Beauty Q&A: How Do I Remove Eyelash Glue From My Lashes?

Falsies are a girl’s best friend — except when you’re left with sticky eyelash glue all over your lashes. And when it comes to accidentally leaving the glue on for a few hours (or dare I say, overnight), it only makes your makeup reapplication worse. To get to the bottom of how to avoid this sticky situation, we chatted with Lancôme Beauty Advisor Marwah Khamas, and she broke down exactly what you have to do.

Less Glue Is More
