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

What are magnetic lashes?

Magnetic lashes are false lashes that attach via small magnets — completely without glue on your lashes. Each lash has 4 to 5 magnets that attach to a special magnetic eyeliner. Quick to apply, easy to remove and reusable time after time.

How do magnetic lashes work?

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

1. Apply the magnetic eyeliner — draw a line along your lash line, as if you're creating a wing. Make the line a little thicker than usual, so the lash lands precisely on the liner and holds well.
2. Let the liner dry — wait until the eyeliner is completely dry. This is the crucial step: a wet liner won't hold well.
3. Place the magnetic lash — hold the lash above your line and let the magnets 'click' onto the liner. The 4 to 5 magnets ensure a firm, even hold along the entire lash line.
4. Check and adjust — lash not quite straight? You can simply pull it off and reposition it.

How do you remove magnetic lashes?

Removal is very easy:

1. Pull the lash off with your fingers — the magnets release easily. No remover needed for the lash itself.
2. Remove the eyeliner with oil — use an oil-based make-up remover or micellar water to remove the magnetic eyeliner from your eyelid.
3. Clean the magnets without oil — this is important: never clean the magnets on the lash with oil-based products. Oil damages the magnets and they lose their strength. Gently scrape away any glue residue with your nail or a dry cotton bud (Q-tip). That's all!

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 get the hang of it, it's done in no time.
• Easy to remove — just pull them off with your fingers.
• Reusable time after time — with good care they last a long time.
• No damage — 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 and far enough from your eyeball. They are particularly suitable for people who are allergic to lash glue. Always buy quality products — cheap versions can irritate the eyes.

Frequently asked questions about magnetic lashes

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

Can I clean the magnets with make-up remover?
Don't use any oil on the magnets — it damages them. Gently scrape off residue with your nail or a dry Q-tip.

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 tries you'll apply them quickly. The trick is in the eyeliner — applying it a little 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.
