Long, voluminous lashes are all the rage these days, and there's no faster (or fuss-free!) way to get them than through lash extensions.
Seriously, it's why lash extension services are a dime a dozen in Singapore, these days. If you're a wearer or someone who's contemplating getting them, there is one factor you have to take into consideration, though: a makeup remover for eyelash extensions.
Using the wrong cleanser is a sure-fire way of losing those meticulously glued-on lashes, no matter if you're using wipes, micellar water or an oil cleanser. Ugh. This brings to mind the question, though: what can you use to preserve the integrity and number of your lashes?
Luckily for you, Daily Vanity has you covered. Here are 14 gentle makeup removers and cleansers for lash extensions that will keep them in place, intact, and more fluttery than ever!
