Pros

The black color blends in with lashes and doubles as an eyeliner-like finish along the lash line.
Holds lashes in place all day without needing touch-ups at the edges.
The brush applicator gives good control over how much glue you dispense, unlike squeeze-tube styles that can over-apply.
Comes with two bottles per purchase.

Cons

Takes more effort to remove at the end of the day compared to lighter-hold glues.
Inner corner adhesion can be weak; one person had lashes lifting there throughout the evening.

Brush-on applicator applies the adhesive directly to the lash band, which tends to be less messy than squeeze-tube glues that require a separate tool or fingertip.
Goes on white and dries clear, so any excess disappears once it sets. The dark version (sold separately) dries satin black for a liner-like effect along the lash line.
Designed for strip lashes specifically. You coat the band, wait about 30-40 seconds for it to get tacky, then press the lash into place.
Contact lens wearers can use it; the formula has been tested in a clinical setting and cleared for use on the eye area with contacts in.
House of Lashes was one of the earlier brands to introduce a brush-on lash adhesive format. The glue is developed in the U.S. and manufactured in Korea.
If you're shopping for a non-toxic eyelash glue and have had reactions to traditional lash adhesives, the latex-free formula here is worth noting, as latex is one of the more common irritants in conventional options.

How to Swap to Non-Toxic eyelash glue:

Here's how to swap to non-toxic eyelash glue:

What to know about eyelash glue

Eyelash glue is applied right next to your eyes and often sits on delicate skin for hours at a time. That combination of sensitive proximity and extended contact makes the formulation especially important.

Many lash glues contain synthetic fragrance, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, or harsh adhesive chemicals that can irritate the eyes and surrounding skin.
Even if you only wear lashes occasionally, the area around your eyes absorbs ingredients easily, so what's in the formula really matters.

Check your current eyelash glue

Take a look at the lash glue you already own and scan the ingredient label. You can use the Welpr Personal Care and Cosmetic Scanner to photograph the label and flag any concerning ingredients.

Look for words like "fragrance," "parfum," or ingredients ending in "-formalin" or "-formate," which may indicate synthetic fragrance or formaldehyde-releasers.
If you have more than one lash glue, start with the one you reach for most often or the one you wear for the longest stretches.

Use your current lash glue more carefully

If you're not ready to replace your eyelash glue right away, a few small adjustments can reduce how much contact the adhesive has with your skin. These changes are especially worth trying if you notice any redness or irritation.

Apply the thinnest line of glue possible to the lash band and let it get tacky before placing it, so less product transfers to your eyelid.
Remove false lashes as soon as you no longer need them rather than sleeping in them or wearing them all day.

Choose a cleaner eyelash glue

Look for lash glues with simple, short ingredient lists that skip synthetic fragrance, formaldehyde-releasers, and unnecessary preservatives. Certifications like EWG VERIFIED™ or MADE SAFE® are a strong signal, but Welpr reviews the full formula either way.

Prioritize glues labeled fragrance-free and free from parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde—these are the most common concerns in this category.
