Summer look: Tips for false eyelashes on holiday (Sea, sun and beach)

The holidays are just around the corner! We all want to look effortlessly chic in our holiday photos without spending hours on heavy makeup. False eyelashes are the perfect solution for an instant 'glam' look by the pool or during a dinner by the sea. But how do you combine false eyelashes with sun, sea, and sunscreen?

At Olimbera, we've gathered the best tips so you can shine all summer long with an irresistible gaze.

1. Use a strong, waterproof lash adhesive

During the summer, you'll encounter heat, humidity, and perhaps an unexpected dip in the water. Standard adhesive sometimes isn't resistant to perspiration.

• Our tip: Choose a high-quality, waterproof lash adhesive. Make sure the adhesive is completely dry before you head out into the bright sun.

2. Be careful with sunscreen around the eyes

Sunscreen is essential, but the oils in the cream can degrade the lash adhesive. If oil gets on the lash strip, the lash might come off halfway through the day.

• The technique: Apply your sunscreen carefully and avoid the direct lash line. For your eyelids, it's better to use special sunglasses or an oil-free eye cream with SPF.

3. Can you swim with false eyelashes?

The short answer: you can, but be careful. Saltwater and chlorine are aggressive to the delicate hairs of your Olimbera lashes and can remove their curl.

• The secret: If you plan to actually swim, it's better to remove your lashes and store them in their case. If you still want to wear them for a photo? Rinse your face immediately with fresh water after swimming to remove salt and chlorine.

4. Clean more often than usual

In the summer, you sweat more and often use more products like face mists and filters. This means dirt can accumulate on your lash strip more quickly.

• Maintenance: Clean your lashes thoroughly every evening with an oil-free remover. This prevents irritation and ensures you can wear the same pair all holiday long.

5. Store them in a cool place

Never leave your lash case in a hot car or in direct sunlight on your beach towel. Extreme heat can distort the shape of the lashes and make the adhesive strip sticky.

• Storage advice: Keep your lash collection in your (cooled) hotel room or in a shaded bag.

Ready for summer?

With the right care, false eyelashes are your best friend during your holiday. No more smudged mascara, just a beautiful, open gaze from sunrise to sunset.
