Masters warn those clients who are chasing cheapness that in order to achieve a flawless result, you need a good glue for eyelash extensions. Its composition must meet certain requirements, with which we will acquaint you.
What should be the glue
First of all, like any product, it should not be expired. The shelf life of eyelash extension glue causes a lot of controversy on the Web and in various forums. How it should be stored is also an ambiguous question. It is only known for certain that the period should be indicated on the bottle or packaging. It is worth noting here that the dates marked on the adhesive are relevant only if stored correctly.
How notspoil the remedy
The composition of eyelash extension glue implies its storage as follows:
- Exclusively at a temperature of 10 to 15 degrees, that is, for example, in a cool room, but not in the refrigerator.
- In a tightly sealed vial.
- Do not allow moisture to get inside. Conscientious manufacturers supplement packaging with silica gel, which absorbs liquid that may form near the storage location.
- Do not leave the vial exposed to sunlight.
The most responsible masters do not use glue if it was opened more than a month ago or if its appearance is noticeably worse.
Composition classification
Glue can be classified according to various criteria:
- By color: black, white, transparent.
- Consistency: liquid and thick.

Depending on the chemical composition, eyelash extension adhesives are divided into:
- Compounds containing rubber powder. They usually have a high drying rate, are comfortable in texture, but contain formaldehyde. Experts recommend shaking the bottle before use, as sediment often appears at the bottom.
- Glue-resin is distinguished by natural ingredients and a thick consistency, due towhich is not so easy to use. The advantages include the absence of a pungent odor, which is characteristic of the previous version. In the reviews of experts, one more advantage is noted - economical consumption due to the high degree of viscosity.
- The best option in terms of smell and drying speed is called glue for eyelash extensions with cyanoacrylate in the composition. It is preferable to the first two options, because it is more liquid in consistency. It is classified as hypoallergenic and is recommended for use on sensitive skin.
