Varieties
These eyelashes are sold in sets. Inside there are four strips with bristles - 2 parts per eyelid.

- in packs with magnetic tape for attaching false eyelashes.
Depending on the number of lashes placed on the base of metal plates, there are several types of eyelashes.
On one magnet
These are small pieces of ribbons with artificial hairs, equipped with a single magnet. They are called bundles or corners.... Most often, the length of the bundle does not exceed 1.2 cm.
Place them at the outer corners of the eyes. Such eyelashes help to visually change the shape of the eye, and at the same time make the look more expressive. Especially suitable for creating "Fox" effect.
On two elements
These are full-length lashes with one magnetic body at the beginning of the lash line and another at the end. The disadvantage of this option is the risk of sagging in the middle of the tape., since the plates are located only on the sides.
On three mounts
This option provides the most reliable grip. The magnets are glued in three areas, no sagging in the middle. This attachment allows you to carry maximum lush eyelashes. True, the weight of such accessories is slightly higher than that of others. Therefore, it is recommended to use them not for every day, but only in special cases.
Features of choice
Before purchasing, it is advisable to decide for what purpose magnetic eyelashes are needed. If for every day, then it is better to choose bundles. They are more convenient to mount and lighter in weight.
If you need to look decent at some serious event, then full-size products that are glued to the entire lash line are perfect. Moreover, you can choose any desired shape, length and density.
Kits are commercially available that consist of the following items.
- Bundle eyelashes. Most often these are pieces of tape with one magnet. There are also two magnets, but they are less common. Ideal for frequent use.
- 2-3 options for long and short artificial hair strips. Such accessories allow you to independently create an effect of your choice - brighter or more modest.
- Full-length lashes that adhere to the entire eyelid. They can be shortened depending on the physiological characteristics of the eyes.
Regardless of the type of product chosen, it must in any case be original. For example, eyelashes from a trusted brand Magnet lashes. Today they are the sales leaders.The brand offers the lightest models (less than 2 g) for day and evening make-up.
These are quite expensive, but very high quality products made of hypoallergenic material. The base is soft and elastic, and the fastening is comfortable and quick.
Soft and natural eyelashes on a plastic band that easily follows the curves of the eyelids is a different brand Magnetic Eyelashes. Slightly inferior in product quality from Lady victory... Eyelashes have a slightly stiff base; fastening requires a certain skill. They differ in an affordable price.
The optimal combination of price and quality is observed in products from Huda Beauty. Eyelashes from Starlet Professional have a low price, however, they require experience in fastening, since sagging in the middle of the tape is possible.
You can meet the novelty of the beauty sphere so far only in online stores; you should order eyelashes only from official representatives or directly from the manufacturer.
If, when buying magnetic eyelashes, you need to make a partial or full prepayment, this is a reason to doubt the authenticity of the product.
The original product is paid upon receipt and personal quality control of the product. There is always the right to refuse a purchase and not pay.
When receiving magnetic eyelashes, first of all it is necessary inspect their packaging. It should be complete, without chips or cracks. The products themselves should not stick to each other and emit an unpleasant odor. The bases must be flexible with magnets tightly attached to them. It is not difficult to distinguish counterfeit products. Such eyelashes tend to crumble quickly, and metal plates - peel off.
How to use it correctly?
In order for magnetic eyelashes to last as long as possible, they must be carefully looked after and applied carefully. One pair can be used up to 3-4 months. Store accessories in their "native" packages.
After removing the eyelashes, wipe the magnetic elements with a cotton applicator moistened with toner or micellar water. Otherwise, leftover sebum, dust or mascara may impair the adhesion next time.
By the way, many girls cut long eyelash bands and use them as corners.
How to put it on?
Despite the fact that the correct step-by-step instruction implies the imposition of the upper layer first, and then the lower one, in practice the situation is different. It is much more convenient to put on the eyelashes by adhering to following technique:
- you need to start the process with the lower eyelashes (for convenience at home, you can use tweezers);
- it is necessary to put a tape with artificial hairs on the lower eyelid as close to the lash line as possible and close your eyes;
- put the other part of the strip on top so that the magnetic elements coincide and stick to each other.
Do the same with the second eye. No need to be upset if you don't get it right the first time. It is not always possible to attach eyelashes right away, it is great if there is someone nearby who can help. To achieve the desired effect dexterity and experience will be required. It is advisable not to touch your eyes or squint for no reason.
By the way, many girls put on magnetic eyelashes in two strips at the same time, holding the upper layer by the outer corner, and the lower one by the inner one. In this way, according to reviews, it is much easier to connect the metal plates to each other.
How to shoot?
Magnetic eyelashes are removed absolutely painlessly. At the same time, native eyelashes do not suffer, do not pull out. For this you need:
- rub the attachment points of the plates a little so that they move;
- pull the bases with artificial hairs in different directions so that the magnetic field is finally broken.
Or you can use another method. Just pry on the middle of the tape, where there are no magnets, with your fingernail and gently slide it off your eyelashes.
Makeup recommendations
Despite the very concept of magnetic fastening, many customers use some tricks for a more reliable grip. For example, when putting on, glue is applied to the base of the artificial eyelashes... This technique significantly speeds up the fixation process.
To prevent magnetic hairs from flying off, sagging or puffing up, you need to prepare your eyelashes. They must first be painted with ink with a thick layer and allowed to dry. And then apply ribbons with bristles. This way they will hold on more securely.
So that the transition between your eyelashes and magnetic ones is not sharp and catchy, it is better to use eyeliner. In this case, the edge of the eyelid will look more natural.
If you still cannot use these fashion accessories, but you have a great desire, you can decorate the eyes with bunches. They are easier to fix. If one of the magnetic elements falls during attachment, it can be attached back with special glue.
