Answer Rubi-
Hi the professional that applied them should be able to assist you on this. Especially since I am not sure what kind do you have? There are different types.
I recommend bioelements make up remover $30. Its silicone and oil free.
I would caution against using mascara on your extensions.Most mascaras are petroleum based, will break down the bonding agent of the extensions, and dramatically shorten their lives. Because your bottom lashes touch your top lashes when the eye is closed, we recommend not using your normal mascara on your bottom lashes as well. We recommend "Blinc's Kiss Me Mascara" for the bottom. This mascara is not petroleum based and will not break down the extension's bonding agent. Hair Base retails this particular mascara for $25 and is a safe mascara to use on the bottom lashes. We don't recommend it for use on the extensions themselves however. Even though it doesn't break down the bonding on the extensions, it also does not come off the extensions. After several applications, your extensions will be thick, clumpy and dull. The only way to fix them is to remove them and start a new.
Avoid waxy/creamy pencils and stick to powder/brush combinations or "Blinc's Liquid Eye linear". Again this product is safe for the extensions because they are not petroleum based and will not break down the bonding agent.
