Best eyelash glue for sensitive eyes

THE best eyelash glue should stay on for hours and make putting on your falsies super easy.

But how do you choose one that's suitable for you?

Well for starters, if you have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses, you might want to look for a latex-free option as these won't irritate your eyes.

The type of lash you're putting on matters too as some glues are designed for singles and some are for strip lashes.

The colour is another important consideration - clear glues are great for newbies who might make a mess while dark tones are more suitable for those who are a dab hand at putting on falsies and wants it to look pristine.

Another tip for those not used to wearing falsies: make sure you get a glue that's a bit slower to dry so you have more time to push your lashes into position.

Nobody knows more about false eyelashes than the lash queen herself - Huda Kattan.

The former beauty blogger soared to success when she launched her first superior-quality handmade false eyelash line under the Huda Beauty brand.

So it follows that she also knows a thing or two about how to make them stay on for hours. Her lashes and lash glue are loved by beauty insiders worldwide.

Why? For starters, the glue is black so it blends seamlessly with your lashes.

Secondly, it’s completely waterproof so won’t budge if you blub at a wedding.

Thirdly, it dries really quickly so you don’t have that moment when you’ve got your lashes in the perfect spot only for them to start sliding around everywhere because the adhesive is still wet.

And finally, it’s super-strong so won’t fail you halfway through the night. That's all the boxes well and truly ticked.

While many eyelash glues are catered towards applying strip lashes as well as individual lashes, some adhesives are formulated just for individuals.

The reason? Individual lashes are far more fiddly to apply, and are often expected to stay on for longer than a strip lash - so a super-strength glue is required.

This eyelash glue is just that. So strong, in fact, that it claims your lashes will stay on for weeks.

The reality is more like one to two weeks, but that’s still a high-performing at-home adhesive. It is also available in black.
