Magnetic lashes are a popular alternative to traditional false lashes that use lash glue. They come in a kit that includes a pair of strip lashes with tiny magnets attached to them and an eyeliner that is magnetized. Here are the steps to apply magnetic lashes:
- Shake the eyeliner before use.
- Apply one coat of eyeliner along the lash line and let it dry.
- Apply a second coat to create a thicker lash line and wait 2-3 minutes for it to dry.
- Curl your natural lashes and apply a layer of mascara so that the falsies will hold better.
- Place the magnetic lash strip onto the magnetized eyeliner and over your natural lashes, starting from the middle and adjusting the outer corner and inner corner last.
- Adjust the lashes as needed.
It is important to wash your hands thoroughly before touching near your eyes and ensure a comfortable fit line by trimming the false lashes down to match the width of your natural lashes. Some magnetic lash kits come with a magnetic liner and applicator so that you can simply press the magnetic lash strip onto the magnetized eyeliner and over your natural lashes, sans mess.
It is recommended to apply a layer of mascara before applying magnetic lashes so that the falsies will hold better. Also, it is important to wait for the eyeliner to dry before applying the lashes.
The main ingredients in a magnetic eyeliner are iron oxides, which are mineral deposits that have magnetic properties. Magnetic eyelashes are generally safe to use, but it is recommended to do a patch test to check for any negative reactions before using the product near your eyes.
