False eyelashes and contact lenses are two popular beauty accessories that can transform your look and enhance your natural beauty. False eyelashes add volume, length, and drama to your lashes, while contact lenses can change your eye colour or correct vision. However, it's crucial to wear both false eyelashes and contact lenses comfortably to ensure a pleasant experience and avoid any discomfort or eye-related issues.
Ensure Eye Safety when wearing False Eyelashes and Contact Lenses
Choose the Right False Eyelashes
When wearing false eyelashes with contact lenses, it's crucial to select the right type of lashes. We would recommend some of our classic designs such as:
- Beach Time: This is a pair of criss-cross lashes with length. These wispy lashes are a perfect combination of clean and vibrant and they blend with your natural lashes easily.
- Trouble Maker: Natural and lengthy set. Designed as a base lash, you can pair them with other styles to push the limits of your look
- No Drama: With a short, natural design, this enhances the lash but doesn’t have a dramatic effect. If you are someone who does not like things too heavy and doesn’t necessarily need volume, this is a great design for you!

Prioritize Hygiene
Maintaining proper hygiene is essential when using both false eyelashes and contact lenses. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling either of them. Additionally, ensure that your contact lenses are clean and properly disinfected according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will prevent any bacteria or debris from transferring to your lashes or eyes.
Inserting Contact Lenses First
To avoid any interference with your false eyelashes, it's recommended to insert your contact lenses before applying them. This sequence ensures that your lenses are comfortably settled on your eyes before you add the extra layer of lashes. Inserting lenses first also reduces the risk of accidentally dislodging the lashes while adjusting the lenses.
How to Apply False Eyelashes ?
When applying false eyelashes, follow these steps to ensure a comfortable and seamless experience:
- Trim the Lashes: Measure the length of the false lashes against your natural lash line and trim any excess from the outer corners. This adjustment helps prevent discomfort and ensures a more natural look.
- Apply Glue Carefully: Use a high-quality lash adhesive. Apply a thin line of glue along the lash band and wait for a few seconds to let it become tacky. This prevents the lashes from slipping or moving during application.
- Placement: Gently place the lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible, starting from the outer corner and moving inward. Avoid placing them directly on your eyelids to prevent irritation.
- Press and Secure: Once the lashes are in position, press them gently against your natural lashes. This helps them adhere properly and feel more comfortable.

How to Remove False Eyelashes?
When removing your false eyelashes, be gentle to avoid pulling or tugging at your natural lashes. Use an oil-based makeup remover to dissolve the lash adhesive, and then gently peel off the lashes from the outer corner.

What are the Risks of Improperly Applying False Eyelashes while Wearing Contact Lenses?
Improper application of false eyelashes or the use of low-quality products can pose various risks to your eye health and overall comfort. It's essential to be aware of these risks to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Here are some potential risks associated with improper application or low-quality products:
- Eye Irritation and Allergic Reactions
Low-quality false eyelashes may contain harsh or irritating materials that can cause redness, itching, or allergic reactions.
Improper application techniques, such as using excessive adhesive or applying lashes too close to the lash line, can lead to eye irritation.
- Damage to Natural Lashes
Using low-quality or heavy false eyelashes can put excessive weight and strain on your natural lashes, leading to breakage and thinning over time. Incorrect removal techniques, like pulling or tugging on the false lashes, can cause damage to your natural lashes.
- Eye Infections
Poorly manufactured or unhygienic false eyelashes can harbor bacteria, dirt, or debris that can lead to eye infections.
Using contaminated tools or adhesives can also introduce bacteria into the eye area, increasing the risk of infections.
- Contact Lens Discomfort
Improper application of false eyelashes can cause the lashes to come into contact with the lenses, leading to discomfort, lens displacement, or even lens damage.Low-quality false eyelash adhesives may contain ingredients that can interfere with the comfort and fit of contact lenses.
Glance Cosmetics does not provide adhesives with false eyelashes, because each user might have a different eye concern so a one-size-fits-all adhesive may not be appropriate. We encourage you to use adhesives that are made with clean and safe ingredients to reduce the risk of eye irritation and damaging your lashes!.
- Vision Impairment
Using improper techniques or products for false eyelash application may result in lashes obstructing your vision, causing blurred or limited eyesight.
To mitigate these risks, it's important to invest in high-quality false eyelashes made from safe materials, and follow proper application and removal techniques.
At Glance Cosmetics, all our false eyelashes are made with 100% human hair, ethically sourced and sterilized and handwoven to make intricate designs for you. Check out this blog to know more about how we at Glance Cosmetics prioritize the quality of our false eyelashes.
How to remove makeup while wearing falsies with contact lenses?
It's highly recommended to remove your contact lenses prior to removing your makeup. This precautionary step helps prevent any makeup particles from flaking off and potentially irritating your eyes while wearing contacts.
Moreover, removing your lenses before makeup removal reduces the risk of makeup contaminating your contact lenses, especially if they are reusable. taking out your contact lenses before removing makeup is unnecessary because removing makeup doesn't require sharp eyesight or careful attention to detail.
How to Comfortably Wear False Eyelashes and Contact Lenses Throughout the Day?
Consider the following tips
- Avoid Excessive Mascara: When wearing false eyelashes, it's best to avoid applying excessive mascara to prevent clumping and heaviness.
If it's the drama that you're looking for, we would recommend our fabulous false eyelashes, Eye Candy, which is split into two for easy application and can also be stacked with other falsies to increase the intensity of your look.
Another pair that we would recommend is Blink Of An Eye, natural false eyelashes with smooth and full lashes curved at the tip to make your eyes look natural and elegant.
