The Complete Guide to False Eyelashes for Chemo and Cancer Patients

Going through cancer treatment is one of life's most challenging journeys, and the physical changes that come with chemotherapy can deeply impact how we see ourselves. Hair loss, including the loss of eyelashes, is one of the most visible side effects that can affect your confidence and sense of identity. At Youthphoria, we understand this deeply personal experience, and we're here to help you feel beautiful and confident throughout your treatment.

Why Trust Youthphoria?

At Youthphoria, we create the most realistic and comfortable lashes on the market, designed by our founder, Shirley: a 5X qualified lash artist, pharmacist, cosmetic chemist, and skin therapist. This rare combination of expertise ensures our false eyelashes for chemo patients are not only beautiful but also safe for your most sensitive moments.

Understanding Eyelash Loss During Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, which unfortunately includes the hair follicles responsible for eyelash growth. This process, called chemotherapy-induced alopecia, typically begins 2-3 weeks after treatment starts. Unlike scalp hair, eyelashes are more delicate and may take longer to regrow, making eyelashes for cancer patients an essential part of maintaining your appearance and emotional well-being during treatment.

The loss of eyelashes affects more than just appearance – it also reduces your eyes' natural protection from dust and debris. This is why choosing the right fake eyelashes during chemo becomes both a beauty and health consideration.

Important: One of the best things about our magnetic eyelashes is that you do not need natural lashes to secure our products. They can be used during chemotherapy and for alopecia. Our lashes are gentle and suitable for sensitive skin.

Why Natural Magnetic Eyelashes Are Perfect for Cancer Patients

Why Brown Eyelashes Are Perfect for Cancer Patients

Many cancer patients find that brown eyelashes provide a beautiful, natural look during treatment. Here's why brown works so well:

Natural Appearance: Brown lashes create a softer, more natural frame for your eyes when your overall coloring may be more muted due to treatment
Versatile Matching: Brown complements all eye colours and works beautifully with or without makeup
Less Maintenance: Any minor gaps or imperfections are less noticeable with brown lashes compared to stark black ones
Daytime Appropriate: Perfect for medical appointments, work, or casual outings where a subtle, natural look is preferred

How to Apply Your Magnetic Eyelashes: Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Try on the magnetic eyelashes

Try on the lashes to check their fit, and trim if needed. The magnetic lashes should run across your upper lash line along your eyelid. Allow about 2-10mm from the inner corner of your eye for a comfortable fit.

Important: Ensure magnets are at the very end of the inner and outer sides of the lashes.

Step 2: Apply your magnetic eyeliner

Ensure your eyelids are clean and dry. Shake the eyeliner and apply 2-3 even coats of liner, close to the natural lash line. Make sure the liner is at least the thickness of the lash band and consistent along the entire lash line from the inner and outer corner of your lash line to ensure maximum grip.

Let the liner semi-dry for around 15-30 seconds between coats, before adding your lashes. You want it to be about 80% dry. You can use this product the same as a normal eyeliner; so wing away!

Tip: A thin line of magnetic eyeliner can be achieved by scraping the brush-tip against the inside of the eyeliner container.

Step 3: Magnetise your lashes onto the magnetic eyeliner

Use Youthphoria's lash applicator for a better grip and for visible placement of the magnetic lashes.

Using your fingers, place the magnetic lashes on top of the liner you applied in step 2. Begin applying the lash from the inner corner to the outer corner of your lash line. This will allow the magnets to softly snap into place, one by one. Firmly press the lashes into place, to ensure a secure connection. And voila! You're done!

Precautions: As with any cosmetic product, always perform a patch test prior to full application. In case of eye contact, wash the eye thoroughly with clean water. If you have a pre-existing eye condition consult a medical professional before use.

Caring for Your Magnetic Lashes During Treatment

Removing Your Lashes

When you're ready to remove your lashes, simply peel off the magnetic lashes from your eyelids with your fingers. You can easily remove the magnetic eyeliner with Youthphoria specially formulated, natural and Australian made foam makeup remover or waterproof makeup remover.

Cleaning and Storage

If there are remnants of the liner on your magnetic eyelashes, you can clean them after each use by gently rubbing them with a cotton bud saturated in Isocol (64% Isopropyl Alcohol - purchase from your local supermarket) and allow to air dry for best results. This will keep them hygienic too. Alternatively, you can remove them carefully with tweezers.

Essential Care Tips for Cancer Patients:

Don't forget to store your lashes in their case! This will keep them safe, and help them keep their shape
When properly cared for, your Youthphoria magnetic lashes are reusable 30-60 times
Do not use makeup remover or micellar water to clean the lashes
Do not soak the lashes
To increase longevity, don't apply mascara directly to them - apply to natural lashes first, allow to dry, then apply your Youthphoria Lashes
Replace lashes more frequently during treatment to maintain optimal hygiene
Do not use false lashes during MRI scans or where wearing magnetic products would be contraindicated

Safety and Ingredients

Created by our pharmacist, cosmetic chemist and naturopath, our products are completely safe and made to Australia's strict quality and safety standards.
