Tried magnetic lashes?

My daughter wants magnetic lashes (I have extensions and she wants same look). Do they look like extensions/quality falsies? Are they safe? Do they damage natural lashes?

Magnetic lashes ARE the BOMB!!! About a month ago, I don’t know why, but about a million different versiins just showed up on Amazon. They are amazing! I wear them to work every day! You put on your mascara, then put on the top lash, open your eye as wide as you can, put the other lash underneath your eyelashes and CLICK! They’re on! They sandwich your actual eyelashes between them. And there are a lot of varieties that are not expensive! The learning curve for me was a whopping 10 minutes, and I SUCK at ‘real’ false eyelashes. These are really easy.

Do NOT buy the $60-$90 OneTwo brand which came out a year or so ago. Way overpriced.

The only thing is that I’ve struggled with is that I’ve found plenty of sets that look and work great, but they only cover the outer half-2/3 of the eye. I’ve bought several types of ‘full’ magnetic lashes, some have two magnets, some three, so far, they’re all are longer than your eye is (and you’re limited as to how much you can trim off because of the magnets), and they just look wonky. If anyone finds a good set of full magnetic lashes, that’s what I’m looking for and haven’t found.

But the shorter ones? They look like they’re full length in the ads, but they’re not. Still yet, they’re AMAZING! Easy to apply, easy to remove, no glue, and they look great. No damage to your real lashes, as they’re protected by mascara before you even put them on.. It would be nice if Sephora here would jump on this bandwagon and have them available, because there are SO MANY on Amazon (all appeared seemingly overnight, all with hundreds of stellar yet unverified reviews; it’s starting to get easier to see which ones are good and which aren’t, but in the beginning, they all had the same pictures, descriptions, and it was a guessing game). I can’t recommend them enough. Total game changer in my makeup routine. They range from extremely subtle to dramatic, and finding what works for you is something of a trial and error process, but they are generally around $10-$15; more expensive than glue ons, but many more uses from them too.

There is a really large learning curve to putting them on and taking them off. It took me around 3 weeks to get comfortable with the process and lost quite a few lashes over it.

tati did a review of them on youtube, that talked me out of trying them
