Awesome.

As a complete beginner to falsies, I was terrified! I had tried in the past and couldn't get the application right. This time I bought the duo lash glue to try and experiment with. First thing I've learnt is you don't need much of this product! If you use too much, it takes forever to dry but also you can see the glue on your lash band! I use just enough to cover the lash band, making sure to have extra on the inner and outer corner as that's where they seem to pop off more, wait 30 sec for the glue to go tacky and then apply. It will take a few goes/practice runs to get used to how tacky the glue needs to be, and how much glue to use but once you get used to it, your lashes will hold all day! I've worn these for a 10 hour workday and got sweaty as and they didn't come off! Wouldn't use anything else!

Tips: A little goes along, wait 30 secs for it to go tacky before you apply your lashes.

Best False Lash Glue!

A great formula that is easy to apply and very durable when wearing.

Applies white and dries clear so there is no stress if you accidently apply a little much or need to adjust your lashes slightly once on the skin.

A little bit of this lash glue goes a very long way you don't need much!

Tips: Let the lash glue get tacky once it is applied on the lash band for around 30 to 60 seconds. That way the lashes will apply and stick on the skin easily.

Great

Admittedly, this is the only eyelash glue I've tried but I'm impressed with it and have repurchased 3 times and don't plan on trying something else because this does the job so well. It dries quickly but not too quickly, no strong smell, has a good hold but when it's time to take the false lashes off you can easily remove without ripping lashes off and comes off with makeup remover. Oh and it's a good price too. A great product

Must need for beginners

When I first started wearing falsies, I had went online and checked reviews for glues and this popped up. Went to the chemist and brought it and Oml I did not regret it. Still using the Duo adhesive glue till this day. And my lashes stay on the whole day. So if you need a glue for your lashes this is the one for sure!

Staple!

Love that this comes with a little applicator for easy use! It doesn’t have a strong smell like other products, and doesn’t dry out too quickly either

I havent used anything else since!

I have only fully ventured into false eyelashes for maybe the last 1-2 years. I had tried using them years and years ago on and off but I just found that the glue that came with the lashes just never lasted, they would either come away at the corners or one if not both lashes would come off within 20 mins of having them on. So hence why I gave up, Im sure we all knew the struggle ;)

This is a product I never regret buying! I saw all the girls on Youtube using it so I was very eager to give it a go. I did end up purchasing mine from a MAC store so it was a little bit more expensive than what is listed here but it was soo worth it!!

This product definately has more pros than what there are cons. The two cons I have about this product is the packaging, would be awesome if it had a brush applicator as sometimes you can waste a bit of product or it gets messy. The other is the smell of it, after a while it isnt too pleasent, kindve smells fishy almost but that is only when you first open it, I personally cant smell the glue once the lashes are on my eyes.

Despite the cons though, I still love this product!! You can get a white or dark glue formulation, I got the white glue and YES! it does dry completely clear! It has never irritated my eyes or my friends eyes for that matter which is awesome! Annoying when you are almost finished and then you have tears running down your face from an irritation... Frustrating! And holy moley!! Does this stuff really stick!! Im sorry for the (!!) but it really does! Even on a big night out right through untill the next morning!..... I know I know going to bed with make up on but sometimes it just has to be done :P This stuff is definatley great for getiing another days wear out of your individual clusters too! (shock face..)

So Ill say it again.. This product is amazing!! So worth the buy in my opinion, I havent had to look at anything else since. Mind you I would like to giving others a go just because you never know but Im not rushing :) This product is incredible sturdy, doesnt irritate, drys clear and is super long lasting, will take forever to finish the tube. What else do you need?! ;) xx

Tips: Latex Allergy, because some can have an allergy to latex I just have to stress to do a test patch before you go applying it to your eyes!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE because this product is amazing as Ive stated and I would hate it if you girls werent warned about this first! Serverity of allergy can vary just like anything else but test yourself by trying on latex gloves or popping a little bit of glue behind your ear to see if you react, dont worry it doesnt have to be there for long as a reaction should accure straight away!

This is another thing I can not stress enough and it is amazing at how much easier this will make your application, ready for it? You prob already know but DO LET THE GLUE GET TACKY!! This saves alot of time and alot of mess, trust me! Depending on how much you apply allow 30 sec to a minute for the glue to get tacky, the colour may change (look more transparent) which is another good sign and the lash will just pop straight on! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! :) x

Uhh how could I forget to mention! If you do have a latex allergy, dont stress. Im pretty sure they do a latex free formulation as well :) Uhh and.. be super careful when it comes to removal of your lashes, heaps of water and eye make up remover!! xx

8+ hours of stick

I always used to use the lash glue that came with the lashes until I'd read reviews on Duo after researching how to apply false lashes as I absolutely SUCKED at it. I eventually purchased some and I'm so glad I did.

It comes in a resealable squeezy tube which is convenient as one tube will last ages. It comes out a thick white liquid which dries completely clear (you can also buy this in a dark formula which dries black). It smells faintly fishy when you first squeeze it out but not nearly as bad as some other lash glue's I've used.

The way I've found to best use this is put a dollop on a clean flat surface (i.e cardboard or makeup compact lid) and then either run the lash through it or use a cotton tip to coat the lashband. Wait for the glue to go tacky (~30secs with this glue) and apply. Using this glue I find that I get at least 8hrs wear and if I coat the lashband properly it stays stuck down.

The only con is that I find if you only use it once in a blue moon, it can separate very slightly and then it doesn't stick as well so it pays to mix it up with a cotton tip before using if this is the case - very easy fix though.

I would recommend this glue for anyone (especially beginners) using falsies. Best glue I've found so far!

It has a reputation for a reason!

Great all rounder eyelash adhesive. Dries clear, stays put, and has a great tackiness to it that means lashes stick down on the first try. Holds lashes firmly in place and lasts a heck of a lot better than any adhesives I've had that come with the lashes (I think they're usually just too liquidy, not quite tacky or viscous enough).

Tips: I find it difficult having to control the flow of the glue with how hard you're squeezing the tube at the same time as trying to get an even amount across the lash strip (to be fair, I'm completely uncoordinated), so personally I squeeze a wee bit out onto the tip of a tooth pick and use that to spread it onto the lash strip!

Best i have tried

stays on all day, great with all lashes ive tried it with.works a million times better than the glue that usually come with lashes when you purchase them, only fault is that it can be tricky to remove, sometimes painful but this also depends on the lashes u use it with. definitely recommend.

Tips: dry the glue for a minute before applying allows it to get tacky and apply alot easier + less drying time

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.
