Duo: The eyelash glue or the surgical adhesive?
I've always used the eyelash glue and i really like it, but saw the surgical adhesive online somewhere that said it was better because it was more flexible but still strong. If you have used both, what do you prefer? Or do you prefer a different eyelash glue altogether? Jan 08 08 06:54 pm Link Crap. I meant to post that from this account..  Jan 08 08 06:54 pm Link Are you talking about the clear glue with the strong smell? If so it works well but you wont be able to take the lashes off for a couple of days! Jan 08 08 06:56 pm Link Duo surgical adhesive is the best. It holds very well but it's still easy to take them off if you want to. It's the only thing I use. It kind of reminds me of the sticky tacky that teachers use to hold posters on the wall. Jan 08 08 06:58 pm Link BlaqueBarbie Creations wrote: I dont know, i haven't smelled it. I just read about it online somewhere and I lost my duo at my last shoot so i wanted to ask before i just went about bought the eyelash adhesive again. Maybe I'll just buy both and try them out.

When did this start? How did I not know this? OTish, but I like the black Duo myself, unless I'm doing individuals that are meant to look real. Jan 08 08 07:16 pm Link Duo lash glue is definately the best glue I've ever used. It's a surgical adhesive that just peels off when you're ready to take them off. It doesn't pull out any lashes and it always stays put.

Sorry {newbie} Jan 08 08 07:50 pm Link Google let me down, I could only find ingredient listings for the eyelash adhesive. "Water, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Rubber Latex, Fragrance (Parfum), Formalin Solution, Ammonium Hydroxide." What you are saying sounds right though David. The eyelash adhesive is at tons of stores anyways, thats easy, i think i'll stick with it! Jan 08 08 07:57 pm Link Makeup by Treja wrote: Don't you hate when that happens? Jan 08 08 08:01 pm Link The Blk DUO is the BEST!!!!! And yes it is kinda smelly. Jan 08 08 08:04 pm Link David, what do you suggest as an alternative for Duo for individuals sensitive to latex? Jan 08 08 08:08 pm Link I have both the one that says "surgical adhesive" and the one that says "eye lash glue". I never realized there was a difference. They look and smell the same to me. But I only use the clear. Jan 08 08 08:24 pm Link I use the dark DUO surgical adhesive and it's the best! Jan 08 08 08:37 pm Link Rebecca Liceaga wrote: I've never tried the black. Does that work well for natural looks? Jan 08 08 09:00 pm Link the fish smell is just the rubber latex.. i use the white to clear duo surgical.. love it! Jan 08 08 09:32 pm Link I've done both. The regular glue is good for a temporary thing. The surgical adhesive is much more longlasting. I've had eyelash extension done at my esthetician and they were amazing. The only thing is that you shouldnt curl them. Otherwise they crimp in wierd ways. I say if you use surgical adhesive, be sure to go to a professional unless you really know what you're doing. The results are great! Jan 08 08 09:35 pm Link actually i heard the surgical one is not as long lasting.. but it would be interesting to compare the actual difference.. Jan 08 08 09:56 pm Link Hi! http://aiibeauty.com American International Industries is the leading manufacturer and distributor of DUO. DUO Lash Adhesive, the worlds best selling lash adhesive, it is available in dark and clear.

Check out the site you will find lot more info. Doesn't go in detail than what a wrote above. ( I copied and paste it from thier site.) Hope this info works. I emailed them also so once I hear back I will post what they say. Thanks!!!! Jan 08 08 11:30 pm Link liz yu wrote: For me the surgical one doesn't seem to last as long. Jan 08 08 11:39 pm Link I'll never use anyting but dark Duo Eyelash glue ever again. the clear smelly glue is a whole other animal.. but is good for people who are.. or claim.. and allergy to latex.. just remember that they make a remover for it... and don't forget to buy some! After falling in love with the dark eyelash Duo.. I wonder... why would anyone ever use the "clear" duo adhesive. As for long lasting surgical VS. eyelash adhesive.. I much prefer the eyelash adhesive over the surgical adhesive. Jan 08 08 11:45 pm Link Camilai wrote: These are makeup artists you're talking to, just so you know.

Clear, stayed put, came off easily, &c; I haven't ever used anything else, though, so I can't compare. Jan 08 08 11:57 pm Link Melissa Rachelle wrote: Any shot that has false eyelashes in my port was done with the black, and I think it looks pretty natural. Since it's dries black, it blends with the lashline so that's why I like it Jan 09 08 02:57 am Link |
Nothing against the clear one though!
