What Are Pre-Bonded Lashes? (And Why Beginners Are Obsessed With Them)
If you have been thinking about trying DIY lash extensions but are terrified of the glue—you are not alone.
The idea of fiddling with black adhesive near your eyelids can be intimidating. What if it gets messy? What if I stick my eyelids together? What if I just can't get the hang of it?
Enter the game-changer of the beauty world: Pre-Bonded Lashes.
Also known as "pre-glued" lashes, these are quickly becoming the most popular choice for beginners. But do they actually stay on? And are they safe for your eyes?
In this guide, we’re breaking down exactly what they are and helping you decide if our Quickies Collection is right for you.
What Actually Are "Pre-Bonded" Lashes?
Traditional DIY lashes require a 3-step process: you brush a bond onto your natural lashes, apply the extension, and then seal it in.
Pre-bonded lashes skip the glue step entirely.
With styles like The Quickies, the adhesive is already applied to the lash band itself. It is a pressure-sensitive, medical-grade adhesive that is tacky and ready to go straight out of the box.
You simply Pick, Place, and Pop. No tubes of glue, no waiting for it to get tacky, and zero mess.
3 Reasons Why People Are Switching to Pre-Bonded
If you are already a pro at the "Bond & Seal" method, you might wonder why you would switch. Here is why our customers love them:
1. It is the Fastest Application Method (Period)
Because you aren't brushing on bond or sealing afterwards, you can apply a full set in under 5 minutes. It is perfect for busy mums or anyone who needs to get ready in a rush.
2. Great for Sensitive Eyes
One of the biggest triggers for eye sensitivity is the fumes from liquid adhesives. Because pre-bonded lashes use a "cured" adhesive on the band, there are typically fewer fumes. This makes them a fantastic alternative if your eyes tend to water with traditional glue.
3. No "Crunchy" Lashes
Sometimes, if you use too much bond, your lashes can feel a bit stiff. Pre-bonded lashes have a soft, flexible clear band that feels weightless on the eye.
The Big Question: How Long Do They Last?
This is the main difference between our OG Underlash System and The Quickies.
-
The OG System (Bond & Seal): Designed for longevity. If you want lashes that last 10+ days through sleeping, showering, and gym sessions, the liquid bond is your best friend.
-
The Quickies (Pre-Bonded): Designed for speed and ease. These will last up to 5 days. They are perfect for the "weekend warrior"—apply them Friday night for your events, and take them off easily on Tuesday.
Who Are Pre-Bonded Lashes For?
Not sure which system to buy? The Quickies are perfect for you if:
-
You are a total beginner: If you have never applied lashes before, this is the easiest starting point.
-
You have shaky hands: Dealing with liquid glue requires a steady hand. Pre-bonded lashes are much more forgiving.
-
You only want lashes for the weekend: If you love a fresh face during the week but full glam for the weekend, these are ideal.
How to Apply Them (In 3 Steps)
-
Prep: Ensure your natural lashes are clean and dry. (This is crucial—oils will stop the stickiness from working!).
-
Place: Pick up the lash cluster near the tips and place it under your natural lashes, slightly away from the waterline.
-
Press: This is the secret sauce. Use your applicator to firmly "pinch" the cluster and your natural lashes together. This activates the pressure-sensitive adhesive for a strong hold.
