How Can I Help Prevent My Eyelashes From Falling Out Due to Makeup?

Remove Gently

When removing your mascara, “use an eye makeup remover that is oil-based to soften and break down the mascara formula buildup, especially if it’s a waterproof formula,” says Velazquez. Try the NYX Professional Makeup Eye & Lip Makeup Remover. Apply the remover on a cotton pad and gently press it on the eyes, instead of rubbing or tugging, to loosen to the mascara formula. 

Take a Break

Velazquez’s final tip is to take a two week break from mascara for some eyelash rehab. “You can also consider a lash serum to help promote new eyelashes to grow,” he says. We love the Lancôme Cils Booster Lash Revitalizing Serum. Once you see some growth, you can slowly introduce a regular mascara formula back into your routine.
