I’ve been on the hunt lately for the best gel eye pads/patches around. Looking for quality, functionality, and a decent price. I’ve used a lot of different brands over the hears. Everything from expensive brands to gel patched from the 99 cent store. I realize tech and client is different, and not everyone may have the same feelings as I do when it comes to the three products I’m going to discuss. But to each their own.
For me, I need a gelpad that will stay put, not lift, slide or cause discomfort. The biggest complaint I hear from other techs is the lack of stick.
So, here’s my top 3 favorite gel eye pads/patches.
Biogel Eyepads (by SugarLash.)
variety of high end lash product lines. And that’s where I was introduced to one of the best products/gel eyepads I have ever used. Two pairs of gel eyepads come on one plastic sheet. Easy to peel off and these are STICKY! When you place them, they stay. No more slipping, lifiting, or sliding around during the lash service. And they don’t leave a sticky residue when you take them off. The best part, they are very thin! Half of a normal gelpad. Allowing for less chances of lids lifting and for clients to feel any possible fume content from adheisves, products, etc. There is also less gel which helps the gelpad avoid swelling or causing irritation during the service. But even if you only use one set and put the other aside, they NEVER dry out. Plus they are chemical free and lint free. The gelpads also act as a hydrating/ anti-anging treatment for the skin under the eyes.
I have two irritations about this product.
The first is how expensive they are.
$11.00 for 10 pairs. That may not seem like a lot. But I’m so used to buying gel eyepads in bulk that are $10.00 for 100 pairs.
The second is two pairs of gelpads come in one package. Which may question sanitary conditions by not having each pair sealed alone and not having the foil seal. The foil seal is also nice as sometimes it doubles as a adhesive cradle. (Where you place your adhesive if stickers or stones aren’t available.)

Not bad!
My only issue with this product is how thick the gel/eyepad is. After using such a thin product, I wish they were all the size and shape as the biogel- Sugar Lash version.

Rose Gold Hydrogel Eye pads (by Bella Lash.)
(More comparison pictures below.)
I have been using Bella Lash products for years and the company has truly grown and doesn’t dissapoint. They’ve created so many new innovations and products within the last 5 years.They currently have a gel eyepad that they reccomend for lash service. I don’t care for them much as I find they aren’t sticky enough and have a bad habit of lifting, sliding or causing issues.
nt breakouts. The gel has an amazing grip! They stay put once you place them down, no more sliding, lifting, etc. They come off easy and are lint free. This product is also vegan, animal cruelty free, gluten free, paraben and sulfate free, phthalates free, and has a PHD chemist approval. The gel pads have a beautiful rose gold topper. And the pairs are individually packaged in a foil packaging which is also good for sanitation standards. And the package can double as a cradle for adheisve.
My only issue with this product is that the rose gold “tops” of the gelpad can also be slightly sticky. I don’t want the product to transfer onto the lashes, so I cover the tops with a little bit of paper tape. My other issue is how thick the gel is. It’s a little more than a normal size gelpad. Not to mention the pricepoint. 10 pairs for $16.00. Ouch. Though Bella has some deals and sales from time to time, just like Sugar Lash, ev
en $10 for 10 pairs is painful.
Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Agar, Butylene Glycol, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Polyacrylic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Propanediol, Caprylyl Glyceryl Ether, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Tartaric Acid, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Betaine, Cellulose Gum, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Ubiquinone, Aluminum Glycinate.

Observe the gelpad thicknesses. Though they are stack on top of one another, you can easily see how much thinner the green life patch is compared to Bellas.
