These days, false lashes or lash extensions are no longer reserved for special occasions like prom or a wedding. You can find all sorts of false lashes for every sort of occasion, with different lengths, patterns, and even crazy colors.

Many of us think that all we need is a pair of falsies and some decent lash glue to achieve this luxurious lash look, but that may not be enough anymore.

If you feel like your lash process could be just a bit easier, or you’re curious as to how you can add more to your fun lash routine, take a gander at these five lash accessories you never knew you needed.

1. Castor Oil Cotton Swab

Though we know you’re all about the falsies, why not step up your natural lash game a bit?

Getting yourself a castor oil cotton swab can improve the health, look, and length of your natural lashes. Castor oil has been a valuable part of hair health for ages. It’s a natural way to protect and nourish your hair, and that includes your eyebrows and lashes.

A pre-moistened castor oil cotton swab makes this process easy without having to lug a messy bottle of castor oil around.

2. Magnetic Lash Applicator

Many of us have realized the magic of magnetic lashes, but for those of us who still aren’t in the know about these magical inventions, let’s break it down.

Magnetic lashes work in one of two ways: you either sandwich your natural lash between tho strips that magnetize together, or use a magnetic liner. For ones with a magnetic liner all you have to do is apply that special eyeliner like you would a regular liquid liner, let it dry a bit, then apply the lash.

A magnetic lash applicator helps you evenly apply the magnetic lash to your eye, allowing for more precise placement.

3. Lash Scissors

Strip lashes are made pretty long to fit the largest of eyes. Chances are, your eye just isn’t quite as wide as the average lash strip.

Lash scissors are smaller than the regular kitchen scissors you would use otherwise. This lets you make the cut precisely where you need it without risking cutting off extra lashes.

4. A Fan

If you’re a big fan (wink wink) of magnetic lashes, you know that you have to let that special liner dry before you can apply them to your lashes.

Getting an accordion fan to help dry your magnetic liner can really speed up the process when you’re trying to apply your magnetic lashes. Plus, it adds some cool, luxe flair, making putting on lashes a whole classy experience.

Bonus points: you can use the fan during the summer to fan your face off when it gets really hot outside.

5. Oil-Free Makeup Remover

In order to keep your false lashes in pristine condition, you need to invest in a safe, oil-free makeup remover. Cleaning your false lashes after every use is key to making them last longer and look better.

To gently clean your falsies, use a cotton ball dipped in an oil-free makeup remover to gently rub off any makeup that could have gotten on your false lashes. It’s important to make sure that the makeup remover is oil-free since heavy oils could damage your false lashes.
