I might have latex sensitivity, but I haven’t found a latex-free glue that works well. My eyes are pretty sensitive as well, so I don’t wear false eyelashes much. If I do, it’s generally demis. I like individual lashes but I’ve sworn off the long-wearing individual false lash glue and their removers, they burn like mad.

I just use the adhesive that comes with the lashes I buy, and they all seem equal… I also typically buy DS lashes, and haven’t found a need or desire to go HE.

LOL im soo sorry but i use hair bonding glue! I know i know ur not supposed to, but i have really watery eyes and duo just doesnt do it for me. No need to let it sit and get tacky with the salon pro 30 sec hair glue. And it comes off ur lashes so clean. U can even use ur cheapies over and over again. 🙂

Revlon’s lash glue! I’ve tried Duo and while I do think it is amazing and holds all day, the Revlon lash glue just feels more secure. Also it tries a bit quicker and gets tackier faster, so I’m not waiting forever between putting the glue on the lash to putting it on my eye.

same !!! revlon is a million times easier to use than duo… plus is comes with a brush tip applicator so you always get the right amount of glue on !

I must be a little odd, I really don’t like the Duo lash glue, I have always preferred the glue that comes with the Japonesque lashes. Maybe for the applicator in the cap, I always wear unbanded lashes when I wear falsies so I want a super thin application, the little wand makes it easy. It wears like iron on my oily eyelids and I never feel it on.

I only use Revlon lash glue, it does not have a odor and the hold is wonderful. I’ve tried DUO and it is not my favorite. I wear lashes everyday.

Hands down the glue that comes with the illamasqua false lashes, it’s amazing! I wish they sold it individually. Otherwise, I love DUO the old favourite 🙂

I’ve use the drug store brands and the ones that come with the lashes but nothings compares to the DUO. It is my go to and I refuse to use any other kind. It last all night and removes very easily and clean. I hated when I had to pick glue out my eye lashes. I finally got my niece to switch over. I prefer the clear one, my niece loves the black one. She says it blends in more.

Every time I’ve tried to apply false eyelashes, I end up with my lids glued shut! I did have them applied at Sephora last year when I was going to a red carpet event and they looked fabulous. Just can’t attempt them myself.

My fave is Shu Uemura’s lash glue. I prefer it over Duo only cause I don’t have to wait for it to get tacky, I am just that impatient lol.

I really like the dollywink, it’s less runny than duo so it’s easier to clean up and tends to not run into my eyes like duo sometimes can. Alas, it’s hard to come by

I have tried so many eyelash glues and I really like the brush-on ones that are a bit more prevalent in Asia, but DUO has one that is pretty good as well. My favorite brands besides the DUO one are D-UP Eyelash Fixer and Eyemazing Super Fit. The only thing with these brush-on adhesives is that after around 6 months or so the glue tends to get really goopy. You can still use it but it can make application a little messy and can be a little annoying.
