Magnetic Lashes: How Do They Work and Are They Safe? (2026)

What are magnetic lashes?

Magnetic lashes are false lashes attached with tiny magnets — completely without glue on your lashes. Each lash has 5 magnets that attach to a special magnetic eyeliner. Quick to apply, easy to remove and reusable again and again.

How do magnetic lashes work?

The principle is simple and works with the magnetic eyeliner method:

1. Apply the magnetic eyeliner — draw a line along your lash line, as if making a little wing. Make the line slightly thicker than usual, so the lash lands right on the liner and holds well.
2. Let the liner dry — wait until the eyeliner is completely dry. This is the crucial step: wet liner doesn't hold well.
3. Place the magnetic lash — hold the lash above your line and let the magnets 'click' onto the liner. The magnets give a firm, even hold along the whole lash line.
4. Check and adjust — not quite straight? Simply lift the lash off and place it again.

How do you remove magnetic lashes?

Removing them is very easy:

1. Lift the lash off with your fingers — the magnets release easily. No remover needed for the lash itself.
2. Remove the eyeliner with an oil-based product — use an oil-based make-up remover or micellar water to remove the magnetic eyeliner from your eyelid.
3. Clean the magnets without oil — important: never clean the magnets with oil-based products. Oil makes the magnets lose their grip. Gently scrape off any residue with your nail or a dry cotton bud. That's it!

Benefits of magnetic lashes

• No glue on your lashes — ideal for people with sensitive skin or an allergy to lash glue.
• Quick to apply — once you're used to it, they're on in no time.
• Easy to remove — simply lift them off with your fingers.
• Reusable again and again — with good care they last a long time.
• No glue residue on your own lashes.

Are magnetic lashes safe?

Yes, magnetic lashes are safe for most people. The magnets sit along the lash line, far enough from your eyeball. They're especially suitable for people who are allergic to lash glue. Always buy quality products — cheap versions can irritate the eyes. Check the ingredients of the magnetic eyeliner if you have allergies.

Frequently asked questions about magnetic lashes

How thick should I apply the magnetic eyeliner?
A bit thicker than regular eyeliner — think of a little wing. That gives the lash a wide enough base to land on and click into place.

Can I clean the magnets with make-up remover?
Don't use oil on the magnets. Gently scrape off residue with your nail or a dry cotton bud.

How long do magnetic lashes last?
With good care, magnetic lashes can be reused dozens of times. Store them dry and never clean the magnets with oil.

Are magnetic lashes suitable for beginners?
Yes! After a few practice runs you'll apply them quickly. The trick is in the eyeliner — applying it a bit thicker than usual makes the difference.

Can I wear magnetic lashes if I have a pacemaker?
We advise against it. The magnets are small, but always consult your doctor if in doubt.
