Want Better Lash Retention? Use This Primer, Adhesive & Sealer Combo

If your lash sets are beautiful but not lasting as long as they should—it's time to take a closer look at your product prep and finishing steps. Great retention doesn’t just come from good technique; it comes from the right combination of products working together.

At EBL, we swear by one routine that artists rave about:
👉 Lash Primer + Magic Adhesive + Sealer

This powerful combo—what we call the Retention Trio—has helped countless lash artists improve retention, boost client satisfaction, and create long-lasting results.

Let’s break down why each product plays a key role—and how they work together to help you create lash sets that truly last.

Step 1: Start Strong with Our Lash Primer

Before you even pick up a lash, you’ve got to start with a clean slate. Our Lash Primer removes oils, residue, and any leftover proteins from the natural lashes—creating the ideal surface for strong bonding.

Why it matters:

• Extensions stick better to clean lashes

• Helps reduce retention issues caused by oils

• Speeds up dry time for adhesives

💡 Pro tip: Apply just a small amount to the base of clean lashes with a micro swab brush. Let dry completely before you start lashing.

Step 2: Lock It In with Magic Adhesive

Now for the glue that pulls it all together—literally. Our Magic Adhesive is fast-drying (around 0.5–1 second), making it perfect for lash artists who need a strong bond, fast. It’s known for its smooth consistency and long-lasting hold—even in lower humidity environments.

Why artists love it:

• Ultra-fast dry time

• Flexible bond = better retention

• Works well in 35–60% humidity

• Thin, smooth consistency for clean lash lines

Whether you’re doing classic, volume, or mega volume, Magic Adhesive delivers that crisp bond that holds up until the next fill (and beyond).

Step 3: Finish With a Sealer

Don’t sleep on your final step—lash sealers are the unsung heroes of great retention. Our Lash Sealer creates a lightweight protective barrier around the adhesive bond, helping shield it from oil, dirt, sweat, and other retention killers.

Why it works:

• Helps reduce shock curing from moisture exposure

• Extends the life of the adhesive bond

• Adds a clean, glossy finish to the lash line

• Great for clients with active lifestyles or oily skin

💡 Pro tip: Apply a small amount to the lash line once the full set is complete and adhesive is fully cured.

Why This Trio Works So Well Together

Each product in the Retention Trio plays a critical role:

• Primer ensures a clean, bondable surface

• Magic Adhesive creates a strong, fast-setting hold

• Sealer locks everything in and protects it long after the appointment

Together, they form a retention-boosting system that increases client satisfaction, reduces premature shedding, and helps you build long-term loyalty with every set you create.

Want longer-lasting lash sets? Don’t just focus on your application—focus on the prep, bond, and seal. With the EBL Retention Trio, you’re giving your clients the best chance at beautiful lashes that truly last.
