And thanks to Lashify’s innovative Gossamer® Lashes and lash-safe products, contact lens wearers can achieve flawless eyelash extensions without compromise. Here’s how to make it work seamlessly.

Contact Lenses and Eyelash Extensions: Can You Wear Them Together?

Yes, you absolutely can wear contacts and eyelash extensions together! It’s all about taking proper care of your eyes and lashes to avoid irritation or discomfort. Lashify’s lightweight, natural-feeling Gossamer® Lashes are perfect for contact lens wearers, offering a soft, feather-light feel that’s practically made for sensitive eyes.

But here’s the kicker: your lash extension application and maintenance game needs to be on point. The right techniques and products can make all the difference between a flawless, comfortable experience and an unfortunate mishap. That’s where Lashify’s cutting-edge tools and bonds come into play, ensuring long-lasting wear without irritation.

Tips for Wearing Contacts with Lash Extensions

#1 Insert Contacts Before Applying Lashes

Always pop in your contact lenses before applying lash extensions. Why? This step minimizes the risk of transferring oils or adhesive residue onto your lenses. Lashify’s Whisper Light Bond and the newly launched Mrs. Bond are specifically designed to keep your lashes secure without compromising comfort, even for sensitive eyes.

#2 Be Gentle When Removing Contacts

When it’s time to remove your lenses, a steady hand is your best friend. Avoid tugging or pulling near your lash line to keep your extensions intact. Think of it as a delicate dance—slow, controlled motions ensure your lashes stay flawless and your lenses come out smoothly.

#3 Use Lash-Safe Products

Contact lens wearers need to be extra mindful of the products they use. Lashify’s Pre-Cleanse Cleansing Water is a water-based cleanser that’s perfect for cleaning your lashes without leaving behind residue. Avoid oil-based removers like they’re your ex at a party—they can weaken the adhesive and irritate your eyes.

Common Concerns and Solutions

Adhesive Sensitivity

Contact lens wearers often have more sensitive eyes, which means choosing a low-fume, hypoallergenic adhesive is key. Lashify’s Whisper Light Bond is specially formulated to minimize irritation while still delivering a secure hold, making it a perfect match for contact lens users.

Dry Eyes and Irritation

Wearing contact lenses and lash extensions simultaneously can sometimes cause dryness. Combat this by using preservative-free artificial tears, but make sure not to apply them directly onto your extensions. Keep your eyes hydrated while maintaining the integrity of your lashes.

Lens Contamination

Touching your lashes while handling your contacts can transfer bacteria or makeup residue—two things your eyes don’t need. Clean your lenses and lash line regularly with lash-safe tools like Lashify’s Fluffer™ Cleansing Brush to keep everything fresh and irritation-free.

How to Avoid Irritation When Wearing Contacts with Lash Extensions

Even with the best lash system, irritation can sometimes happen. Here’s how to minimize discomfort and keep your eyes feeling fresh:

• Blink More Often – Contact lenses can reduce your natural blinking rate, leading to dryness. Make a conscious effort to blink fully and frequently to keep your eyes hydrated.
• Take Breaks from Lenses – If your eyes start feeling dry or tired, consider wearing glasses for part of the day to give them a rest.
• Choose the Right Contact Solution – Avoid solutions with harsh preservatives that can cause irritation. Opt for preservative-free or sensitive-eye formulas.

By following these simple habits and knowing how to take care of eyelash extensions, you’ll keep both your contacts and lashes comfortable for all-day wear.

Maintenance Tips for Contact Lens Wearers with Lash Extensions

Daily upkeep is essential for contact lens wearers with lash extensions. Here’s how to keep your lashes looking fab:

• Brush Them Daily: Use Lashify’s Wandom® Applicator to align your lashes and remove debris.
• Refresh Your Bond: Apply Whisper Light Bond® every few days to keep your extensions secure and in place.
• Gentle Makeup Removal: Use Lashify’s Melt Away Remover to clean off makeup without disrupting your extensions or irritating your eyes.

If you alternate between contacts and glasses, you might wonder how lash extensions with glasses work. The key is choosing the right length and curl to prevent your lashes from brushing against your lenses. Lashify’s customizable Gossamer® Lashes allow you to find the perfect fit, ensuring comfort whether you’re wearing glasses or contacts.
