0.5 second clear lash adhesive that dries completely transparent — no dark residue at the lash base, the go-to choice for colored extensions where black glue would muddy the color, and for clients wanting the cleanest, most natural-looking finish possible.
Why You'll Love It
- Invisible clear bond — dries completely transparent with no dark residue at the lash base, keeping the finish clean and natural

- Same performance as black formula — same 0.5s cure speed and 6–8 weeks retention, just without the color
- Perfect for light or blonde lashes — invisible bond blends seamlessly with fair natural lashes where black glue would show

How To Use
- Prep — Cleanse natural lashes with Eyelash Primer for maximum adhesion
- Shake — Shake the bottle for 30 seconds before use
- Dispense — Place a small drop onto a jade stone or glue ring
- Dip — Dip the lash extension base into the glue — use minimal adhesive for a clean bond
- Apply — Place 0.5mm from the lash line and hold for 1–2 seconds until bonded
- Refresh — Replace glue drop every 20–30 minutes for optimal performance
- After use — Squeeze out excess air, wipe the nozzle clean, and seal tightly
Understanding Glue Performance — Temperature & Humidity
- Optimal conditions: 20–25°C temperature, 50–60% humidity — this is when curing speed and retention are at their best
- Retention is also technique-dependent: The lash artist's application speed, isolation quality, and placement all significantly affect how long the bond lasts — not just the glue itself
- Low humidity or low temperature: Glue cures slower and may feel thicker — this is normal. Use a nano mister to boost humidity if needed
- Seasonal changes: Application in winter is naturally slower than summer due to lower temperature and humidity — this is expected and does not affect quality or retention
- How it works: Lash glue requires moisture from the air to cure. Without enough humidity, curing slows down
- White residue on the bottle: Caused by moisture bonding with glue molecules on the bottle exterior during transport or storage in warm, humid, poorly ventilated conditions. Does not affect the glue inside. Keep the bottle in a dry, ventilated space to prevent this
Storage Instructions
- Store upright in a dry, ventilated space at 20–26°C
- Do not refrigerate — humidity inside the fridge is too high and will damage the glue
- Keep away from direct sunlight, air conditioning vents, and moisture
- Do not store near air conditioning airflow — temperature fluctuation and condensation can degrade the formula
- After opening: squeeze out excess air and wipe the nozzle clean after each use
- Opened bottle: use within 4–6 weeks for best performance

FAQ
Does transparent glue have the same retention as black glue?
Yes — transparent glue delivers 6–8 weeks retention, comparable to our 0.5s Black Glue. The only difference is the color of the bond at the lash base.
Is transparent glue essential for colored lash extensions?
Yes — black glue darkens the base of colored, brown, or ombre lashes, making them look less vibrant and muddying the color gradient. Transparent glue keeps the base clean and lets the lash color show through naturally from root to tip.
Is this lash glue beginner friendly?
Not recommended for beginners. The 0.5s cure requires confident, fast placement. Beginners should start with 1s Glue first to build placement speed before switching to transparent.
Why does my glue feel slower in winter?
Lower temperature and humidity in winter naturally slow the curing reaction — this is expected and does not affect quality. Use a nano mister to boost humidity if needed.
There is white residue on my bottle — is it damaged?
No — white residue on the outside of the bottle is caused by moisture bonding with glue molecules on the bottle exterior, typically during transport in warm, humid, or poorly ventilated conditions. The glue inside is not affected. Store in a dry, ventilated space and the residue will not reappear.
