Quick answer

Clean your Sheer Chemise lashes after every 2-3 wears with a gentle oil-free cleanser and store them in their original tray to maintain their shape and adhesive.

Why regular cleaning matters for Sheer Chemise lashes

Sheer Chemise lashes from Lilac St. have a delicate, elegant finish that can get dulled by makeup residue, oils, and dust. Skipping cleanings not only shortens their lifespan but can also irritate your eyes when you reapply them.

The key trade-off: thorough cleaning preserves the lash band and fibers, but using the wrong product (like an oil-based makeup remover) will dissolve the adhesive and ruin the lashes. Stick to oil-free cleansers and a gentle touch.

How to clean and maintain your Sheer Chemise lashes

  1. Step 1: Remove excess glue gently: After wearing, peel off any dried lash glue from the band using your fingers or tweezers. Avoid pulling the lash fibers themselves—this can cause shedding. Never use acetone or nail polish remover; it will melt the band.
  2. Step 2: Soak in oil-free cleanser: Fill a small dish with warm water and a drop of oil-free makeup remover or gentle facial cleanser. Swish the lashes for 10-15 seconds to loosen debris without rubbing. Oil-based removers break down lash adhesive—always check the label.
  3. Step 3: Brush and rinse: Use a clean spoolie or a soft toothbrush to gently brush the lash fibers from the base to the tips. Rinse under lukewarm running water. Don't soak for more than a minute; prolonged water exposure weakens the band.
  4. Step 4: Air dry on a clean towel: Place the lashes on a paper towel or lint-free cloth with the band curved upward. Let them air dry completely (about 10-15 minutes) before storing. Never use a hair dryer—heat warps the shape and damages the fibers.
  5. Step 5: Store in the original tray: Once dry, place the lashes back into the Sheer Chemise tray with the band aligned to the curve. Close the lid to keep dust off and maintain the shape. Storing in a makeup bag without the tray can crush the lashes and distort the curl.
