Frequently Asked Questions

Are PHANSTA LASHES safe for sensitive eyes?

Yes. PHANSTA LASHES are hypoallergenic, latex-free and fragrance-free, and they apply without liquid adhesive — the most common lash irritant. Patch-test any new product on your inner arm for 24 hours before first use.

How long do PHANSTA LASHES last per wear?

With clean, dry lids at application, PHANSTA LASHES hold comfortably through a full day — including workouts and light rain when you use the waterproof version. Hold depends mostly on clean, dry application.

Can you really reuse PHANSTA LASHES 30+ times?

Yes, when cared for properly. Gently peel them off by lifting from the outer corner, wipe the band with a damp swab after each wear, and store pairs curved-side-up in the tray. Never soak the band in remover.

Do PHANSTA LASHES damage natural lashes?

No — unlike tugging off dried glue, PHANSTA LASHES peel away cleanly without pulling natural hairs. Remove gently by lifting from the outer corner.

How much do PHANSTA LASHES cost?

PHANSTA LASHES are $59 per pair, reusable for 30+ wears — that works out to under $2 per wear over a full month of use.
