False lashes for sensitive eyes

No wet glue on your eyelid, a light band and an honest patch test: how to wear lashes even with sensitive eyes.

Watery eyes, itching or a red eyelid after false lashes: the culprit is almost always the loose lash glue. It goes on your skin wet, often contains cyanoacrylate and has to dry while you blink. Press-on lashes work differently: the adhesive strip sits dry on the band and bonds to your lashes, not to your eyelid. For many people with sensitive eyes that is exactly the difference.

Why press-on is often better tolerated

No wet glue. Nothing liquid comes near your eye; the adhesive strip is dry and already on the band.
Bonds to lashes, not skin. The cluster sits under your natural lash line and barely touches your eyelid.
Light. The ultra-thin band does not pull on your lashes or press on your eyelid.
Off every evening. Your eyes rest at night, unlike with extensions that stay on for weeks.

Always do a patch test

Sensitive or not: test the adhesive strip 24 to 48 hours ahead on the inside of your forearm. With sensitive skin, test the lash band itself too. No redness, itching or bumps? Then you can wear the lashes. If you do notice irritation while wearing them, remove them immediately, rinse with lukewarm water and stop using them. All guidelines are on our safety and use page.

Which line for sensitive eyes?

Start with Natural: the lightest line, with the fewest clusters per eye. If that feels comfortable you can always move to Medium later. Wear the lashes for a few hours the first time instead of a full day, and space them slightly wider so your eyelid keeps room. Never apply them to an irritated or damaged eyelid, and do not share your set with others.
