False Eyelashes and Lash Glues That Will Stay Put This Summer

As many beauty lovers will attest, false lashes are the quickest way to elevate any makeup (or no makeup) look. You can pop on a pair with a bare face for a woke-up-like-this vibe or add some extra long wisps on top of a smoky eye for extra drama and intensity.

But during the warmer months, getting your false lashes to stay put for a long time can be a bit more of a challenge. Sweat and humidity are inevitable parts of everyday life during the summer, and both factors can make it harder for fake lashes to last. We tend to find ourselves being more physically active during the summer, too, whether that means going on hot girl walks to enjoy the nice weather or playing weekend pickleball tournaments with friends.

Luckily, there are ways to make your falsies last through sweat, tears or whatever else life throws at you, starting with making sure you use the right lashes and adhesives. Keep reading for our picks for fake lashes and lash glues you can count on during the summer.

NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Lash! Longwear False Lash System

Lash application doesn’t get much easier than with this two-step system from NYX Professional Makeup. It comes with a two-in-one lash-glue-eyeliner hybrid, so all you need to do is swipe the adhesive liner along your lash line and use tweezers to put your lash band in place. These high-impact falsies stay put for up to 12 hours and can be reused up to 15 times.

NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Lash! 2-in-1 Liner & Lash Adhesive

If you already have false lashes you love, you can still try the Jumbo Lash! 2-in-1 Liner & Lash Adhesive. With this liner pen, complete with a precision felt tip, you can say goodbye to messy eyelash glue. Another pro? The waterproof, inky black formula creates the appearance of a thicker, fuller lash line.

Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara

Not sure if false lashes are for you? Get false lash length and volume with the Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara. This is one of our favorite mascaras to wear during the summer, since it’s waterproof, lightweight and doesn’t smudge or flake. The flexible tower brush allows you to completely coat every lash.

KISS FALSCARA Pride Starter Kit

For lasting wear that will stand up to sweat, celebrity makeup artist Ash K. Holm recommends using the KISS FALSCARA system, complete with the Overnighter 10 Day Sealer. “It’s basically salon lash extensions, but the DIY way,” she says. “The formula [of the sealer] lasts for up to 10 days which can be super helpful when dealing with heat and humidity."

Ardell Duo Brush-On Adhesive With Vitamins

Not only does this lash adhesive deliver budge-proof, all-day wear, but it’s enriched with vitamins A, C and E to nourish your natural lashes. It can be used on strip lashes, lash clusters and individual lashes.
