GOAT and BAE are our two fastest lash adhesives. Both cure in 0.5–1 second, both work at 60–79°F, and both are made for advanced artists. The only real difference is humidity, and that one number decides which bottle belongs in your lash room.
GOAT vs BAE at a glance

Pick GOAT if your room runs dry
GOAT is built for 25–50% humidity. That's the room with the heat running all winter, or a studio with strong AC. If your hygrometer usually reads under 40%, start with GOAT.
Pick BAE if your room runs humid
BAE is built for 40–70% humidity, with 55% as the sweet spot. If you can't fully control the moisture in your room, BAE gives you more room to work. If your hygrometer usually reads over 50%, start with BAE.
Between 40% and 50%? Either works
Both ranges overlap at 40–50% humidity. Many artists keep both and switch with the seasons: GOAT when the air is dry, BAE when it's humid.
Not working at advanced speed yet?
A 0.5–1 second cure leaves very little time to place each extension. If you need more working time, look at these instead:
- LOYAL: 2-second dry, 45–75% humidity, for beginner to advanced artists.
- Ghosted: a clear adhesive with a 1–2 second dry and 20–60% humidity range.
- 67: no temperature or humidity requirements, in purple so you can see your bond.
Measure before you choose
Don't guess your humidity. A simple hygrometer at your lash station tells you which range you're actually working in. Check it at different times of day and in different seasons.
