Super Bonder for lash extensions 15ml
Professional Lash Primer 15ml
Lash primer and super bonder are two different products used at opposite ends of an application. Primer prepares the natural lash before adhesive is applied; super bonder is a finishing step used according to its product directions. Neither one replaces lash glue.
What does lash primer do?
Primer is applied to the natural lashes before the extension goes on. Its job is to leave the lash surface clean and ready, so the adhesive cures consistently instead of sitting on top of oils or residue. Artists typically apply it with a micro brush along the lash line and let it dry before starting the set.

How primer affects retention
Retention problems are usually blamed on the adhesive, but the surface the adhesive meets matters just as much. Natural lashes carry oils, conditioner residue and makeup, and adhesive does not bond well to any of them. Priming the lash immediately before application gives the adhesive a cleaner surface, and the difference usually shows up in the first week - the period when a set either holds or starts to slip.
Primer also improves consistency. When two artists work with the same adhesive and get different results, the difference is often preparation rather than technique. Applying primer thinly along the lash line, letting it dry completely, then loading the adhesive takes a few seconds per eye and removes one variable from the appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need primer if I already cleanse the lashes?
They are different steps. Cleansing removes surface oils, and primer prepares the lash surface right before adhesive is applied. Artists who see inconsistent bonding often find that adding primer stabilises the result.
Can I skip super bonder?
It is a finishing step rather than a structural one, so follow the product directions and your own results. If you use it, apply it after the set is complete and avoid the lash line.
Is lash primer the same as lash glue?
No. Primer has no bonding function; it is a preparation product. Adhesive is what holds the extension, and it is listed separately under lash glue.
How long should primer dry before applying extensions?
Let it dry fully - typically seconds when applied thinly with a micro brush. A wet lash line will weaken the initial bond.
