Eyelash Extension Adhesive Guide: How to Use It Safely and Effectively
To achieve the perfect eyelash extension result, the quality and application of eyelash glue is crucial. At Swaniya Lashes, we know that glue is more than just glue – it’s the foundation of customer loyalty, customer satisfaction and lash health. This blog post explains to eyelash stylists and beauty enthusiasts how to properly choose, handle and use eyelash glue.
What Is Eyelash Extension Adhesive?
Eyelash glue is a fast-drying adhesive that adheres false lashes to natural lashes. The main ingredient is cyanoacrylate, which provides strong, long-lasting hold. Some formulas contain carbon black for darker shades.

How Humidity and Temperature Affect Lash Adhesive
The curing speed of eyelash glue is directly affected by the environment:
|
Condition |
Effect on Glue |
Solution |
|
High Humidity |
Glue cures too fast |
Use glue for high humidity or dehumidifier |
|
Low Humidity |
Glue cures too slow |
Use a humidifier or switch to faster glue |
|
High Heat |
Shortens glue lifespan |
Store glue in a cool, dark place |
For best results, always work in 40–60% humidity and 18–24°C.
How to Store Lash Extension Glue Correctly
Store in an airtight container with silicone.
Store upright in a cool, dry drawer out of direct sunlight.
Once opened, consume within 4-6 weeks.
Shake vigorously before each use (at least 30 seconds).
Swaniya Pro Tip: Use a glue stirrer to ensure even distribution of the formula.
Best Practices for Applying Lash Glue
Apply new glue every 15-20 minutes.
Dip only the base of the lash fan into the glue.
Avoid applying too much glue to your natural lashes.
Carefully isolate each lash before applying.
Allow the lash to cure for 1-2 seconds before moving it.
Too much glue can result in sticky spots, poor adhesion, or irritation to the customer.
Signs of Expired or Compromised Glue
Watery or fibrous
Cloudy separation in the bottle
Odor or burning during use
If in doubt, dispose.
