Eva Asks: What kind of glue is fake eyelash glue?
The Right Brain Replies:
Eyelash glue is typically made from the same kind of ingredients as rubber cement. For an example, look at this ingredient list for Headcover’s Eyelash Adhesive:
Water, Rubber Latex, Cellulose Gum, Bentone LT, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Methylparaben, Amommounium Hydroxide, and Iron Oxides.
Rubber Latex is like rubber cement and it shouldn’t be a problem unless you have a latex allergy!
The Brains’ Bottom Line:
If you’re allergic to latex you’d better shop carefully for eyelash adhesives or maybe you should buy a better mascara.

Woah there. Eyelash glue is nothing like rubber cement! Rubber cement includes all kinds of hazardous ingredients like paradichlorobenzene, trichloroethane, acetone, heptane, and isopropyl alcohol… Sure they’re both sticky, and I know no one is actually advocating the use of rubber cement around one’s eyes… but you shouldn’t even put rubber cement and eyelash glue/adhesive in the same sentence. For the record, even the tiniest bit of rubber cement, if it comes in contact with one’s eyes, can cause a HORRIBLE reaction.
I’ve been there actually… I accidentally rubbed my eyes after working with rubber cement once, totally unaware that there was even a trace of the stuff on my hands. I ended up with the area around both of my eyes swollen to the sizes of baseballs, and I had to go to an emergency eye care place. It is NOT pleasant at all. (& folks should be very careful to avoid any sort of eye contact whatsoever when working with rubber cement!)
