Mehron AdGem Adhesive rhinestone & eyelash glue .17 fl oz — latex-free, water-resistant hold

Mehron AdGem Adhesive is a vegan, latex-free cosmetic glue formulated to secure rhinestones, gems, false eyelashes and other face or body decorations with long-lasting, water-resistant hold.

Built for performers, makeup artists and anyone who wants reliable sparkle, Mehron AdGem delivers a secure bond without latex or animal-derived ingredients. This small but powerful .17 fl oz tube (also available in larger pro sizes) is designed for precise application on delicate facial skin and body surfaces. It dries tacky within about 30 seconds, creating an invisible anchor for decorative elements while remaining flexible and comfortable during wear.

How quickly does AdGem dry and set for decorations?

AdGem becomes tacky after a short drying period so accessories adhere firmly without waiting long under lights or between costume changes. For most rhinestones and lashes the recommended wait time is about 30 seconds before pressing the piece into place. This gives you time to position items accurately while ensuring a dependable bond.

• Dries to a tacky finish in ≈30 seconds
• Allows short working time for positioning
• Creates an invisible hold—no white residue when dry

Can I use AdGem on sensitive skin and around the eye area?

Mehron AdGem is latex-free and vegan, which reduces common irritants found in some glues; however, individual sensitivities vary. It is formulated for cosmetic use around the eye area and for face and body decorations, but patch testing is recommended before full application. Remove immediately if irritation occurs and consult product safety guidance.

• Latex-free formula suitable for many sensitive users
• Intended for eyelash and skin application—avoid direct eye contact
• Patch test a small area before extended or repeated use

How strong is the hold and how do I remove AdGem safely?

AdGem provides a strong, water-resistant hold designed for long-wear performances and events without excessive stickiness. Removal is simple: use Mehron Makeup Remover or another oil-based remover followed by soap and water to clean skin fully. Proper removal protects skin and helps maintain the condition of false lashes and reusable gems.

• Water-resistant for extended wear
• Removes easily with Mehron Makeup Remover or oil-based cleansers
• Follow with gentle washing to eliminate residue

What sizes and kit options are available for artists?

AdGem is offered in multiple formats to suit different needs: a small .17 fl oz squeeze tube ideal for quick touch-ups and personal use, a larger .5 fl oz pro size for backstage and repeated applications, and a convenience set that pairs the .17 fl oz tube with 30 rhinestones. These choices let you pick a size based on frequency of use and project scale.

• .17 fl oz squeeze tube for precise, travel-friendly use
• .5 fl oz pro size for frequent or professional applications
