Magnetic eyelashes work by using tiny magnets to attach to your natural lashes, unlike traditional extensions that use glue.
Understanding Magnetic Eyelash Attachment
Unlike glue-based false eyelashes, magnetic lashes employ a unique method. Here’s how they work:
- Tiny Magnets: The key component is the presence of tiny magnets embedded within the eyelash strips.
- Layered Application: Typically, magnetic eyelashes come in two strips for each eye:
- One strip goes above your natural upper lash line.
- The other strip goes below your natural upper lash line.
- Magnetic Connection: The magnets in both strips attract each other, sandwiching your natural lashes between them and creating a secure hold.
- Removal: You remove them by gently peeling the two layers apart.
Key Differences from Traditional False Eyelashes
Here’s a quick comparison between magnetic and glue-based lashes:
| Feature | Magnetic Eyelashes | Traditional Eyelashes |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Magnets | Glue |
| Application | Layered, above and below lashes | Applied directly to the eyelid |
| Removal | Gentle peeling apart of the strips | Requires adhesive remover |
Potential Risks of Magnetic Eyelashes
As with any product you apply to your body, there are potential risks to consider. These include potential irritation or discomfort around the eye area.
