Magnetic Eyelashes: Eye-Opening or Eye-Watering?

25 July, 2017 - 10:21pm by - Head Pixie | 26 Comments

By BR Kellie

There's nothing quite like the look of false eyeslashes. They open up your eyes, make them appear bigger, add glamour... but they can be a right pain in the you know where to put on! Sure, Tabby makes it sound easy peasy lemon squeasy in her eyelash application article, but some of us are just too cack-handed to get it right so give up trying. Until now.

A US-based company, One Two Cosmetics, has created magnetic false eyelashes. I know. They sound a little scary, because, well - magnets near your eyes? Well, first thing I did on seeing these fluttery pretties was check out their FAQ to see if they're safe to wear. According to their FAQ, One Two Cosmetics' lashes underwent independent testing through Princeton Consumer Research on the prolonged wear of magnetic lash use and not one of the subjects had an issue with them. So that's good! 

So how do One Two lashes work? Basically you take one false lash, line it up above your natural lashes, then once you're satisfied with the fit, you take the second lash and apply it under your natural lash line and the two click together to create fab falsies. Boom. Just like that.

Magnets though? Really? Are they clunky? Do they weigh down the eye? Not these! One Two Cosmetics micro-lashes use micro-magnets - two little red dots - on either lash that sandwich your natural lashes together to create a realistic but glamorous look. 

Can you tell I'm excited? I'm excited. So excited I'm returning to copywriter form and sounding like an ad. (This isn't an ad.)

The best bit? Unlike what feels like most online-based cosmetic companies they DO ship internationally - even to New Zealand. YUSS!! Bring on pay day!

So are you a fan of the falsies? Do you struggle, like me, to apply the usual kind? Are these totally tempting you right now? Chat away!

I saw these online the other day and I was intrigued. Interested to see how others find them for wearability

I love falsies I just wish they made a glue that holds them in place and comes off easily when you pull them off. I have sensitive eyes/eye area so any amount of tugging can cause me to get a puffed up eye.

I'm not tempted by these new magnet lashes. I watched a couple of youtube reviews and not many were that successful in getting them on straight let alone to look natural.

They only look good on me when a professional applies them otherwise I'm not so keen. These look interesting and might be worth a go.

I also saw these on a facebook ad and thought how wonderful and easy they look, beats using mascara if magnetic lashes work.I rarely use false eyelashes,only if I am going to a fancy dress party but I am very intrigued about these so I did a little research and found you can buy them from Allie Express also for next to nothing,not sure how good the quality would be though.I think I will check this US company out just to compare:)

Ummmm interesting although still a bit dubious, the magnets next to my eyes still sound a bit worrying even though they say they are safe. Besides I have no idea how to apply false lashes let along ones with magnets ha ha ha.

Glue on false lashes just look weird on me. I prefer lash extensions. I really want to try these and also the new stamp on eyebrows, omg I am bald in all the wrong places lol

Brilliant!! I've never tried falsh lashes mainly due to the fact that I'm VERY cack-handed and would probably glue my eyes shut haha. I would give these a go though for sure :)

27th July, 2017

I've never been brave enough to try them, so this sounds awesome!

27th July, 2017

The only worry I would have is the slippage - other than that, quite an exciting design! Takes the fear of glue in your eye away.

27th July, 2017

I wonder if they'd sag?

26th July, 2017

Hmmmm not for me but interested to see them in real life

26th July, 2017

Hmmm I'm more tempted by falsies if they don't need glue...

26th July, 2017

I want to try there! I saw this on Facebook sometime ago but didn't know about where to get them. I'm terrible at putting on false eyelashes so this will be much easier for me

I can apply false lashes to my own eyes fine, but the thought of these magnetic lashes give me the shivers! With false lashes, your natural lashes act as a buffer and stop you from accidentally sticking them in your eye. I have shaky hands and have to use both hands to line up the corners and apply falsies to my eyes. I think applying the magnetic lashes would be really tricky, as I'd have to hold the top strip with one hand and the bottom strip with the other. There'd be no guarantee that they were lined up straight and there's nothing preventing the bottom lash from touching my eyeball in the process. No thank you, but as intruiged as I am, I think I'll have to pass on buying a set of these!

I'm not great at applying falsies. Will keep an eye on how these ones go.

I also want to try the stamp on eye brows too after seeing them on facebook,that site choicest 1 .com does not have great feed back though after I looked them up.
