How to properly store eyelash glue

When it comes to high-quality eyelash extensions, you have to be able to rely on your materials.

There is nothing worse than realizing during a session that the eyelash glue is no longer working as well as it should.

In the following text we explain how you can avoid such situations by storing your eyelash glue correctly.

Which eyelash glue lasts the longest?

Eyelash glues generally all have a very similar composition. Almost all of them have cyanoacrylate as their main ingredient . Therefore, all eyelash glues have a roughly equal shelf life when stored correctly.

However, it is important to mention that you should only use high-quality adhesives from trustworthy companies. Because a bad product remains a bad product, no matter how much effort you put into storing it.

Pay attention to the expiration date:

Each adhesive has an expiration date , which, depending on the manufacturer, is between 6-12 months after production . Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.

Make sure you dispose of your glue as soon as it expires.

The adhesive performance of the eyelash glue decreases rapidly and this can not only lead to unhappy clients, but also to very unpleasant situations during the eyelash extension procedure.

How long does an opened eyelash glue last?

Once opened, the glue will generally last for 1.5 - 2 months . It is best to stick a small sticker on the back of the bottle of eyelash glue to write the date of opening .

Store eyelash glue in the fridge?

The assumption that the shelf life of eyelash glue improves if you store it in a refrigerator is unfortunately incorrect .

The strong temperature differences can damage the base material of the adhesive.

Condensation can also occur, which removes water from the adhesive and renders it unusable.

Store the eyelash glue in a cool and dry place!

Depending on the manufacturer, a storage temperature of 15-20 degrees Celsius is specified. If you have a relatively cool place to store your adhesives, don't forget to bring them to room temperature (optimally 18-24 degrees Celsius) before starting work.

Avoid sun exposure

In general, eyelash glue should never be exposed to extreme temperatures.

So neither where it is particularly warm, nor where it is particularly cold. So places exposed to sunlight, near a radiator or refrigerator are out of the question.

Keep the glue clean:

When storing your glue, make sure it is kept upright . This will prevent air bubbles from collecting inside the bottle or clogging the spout (spout/tip of the glue bottle).

After work, don’t forget to clean the nozzle with a cloth to remove any glue residue .

To extend the lifespan of your eyelash glue, you can use thermal insulation bags.

These can protect the adhesives from negative influences in unfavorable environments.

By following the tips and tricks above, you can reduce the risk of an adhesive that doesn't stick.

However, the conditions during eyelash extension are also extremely important so that your eyelash glue sticks the eyelashes permanently and efficiently.
