5 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Lash Adhesive

When it comes to creating flawless lash sets, your adhesive is just as important as your technique. A fresh, well-cared-for adhesive ensures better retention, smoother application, and happier clients. At EBL Lashes, we know that every drop counts, so here are 5 expert tips to help you get the most out of your lash adhesive.

1. Store Your Adhesive Properly

Keep your adhesive in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you have extra bottles, you can store them in the fridge until you’re ready to use them. Proper storage helps preserve the adhesive’s consistency and performance.

2. Shake Before Each Use

Before starting a set, shake your adhesive well to make sure all ingredients are fully mixed. Pro tip: remove the lid and cover the nozzle with an adhesive wipe while shaking—this prevents any product from getting stuck and clogging the nozzle.

3. Keep the Nozzle Clean

After each use, wipe the nozzle clean with an adhesive wipe. A clean nozzle prevents buildup, clogs, and ensures your bottle stays in good condition until it’s finished.

4. Replace Regularly

Even with perfect storage, lash adhesive doesn’t last forever. For best results, replace your adhesive every 4–8 weeks. To stay on track, mark the date you opened your bottle with a fine-point Sharpie. That way, you’ll never second-guess when it’s time for a new one.

5. Burp the Bottle

When dispensing, gently squeeze the bottle and give it a small “burp” to release any trapped air. This helps maintain the adhesive’s integrity and prevents premature curing inside the bottle.

Final Thoughts
