INTRODUCTION
Eyelashes are one of the most attractive attributes of the human face. A long and full eyelash can instantly improve one’s appearance. Unfortunately, there is a limit to how long and thick the natural human lash can grow. As a result of this, people have opted for the use of false lashes to add length and volume to their eyelids. let us talk about Magnetic Lashes in this article.
Magnetic Lashes are lash extensions that hang on to your eyelids with little magnets. They require no glue and are painless, convenient, and easy to wear and remove. These lashes are available in different volumes and styles depending on what style you prefer.
They come in different lengths and you might need to trim the edges sometimes if they are longer than your eyelid.
Magnetic eyelashes are made from either synthetic fiber or human hair and this makes the quality vary.
Types of Magnetic Lashes
- The ones with eyeliners – these come in a pack that contains the magnetic lashes and magnetic eyeliner for application.
- The ones without eyeliners (The sandwich technique) – these come in a pack that contains the magnetic lashes and they usually have a top and bottom strip. These strips are clipped together on the natural lashes.

How to put on Magnetic Lashes
Step 1:
Apply some mascara on your natural lash to make it more defined and prepare it for the application of magnetic lashes.
Step 2:
Apply an adequate amount of magnetic liner to your eyelid as you would apply your regular eyeliner and allow it to dry for about 30 seconds.
Place the lashes on the magnetic liner from the inward position and gently move them outward with either your fingers or tweezers, whichever is more comfortable for you and it will attach to your natural lashes immediately.
It is a simple process and the outcome is very nice.
For applying magnetic lashes without eyeliner, all you have to do is place the top strip on top of your eyelid and close it up with the bottom strip. You can apply this using your fingers or tweezers.
How to take off Magnetic Lashes
Taking off your magnetic lashes is just as easy as putting them on, if not easier.
Simply pull out the lashes from where you placed them and voila! It is off.
