- Kiss Strip Eyelash Adhesive in Clear : Uh, not only is this eyelash glue $3, but it's also the number one eyelash glue on Amazon with over 60K five-star ratings. What! The formula is water-resistant, latex-free, and infused with aloe (to reduce irritation), making it a simple but effective glue, especially for the price. One reviewer (out of billions) wrote that it is “the best eyelash glue I have ever used. The brush makes it easy to apply to lashes and once applied, it stays on.”
- Pur Pro Eyelash Glue :This eyelash glue is cruelty-free, paraben-free, and, apparently, can even withstand a broken heart when you cry. As one reviewer shared after breaking up with his girlfriend, “[I] may have cried all my water weight, but I still have my lashes to perfection despite Kim K's 5+ hours of full crying (complete with dramatic eye rubbing).” Five star testimonial if we've ever heard of it.
- Sephora Collection Eyelash Adhesive Brush Tip : This latex-free formula (available in black or white) has a thicker brush tip, which makes it easier to stick to the glue to prevent thicker lashes from drooping or peeling off after a few hours. One reviewer wrote: “This is the best eyelash glue I have ever tried. It's easy to use and lasts all day! I was surprised at how well it worked and the price was really good. ”
- Eyelash Adhesive 4 Duo Strip with Dark Color :Honestly, you can't talk about eyelash glue without including the cult favorite Duo. While the packaging itself isn't fancy (it's a basic squeeze tube), the formula dries quickly to a dark, long-lasting eyeliner-like finish. Proof: “All day long, lashes HAVE. NO. CONSIDERED. It's a miracle! I remove it very easily and release the glue from the lashes in one sturdy rope!” wrote one reviewer.
- Eyelash Adhesive 5 Duo with Vitamins A, C & E : NOW 43% OFF .Yes, yes, yes, there will be two Duos on this list, but hey—they really are the best, and I promise I'll give you the best, right? Unlike other Duo formulas, which have a dusky hue (making them best for looks where eyeliner and/or eyeshadow are involved), this Duo is completely translucent, so you can apply it on your lids without being overt.
- Lilac St. Pro Lash Glue : Looking for glue that has super powers? We got you. Your lashes will be able to handle just about anything that comes with Lilac St's Pro Lash Glue. Its black, mascara-like formula doesn't smudge and has an extra-strong adhesion that, according to one reviewer, can withstand even the most extreme outdoor adventures. "This glue works really well," the reviewer said. "I just got back from a trip to Costa Rica where I went zip lining, horseback riding, ATVing AND white water rafting. And my lashes literally lasted the whole week I was there.
