How to store your false eyelashes? 5 tips for maximum lifespan

You've found the perfect set of Olimbera lashes, you know how to apply them and how to clean them. But did you know that the way you store them is just as important for their longevity? If you just throw them loose in your makeup bag, they'll quickly lose their beautiful curl and shape.

Do you want your lashes to last up to 20 uses? Then follow these 5 simple storage tips.

1. The original packaging is golden

Never throw away the boxes of your Olimbera lashes! These packages are specially designed with a rounded tray that supports the natural curve of the lash band. By 'clicking' them back onto the tray after each use, they maintain their shape and are super easy to apply next time.

2. Keep them dust-free

Air and dust are the enemies of clean lashes. Dust particles can settle between the fine hairs, which not only ruins the look but can also cause eye irritation. So always make sure the box is tightly closed. A sealed package is the best guarantee for a hygienic look.

3. Avoid the humid bathroom

While the bathroom is usually where we do our makeup, it's not the best place to store false eyelashes. The steam and high humidity from the shower can weaken the adhesive strip on the lashes or even cause the curl of the hairs to drop. It's better to store your lash collection in a dry, cool place like your dressing table in the bedroom.

4. Never "loose" in your bag

We all know it: after a night out, you're tired and take off your lashes. Tempting to quickly put them in your handbag, right? Don't do it! In your bag, they can get caught between your keys or lipstick, causing the band to crease. Unfortunately, a creased band is almost impossible to straighten out again.

5. Store horizontally

If you have a large collection and you stack your boxes, make sure they lie horizontally (flat). If lashes are stored vertically for a long time, gravity can cause the shape to deviate slightly, especially with heavier 'glamour' models.

Your lashes, your investment

At Olimbera, we make the highest quality lashes so you can enjoy them time and time again. With a few extra seconds of attention when storing them, you'll ensure your favorite pair stays like new for months.
