How to Choose the Best Lash Glue
Finding the best lash glue on the market involves understanding that no single option will work perfectly for everyone. This is because lash glues vary in their drying times, consistencies, and how they perform under different environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. Each individual may have unique preferences and requirements, making it essential to consider these factors when selecting the most suitable lash adhesive.
At Flawless Lashes by Loreta, we offer a diverse selection of lash glues to accommodate various needs. Throughout this blog, we'll discuss the top-performing adhesives and provide insights on selecting the most suitable one for you.
How to choose the right lash glue?
There are a few important things you need to think about carefully when choosing the right lash glue to make sure it works well and fits your needs.
- Experience: Different products cater to varying skill levels. Beginners should opt for easy-to-use options like Jetset lash adhesive, while experienced users can explore more complex products like Luminous clear adhesive.
- Type of False Eyelashes: Consider the type of lashes you work with (e.g., individual lashes) and choose adhesives with suitable applicators for ease of use.
- Speed: Check the curing time of the adhesive to align with your working pace and understand how environmental conditions can impact drying speed.
- Room Temperature and Humidity: Environmental factors significantly affect adhesive performance. Choose products tailored to your local climate (e.g., high humidity formulations for the UK).
- Ingredient List: Review the ingredient list to avoid allergens such as formaldehyde commonly found in some lash glues.
Why is lashing speed important when choosing a lash adhesive?
When choosing a lash adhesive, lashing speed is very important because it has a direct effect on how quickly and easily the lashes are applied.
How quickly an adhesive cures affects how quickly a lash artist can put on and bond extensions, which can affect how much work they get done and how happy their clients are. A shorter curing time also lowers the chance that the eyelashes will stick together or get out of place while they are being put on. To get perfect results, though, it's important to find the right balance between speed and accuracy.
Knowing how fast you're lashing and the conditions around you (like temperature and humidity) will help you choose an adhesive that works best with your method and improves the quality and speed of your work.
Why is humidity important when choosing a lash adhesive?
Humidity plays a critical role in the performance and effectiveness of lash adhesives due to its impact on the curing process. The level of humidity in the environment directly affects how quickly or slowly the adhesive dries and bonds the lashes.
For example, higher humidity can accelerate the curing time of certain adhesives, making them ideal for use in regions with moist climates or during humid weather conditions. On the other hand, lower humidity can slow down the curing process, requiring adhesives formulated specifically for drier environments.
To ensure lash extension bonding and longevity, choose a humidity-compatible lash adhesive. Adhesives drying too quickly or too slowly can cause poor adhesion, premature lash fall-out, or clumping if humidity is ignored. You can apply lashes consistently and reliably by choosing an adhesive for your humidity conditions.

Moreover, we counted on our Customers’ lash extension glue reviews and sale results. Here are some of our best lash glues:
1. JETSET PRO LASH ADHESIVE
Our top choice is Jetset pro lash adhesive as it is the easiest to work with, and it works well in different conditions. It works well in a variety of conditions if the lash technician understands how to adjust the glue amount based on the environment. This glue works best in conditions of high humidity.
Additionally, based on our customer eyelash extension glue reviews, our clients love this product as much as we do.
Due to the product’s thinner consistency, it dries very fast, and this is exactly what an experienced lash artist loves. As time is money, no one wants to sit around and wait while adhesive dries.
Even though the product performs best in higher humidity, you can make this glue work even in low humidity - all you need to do is pick up less glue.
If you’ll learn how to master it, it will truly become one of your best lash extension adhesives.

2. FAME LASH ADHESIVE
We only put Fame lash adhesive in the second place because it works best in lower humidity. And as our company is based in the UK, we experience extra high humidity daily. Therefore, this glue would dry before we even blink.
On the other hand, Fame is a true lifesaver when traveling to different climate zones or when the weather changes drastically.
Due to Fame’s medium viscosity, it dries slightly slower, but if humidity increases, it can be a speedy friend and cure super fast.

- Room humidity: 10-40%
- Room temperature: 20-22°C
Facts:
- Colour: black

*See bottom of bottle for manufacture and expiry dates.
Price:£30.50
3. Pulse LASH ADHESIVE
Pulse Lash Adhesive is the new kid on the block - and already proving incredibly popular because it is just so versatile.
If you’re a fast-working, experienced lash artist, you don’t want to be held back by slow drying glue when the humidity in your rooms goes up. Pulse Lash Glue dries fast in any humidity. The amount of glue that the artist picks up must be adjusted depending on the conditions, more in high humidity and less in low humidity.
It can save you money because there’s no need to stock up on different glues for different humidities - Pulse can do it all! Your glue drop will stay fresh for almost 2 hours, even when humidity levels are as high as 60%, meaning your bottle will last you longer, too.
And if that wasn’t enough, it’s suited to both Classic and Volume lashes, making it the ultimate all-rounder lash glue for professionals.
Key information about this product:
- Drying time: 0.5
- Room humidity: 25%-70%
- Room temperature: 20-22°C
- Colour: black
- Size: 5ml

*See bottom of bottle for manufacture and expiry dates.
Price:£30.50
4. Chameleon LASH ADHESIVE
There are some products that master lash artists love, but beginners find it difficult to work with. Beginners often struggle with glue application due to its very thin consistency, which requires some skill to pick up the correct amount of glue. Our Chameleon lash adhesive is one of such products.
Moreover, you should be aware that if the humidity drops below 60%, this product is extra tricky to work with.
However, if you are somewhere where the humidity is high, Chameleon is your go-to product.
In any case, we highly recommend this product as one of the best individual eyelash glues for skilled masters and experts only. For beginners, there are plenty of other products that would be much easier to work with.
Key information about this product:
- Drying time: 0.5-1s
- Room humidity: 40-70%
- Room temperature: 20-22°C
Facts:
- Colour: black
- Size: 5ml
- Strength: extremely strong
- Consistency: thin
- Shelf Life: 8 - 12 weeks from opening the bottle
*See bottom of bottle for manufacture and expiry dates.
Price:£30.50
5. Jetset LASH ADHESIVE
For many years, when the lash industry was only on the verge of expanding, Jetset lashes adhesive was the most wanted lash glue by lash beginners on the market.
It is still quite popular today, and the demand for this product is high. Jetset lash adhesive is, unlike Chameleon, an excellent product for beginners or anyone else who works in high humidity.
However, professional lashes artists should keep in mind that this product is an old generation adhesive that is thick and slower to work with than the previously mentioned products.
Key information about this product:
- Drying time: 2-3s
- Room humidity: 50-60%
- Room temperature: 18-22°C
Facts:
- Colour: black
- Size: 5ml
- Strength: strong
- Consistency: thick
- Shelf Life: 8 - 12 weeks
*See bottom of bottle for manufacture and expiry dates.
Price:£30.50
6. LUMINOUS CLEAR ADHESIVE
Last, but not least is the Luminous clear adhesive - a perfect product for lash artists that love leaving their comfort zone and experimenting!
This glue is an absolute pleasure to work with as even its medium viscosity (meaning, it should dry slower) dries fast and if you are a volume lash artist, you can see what happens with the Volume fan base, and you can correct while in the drop of glue.
Also, this is the best lash extension glue for colored lash application, as you don’t want yellow extensions to lose their color if you use black glue.
The luminous clear adhesive is the best option for clients who are allergic to black carbon found in every black lash adhesive.
Key information about this product:
- Drying time: 0.5-1s
- Room humidity: 40-60%
- Room temperature: 20-22°C
Facts:
- Colour: transparent
- Size: 5ml

How We Tested Lash Glues
Before stocking our lash glues for selling, we conducted rigorous testing to ensure their quality, safety, and performance. Our testing process involved several key steps:
- Hypoallergenic Formulation: Each lash glue underwent a thorough examination of its ingredients to ensure a hypoallergenic formulation suitable for sensitive eyes. We prioritised ingredients known for their gentle nature and minimised the presence of potential irritants.
- Sensitivity Testing: A panel of volunteers with varying sensitivity levels tested the lash glues. We conducted patch tests on their skin to identify any adverse reactions, ensuring the products were safe for those with delicate eye areas. But keep in mind that any person can develop sensitivity over time, just like with food allergies, etc.
- Adhesion and Retention: We assessed the adhesion and retention capabilities of each glue to ensure long-lasting and secure lash extensions.
- Drying Time and Flexibility: The drying time of the glues was evaluated to determine their efficiency during lash applications. We also examined the flexibility of the cured glue to avoid discomfort for the wearer.
- Humidity and Temperature Resistance: The lash glues were tested in various humidity and temperature conditions to ensure their effectiveness in different environments.
By subjecting our lash glues to extensive testing, we guarantee that our products meet the highest standards of quality, making them safe and reliable choices for lash artists and clients alike.
