How Magnetic Eyelashes Work
Once only adhered to your natural lash with adhesive
glue, magnetic eyelashes secure to each other, and your lash line, with
tiny magnets. The latest brand to launch this type of technology is
celebrated falsies brand, Ardell. According to Jadene Munson, the Global
Brand Ambassador, they "feature virtually invisible magnets placed
along the lash line that lock together and secure the lash along your
natural lash line." This brand's full strip lashes, specifically,
feature four magnets for an impressive hold, while the accent lashes
feature three magnets. Basically, you are sandwiching your natural
eyelashes between two strips held together with magnetic force.
How to Apply Magnetic Eyelashes
It's relatively simple. Each product will differ
slightly, so it's best to follow the instructions on the package. First,
it's often recommended to trim the lash so it'll naturally fit along
your natural lash line. Then, Munson recommends applying mascara to give
your eyelashes more grip. For Ardell's strip eyelashes, the next step
is to lay the Upper Magnetic Lash across the top of your lash line.
Then, you place the Under Magnetic Lash from the tray and place it
underneath your natural lash line. Thanks to the magnets, they will lock
in place.

Another popular brand is One Two Cosmetics,
seen above. These magnetic lashes come in full strips or half lashes to
accent the outer corners. This brand's magnetic lashes also come with
an applicator that looks a little like tweezers, but you can apply them
with your fingers, too. The same logic applies—the upper lash is
magnetically attracted to the bottom—but you can watch this short video for a visual breakdown.
To remove the Ardell lashes, Munson says to gently
pull them apart by lifting the top lash up and pulling the bottom one
down. You can also slide the top and bottom magnets away from each other
"one by one." However, you should never pull them straight off, as this
could harm your natural lashes. One Two recommends using your thumb and
index finger to slide them apart.
The Best Magnetic Eyelashes
The two brands that are creating the most buzz are One Two (onetwocosmetics.com) and Ardell (ulta.com),
both of which are reusable. When deciding between the two, consider the
price-tag, and also the material used. And if you have sensitivities or
allergies, this is extremely important. Ardell's are made with
100 percent human hair, while One Two's are synthetic. We should note
that while they're easier to use than traditional glue-on lashes, there
is still a slight learning curve. Make sure to give yourself a few
test-runs before applying them for an important event. As far as options
go, both of these brands offer different styles to choose from, whether
it's a bold and glamorous look you're attempting to recreate, or
something more subtle and natural.
