Apply warm water – it costs you nothing
Applying warm water is one of the simplest and costless methods of removing the false eyelashes. Pour some warm water into a medium bowl and dip two clean pieces of washcloth in it. Now, place them on your eyes and hold for about one minute, keeping your eyes close. Remove the washcloths and open your eyes. Now, pick the tweezers, hold the false eyelash from the outer edge and peel it off smoothly. Use the tweezers to remove the second lash in the same way.

Try Eye Makeup Remover – its pain-free and lash-friendly
Try Eye Makeup Remover as it is a pain-free and lash-friendly product. Take a cotton pad or cotton swab and dip it in the eye makeup remover. Close your eyes and place the cotton pads on your eyes. Let it sit for a few minutes (may be 2 to 3 minutes) until the glue or adhesive softens well. Now, hold one of the false eyelashes from one side and gently peel it off. Remove the other false eyelash in the same manner.
Note: Do not pull the false lashes while removing them as the skin of your lash line is very sensitive and it can remove your natural eyelashes as well.

Try a cold cream - it is a trouble-free method
Pick up a clean cotton swap and dip it into any cold cream that is available at your dressing table or in your makeup kit. Close your eyes one by one and apply the cold cream to your lash lines. Now, wait until the glue or adhesive of your false lashes become softer. Open one of your eyes, look straight into the mirror and tenderly remove the lash on the other eye. Repeat the same method on your other eye.

Try some coconut oil
Apply some coconut oil to a cotton pad or tissue paper and place it on your closed eyes for a few minutes until the glue on them softens. Gently pull the false eyelash with the tip of your fingers. Repeat same method with the other eyelash.
Note: If you are using your fingers for this method, then do not forget to wash your hands in the end as the adhesive contains chemicals. Otherwise you can use weezers or disposable gloves for this purpose.

Apply the oil to the remaining glue or adhesive on your lash line and wait for a few seconds. Now, soothingly remove the glue with the same cotton swap or tissue paper.
