So what should you look for in a good eyelash adhesive? One that’s strong and long-lasting, of course. But there’s also other factors to consider. 
If you’ve got sensitive eyes, you’ll need to ensure you buy a glue that doesn’t leave a stinging sensation. Do you wear contacts? It’s best you look for a latex-free option that won’t irritate your peepers.
It’s also not a good idea to search out that old adhesive you bought for that wedding two years ago - if the glue is past its sell-by date the ingredients can separate and therefore be far less efficient.
Scroll down for our roundup of the best eyelash glues that will keep your falsies fluttering - and in place - all night…

What is the best drugstore eyelash glue?

Nobody knows more about false eyelashes than the lash queen herself - Huda Kattan. 
The former beauty blogger soared to success when she launched her first superior-quality handmade false eyelash line under the Huda Beauty brand.
So it follows that she also knows a thing or two about how to make them stay on for hours. Her lashes and lash glue are lauded by beauty insiders worldwide.
Why? For starters, the glue is black so it blends seamlessly with your lashes. 
Secondly, it’s completely waterproof so won’t budge if you blub at a wedding. 
Thirdly, it dries really quickly so you don’t have that moment when you’ve got your lashes in the perfect spot only for them to start sliding around everywhere because the adhesive is still wet. 
Lastly, it’s super-strong so won’t fail you halfway through the night. 
That's all the boxes well and truly ticked.

While many eyelash glues are catered towards applying strip lashes as well as individual lashes, some adhesives are formulated just for individuals.
The reason? Individual lashes are far more fiddly to apply, and are often expected to stay on for longer than a strip lash - so a super-strength glue is required.
This eyelash glue is just that -ultra-strong. So strong, in fact, that it claims your lashes will stay on for weeks. 
The reality is more like one to two weeks, but that’s still a high-performing at-home adhesive. It is also available in black.
