What is the rule to follow when removing a client's artificial lashes?

• A. Start from the inner corner
• B. Remove from the center
• C. Start from the outer corner
• D. Pull directly outward

Answer: (C)

Starting from the outer corner is the safest and most controlled way to remove artificial lashes because it guides the release along the natural lash line and minimizes traction near the eye. By working from outer to inner, you use gentle, gradual movement to dissolve the adhesive and lift the extensions without pulling on the delicate inner lashes or causing abrupt tugs that can irritate the eye or damage natural lashes. Starting at the inner corner risks snagging the tear duct and pulling on lashes near the inner eye, while removing from the center can leave residue and disrupt even release. Pulling directly outward applies a harsh, uncontrolled force that increases the chance of damage. So, the outer-to-inner approach minimizes risk and gives the best control during removal.
