If you’re looking for D-R-A-M-A, these magnetic lashes are it. The Paris lashes create a statement-making cat-eye effect perfect for full glam looks that’ll make you say, “Ooh la la.” And with 12 magnets holding the lash to the magnetic eyeliner (which is included), these lashes are easy to secure and won’t budge throughout the night.

THE REVIEW: “I never knew applying lashes could get easier than they already were,” one reviewer wrote. “It took me less than 30 seconds to apply these lashes and I’m beyond shook.”

If you’re like me, you always stress about running out of things. Like, say, magnetic eyeliner specifically meant to work with your falsies. Luxillia’s Magnetic Eyelashes set comes with extra smudge-proof and waterproof liner, enough to secure multiple uses of each magnetic lash pair — this set comes with 5. Plus, you can purchase the liner separately in black or brown if you run out.

THE REVIEW: “I am obsessed with these lashes! I’ve tried a bunch of brands and these work,” wrote one reviewer. “I will definitely be buying again as they are so affordable for everyday use!”

When you’re new to magnetic lashes, or you’re just playing around with different styles, I recommend grabbing a kit that comes with a few lash options and a magnetic liner. This one has five pairs of lashes ranging from separated and natural to long and voluminous, plus a full-size magnetic liner that’ll help you keep creating ~lewks~ for months before it runs out.

THE REVIEW: “I am not good at doing makeup and do not wear makeup often, but I bought these lashes for our family pictures,” one reviewer wrote. “I was in a big hurry getting ready, and these lashes went on so easily and stayed really well.”

Of all the magnetic lashes I’ve tried, these fluttery, short magnetic liner lashes are the ones that I continuously go back to. They add just the right amount of length and volume to intensify whatever eye look I’m wearing, and they also fit comfortably behind my sunglasses without bugging my eyes all day. I also love how the rounded shape gives virtually all shapes a more defined finish, without looking too dramatic.

THE REVIEW: “These are amazing and easy as can be to use. They are so easy to apply to the liner instead of messy glue, and they’re reusable. They last all night but come off easily when you want them to," wrote one reviewer. "I've been in rain, humidity, etc., and they stay put all night. I will forever be using these.”

I’m prone to teary eyes, I’ve got oily skin, and I’m also a ~sweaty gworl~, which made me the ideal candidate to test out these lashes that apply with waterproof magnetic eyeliner. Turns out, they legitimately do stay in place all day. Even in some seriously humid and itchy conditions, these magnetic lashes didn’t wiggle or slide, and all five pairs (ranging from v fluttery and wispy to thick and voluminous) felt comfortable and secure during testing—which is probably why they have more than 31,000 positive reviews on Amazon.

THE REVIEW: “I cannot put falsies on to save my life,” one reviewer wrote. “So, I crossed my fingers and purchased these. Someone said if you had a hard time with liquid eyeliner to put pencil liner on first so you had a guide to follow. This worked wonders for me. If I could give more stars, I would.”

Sure, the whole point of magnetic lashes is that they’re easier to apply than traditional falsies, but these wispy, faux-mink lashes are on another level of ease. These lashes require zero trimming to fit most testers’ eyes, which is an absolute game-changer for anyone who already hates fake lashes. They also have a fine inner corner that keeps them looking natural, but tons of volume in the center that softly flare out into a wing.

THE REVIEW: “My very first magnetic lashes, and I might stop using regular ones after all,” one reviewer wrote. “They are weightless, comfortable, and stay on all day. I love that these lashes don’t require trimming, and my favorite part? No glue.”

Truth: Some magnetic liquid liners were annoyingly difficult to apply during testing (I’m more of an eyeliner pencil girl, tbh). But this magnetic eyeliner and eyelash set was surprisingly easy, thanks to its felt-tip liner that helped me create a thin line without skipping or bleeding. These lashes are also a favorite of makeup artist Ehlie Luna, who loves that they have “10 magnets to help the lashes stay,” and are also “some of the most natural magnetic lashes I’ve tried.” Makeup artist-approved? Check.

THE REVIEW: "The magnet makes these lashes fall right into place," wrote one reviewer. "Super easy to get perfect placement!"

If you’ve never been able to stand the feeling of falsies brushing up against your lashes, you need to try these cult-favorite mink magnetic lashes. They were designed by board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Anika Goodwin to be slightly shorter than the average faux-lash design, so they’ll feel comfortable behind your glasses. Not only that, but the magnetized liquid liner is latex-free and formulated to be a lil gentler for anyone with sensitive eyes (see: allergies and contacts). Because long, voluminous lashes aren’t just reserved for 20/20 vision, okay?

MY REVIEW: These shorter lashes look so natural; like your lashes but with a boost. Being able to wear them with my sunglasses without them annoyingly touching is merely an added bonus.

Suck at doing winged eyeliner? Me too, which is why I sometimes prefer two-strip magnetic lashes which adhere to your eyes with the sandwich method (i.e., placing the upper strip on top of your lashes, and the bottom strip underneath your lashes until the magnets click together to sandwich your natural lashes). And I especially love these wispy lashes from Ardell that have a curved band for a better fit, along with a varied lash length for a more natural-looking finish.

THE REVIEW: “Once I got the hang of putting them on, these are the fastest Iashes to apply, and I can throw on in 60 seconds,” stated one review. “I don't need glue or magnet liner. I put on mascara, put the top lash on top of my real lashes, and then pop on the bottom magnet lash. One and done!”

My 2022 motto is “more money on Uber Eats, less money on magnetic lashes,” and this affordable lash kit makes that possible. Just shake the included bottle of eyeliner (gotta make sure the formula’s iron oxides—aka the magnetic magic—are evenly distributed), thinly line your upper lash line, let the liner dry, then stick on these faux-mink lashes. Honestly, you’ll be able to nail the whole process before your fries arrive.

THE REVIEW: “Once they're on, they are on,” wrote one reviewer. “I rode several roller coasters, and the eyelashes didn't budge! Like 65 mph of wind in your face, and they still looked great!”

Strip lashes might be easier to work with than individuals or smaller lash clusters, but they can also be a bit overwhelming for newbies who want to ease into the false lash look. Whether you’re new to falsies or just looking for a more subtle look, this lash cluster kit has exactly what you need. The kit comes with 12 lash clusters — 6 medium length and 6 long — to completely customize your lashes. Just make sure you don’t clump the lashes too close together, as the magnets on the lashes can stick to each other if you’re not careful.

• Style: Lash flares
• Length: Medium and long
  
• Type: Magnetic liner
  
• Materials: Faux mink fiber
  
• Pairs included: 12 clusters
  
• Wears: Up to 15
  

THE REVIEW: “These are a game changer,” noted one reviewer. “The lashes do stick together if you place them near each other, but as long as the eyeliner is completely dried, I have had no issues removing them and replacing them without messing up my makeup at all.” They added, “If you’re awful at lashes like me, these are for you! They make wearing lashes to everyday events possible.”

If you love the hella-soft and fluffy look of mink lashes, but you don’t particularly want to buy the real, straight-from-the-animal thing, you need to try these faux-mink magnetic lashes, which are the closest I’ve found to real mink in a vegan material. They're surprisingly silky and fluttery, but even with a magnetic band, they still feel lightweight on your eyes.

THE REVIEW: “I love these lashes very much,” wrote one tester. “The length and style are perfect, and the application is a breeze. The lashes themselves come off very easily too.”

Out of all the magnetic eyelashes I tested, these accent lashes were my favorite for the days when I wanted a little ~oomph~ on my outer corners without the feel of a heavy lash. And they're way easier to apply: Just line your lash line with three coats of the included magnetic eyeliner, layer on some majorly thick and volumizing mascara, then place these faux-mink lashes along the outer edges of your liner for the full cat-eye effect.

THE REVIEW: “They went on perfectly within seconds and felt so secure, and they weren't heavy at all,” one review stated.

Love a winged-eye look? Amp up yours even more with these cat-eye magnetic lashes. Just draw your wings with the included magnetic eyeliner, then pop these on top. Each lash has 12 super-tiny magnets lining the band to evenly distribute their weight, meaning they won’t curl up at the corners or start to irritate your eyes after a few hours. And as for their staying power, I actually wore these to a sweat-filled Lizzo concert, and I was surprised to find that neither the lashes nor the magnetic liner even budged by the end.

THE REVIEW: “They look gorgeous and were so easy to apply,” wrote one tester in a review. “Not only that, but there were a decent amount of magnets that are close together and not spaced apart too far.”

Magnetic lashes are fake eyelashes that adhere to your eyes using either (1) magnetic lash strips sandwiched together or (2) magnetic eyeliner drawn across your lid. With the "sandwiching" technique, one lash strip (that has magnets along its base) sits underneath your natural lashes, while another lash strip (also with magnets along its base) is placed on top. The two magnets cling together and "sandwich" your natural lashes to create a fluttery lash.

Magnetic eyeliner lashes, however, are classic strip lashes with a thin magnetized base that adheres to magnetic eyeliner. These eyeliners are filled with iron oxides that work like a paint-on magnet to keep your lashes adhered until you peel them off. Yes, it really is as simple (and cool) as it sounds. Just line your lids however you like (cat eye, winged eye, whatever) and stick the lashes on—easy.

Whether glue-on falsies or magnetic eyelashes are “better” depends on your personal preference, skill level, eye sensitivity, and how long you’ll be wearing them. “Magnetic lashes are a great entry point for anyone who’s ever struggled with traditional lash glue,” says Luna, “whether you opt for magnetic strip lashes alone or apply them with magnetic liner.”

As a refresher, with classic magnetic strip lashes, you place one strip on top of your natural eyelashes and one directly underneath until they gently snap together, sandwiching your real lashes. With magnetic eyeliner lashes, however, you only need one lash strip because the strip snaps to wherever you draw on your liquid liner. Because they both use magnets to adhere, magnetic lashes tend to have more room for error and re-adjusting.

That being said, classic magnetic eyelashes can feel a bit heavy on your lashes (especially if you wear them for an entire day and night), and magnetic eyeliners, just like most liners, can break down with sweat and skin oils throughout the day. So if you want lighter-weight lashes that can stay on for at least eight hours, you may prefer traditional glue-on lashes. Yes, they take more skill and precision and trimming, but they also come in a ton of styles and length options, especially for party looks or Halloween costumes.

When applied correctly, magnetic lashes can stay on for five to nine hours, depending on the application method and how strong the magnets are. If you’re concerned about wear time, opt for lash-strip magnetic lashes, which tend to stay on a bit longer than magnetic liner lashes.

But if you do want to increase the staying power of your magnetic liner lashes, line your upper lid with one coat of magnetic liner, wait for the liner to dry, then swipe on a second layer, says Luna. Basically, the more iron oxides, the better. And if you're reusing a pair of lashes, always make sure the magnets are clean by wiping them first with a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol.

According to Luna, yes, you can use mascara with your magnetic lashes to make them blend more seamlessly with your natural eyelashes. However, only brush on one to two layers to avoid over-coating them, especially if they’re synthetic (which can result in clumpy-looking lashes). “Just make sure you're cleaning the mascara off your magnetic lashes with makeup remover after each use to keep them in good condition,” says Pesce.

Though it varies between brands, in general, you can reuse magnetic lashes anywhere from 10 to 30 times, according to Pesce. So, depending on how often you wear your lashes, you can expect them to last anywhere from a month to a year—or even longer (if you only wear them on, say, your birthday). How do you know when it’s ready to toss ‘em and try a new pair? If your lashes look dingy or are coated with lots of mascara that won’t come off, if the lash band isn’t sticking anymore, or if they’ve lost their shape.

Nope, when applied correctly, magnetic lashes won't damage your natural lashes and are considered relatively safe to use (though, of course, this depends on the strength of your lashes and the sensitivity of your eyelids). Still, any type of fake lash that clings to your lashes or sticks to your skin can potentially cause irritation or lash damage if you use them for prolonged periods of time without breaks.

The biggest risk comes with magnetic lashes that sandwich your own lashes. For these, board-certified dermatologist Ilyse Haberman, MD, recommends "limiting the use of them to avoid any potential lash damage or traction alopecia" (FYI, traction alopecia is the medical term for hair loss that's caused by repeatedly pulling or tugging on your hair). That's not to say you can't wear these lashes once or twice a week, but be cautious about sticking them on every single day.
