Professional eyelash glue: The essential for the quality of eyelash extensions in the studio

Besides the right eyelashes, choosing the right glue is probably the most important decision when it comes to eyelash extensions. A good eyelash extension is only as strong as its weakest link.

Eyelash extensions with cheap eyelashes will not produce beautiful eyelash extensions, even with the best professional eyelash glue. The same applies to the glue:

The most beautiful eyelash fans are in vain if they do not adhere to the client's eyelashes due to the eyelash glue.

Contents of eyelash glue: All of our glues are based on cyanoacrylate and are therefore particularly long-lasting and harden quickly. Once the glue has set, it will hold the artificial eyelashes to the natural eyelashes for 6-8 weeks.

The remaining ingredients and their production are also very similar for most eyelash extension glues.

Find the right glue: what you should pay attention to

Since every eyelash stylist has a different style, it is especially important to work with an eyelash glue that suits your own workflow.

A good eyelash glue should not only work well and ensure that the eyelash extensions last a long time, but should also have as little impact as possible on the health of the client and stylist.

Finding the right eyelash glue for yourself can take years. That's why many eyelash artists stick with the same glue once they find one that they are comfortable with.

It is also difficult to use other people's results as a basis for choosing the adhesive for the job.

Because every stylist has different requirements, needs and experiences. That's why there is no eyelash glue that promises success for every stylist. Every eyelash glue has its advantages and has its own handling, application and needs.

What is the best eyelash glue for beginners?

Every eyelash glue in our range has a drying time specified. While professional glues dry faster, glues for beginners who are not yet so quick with tweezers can take up to 2 seconds to dry.

Pro tip: Make sure to isolate the client's individual eyelashes before dipping the eyelash fan into the glue. Otherwise, the glue will harden before you get it to the natural eyelashes.

Eyelash extensions require a lot of practice and experience. Using eyelash glue is also a skill that is acquired over many years. There is no such thing as eyelash glue that every beginner can handle. You need to be patient, develop your skills and get to know your glue.

Eyelash glue for the perfect eyelash extensions

Black vs. transparent:

Black eyelash glue is particularly suitable for black and brown eyelashes, while transparent eyelash glue is usually used for colored eyelashes. This ensures that the colored false eyelashes retain their color and thus ensure a rich and even end result.

Black eyelash glue contains carbon black dye - in rare cases this can cause reactions in allergy sufferers.

Curing and polymerization of eyelash glue:

We differentiate between curing and polymerization. While the eyelash glue appears to be “cured” after just 0.2 - 2 seconds, it continues to polymerize for up to 24 hours after the treatment. It is therefore important to pay particular attention to the eyelashes shortly after the treatment.

To ensure that clients are careful while sleeping and do not go swimming during this drying time, it is important to remind them of this again after the session.

Do I need other preparations to enhance the effect?

By using pre-treatment, micro-dust is removed from the eyelashes and they are degreased. This makes it easier to apply the eyelash glue and increases the durability of the lash extensions.

Primers also offer additional benefits when working: Primers open your clients’ eyelashes and thus ensure improved application.

If you want to further increase the durability and quality of your extensions, we recommend using such products.

Preparation for eyelash extension:

Shake the eyelash glue well before using it so that the contents are well mixed. If possible, hold the bottle of eyelash glue at your side.

To achieve an even better result, there are special shaking machines that help you shake the eyelash glue before use.

To maximize the effectiveness of the glue, bring it to room temperature before starting work.

Typical mistakes with eyelash glue

Storage:

Eyelash glue should not be stored at extremely low or extremely high temperatures. For optimal durability, it is recommended to store the glue in a cool, dark place.

Temperature and humidity:

The effectiveness of professional eyelash glue is very dependent on external circumstances. It is therefore always important to ensure that the room temperature and humidity are as optimal as possible.

Each glue has its own optimal conditions for maximum durability. However, it can be roughly said that a temperature of around 20-23 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 40-60% allow the eyelash glue to work best.

To ensure the perfect humidity in your studio, we recommend that you purchase a hygrometer .

Please note that eyelash glue used in suboptimal humidity conditions may result in a reduced wearing time of the eyelashes.

Tip: Before each eyelash extension, check the effect of the glue and change your choice to a different glue if necessary.

Frequently asked questions about eyelash glue

How do you remove eyelash glue?

Removing eyelash glue requires skill and experience as well as the right tools. A good remover is important to remove eyelash glue easily and without leaving any residue.

We differentiate between viscous cream removers and slightly less viscous gel removers. With both, it is of course particularly important to convey to your clients that their eyes should definitely be closed during removal.

What to do if you have an eyelash glue allergy

It is important to distinguish between eye irritation and an allergic reaction.

If an allergy is diagnosed, the eyelash extensions must be removed and, depending on the level and duration of the symptoms, medical advice may be sought.

Eyelash extensions can also be done with silicone-based eyelash glue. We cannot judge whether this causes less eye irritation and how long it lasts.

Professional tip: If your clients are allergic or have had an allergy to eyelash glue when getting eyelash extensions, try extending only 5 eyelashes first and see if they can cope with your eyelash glue and then observe how the condition of the eyes, eyelids and skin around the eyes changes.

What can you use instead of eyelash glue?

When it comes to professional eyelash extensions, there is currently no alternative to glue. For long-lasting eyelash extensions, there is no alternative to professional eyelash glue.

There are special lamps that harden glue using UV light. Adhesives are also used here - only here the glue does not react with oxygen but with UV.
