FAQ

Everything you need to know about PAPILIA®: from application and removal to care, safety, shipping and choosing your perfect lash style.

What are PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements?

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements are lightweight lash segments designed to enhance your natural lashes with the freedom to customise your look.

Unlike traditional strip lashes, individual segments can be placed where you want them, allowing you to build everything from subtle definition to beautifully enhanced volume.

Each style is crafted with ultra-fine Korean PBT fibres and an ultra-slim cotton band for a soft, lightweight feel and seamless wear.

What makes PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements different?

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements are truly multi-way. You can wear them above your natural lashes, beneath them, or combine both placements to create your own look.

Worn above, they create a more open, lifted eye look and offer a familiar application method for those used to traditional strip lashes.

Worn below, they sit close to the lash line for an exceptionally seamless, undetectable finish.

Because you control the placement, direction and layering, you can customise your lashes to complement your own eye shape and features.

Are PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements are 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

They are handcrafted using ultra-fine Korean PBT fibres and an ultra-slim cotton band.

Are PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements reusable?

Yes. PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements can be reused when handled with care.

After removal, gently remove any remaining adhesive and clean your lash enhancements following our Care & Reuse guide. Allow them to air-dry completely before returning them to their tray.

The lifespan of your lashes will depend on how they are applied, removed and cared for.

How do I apply PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements?

Gently remove the lash enhancements from the tray using tweezers or your preferred applicator.

Apply your preferred adhesive, then place the enhancements along the lash line to create your desired look.

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements can be worn above or beneath your natural lashes, or you can combine both placements to create a customised look.

If you're using PAPILIA® Bond & Seal, follow the application instructions provided with the product.

Are PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements difficult to apply?

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements are designed to give you greater control than a traditional strip lash.

Because the lashes are applied in individual segments, you can work gradually across the eye and adjust the placement, direction and intensity as you go.

As with any lash application technique, it can take a little practice to become comfortable with the process.

Where should I place the lash segments?

Placement depends on the look you want to create and whether you are wearing the lashes above or beneath your natural lashes.

Experiment with different lengths, positions and directions to find what best complements your eye shape and features.

Our tutorials provide step-by-step guidance to help you get started.

Can I mix different lengths?

Absolutely.

One of the benefits of our lash enhancements is the freedom to combine different lengths and create your own lash map.

You can build subtle definition, add intensity to specific areas or create a more customised shape to complement your eyes.

How do I care for my lashes so I can reuse them?

After removal, gently clean away any remaining adhesive from the lash band, taking care not to pull on the fibres.

For daily adhesive, gently peel away any glue that lifts easily. For remaining bond after extended wear, use PAPILIA® Remover to soften it before gently removing it.

To remove makeup or cleansing residue, gently wash with a mild lash shampoo and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow the lashes to air-dry completely before returning them to their tray.

Handle your lash enhancements carefully to help preserve their shape and condition.

Can I wear mascara with PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements?

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements are designed to create definition without the need for mascara.

If you choose to use mascara, avoid applying excessive product directly to the lash fibres, as this can affect their appearance and may make them more difficult to clean and reuse.

Will PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements damage my natural lashes?

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements are designed to be lightweight and to allow for gentle removal when the correct removal process is followed.

The most important thing is never to pull or tug the lash enhancements away. Always use an appropriate remover to loosen the adhesive before gently sliding them away.

As with any cosmetic product used around the eyes, individual experiences can vary. Always conduct a patch test before use. If you experience irritation or discomfort, discontinue use.

Are PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements suitable for sensitive eyes?

If you have sensitive skin or eyes, we recommend performing a patch test before using any PAPILIA® adhesive, Bond + Seal or Remover.

If irritation or an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately.

Can I use PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements if I have short or straight natural lashes?

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements can be customised to suit different natural lash lengths and eye shapes.

The key consideration is having sufficiant natural lash for the lash enhancement to attach securely.

How do I choose the right PAPILIA® lash style for me?

Each PAPILIA® style has been designed with a different balance of length, texture, volume and definition.

Consider the effect you want to create, from subtle definition to soft volume or a fuller finish.

Our collection pages and product imagery are designed to help you compare the different styles.

Can I customise the look of each lash style?

Yes. PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements are designed to give you the freedom to customise your look.

You can combine different lengths, change the direction of individual segments, vary placement and layer segments to build your preferred level of definition and volume.

The same lash can create different effects depending on how you choose to wear it.

What is PAPILIA® Bond + Seal?

PAPILIA® Bond + Seal is designed to help apply and secure your lash enhancements.

Apply a thin layer of BOND to your natural lashes or lash segments. Position your lash enhancements above or beneath your natural lashes, then apply a thin layer of SEAL at the base to remove tackiness and help secure them in place.

Gently press the lashes together using your tweezers or applicator.

How do I use PAPILIA® Remover?

Apply PAPILIA® Remover generously to the lash enhancements, concentrating on areas where adhesive has been applied.

Allow approximately 30 seconds for the remover to dissolve the adhesive, then gently slide the lash enhancements away using a cotton pad or applicator.

Remove any remaining residue by brushing through the lashes again with remover.

Do I need to use PAPILIA® Bond + Seal and Remover?

PAPILIA® Lash Enhancements can be used with your preferred lash adhesive.

However, PAPILIA® Bond + Seal and PAPILIA® Remover have been created specifically to work as part of your lash application and removal routine.
