    Most fake eyelashes come with glue and a glue remover. You can also purchase eyelash glue remover separately. Apply the glue remover with a soaked cotton ball, then gently peel off the lashes. If there is still glue attached to the lashes, use tweezers to pick it off.

    Yes, you can reuse them as long as you don't remove them with oil or an oil-based makeup remover. Oils will damage the lashes, making them unsuitable for reuse.

    The glue can be drying to your lashes if you wear them frequently, but they aren't damaging otherwise. When damage occurs from false eyelashes or extensions it is usually from removing them harshly.

    You can remove eyelash extension with steam and oil. First, place your head over steaming water for a few minutes, then wipe the lashes with a cotton ball soaked in oil. If this doesn't work you can also try an adhesive remover.
