Take eyelash glue for example. Extra care needs to be taken when it comes to putting adhesive close to your eyes.
To help you figure out the world of eyelash glue, we have a few pointers to help guide you. These tips will not only help you buy the best eyelash glue for your eyelashes but also the nitty-gritty details you should note.
Here’s what you should know about eyelash glue:
- When it comes to eyelash glue, it is never a one-size-fits-all situation. You have to consider the sensitivity of your eyes, how heavy the lashes are and even the material the eyelash is made of.

- Eyelash glues come in many types. There are brush-on applicators, tubes, strips, water-proof, clear, white, black, pigmented and even latex-free glues.
- Before you buy any eyelash glue, figure out if you are allergic to anything in the eyelash glue composition. If you’re allergic to latex, then go for the latex-free glue etc.
- Latex-free eyelash glue is great for sensitive eyes. The latex can be harsh on the eyes, so going for a latex-free glue will give you a much easier experience.

- If you know you tear up easily, stick with an eyelash glue that is waterproof. They don’t all withstand water, so check the label well before you buy.
- Make sure to shake your eyelash glue before using it. The temperature in the room you keep it in can affect the consistency of the glue. Shaking it will help it along to working as it should.
- Before you apply the lash glue on the band of the eyelash, check the substance on the back of your hand. if it looks weird or separated, try again and monitor it.
- Always clean the nozzle of the eyelash glue. After each application, there might be some transferred dirt on the nozzle. Cleaning with a wet wipe or dry tissue will go a long way in ensuring your eyes are safe.
