10 Reasons to Switch from Lash Extensions to Magnetic Lashes
The short version: no appointments, no glue, no damage to your own lashes, and one pair lasts 30 to 60 wears. Magnetic lashes give you the salon look at home in under a minute, and you can change the style whenever you like.
You get the look without the appointment
Salon extensions mean an hour and a half in a chair, then a refill every two to three weeks. Magnetic lashes take seconds at your own bathroom mirror, and you can go natural on Monday and dramatic on Saturday without booking anything.
They are easier to apply than strip lashes
Draw the magnetic liner, let it go tacky, and the lash finds it. No latex glue, no waiting for it to turn clear, no peeling a lash back off because it landed crooked. The full method is here, and it is genuinely easier than a strip lash.
Nothing touches your natural lashes
The band grips the liner drawn on your eyelid, not your lashes. There is no adhesive on your own lash and nothing to pull off at the end of the night. A lot of customers come to us precisely to give their natural lashes a rest after extensions, or while recovering from lash loss.
You can skip the black liner entirely
If you want the effect without a visible line, the Crystal Clear liner holds the same lashes using a film forming polymer instead of magnets. Same lash, no liner on show. The comparison is here.
Fewer steps in your routine
No curler, no mascara, no touching up a smudged line. Liner on, lash on, done.
They are light enough to forget you are wearing them
Our six magnet lashes use magnets 50% smaller, thinner and lighter than the usual designs, and the Invisible Magnets range conceals them in the band entirely. Both are built so the band sits flush rather than pressing on the lid.
There is a style for the look you actually want
38 styles across five ranges, from barely there to full drama, including short options that work behind glasses. Compare them in The Lash Guide, or answer a few questions in the quiz.
They suit far more people than you would expect
Our customers run from a seven year old wearing them for dance competitions and for alopecia, through to women in their eighties replacing volume their own lashes have lost. Because the lash sits on the lid rather than on your natural lash, it works with little or no natural lash of your own.
They hold through the day
The lash and liner system is designed to be waterproof, windproof and smudge proof, so wind, tears and a warm room do not undo it. Wear time is 16 to 24 hours, then take them off before bed.
The cost works out very differently
A pair lasts 30 to 60 wears, more with careful cleaning, against extensions that need paying for again every few weeks. That is the real saving, and it is why people end up owning several styles rather than one.
Frequently asked questions
Are magnetic lashes better than eyelash extensions?
They solve a different problem. Extensions are applied in a salon and refilled every two to three weeks. Magnetic lashes go on at home in under a minute, come off the same night, and let you change style whenever you like. They also attach to liner on your eyelid rather than to your natural lashes, so there is nothing pulling on your own lash.
Do magnetic lashes damage your natural lashes?
No. Nothing adheres to your natural lashes, so there is nothing to pull off when you remove them. Many customers use magnetic lashes specifically to give their own lashes a break after salon extensions.
How long do magnetic lashes last?
30 to 60 wears per pair, and longer with careful cleaning after each use. Each wear is 16 to 24 hours, and they come off before bed.
Can you wear magnetic lashes without black eyeliner?
Yes. The Crystal Clear liner holds the same lashes with a film forming polymer instead of magnets, so there is no visible liner at all. It is also the easier option for beginners, because a wonky clear line does not show.
Do magnetic lashes work if you have very few natural lashes?
Yes. The band attaches to the liner on your eyelid, not to your lashes, so it does not need natural lashes underneath. This is why they suit people going through chemotherapy or living with alopecia, and there is a dedicated range for it.
