The right choice - the key to a beautiful and healthy look. Experts recommend using a transparent adhesive that does not contain latex. In the package, it will be white. However, as soon as it dries, it will become absolutely colorless.
It is less allergic and easier to use than its black counterpart.
Also, latex-based transparent and waterproof glues regularly appear on the market. The latter are well suited for superfixation.
How to prepare the eyes for the procedure
There are several simple recommendations, following which you can achieve a beautiful and lasting result:
