Review (5/5): The magnetic eyeliner perfected--
Let’s establish this first, everyone rates things differently- this is how I do it:
5 stars: The item fully meets OR exceeds expectations
4 stars: There could be improvements, but the product is good
3 stars: The item is acceptable, but might be better elsewhere OR needs improvement
2 stars: Many OR most things are wrong with the item, but it has some redeemable feature
1 star: Stay Away! It’s a bad buy.
In those stars I try to include: How closely the product meets the description, Price, How it compares to other products I’ve tried, and Usability.
My reviews can be long, so if you want to skim, follow the topic headers. Also- I try to update my reviews, so they may change over time.
My experience:
I'm not a makeup expert-- but when magnetic eyelashes first came out, I was a customer- so I’ve watched the market change over the years. At the time of this review you’ll finally find different styles of lashes, but all of them will be a bit stiff, and thick. Not many options for soft natural looking lashes in with magnetic application.
The lashes styles:
These lashes have a decent range as magnetic lashes go with a few of the wispier, natural-ish options. So far though I haven’t seen any magnetic lashes on the market that look natural.
Liner applicator:
This isn’t THE best liner applicator I’ve tried, but it is comparable to the best. In my experience the liner is the most important part of the lash set- not just because it’s the “glue” but it’s the item that makes the most difference on ease of application and finished look. Some liners are thick no matter what you do, this one allows a thinner line. (BUT magnetic lashes don’t do well with a pin line application, meaning you must add enough for the lash to grab on to) this made a thinner line work for me., (please note I have wrinkled and hooded eyelids, so everything I do is a little bumpy/ big)
FIRST TIME USERS: these work best if you do ONE eye at a time. The lashes apply best when the liner is still a bit wet. NOT fully wet- but given a little time to START to dry. Think of the liner like glue- perfectly wet glue doesn’t hold paper together, and dry glue doesn’t stick.
I recommend testing this liner on the back of your hand before your eyes, so you don’t end up looking like a panda as you practice—and the skin on your hand isn’t as sensitive as your eyelid. As you practice, remember that the lashes are reusable BUT can break easily --so practice with the set you like LEAST and be careful as you apply and remove.)
Overall-
I recommend this set. There are MANY magnetic eylashe sets on the market, and this is one of the good ones.
I’ll update this post with eye looks as I use each lash set and change my review if I see anything that should be mentioned.
I hope this was helpful!!
