The 6 Best Magnetic Lashes of 2019
The 6 Best Magnetic Lashes of 2019
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.
Here, we rounded up the best magnetic lashes, from high-end picks to drugstore favorites.
Best Overall: Ardell Magnetic Lash Accent #001
These tiny clusters serve as accents for your natural lashes rather
than a full strip, but they make a big impact nonetheless. Several tiny
magnets along the strip ensure the ends won’t lift up (a common problem
with lesser falsies) and the even distribution makes them easy to trim.
Reviewers recommend applying light mascara beforehand to lend the lashes
some traction. There is an initial learning curve, but once they’re on,
they blend well with natural eyelashes.
Best Budget: Arvesa Magnetic Eyelashes
Like the Ardell lash accents, these lightweight lashes only cover
part of the lash line. Available in generous eight-packs, one set comes
with a magnetic storage tray (so you don't immediately lose them) and a
pink applicator to help apply the lashes. These lash accents only have
two magnets, but reviewers found this made them easier to trim down to
fit their eyes. What's more, the longer fringe at the ends tapers your
eyes into a subtle winged look.
Best Accent: Sephora Collection One Two Lash Magnetic Lashes in Accent
These lash clusters are so fine and wispy, you'll probably forget
you're wearing them. They nestle into the outer corners of your eyes and
create a beautiful tapered look straight out of the box. They’re also
easy to customize: You can trim down the lashes to a more natural
length, or shape them into a dramatic taper for a bold cat eye. Because
of their subtlety, the Accent Lashes work especially well on short
lashes. The invisible band and lightweight design eschew the
sometimes-uncomfortable weight of traditional false lashes.
They’re a bit of a splurge (especially if you’ve been raised on
drugstore alternatives) but they distinguish themselves with extra-soft
fibers that imitate real lashes. Once you master the application, these
are some of the easiest magnetic lashes to wear.
Best Natural Look: Lash'd Up Magnetic Lashes
Not only are these magnetic lashes comfortable to wear, they're also
easy to apply, per the brand. They feature two magnetic strips in each
corner to secure the lashes in place. Once they're on, they'll stay
there all day and night without irritation.
Best Dramatic Look: Ardell Magnetic Lash #110
If simple lash accents don’t suffice, these full lash strips should
fit the bill. All of the aforementioned tips apply: Add a light coating
of mascara to your lashes first (as close to the roots as possible), and
have a little patience the first time you try to apply them. Once these
are on, they fulfill all sorts of promises in mascara ad copy—they look
natural but defined, with the drama and fullness you look for from full
lash strips.
Best Lengthening: Sephora Collection One Two Lash Magnetic Lashes in Full Volume
If you're frustrated with short lashes—or simply want a more dramatic
look—then a pair of lengthening lashes can really make your eyes pop.
Each of these sets comes with two pairs of lashes housed in a glossy
magnetic case. The applicator, which is also magnetic, holds on to the
lashes and makes an otherwise-tricky application a lot easier. (This is
especially handy when you’re first getting used to the magnets.) And
once they're on, they don’t go anywhere. These dramatic lashes can give
you a perfect fringe through your whole day and come right off at the
end without taking several lashes with them.
Best for Beginners: Eylure Luxe Magnetic Opulent Accent Lashes
There's a learning curve to nail a magnetic lash application, but
this pair is particularly good for beginners because it's easy to apply
and gentle to remove. One pack includes a reusable pair of magnetic
lashes (up to 15 wears!), a storage case and an applicator.
