If you’ve always coveted lush, voluminous lashes that rival lash extensions, you’ve probably tried traditional adhesive faux lashes at some point or another. I’m always in awe of the gifted makeup girls who’ve mastered the delicate art of getting them on evenly—without poking out an eye in the process—and keeping them on all night. The removal process is also stressful. The last time I wore faux lashes the glue nearly ripped off all of my own underneath as I tried to “gently” remove them without soap and water (let’s be honest; we’ve all done this).
While my lashes are relatively long naturally, I do enjoy the glamorous look of over-the-top lashes — especially for events and photoshoots. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck with falsies, so when I found out that magnetic fake eyelashes were in existence, I was instantly intrigued. So how do they work? Will they stay on? First things first, they adhere to your own lashes (with the help of a coat or two of mascara applied first) because they’re designed with six to eight ultra-tiny magnets embedded along with the band to ensure they lay down properly and won’t lift in the middle.
While the application process admittedly takes some practice—and will probably test your patience the first time—once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty foolproof. To apply, you simply align the top strip to the edges of your own lash line, and once the top and bottom strips are even, you snap them together. Aside from being easier to apply and not having to deal with a sticky glue situation, they’re also reusable, so you get more bang for your buck. Convinced yet? If so, see below for some of the best magnetic falsies to give a try.
