Innovations
Despite the fact that eyelashes have been growing in Russia for several years, technologies change over time. Instead of previously proposed integral overhead elements, today preference is given to beam or single fragments. This option looks natural and harmoniously overlays natural eyelashes. Masters warn those clients who are chasing cheapness that in order to achieve a perfect result they need good glue for eyelash extensions. Its composition must meet certain requirements, with which we will acquaint you.
What glue should be
First of all, like any product, it should not be expired. The shelf life of glue for eyelash extensions causes a lot of controversy on the Web and in various forums. How it should be stored is also a controversial issue. It is only known for certain that the period must be indicated on the bottle or packaging. It is worth noting here that the dates indicated on the adhesive are relevant only if stored properly.
How not to spoil the product
The composition of the glue for eyelash extension involves 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 closed bottle.
- Do not allow moisture to enter. Conscientious manufacturers understaff packaging with a silica gel absorbing liquid that can form near the storage location.
- Do not leave the bubble on a surface 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 worsened.
Classification of compounds
Glue can be divided according to various signs:
- By color: black, white, transparent.
- Consistency: liquid and thick.
- By polymerization classes: premium, ultra, extra.
- By structure: adhesive-resin, latex, silicone, rubber.
- By harmfulness to the body: dangerous and safe.
Depending on the chemical composition, eyelash extension adhesives are divided into:
- Compositions containing rubber powder. Usually they have a high drying rate, are convenient in consistency, but have formaldehyde in their composition. Experts recommend shaking the bottle before use, since most often a sediment appears at the bottom.
- Glue-resin is characterized by natural components and a thick consistency, due to which it 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 specialists, one more advantage is noted - economical consumption due to a high degree of viscosity.
- The best option for smell and drying speed is called glue for eyelash extensions with cyanoacrylate in the composition. It is preferable to the first two options, since it is more liquid in consistency. It is classified as a hypoallergenic drug and is recommended for use with sensitive skin.
The best brands of rubber powder based products
This composition of glue for eyelash extensions is most suitable for fixing beams.
Ideal in this category are:
- Duo Eyelash Adhesive White / Clear is a transparent version with a slightly white tint with good reviews from the masters.

Glue resin

Beginners are not advised to apply this glue, since it is thick, due to which it is applied heavily.
- TNL Premium is used for ciliary augmentation. Like the previous option, it is recommended for use by specialists, as it has a dense consistency. The use of a degreaser, in the opinion of professionals, is mandatory in this case. The composition refers to waterproof and quick-drying.
