@elitelonglashes I don't use primer. I use a Korean super bonder instead. After the final shampoo, I dispense a small drop onto a micro applicator and brush it through the natural lashes to remove any leftover makeup and prep the lashes safely. I apply it before and after lashing, and that's why my retention lasts up to a month. #LashRetention #SuperBonder #LashArtis ♬ Countless - Official Sound Studio

The Elite Dual-Application Technique

Most artists only use a bonder at the very end of a set. However, for maximum retention and a truly clean canvas, we recommend a two-step approach that transforms your results from good to extraordinary.

01

The Prep

After shampooing, apply Super Bonder with a micro-applicator to remove microscopic oils and makeup residue that shampoo leaves behind β€” creating the perfect bonding surface before a single extension is placed.

02

The Seal

Apply one final coat directly on the bonding points after finishing the set. This instantly cures the adhesive, locks in flexibility, and neutralizes fumes that cause that notorious post-appointment burn.


Why We've Moved Away From Primers

With over 20 years in the industry, we've seen firsthand what long-term primer use does to natural lashes and adhesive bonds. Here's what the research and our experience have shown:










βœ•
Primer Risk #1

Natural Lash Damage

Traditional primers have a high alcohol content that progressively dehydrates and weakens the natural lash β€” the very foundation you're building on.









Primer Risk #2

Brittle Bonds & Early Loss

Primers can trigger "shock curing" β€” the adhesive polymerizes too rapidly, creating a fragile outer shell that pops off before the bond is truly set.










Primer Risk #3

Client Irritation

Primers don't seal fumes β€” they add to the chemical environment around the eye. Super Bonder actively neutralizes cyanoacrylate fumes for a far more comfortable experience.
