8 best adhesives for eyelash extension

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

The history of eyelash extension began with the famous Maximilian Faktorovich (founder of the Max Factor cosmetic brand). To make the look more expressive, the actresses glued a small fringe to the eyelid on a thin thread. Decades later, Japanese experts invented the technique of bunched eyelash extension. And already in 2003, technologies have improved: eyelashes began to be extended separately.

How to choose an eyelash extension glue

The choice of glue for eyelash extension is just as important as the right technique and type of hair. When choosing an adhesive composition for work, you need to pay attention to the following product characteristics:

1. Hypoallergenicity. Building glue consists of many components. Each element can cause undesirable reactions in the eyes. Before starting work, you need to clarify whether the client is allergic to this or that component.
2. Colour. The product is available on the market in 2 colors: black and transparent. Black is used for regular, everyday extensions. With the help of transparent materials, you can do both traditional extensions and attach colored hairs and various decorative elements to eyelashes and facial skin.
3. Persistence. This indicator depends on the amount of cyanoacrylate in the composition. The more it is, the longer the cilia will hold. The average working time of the glue is 5 – 6 weeks, but some formulations allow you to wear cilia up to 2 months without correction.
4. Fixation speed. For inexperienced craftsmen, it is better to choose materials with a long solidification period of up to 30 seconds, so that there is time to correct mistakes. Experienced craftsmen prefer to work with instant compositions, where the fixation time is from 1 to 5 seconds. That can significantly reduce the time of the procedure.

We have compiled a rating of the best adhesive bases that have proven their quality and won recognition from most of the masters.
