Strip eyelash adhesive

Types of strip eyelash adhesives

An strip eyelash adhesive is a product that helps to attach false lashes to the eyelids. They come in different types, which include the following:

• Clear glue

  Clear glue dries clear and is invisible. It is hard to see the glue mark after putting on the lashes. This makes it look like the false lashes are the only ones on the eyelashes. This glue works with any strip lash and is a good choice for users who do not want to see glue marks after putting on the lashes. However, it takes a longer time to dry than other types of glue.

• Dark glue

  Dark glue dries to a dark color. It is ideal for users whose lashes blend in with dark eyeliner. It helps to create a seamless look for those who use dark eyeliner. The dark glue makes the lash band look like it is part of the eyeliner. However, it is not ideal for users who have light-colored eyeliners or those who use a different color of eyeliner.

• Waterproof glue

  Waterproof lash glue is ideal for users who sweat a lot or live in humid places. It will keep the lashes in place, and the glue will not come off due to water or sweat. Waterproof glue is also ideal for users who want to use lashes that last a long time. The glue works well with those kinds of lashes. However, it is hard to remove waterproof lashes. Users may need to use oil-based makeup removers to take off waterproof lashes.

• Premium glue

  Premium glue is a high-end product that costs more than the other types of glue. It is usually made from high-quality materials, and the glue will last for a long time. The premium glue is ideal for users who want to have a long-lasting hold. It is also suitable for those who want to have a strong bond between the lashes and the eyelids. Premium glue is a good option for users who use lashes often.

• Regular glue

  Regular glue is affordable and easy to find. It is a good choice for users who want to use false lashes occasionally. This kind of glue can be found in drugstores and beauty supply stores. Regular glue is a good choice for first-time users. It is also good for those who do not use lashes often and may not need to use other kinds of glue.

How to choose strip eyelash adhesives

Wholesale buyers have a wide variety of lash glue strips to choose from. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right product.

• Type of lashes

  Strip lash glue can hold many kinds of lashes, but it works best on mink, silk, and synthetic lashes. Mink fur is best for holding glue because it is lightweight and has a natural look. Buyers who sell these kinds of lashes should get glue that is specially made for them. The formula will give the best hold and comfort for users.

• Hold time

  Consider the desired hold time for the lashes. Some users want them to last all day, while others want them to be temporary for a night out. Choose glue with a hold time that matches the lashes. For example, glue that holds the lashes for 8 hours is suitable for all day use. Those that hold them for 24 hours or more are good for users who do not like to remove the lashes at night. Lashes that last 4 to 6 hours are good for users who only need them for a short time.

• Glue formulas

  Think about the kind of formula that sells well. There are two main types - waterproof and oil-based. Waterproof formulas are strong and can withstand sweat, tears, and humidity without coming off. They are a good choice for customers who have oily skin or live in humid places. Oil-based formulas provide a gentle hold that is easy to remove at the end of the day. They work well for customers who want to change their lashes often. Oil-based glue can come off with eye makeup remover. Stock both types of formulas for different kinds of users.

• Retail prices

  Consider the retail price of the glue. The price depends on the brand and size of the bottle. Small bottles are good for testing a new product or for users who do not use a lot of glue. Large bottles are better for users who use a lot of glue and need it to last a long time. Compare the prices of different brands to find the best value for the desired quality.

How to use, install, and product safety

This guide provides simple steps for using strip eyelash glue and tips for ensuring users' safety and the product's longevity.

How to use

• Prepare the lashes:

  Carefully remove the strip lashes from the packaging with tweezers or fingers. Gently flex the lash band to make it more pliable for easier application along the lash line. Check if it fits the length of the user's eyelash. If it is long, trim it to the desired length.

• Prepare the adhesive:

  Shake the glue bottle for a few seconds. Open the bottle and pour a small amount on a clean surface, like a hand or a glass plate.

• Apply the adhesive:

  Use a thin tool, like a cotton swab, to apply the glue on the lash band. Spread it evenly but ensure it is not too much.

• Wait:

  Let the adhesive sit for a few seconds until it gets tacky. This helps the lashes bond better and prevents them from shifting.

• Apply the lashes:

  Using tweezers or fingers, place the strip lash as close as possible to the user's natural lash line. Start from the inner corner and work toward the outer. Press down gently to secure it.

• Adjust and hold:

  Tweezers can be used to adjust the position of the lashes. Hold the lashes in place for a few seconds so the glue can stick properly.

• Finish up:

  Use an applicator tool to blend the false lashes with the natural ones. Apply mascara to the lashes for a perfect finish. If necessary, use a small makeup remover to clean excess glue from the eyelid.

Product Safety

• Check the ingredients:

  Use adhesives with safe ingredients for sensitive skin. Avoid those that contain formaldehyde, harsh chemicals, or anything the user is allergic to. Consider using products with soothing substances like aloe vera or hypoallergenic formulas.

• Conduct a patch test:

  Before using the glue on the eye area, do a patch test on another part of the skin. Apply a small amount and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. This helps ensure the product is safe for the user's skin.

• Follow expiration dates:

  Always check the expiration date before using the product. Using it past that date may not give the expected result or be safe.

• Use it in the right way:

  Follow the manufacturer's instructions for applying and removing the adhesive. Avoid putting the glue directly on the user's skin or in their eyes. Proper use reduces risks of irritation, infection, or other complications.

• Ensure proper ventilation:

  Use the adhesive in a well-ventilated room to prevent inhaling fumes. Proper ventilation reduces exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.

• Avoid contact with eyes:

  Keep the adhesive away from the eyes. If it gets in the eyes, immediately flush with water and seek medical advice.

Q&A

Q1: What is the difference between strip eyelash glue and brush-on eyelash glue?

A1: The difference between strip and brush-on eyelash glue is in their application process. One can easily apply strip glue to the lash band, making it a quick and easy option for users who wear false eyelashes regularly. On the other hand, brush-on glue provides a more secure and personalized fit by allowing users to apply the glue directly to their natural lashes. This also helps to prevent an excess of glue during application, which may cause irritation or clumping of eyelashes.

Q2: Can strip eyelash glue be used more than once?

A2: In most cases, strip eyelash glue is designed for single use. However, some types of strip eyelash adhesives may be used more than once, depending on the kind of glue and how well it adheres to the lashes. Users may reuse their lashes if the strip lash glue still feels sticky and adheres properly. However, users cannot use brush-on and tube eyelash glues more than once.

Q3: How to store strip eyelash glue properly?

A3: It is important to store strip eyelash glue properly to ensure it lasts long. Users should store the glue in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Exposure to heat and sunlight can damage the glue and make it less effective. Always store the glue upright to prevent leakage and ensure the cap is tightly secured to avoid drying out the adhesive. Proper storage will help ensure the glue will be effective when needed.
