This glue is one of the best I have used. It can be a bit tricky to apply thinly and evenly due to the size of the nozzle end but a make up artist recommended using a toothpick to spread out the glue which I found works well.
The glue goes on white but dries clear so you can't see it underneath the lashes. It's non irritating too so I can use confidently on my sensitive skin. It's easy to remove too. I gently place a hot facecloth on my eyes and press down before peeling of my false eyelashes.
Duo Adhesive sticks all types of lashes, from cheap to expensive, and they stay stuck! The glue is latex based (which can smell “fishy” to some people) so please don’t use it if you have an allergy to latex. If you’re not sure, do a patch test before using.
I found that the large nozzle on the squeeze tube makes it difficult to apply the glue straight from the tube without it turning messy, so I prefer to use a clean toothpick to lift a small amount of glue from the tube before transferring it onto the eyelash strip.
I like to leave the lashes to “rest” with the glue on them for 30 to 60 seconds before applying them, as this allows the glue to become tacky and they tend to stick better. Don’t worry about the glue being white, it does dry clear and can’t be seen once the lashes have been applied and the glue has dried completely. I do like to go over the edge of the lashes with a gel or liquid eyeliner once the glue has dried, just to create a nice neat line and cover any glue residue.
Back when I was still using the little (unreliable) tubes of glue that came in the boxes with most eyelashes, I found that the lashes had a tendency to become unstuck at the worst of times, and even had one fall off in the middle of a corporate Christmas dinner party! Since that unpleasant little experience, Duo Adhesive is now my go-to eyelash glue.
Tips: It can also be used to stick diamanté, little crystals or any other decorative embellishments onto your skin.
