different types of false eyelashes and how to care for your eyelashes so you can get the most use out of them.

Can you reuse fake eyelashes?
The good news is YES! Yes you can reuse false eyelashes, but how many times you can reuse your fake eyelashes depends on how the eyelashes are made, the material that has been used, and how well you take care of your false eyelashes.

How many times can you reuse false eyelashes?
How many times you can reuse your false eyelashes all depends on the quality of your fake eyelashes and how well you clean and care for them.

A cheap brand like Ardell can be worn 4-5 times, whereas investing a little more buying a more durable brand of fake eyelashes (like KES Lashes) will mean they can be worn up to 20 times with the right care. Our false eyelashes have a thicker band than Ardell lashes which adds to their durability.

Congratulations! You've bought a pair of the greatest fake eyelashes you can buy. These false eyelashes are reusable multiple times. They are 3D, made from 100% real mink. However, there are some special care instructions that must be adhered to in order to get the most wear from your sparkling new false eyelashes.

Be gentle with your false eyelashes
Grasp the fake eyelashes by the band when picking up. Don’t tug when applying or removing. If you find it difficult to remove the false eyelashes from your eyelid, dampen a cotton swab with water and rub it gently over the band to loosen the glue. If dried glue builds up on the band of your fake eyelashes, gently peel it off with your fingertips.

Apply mascara with care - do not apply to the fake eyelash
Applying mascara to the fake eyelash can cause damage, so only apply to your natural eyelashes first, let it dry, then apply the false eyelash.
​
Proper storage of your fake eyelashes is key
Store in the original packaging to maintain the lash shape and to keep them clean and protected from dirt, dust and bacteria.

Have fun with your lashes!

Asking which is better, eyelash extensions or fake eyelashes is like asking which is better, men or women (and the answer is always women! jk). They are completely different products that work best in different ways for different people.
