Effective and painless

This lash glue ticks most of the boxes for me except for three: scent, application method and waiting time.

I prefer to use the Duo lash glue in Dark because it looks more natural against dark lashes and there's no ugly white blobs to ruin your eye makeup you've worked so hard to perfect haha.

What I like about this glue is that it's strong enough to keep your fake lashes on until you gently pull them off without pulling out your real ones.It is tacky enough that you can pull the glue off of your fake lashes without ruining them so you reuse them. At first I scoffed at the price for this tiny tube but it lasts me for well over a year but will obviously depend on usage.

The scent seriously smells like fish which goes away once you wear your fake lashes but jeepers sometimes I wonder what other foul smelling things I'm willing to put on my face.

With the application of glue you have to squeeze the product onto the lash strip and if you're new to this you're looking at big blobs. This can lead to a bit of stinging but it's not life threatening. There is no angled tip to assist in the application you just squeeze and hope you can get a nice thin layer - if you're in a rush - forget it.

The waiting time is what probably annoys me most. Once you've applied the glue you have to wait 30 seconds or longer until the glue becomes tacky to place on your top lash line - who has 30 seconds to spare when you're in a rush? It's interesting because Ardell lash glue ticks these 3 boxes but fails to tick the others. If I had to choose I would still go with Duo because removing your lashes does not hurt with this glue.

Tips: I like to apply a thin layer to the lash strip but 2 blobs in each corner to ensure it doesn't lift.

One of my favourite glues!

I'm useless at putting on fake lashes so I need all the help I can get. This is incredibly longlasting and really keeps thick heavy lashes on all day. It smells quite weird when it first comes out of the tube but the smell goes away really quickly. If you are having issues getting your lashes to last, then add this to your list!

Only glue I use

After hearing countless gurus talk about this lash glue I decided to pick it up from beautybliss. The first thing I noticed was that it wasn't the easiest to apply to the lashes. The tube squeezed out a lot of glue on my lashes which meant I couldn't use those lashes that day. I was disappointed but then used a toothpick to evenly apply the glue and it worked wonders!

I waited for the glue to get tacky (which took ages), I noticed that this one dried evenly so I wouldn't have half the lash dry and half still sticky with glue. It was super easy to apply my lashes with this glue and they lasted all through the day and night! They only came off when I wanted them to and it was super painless for my eyes. The glue was also super easy to clean off my lashes which meant I could use them more than just a few times!

I'd definitely recommend this glue to anyone starting out with false lashes as it's super easy to use and doesn't make for a messy application.

Tips: Don't apply straight from the tube

Hell yes best eyelash glue

Another staple in my kit. DUO is the bomb, I've had to use other glues when I had run out and they don't hold nearly as well. I've also had other MUA ask to use it when on shoots cause of it working better then their own.

The latex in it causes it's horrible smell but there's not much you can do about that. Hold > smell. Just be careful you aren't allergic to latex first. I've never had an issue though.

It dries clear which is great too, it's easy to move around if you mess up the placement of your eyelashes, I never freak out about screwing up my eye work when I use it with my eyelashes.

More than worth it! best eyelash glue

Tips: Use the end of your brush to apply the glue to the lash, you have more control and use less product.

Great, Impressive!

Great eyelash adhesive. It's my second I have ever tried, but I know a glue that makes your faux lashes stay where they are for an impressive period of time is well...impressive! I have noticed that the white that dries clear doesn't dry completely clear. Which is alright if you are slathering on eyeliner anyway. But I will be trying the dark out of curiosity. *Overall, I highly recommend.

Lashes stuck on good

Love the feel of the packaging with its little details, love how it's a squeeze tube and not a brush. Keeps your lashes on perfectly, I like to use matte black eyeshadow to help hide the glue once it's on as this glue dries a little shiny which can look odd instead of flawless.

Tips: Do not leave near the sun as product be destroyed by the heat and will not stick or glue anything

Does what it says.

This glue comes in black and white (which dries clear). I have used both. Prefer the clear because sometimes I make mistakes with the black one and it ruins my eyeshadow. It comes in an approximately 3 inch long tube.

It comes with a long nozzle. I used to apply it directly to the lashes and used the nozzle to spread the glue. Also tried putting a blob on my hand and running the lashes through it. After that leave for a bit to do other bits of makeup because it takes a while to get tacky.

Once applied to the lashline I like to go over with the eyeliner again so the glue doesnt show. Once on it stays on till you take it off. Peels away very easily and you can use the lashes again after taking the glue off. Its the only one I have used other than the ones that come with some of the lashes so I dont have much to compare but I will continue using Duo.

Tips: Wait for it to really get tacky

Stick

My go to glue when applying my falsies, not only that but I've also used to to glue the wind back in for the window shades to open and close and 2 months later it still holding on.

Tips: Awesome product

A staple for falsies!

Ever since I started wearing falsies this year I've been trying to find a good eyelash glue so I won't have to use the mini little bottle that you usually get with the eyelashes. I heard tons of good comments about this so I thought I'd try it out. I bought both the clear one and the black one. This one squeezes out really easily and is quite thin. It's easy to control and spread, and doesn't get 'globs' even after being opened for a good couple of weeks. This is easy to remove and the glue dissolves when I hold an eye makeup remover wipe on my eyes for a while. Bought this on ebay for around $5 and have bought another 3 since I started using it!

Accurately glued

I purchased a few cheap pairs of false lashes from the warehouse to practice application with. I couldn't understand for the life of me why they were not sticking to my eye lids properly

Someone suggested it might be the glue. So on a recommendation I looked into this glue and read the reviews.

With glowing reviews I purchased a tube from an online beauty store for $9 USD. And man am I glad I did!

The white tube is sturdy and the wee nozzle end is easy to get the glue from. Too easy in fact. The glue is white and quite a runny consistency so running the glue along the flash lash isn't ideal, it's quite messy. So I put a strip on the back of my hand and use a cotton bud to transfer it onto the false eyelash.

Make sure you wait for the glue to dry and go tacky before applying, this honestly makes such a huge difference! This glue dries clear and sticks amazingly well. You have enough time to move the lash around before it sets but you do need to work quickly otherwise once it's stuck and you pull it you'll find you need to re apply it as it won't re stick.

Amazing stick,amazing lasting power all round great glue but oh so hard to wash off!

This does take some elbow grease to get off your skin. I will continue to use this product but with the consistency I would love to see it come out with a brush design
