Are Magnetic Lashes Worth It? We Tried Them and Here's What We Thought

These aren't your mama's fake lashes.

Why I Decided to Try Magnetic Lashes I've never been able to master false lashes, no matter how many times I've tried. The strips are always too big, the lashes never seem to actually stick and the removal process is a total nightmare (seriously, I've rubbed my skin raw trying to get off false lashes — that had been applied by a makeup artist). Since I've had virtually no luck applying falsies on my own, I had basically given up on them and relied solely on mascara to pump up my lash game. While I know my way around a mascara wand pretty damn well, there are only so many coats you can apply before your lashes start looking clumpy. Hence the need for falsies.

After hearing a fellow beauty editor rave about how easy it was to apply magnetic lashes, I knew I had to take a pair for a whirl. I contacted One Two Lashes and they very generously sent me two packages of lashes (a full lash set and a half lash set, which can be used as an accent at the outer corner of your eyes) along with links to a whole bunch of how-to videos (trust me, they're worth watching if you want to try this product out). To be honest, I was a little intimidated but I still figured that this would be easier than the regular ol' falsies.
