False eyelashes can work wonders when it comes to making your eyes stand out and giving your makeup a dramatic flair.

Gently peel away the false eyelashes from your eyelids. If the lashes are difficult to remove, gently dab at them with the oil-soaked cotton ball until they can be easily removed.

Wipe your eyelid with the oil in one direction until all of the eyelash glue has been removed. Wash your face with your normal cleanser to remove the excess oil as it may clog pores and cause breakouts.
