Some makeup brands sell eyelash glue remover, which is specifically designed for getting rid of the adhesive. However, regular eye makeup remover can also remove the glue.
You can use a cotton swab in place of the ball if you prefer. Oils tend to be gentler than eye makeup removers, so this method may work well if you have sensitive eyes. The oil is also very moisturizing, so it works well if you have dry skin in your eye area. Oil removal may not be the best method if you have oily or acne-prone skin because the oil may clog your pores. It could also result in painful sties for people with oily skin types. Keep in mind that the oil may make it more difficult for the lash glue to bond with the lash band in the future. If you plan to reuse the lashes, you should use an alternative method to remove the glue.
Steaming your face to remove the glue has the added benefit of cleaning your pores.
