How Often Should We Change Our Eyelash Glue Bottles?
Eyelash glue containing cyanoacrylate is sensitive to moisture (humidity) and therefore has a relatively short shelf life. Most professional eyelash glue products last around six months unopened, and about four weeks once opened. It’s important to check with your supplier to confirm how long your eyelash glue lasts both before and after opening.
Once lash glue bottle has been opened and exposed to air, the formula begins to degrade. To ensure maximum performance and client retention, always date your glue bottle and discard it after 4 weeks of use.
At I AM Lash PRO, our eyelash glue is designed to last up to 6 months unopened if stored properly, and 4 to 6 weeks after opening—depending on how frequently it’s used. All eyelash glues should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity.
How Often Should We Change Our Eyelash Glue Based on Workload?
For a full-time lash artist working with three or more clients a day, five days a week, we recommend changing your eyelash glue bottle every three to four weeks. The more often the bottle is opened, the more it’s exposed to moisture, leading to faster deterioration in strength and consistency.
For part-time lash technicians or those who only do a few sets of lashes weekly, lash glue can remain usable for up to six weeks if stored and handled correctly.
Lash PRO Tips to Keep Your Eyelash Glue Fresher for Longer:
- Store your glue bottles in an airtight container away from sunlight, heaters, and humidifiers.
- Always date your glue bottle upon opening, so you know exactly when to replace it.
- Monitor consistency—if your glue becomes stringy or separates, it’s time to toss it.
- Shake the bottle with a lint-free adhesive wipe or glue pin over the nozzle to prevent build-up.
- Burp the bottle after each use to remove excess eyelash glue from the nozzle and avoid clogging.
- Wipe the nozzle clean after every drop to ensure a tight seal and reduce exposure.
P.S. Never store lash glue in the fridge—condensation can ruin the formula!
And remember: fresh lash glue = flawless application + excellent retention.
