Have you ever wondered what the best lash glue is for volume lashes? What about the best lash glue for classic lashes or pre-made fans? Well, this blog post is here to answer all of your questions. Truth be told, finding the perfect lash adhesive is a matter of preference. Every adhesive can be used for any technique that you choose, so if you like an adhesive for a certain technique and it's not listed on the post, keep using it! The main purpose of this post is to help explain the attributes for each lash adhesive. Some of them were formulated with specific techniques in mind. We are here to teach you all about each BL lash glue's formulation, so you can select the perfect lash adhesive for you! LET'S GET STARTED!
1.
OPTIUMS GLUE
Why we love Optimus Glue for volume lashes:
It has the perfect rich texture and it dries quickly enough to hold your fan together but gives you just enough time to make a placement with the locking technique.
2.
VOLUME GLUE
Why do we love Blink Lash Store's Volume Glue? It has a dry time that is a little bit faster than the Optimus Glue but still has that slightly thicker texture that is so perfect for handmade volume lashes.
3.

When you are working with pre-made lash fans it is important to find a thin, fast drying adhesive. This will make it so they don't stick together and the base doesn't get too bulky.
