Black and Brown Magnetic Eyeliner: How to Use It and How Long It Lasts

Youthphoria's Hybrid Magnetic Liner comes in black and brown, is oil free, and lasts 60 to 100 uses per 5ml bottle. Draw it thin along the lash line in two to three coats, let it go tacky, and the lash grips it. We are the only Australian brand carrying a brown magnetic liner.

What makes it a "hybrid" liner?

It is both a magnetic liner and a polymer bonding liner in one formula, which is why it works with Youthphoria magnetic lashes and still improves the hold on ordinary strip lashes. It is quick drying, highly pigmented and oil free, which matters at removal time: you do not need a heavy oil cleanser scrubbed across your eyelid to shift it.

How do you apply it?

1. Draw firmly in one long stroke, thin and close along the natural lash line, above the lashes rather than into them. Resting your little finger on your cheekbone steadies your hand.
2. If a single stroke is hard, mark small dots along the lash line first and join them up.
3. Build two to three thin coats, letting each go semi dry before the next. The liner should be about as thick as the magnets on the band.
4. Do not wait for it to dry completely. You want it tacky, roughly 70 to 80% dry, before the lash goes on.

Start on a clean, dry, bare lid. Magnetic liner will not grip through moisturiser, eye cream or primer.

How long does a bottle last?

A 5ml bottle gives roughly 60 to 100 uses. For hygiene, replace it after about three months once opened, as you would any eye product. Close the lid firmly every time, because a liner left open dries out long before you have finished it.

Can you use it with lashes from other brands?

It is designed for Youthphoria lashes and works best with them, but because the formula is a hybrid it also holds ordinary strip lashes and other magnetic lashes, and generally improves how they sit.

Can you wear ordinary eyeliner with it?

Yes. A regular eyeliner underneath is useful as a guide to trace, or to fill any gaps between the band and the lash line once the lash is on. With the clear liner you can wear any colour underneath, since the clear liner itself dries invisible.

Is it waterproof?

Yes. Waterproof, smudge proof and sweat proof, and it holds through a full day and evening.

How do you remove it?

A gel based face wash massaged into the eyelid for 30 to 60 seconds lifts it, often coming away like a film. A clean makeup brush helps work it in. An oil based micellar water pressed onto the liner for about 30 seconds before wiping also works, as does our own Micellar Foam Cleanser and Makeup Remover. Water on its own will not shift it, and scrubbing is not the answer. The full removal guide is here.

One thing not to do: never use those removers on the lash band itself. They break the band down. Clean the lashes with Isocol instead.
