At Who What Wear, we’re strong believers in the power false lashes hold over a finished makeup look. The right pair of falsies or individual lashes can level-up your confidence and your makeup game; whether it’s a flirty-fanned out look you’re after or a barely-there addition to your natural length. No matter what you choose, however, most false lashes (unless you go the magnetic lash route) rely on one product to ensure their wearability—eyelash glue.
While it’s challenging to sum up all the characteristics we value from a good adhesive for our lashes, we’re usually on the lookout for products that provide a mess-free application, a quick-drying, tacky consistency, and long-lasting hold. Additionally, because falsies are pressed right against the lash line and come into contact with our natural lashes; we also look for eyelash glue formulated with a cocktail of nourishing ingredients to help protect what’s already there.
Below, we’re sharing our curated list of the top ten eyelash glues on the market to make shopping for them a breeze, because we all know picking out the lash set of your dreams is the fun part!
The Best Lash Adhesives, Listed
1. Huda Beauty Sticky Tack Latex-Free Lash Glue
Huda Beauty
Sticky Tack Latex-Free Lash Glue
One of the biggest concerns I hear from fellow beauty enthusiasts while they’re shopping for lash glue is that it’s difficult to find a formula tacky enough to keep the lashes in place for as long as they would like. This latex-free lash glue offers the perfect amount of tackiness with easy and fast application (I never have to fiddle with or adjust my lashes after they’ve been placed).
Customer Review: “I am absolutely in love with this applicator, it’s very easy to use and you can’t do anything wrong. Perfect placement because of the precise brush and it’s clear which means you can’t mess up. Best for beginners and pros!”
Pros: The formula is easy to apply and remove in seconds
Cons: None
Specs: 0.25 oz tube with brush applicator
2. Velour Lash Adhesive
Velour Lashes
Lash Adhesive
I’ve been a longtime fan of Velour Lashes, so it should be no surprise that I like to pair them with the brand’s lash adhesive for the best possible results (although, they work well for all falsies I’ve worn). This lash glue is designed specifically for multiple wears and is gentle enough to come off easily during lash removal without tugging on the skin or your natural lashes.
Customer Review: “One of the best and easiest to use for your lashes. I’ve been using them for about two years now and have never had any issues. Just apply them on and let them dry for 30 seconds before putting them on your lash line are usually add a little extra to the edges and they hold all day.”
Pros: Features a latex-free formula (ideal for sensitive eyes)
Cons: Dries with slight residue
Specs: 0.50 oz tube with brush applicator
3. Lashify Whisper Light Single-Sided Bond
Lashify
Whisper Light Flexible Bond
My favorite lash products on the market are usually ones with formulas that can be used by makeup novices and experts, and Lashify’s Whisper Light Flexible Bond is one of the best. Its formula combines biotin and Micro-flex technology to create a protective cushion just underneath the lash line to save your roots while holding your falsies in place.
Customer Review: “I’ve been using Lashify’s lash system for four years now, they’re easy to apply, durable and made well, and they last about a week-week & a half when you get the technique down. This, however, is my first time getting this style of applicator for the whisper light—I usually use the double ended one. this one is sooo much easier to use and control where the bond is going. My lashes look better than ever!!”
Pros: Protects the roots of natural lashes from weight and tension
Cons: Noticeable fragrance upon application (fades in minutes)
Specs: 0.25 oz tube with micro-mascara applicator
4. Lily Lashes Clear Brush On Lash Adhesive
Lily Lashes
Clear Brush On Lash Adhesive
I heard so many praises for this one’s high performing formula that I had to get my hands on it a few months back. What I like the most about this one is that in addition to being latex-free and non-irritating for my sensitive eyes; it dries completely clear and leaves no residue behind. My only qualm with it is that the formula takes 30 seconds to become tacky (a lifetime if you’re always on-the-go like I am).
Customer Review: “This is my favorite short term/one-day wear lash glue. It dries completely clear and stays on the entire day. I have sensitive skin and this isn’t the only glue that doesn’t itch.”
Pros: Uses as a quick dry, non-irritating formula
Cons: Feels more slippery than tacky; reapplication may be needed for longevity
Specs: 0.16 oz tube with brush applicator
5. Duo Adhesive Quick Set Lash Adhesive
Duo
Adhesive Quick Set Lash Adhesive
Here’s proof that a good lash adhesive doesn’t have to break the bank. The Adhesive Quick Set Lash Adhesive delivers long-lasting, waterproof hold that’s also durable, odorless, and mess-free. I’m a huge fan of this one’s paddle-shaped applicator brush for easy and precise application. With over 60 years of history behind it, you can trust this lash glue will stick around for quite a while.
Customer Review: “I have also used this before getting in the lake or hot tub and unless I am fully submerged, the glue stays in place! But when I shower they will come off and not harm my real lashes like some others that have pulled them out! I have tried every brush on dark lash glue I can find and I like this one the best! It dry within minutes and stays in place.”
Pros: Offers firm, long-lasting hold in seconds
Cons: May leave a visible, sticky film once lashes are removed

Their eyelash glue (in both clear and black) has a long-lasting, latex free formula that lets you effortlessly apply your lashes and keeps them in place all day. The brush tip applicator makes it easy to use no matter how shaky my hands get after one too many cups of coffee.
Customer Review: “Sephora’s lash adhesive is so good and easy to use! I just wait the recommended 30 seconds before applying and my lashes are perfectly placed.
