When shopping for eyelash glue, you will be given two choices: clear glue and dark glue. While both of these adhesive glues perform the same task - holding eyelash extensions to the eyelid - they are dramatically different.

Before purchasing clear glue or dark glue, it is important to know what the differences are between these two eyelash extension glues. The following guide will walk you through the differences and help you determine which eyelash glue is right for your unique situation.

Match the Glue Color to the Eyelash Color

Eyelash extensions come in a wide variety of colors. Colors range from natural colors, like light brown, blonde, and black, to bold, exotic colors, like purple, orange, red, and blue. It is important to try to match the eyelash glue color up to the color of the eyelash extension.

If you are going to apply light brown or black eyelash extensions, you would want to use the dark glue. This will allow you to adhere the eyelash extension to the eyelid without creating a visible line of glue that can be seen at a distance.

The opposite is wanted if you are choosing to wear bold, bright eyelash extensions. In situations where you are wearing colored eyelash extensions, especially if they are lighter colored, you will want to use the clear glue. This will allow the eyelash extension to stick to the eyelid without having a thick, bold line that looks like eyeliner.

Natural Look vs. a Sultry, Intense Look

Think of eyelash glues as an accessory and not a simple tool to help you get a specific look. Eyelash glues can help intensify a look just by adding a simple dark line along the eyelid. This will intensify the look of the eyes, open them up, and make them look bolder and brighter.

Unfortunately, if you are going for a sultry, intense look only one eyelash glue will help you - dark glue. The dark glue will dry in a bold thick line which will intensify the look of your eyes. Combine this bold thick line with a sultry eyeshadow color and you have just created an intense look.

For those looking and wanting a more natural look, a clear glue is the solution. The clear glue will allow you to place natural looking eyelashes onto the lid without creating a distinctive line that is similar to eyeliner.

The Amount of Experience You Have Applying Eyelash Extensions

One of the biggest factors that will determine what glue you use is your experience level. Due to the fact that dark glue dries in a dark gray or black color, you have to be extremely experienced to use it. If you smudge or smear it while applying it to the eyelid, you will be able to notice it even from a distance.

Clear glue is ideal for beginners. It will allow you to make mistakes while applying it to the eye without worrying about those mistakes becoming noticeable.
