13 Best Magnetic Lashes of 2024

Whether glue-on falsies or magnetic eyelashes are “better” depends on your personal preference, skill level, eye sensitivity, and how long you’ll be wearing them. “Magnetic lashes are a great entry point for anyone who’s ever struggled with traditional lash glue,” says Luna, “whether you opt for magnetic strip lashes alone or apply them with magnetic liner.”

As a refresher, with classic magnetic strip lashes, you place one strip on top of your natural eyelashes and one directly underneath until they gently snap together, sandwiching your real lashes. With magnetic eyeliner lashes, however, you only need one lash strip because the strip snaps to wherever you draw on your liquid liner. Because they both use magnets to adhere, magnetic lashes tend to have more room for error and re-adjusting.

That being said, classic magnetic eyelashes can feel a bit heavy on your lashes (especially if you wear them for an entire day and night), and magnetic eyeliners, just like most liners, can break down with sweat and skin oils throughout the day. So if you want lighter-weight lashes that can stay on for at least eight hours, you may prefer traditional glue-on lashes. Yes, they take more skill and precision and trimming, but they also come in a ton of styles and length options, especially for party looks or Halloween costumes.
