These TikTok hacks are revealing unexpected ways to use eyelash glue: ‘How did I not know this trick?!’
There’s a reason why eyelash glue is a staple in the emergency kits of professional wedding planners and photographers — and it’s not just in case of beauty blunders.
While eyelash glue is essential for keeping fake lashes in place for hours at a time, it can also help with unruly bangs, shifty necklaces, messy manicures and uncooperative fashion pieces, as these viral TikTok videos prove.
If you’ve already patch tested eyelash glue and know you don’t have any dermatological concerns, these glue hacks might just come in handy at special occasions — even if you’re not someone who wears fake lashes.
1. Keep necklace clasps firmly in place
Kentucky wedding photographer Jennifer (@jenniferreneephotography) gained over 30.7 million views, 1.1 million likes and 80,000 saves when she revealed how eyelash glue can come in clutch with wedding jewelry.
Using clear-dry lash glue, the video shares how necklaces can be made to stay firmly in place throughout the wedding, ensuring that an errant clasp never makes an appearance in the wedding photos.
While viewers did provide some additional tips to keep in mind with this hack — such as using clear glue rather than black, and gluing down the chain rather than the clasp itself (to prevent it from being glued shut) — the hack was lauded for its ingenuity.
UK-based wedding content creators Lydia and Ollie (@weddingcontentcreator) further demonstrated how the hack works in their video, which gained over 2.4 million views.
In their footage, the bride’s necklace wasn’t just glued down at the base of her neck but on her chest as well, ensuring that the pendant never strayed on her big day.
“I was a wedding photographer for 20 yrs. How did I not know this trick?!” commented @teresasweetphotography.
“I did this on my wedding and my necklace didn’t move all day or night was perfect!” wrote @s0phi30.
“Wish I saw this before I got married! My necklace was all over the place in my photos,” commented @meganhughes3685.
2. Make your bangs windproof
Beauty influencer Emily Elizabeth (@eggdressesup) proved that eyelash glue can keep not only lashes but flyaway fringes in place.
In a video that gained over 351,000 views and 34,000 likes, Emily first applied a small amount of lash glue to the ends of her hair, then directly to the skin of her forehead (which later proved to be the more effective method).
After testing its durability with a blow-dryer, Emily deemed the hack as a success.
“THANK YOU,” commented TikTok user @niharikajainn. “I hate spending effort on my hair and it immediately getting ruined as I step outside on a windy day.”
3. Prevent messy manicures
Nail artist @theenaildoll revealed how to keep cuticles nice and clean during manicures using just a little lash glue and later some acetone.
After applying a small amount of glue to the cuticle area and allowing it to dry, @theenaildoll airbrushed her nail. When the paint job was complete, she grabbed some acetone and a small brush and gently wiped away the dried-on lash glue — revealing totally clean and unpainted cuticles.
“Omg love this so helpful wtf,” commented @greeny435.
4. Fend off wardrobe malfunctions
TikToker @badgalbui proclaimed eyelash glue to be her best friend when she found herself without fashion tape but wanting to wear a low-cut halter top.
After affixing the top with a little glue, she tested the hack by shaking her shoulders and tugging at the neckline. “I’m not going anywhere!” she exclaimed.
In the comments of others’ videos, TikTokers shared how eyelash glue has saved them from other wardrobe malfunctions.
“We used it to keep our [swimsuit] bottoms stuck to our cheeks during swimsuit contests. Worked better than spray adhesive!!” user @tiffanydtoks commented on @jenniferreneephotography‘s video.
“My mom had really thin straps that wouldn’t stay in place so we used lash glue to hold them up. Worked like a charm” wrote @breeb99 in response to @weddingcontentcreator‘s video.
5. Bedazzle your hair
As demonstrated by TikToker Lorraine Ehrhardt (@lorraineehrhardt), lash glue can also be used to take cute hairstyles to a whole new level with the help of some everyday nail gems.
Ehrhardt found it easier to apply glue directly to her hair rather than the gem and used an eyeliner pencil to help pick up the gems. She made bedazzling her hair look effortless. And according to her, removing the gems and washing out the glue was just as easy.
Whether it’s for prom, a wedding, or an engagement party, #lashgluehacks — boasting more than 67 million hacks on TikTok — are proving to be invaluable in a host of formal situations.
