Review Comparison: DUO Surgical Adhesive vs DUO Eyelash Adhesive Waterproof



Did you know there are two types of DUO glue available? 







One thing that I dislike about DUO glue is that the opening is big - so it's very easy to squeeze out too much glue, which then gets messy especially if you squeezed excess glue past the lash band
Here's a picture to demonstrate


Opening for DUO Surgical Adhesive (left) vs opening for DUO Eyelash Adhesive (right) 

But notice how much smaller the opening is for the DUO Eyelash adhesive (waterproof)
It is so much easier to control the amount of glue with the waterproof version

I did not test if the DUO Eyelash adhesive is waterproof because splashing water on my face full of makeup and false lashes is not a good idea - plus, if water gets near your fake lashes it ruins the shape/curvature of them

But for several days that I was wearing false lashes, I glued one of the strip lashes down using the DUO Surgical Adhesive and the other strip lashes down using DUO Eyelash Adhesive (waterproof)
And each time both glues held up very well (+15 hours) and they were both as easy to remove
So in terms of wear and removal, they're both identical to me

As for the awful smell of the glue, they both smell the same but the smell of the DUO Eyelash Adhesive (waterproof) seems to be less pungent probably because the opening is a lot smaller

Overall: Yes, you get twice the amount of glue in the DUO Surgical Adhesive (non-waterproof) version.  However, I prefer the DUO Eyelash Adhesive (waterproof) version simply because the opening is much smaller and there's a lot less error when it comes to excess glue being squeezed out. Plus, a little goes a long way and the smaller tube of DUO waterproof glue will last a good few months so the size difference does not bother me in this case
