The skin around the eyes may become red and irritated as a reaction to the eyelash glue. This is a common sign of an allergic reaction.
This includes puffiness around the eyes, especially the eyelids. Swelling could become severe and can cause discomfort.
A thick, often sticky, substance may be present in the eyes due to an allergic reaction to eyelash glue. The discharge could be clear or a yellowish color.
The eyes may produce more tears than normal, causing them to appear watery. This usually results from eye irritation.
Due to an allergic reaction, the eyes or skin around the eyes might become itchy and uncomfortable.

<li><i>Discharge</i>: Unusual or increased discharge from your eyes after using eyelash glue could signal an allergic reaction.</li>
Note the Immediate Eyelash Glue After-Effects
<li><i>Persistence</i>: If the symptoms persist even after the removal of the eyelashes, this could further suggest an allergic reaction to the eyelash glue.</li>
Confirm Your Suspicions with a Patch Test
In case of strong suspicions of an eyelash glue allergy, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the glue on another part of your skin, such as the inside of your forearm. Wait for 24 hours. If the skin develops redness, swelling, itching, or any other allergic symptom, you can confirm your allergy to eyelash glue.
Don't wait until next season. Start now and enjoy a life free from allergies!

Selecting a hypoallergenic lash glue can significantly reduce the chances of an allergic reaction. These glues are specially formulated to be gentle on your eyes and contain fewer chemicals that can trigger an allergic response. Make sure to check the product label before you purchase any eyelash adhesive.
Before you apply the glue to your eyelashes, it is crucial to perform a patch test on a small part of your skin, preferably the inner arm. Apply a tiny amount of glue to your skin and wait for 24 hours. If there is no reaction, it's safe to use; otherwise, opt for a different product.
Always ensure you are applying the glue correctly. This means using an appropriate amount and not getting the glue too close to your eye. Too much glue or misapplication can lead to irritation or an allergy. It's best to use a fine-tip applicator for precise application.
Looking after your lashes properly once they're on can also help prevent allergic reactions. This includes not rubbing your eyes, not using oil-based makeup removers, and removing your lashes carefully. The adhesive should always be fully removed after lash use.
