How to Wear Magnetic Lashes Every Day

How to wear magnetic eyelashes every day, Youthphoria Australia

Lash care guide

Magnetic lashes are made for daily wear, and the routine takes about two minutes. Everything that makes it easy or annoying comes back to one idea: the liner sticks to your skin, not to your lashes. Get the lid clean and the liner tacky rather than wet, and the rest looks after itself.

Quick answer

Clean, dry, bare lid. Magnetic liner will not grip through moisturiser, eye cream or primer. Oily lids are the number one reason a band lifts by lunchtime.
Wait about 45 seconds after drawing the liner, until it is tacky rather than wet, then place the band from the outer corner in.
Eye makeup before the lash, never after. Powder on tacky liner ruins the grip.
Peel gently from the outer corner at night. Never drag sideways. Nothing is attached to your natural lashes, so there is nothing to fight.
Rotate two pairs. Wear one while the other dries completely. This is what gets a lash past 30+ wears.
Wondering if daily wear is safe? We answer that in full in are magnetic eyelashes safe to wear every day.

The morning routine

Clean, dry, bare lid. Magnetic liner does not grip through moisturiser, eye cream, primer or yesterday's residue. If you use eye cream in the morning, do it well before, or skip the lid entirely.

Draw the liner and wait. Take it right into the lash line, a touch thicker at the outer corner. Give it around 45 seconds until it is tacky rather than wet. Placing a band on wet liner is the most common reason lashes lift.

Place from the outer corner in. Let the magnets find the line rather than forcing them, then press along the band once it has landed.

Eye makeup last, or rather first. Shadow and mascara go on before the lash, never after. Powder settling on a tacky liner ruins the grip for the rest of the day.

If your lids run oily, blot with a tissue and dust the smallest amount of translucent powder on the lid only, well clear of the lash line, before the liner goes on. It is the difference between a band that holds all day and one you are pressing back down at 2pm.

The evening routine

One minute, every night, no exceptions.

Peel gently from the outer corner. Never drag sideways and never pull the band straight out. Your natural lashes are not attached to it.

Remove the liner properly. A gel cleanser massaged into the lid for 30 to 60 seconds, or micellar water or an oil based remover pressed on for 30 seconds then wiped. Full method in our liner removal guide.

Wipe the band, do not soak the lash. Residue on the band is what stops tomorrow's grip. Our lash cleaning guide has the detail. Then back in the case to dry and hold its curl.

Make one pair last, by owning two

Each Youthphoria lash is built for 30+ wears. The way to actually get there when you wear them daily is to own two pairs and alternate, so each band dries completely between wears. A dry band grips better, and a lash that has not been squashed damp into a case holds its curl.

Daily wear, situation by situation
Situation	What to do
Hot, humid day	Blot the lid first. Press the outer corner of the band back down at lunchtime if it lifts.
Gym or a sweaty commute	Fine to wear. Pat the lid dry, do not rub.
Hayfever season	If you are rubbing your eyes through the day, give lashes a rest until it settles.
Wearing glasses	Choose a shorter style so the fibres do not brush the lens. See our lashes and glasses guide.
Contact lenses	Lenses in first, lenses out last.
Swimming or the shower	Take them off. Heat relaxes the curl and chlorine is hard on the fibre.
Going to sleep	Always remove. Here is why.

Choosing a lash you can wear five days a week

An everyday lash is a different purchase from an event lash. Shorter, lighter and closer to your own lash line wins every time, because a lash you notice is a lash you stop wearing. Across the Youthphoria range that means the six magnet styles at the shorter end.

Serena

5mm to 9mm hybrid on a rounded band, the shortest style we make and the easiest starting point for daily wear. Glasses compatible.

Shop Serena

Lucinda

5mm to 10mm at natural volume, rounded. Enough density to replace mascara, short enough to disappear. Rated 5.0 from 21 reviews.

Shop Lucinda

Jasmine

8mm to 10mm classic volume, rounded. A defined lash line for anyone who wants their eyes to read as done rather than bare.

Shop Jasmine

Ariel

9mm to 11mm classic volume with a wispy criss-cross finish on a 33mm band. A little more length while staying genuinely wearable.

Shop Ariel

Everything you need for daily wear

Frequently asked questions

Can you wear magnetic lashes every day?

Yes, for most people with healthy eyes. No adhesive touches your skin or your natural lashes, so daily wear does not involve pulling anything off your own lash line. Keep each wear to 16 to 24 hours, take them off before you sleep, and clean your lids nightly. If you have an eye or eyelid condition, check with your optometrist or GP first.

How long can you wear magnetic lashes at a time?

Up to 16 to 24 hours in one stretch. Take them off before bed rather than sleeping in them, because a squashed band loses its curl and the lash will not last as long.

Do magnetic lashes damage your natural lashes?

No. The band grips the magnetic liner drawn on your lid, not your own lashes, so there is nothing attached to pull off. Peel gently from the outer corner, never drag sideways and never pull the band straight out.

How do you remove magnetic lashes and liner at night?

Peel the lash gently from the outer corner and set it back in its case. For the liner, massage a gel cleanser into the lid for 30 to 60 seconds, or use micellar water or an oil based remover. The residue lifts away like a film. Take the time to get the liner off properly, because leftover liner is what makes the next application patchy.

How many pairs do you need if you wear lashes every day?

Two. Each Youthphoria lash is built for 30 or more wears, and the way to actually reach that with daily wear is to alternate two pairs so each band dries completely between wears. A dry band grips better and holds its curl.

Which Youthphoria lashes are best for everyday wear?

The shorter six magnet styles. Serena at 5mm to 9mm is the shortest we make and the easiest starting point. Lucinda at 5mm to 10mm gives enough density to replace mascara. Jasmine and Ariel sit in the same everyday range. Shorter, lighter and close to your own lash line wins for daily wear, because a lash you notice is a lash you stop wearing.
