Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Lash Glue
Finding the right lash adhesive can be confusing with so many options. Consider these key factors when shopping:
- Drying Time: Fast-drying glues (1-2 seconds) work best for experienced technicians while medium-drying options (3-4 seconds) give beginners more control.
- Humidity Compatibility: Some formulas work better in humid air, while others perform in drier environments. Match your lash adhesive to your typical conditions.
- Retention Needs: Think about how long you want lashes to last. Daily wear falsies need adhesive strength, which is different from semi-permanent extensions.
- Sensitivity Concerns: If you or your clients have sensitive eyes, look for gentler formulations that cause less irritation.
- Professional vs Personal Use: Professional adhesives offer a stronger hold but require more skill to apply properly.

Get the Most from Your Lash Adhesive
Follow these simple tips for the best results:
- Always shake your glue before using it.
- Apply a fresh glue drop every half hour during application.
- Store your adhesive in a cool, dry place - never in sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Remember that humidity significantly affects how your lash glue performs. On humid days, you might need to adjust your technique or use a dehumidifier.
- In very dry conditions, a humidifier can help create the ideal environment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Eyelash Glue
How long is the shelf life of unopened eyelash glue?
Unopened adhesives typically have a shelf life of 6-12 months when stored properly. Keep containers away from exposed heating elements and direct sunlight to maintain effectiveness. Proper storage is essential for preserving the chemical properties and will save you money by preventing premature deterioration.
What's the difference between eyelash glue for professional use versus personal use?
Professional-grade adhesives offer stronger hold and longer retention but require more precision during application. These formulations are designed for eyelash extensions used by experienced lash technicians. Personal-use adhesives are gentler, easier to remove, and more forgiving - ideal for beginners applying false eyelashes at home.
Can I wear mascara with false eyelashes applied using your glue?
You can apply mascara to natural lashes before attaching falsies, but avoid applying it to the false eyelashes themselves as it can damage them. For eyelash extensions, mascara should be avoided completely as it can break down the adhesive bond and affect retention.
Are your adhesives suitable for strip lashes or only for eyelash extensions?
Our range includes adhesives for both strip lashes and eyelash extensions. Strip lash adhesives typically dry clear and offer shorter wear time, which is perfect for daily use. Extension adhesives provide stronger hold and longer retention for semi-permanent wear. Both types maintain effectiveness when stored properly.
How do I improve my application technique for better results?
Perfecting your application technique requires practice and patience. Apply a thin line of adhesive to the band of false eyelashes or a small drop for extensions. Wait until the glue becomes tacky before application. Work in a blocked-off area free from drafts for better precision.
What should I do if eyelash glue irritates my skin or eyes?
If irritation occurs, remove the adhesive immediately using a proper lash remover or oil-based makeup remover. Rinse with cold water and avoid rubbing the affected area. Some sensitivity is common, but persistent irritation may indicate an allergy to ingredients in lash adhesives.
Do you offer express shipping for urgent orders?
Yes! We provide express shipping options to both Australia and New Zealand. For Australian customers, express shipping typically delivers in 1-3 business days to most metropolitan areas, while standard shipping takes 2-6 business days. We also offer free standard shipping on Australian orders over $150 (some exclusions apply). Please check our shipping page for detailed pricing and delivery information.
How can I ensure the strongest hold from my eyelash adhesive?
For maximum strength, ensure your workspace has optimal humidity (40-60%). Clean natural lashes thoroughly before application to remove oils. Apply fresh glue drops during lengthy sessions. Store adhesive away from exposed heat sources and air when not in use - these essential practices maximise bond strength.
