Best Magnetic Eyelashes Reviews

Magnetic Eyelashes: Aside from the fact that they’re messy, difficult to apply, and even harder to remove without also ripping off your real lashes along with them, adhesive false eyelashes are great! (Is my sarcasm showing?) But what if I told you there was a way to get the long, fluffy lashes of your dreams for less money than eyelash extensions and without all the sticky, tricky application? Enter: Magnetic lashes.

Just pop ’em on whenever you want a little extra lash, simple as that. But are they safe? And if so, which ones should you use? We talked to Ilyse Haberman, MD, an ophthalmologist at NYU Langone Health, to figure out the answers to all your questions about magnetic eyelashes.

If you love false lashes but hate wrangling with lash glue, magnetic lashes are the way to go. As the name suggests, magnetic lashes skip the adhesive entirely by using tiny magnets to attach to the lashline. Nailing the application takes some practice but the benefits are worth it—less mess and long-lasting hold, just to name a few.

Application: As we said before, applying magnetic lashes is not easy. It took both our testers, even the professional, a while to get the hang of it. There was not much range in difficulty of application, as all of our finalists proved equally difficult to get the hang of. However, one of our testers noted that the One Two Lash – Founder’s Lash and 3 Second Lash – Magnetic Eyelashes were a bit easier to apply because they only had one magnet per strip.

Material: Most of the lashes we tested were made of synthetic fibers. Our testers had problems with the unnatural, plastic shininess of 3 Second Lash – Magnetic Eyelashes, AsaVea – Magnetic Eyelashes and VASSOUL – 3D Magnetic Eyelashes. In particular, one of our testers said that 3 Second Lash’s product looked “like lashes for a Halloween costume.”

However, our testers were fine with the way the lashes of the Eylure – Opulent Corner and One Two Lash – Founder’s Lash sets looked, even though these were also made of synthetic fibers.

How Do Magnetic Eyelashes Work

1. Don’t pull them off. Slide the magnets apart.
I actually didn’t realize this until after I pulled the magnetic strips off in Vegas and took some of my real lashes along with them.

2. Put on the top lashes first.
Balancing the top half of the magnetic extensions on top of my natural lashes made applying them MUCH easier than sliding the bottoms underneath my natural lashes and then trying to apply the tops without dropping the bottoms.

3. Wear a thick black liner to help the magnetic eyelashes blend into your lash line.
This is just a good idea if you’re wearing any type of lash extensions. To make the shiny black magnets blend in, even more, swipe some black matte liner on top. Permanent marker might help too.

4. Put your mascara on before your lashes.
That way, you can avoid getting mascara on the extensions, thus extending their life. Unlike traditional strips, magnetic eyelashes can be reused over and over again, but only if you keep them makeup-free.

How To Put On Magnetic Eyelashes

If there’s one product in our beauty bags that we have a love-hate relationship with, it’s false eyelashes. While they make for a stunning and dramatic look that we could never achieve with our drugstore mascara alone, they’re pretty much guaranteed to leave us picking glue off of our eyelids before the night is even over—not cute.

The directions for most magnetic lashes are simple enough. A set comes with a top and bottom lash for each eye. To apply magnetic lashes, take the top lash and line it up with your natural lash line, gently pressing it into place. With your eye open, take the bottom lash (which will usually be marked by a dot or other indicator) and line it up underneath the top magnetic lash along your lash line. When both lashes are lined up, the magnets will lock together.

Also, they’re just plain hard to apply. Enter: magnetic lashes—the simpler, mess-free, longer-lasting, reusable alternative to traditional falsies. For each eye, two strips are sandwiched around your real lashes and snap together with virtually invisible magnets. It may take a few minutes to get the hang of it, but many sets come with magnetic tweezers that make application a breeze.
