A Beauty Editor Tests the 11 Best Magnetic Lashes of 2024

Upon first test, freelance beauty writer Sophia Vilensky knew she'd be a Lilly Lashes girl forever. With a wide array of styles available and a pigmented, easy-to-apply felt liner that drew on thick and dark, they clicked into place easily and—after the initial shock wore off—made it feel like she was wearing nothing at all. Despite having no plans beyond a thrilling WFH day, she kept them on; they're really that comfortable.

Pros: Extremely lightweight; A multitude of styles available to suit every eye shape and personal style; Liner is easy to apply; Lashes feature a whopping 12 magnets

Cons: More expensive than other options; Liner not included with lash purchase

Reusable: Up to 50 wears

When you think magnetic lashes, you likely think Glamnetic—they have the market on lock. All of their offerings are fabulous (Vilensky especially loves the half lashes for a simpler look) and there's a wide array of choices available so you can get exactly the style you're going for. And while these are much more expensive than other options, they're absolutely worth it. You can tell the quality upon unboxing—how do they look and feel so real?!—and will be even more pleased when you put them on. It only takes 20 seconds to look like you sat through a lengthy lash lift.

Pros: Eyeliner included; Water and smudge-resistant; Can be reused up to 60 times; Lashes are lightweight and high-quality

Cons: More expensive than other options

Reusable: Yes, up to 60 times

First, I need to give kudos to these lashes, because the day I wore them was one of the windiest days in Chicago I’ve ever experienced. They had to brave blood, sweat, and tears (okay, maybe not blood), and those strips still remained loyally attached to my lids for about 10 hours. KISS's eyeliner brush is thin and the formula is really pigmented, so the application process was smooth. The lashes stuck instantly to the liner—one strip has five magnets, which meant that even after trimming it to fit my eye, it latched seamlessly. I did notice the liner got a bit crusty and flaky in some areas after a few hours, but nothing too noticeable. Plus, there was definitely no smudging (as the box promises). Overall, highly recommend.

Pros: Extremely long-lasting; Great liner; No smudging; Wind-proof; Dermatologist tested

Cons: Liner might appear a bit crusty after a few hours

Reusable: Yes

When applying the liner, I noticed that the formula was a bit...gloopy? It skipped a lot and definitely didn't go on as smoothly as I'd hoped. As it clumped, I applied more and more liner to try to save the mess, which just made the line thicker. Eventually, I had to bust out my normal eyeliner to draw over the messy parts. After I got the line down, I followed the instructions and applied two coats—allowing for drying time in between—but the lashes still didn’t stick very well. It was only after a third coat that the lashes stayed in place. Once they were on, though, the lashes were pretty good. They didn’t unstick at all until I took them off at the end of the day. So, despite the hassle, I would give this kit two thumbs up for longevity.

Pros: Super long lasting; Less than $10

Cons: Liner leaves something to be desired

Reusable: Yes

Vilensky never thought she'd be someone who'd think about wearing falsies every day, yet here she is. This natural-looking option (they're called "Lowkey" for a reason) from Lola's Lashes is a match-made in heaven for those looking for a no-fuss, long-lasting look. With a lightweight cotton lash band and just the right amount of fullness, this pick is perfect for those wanted to go subtle with their lashes. The liner is also incredibly strong—they'll stay on all day—and the kit includes an oil-based micellar water cleanser to help get it off (arguably the worst part of otherwise-great magnetic lash wearing).

Pros: Vegan and cruelty-free formula; Waterproof eyeliner; Long-wearing; Strong hold; Kind to natural lashes

Cons: None found

Reusable: Yes, up to 30 times

The first thing I noticed about these lashes was how soft they are. They're made of faux mink, giving them the fluffiest texture of the three I tried. Plus, they’re virtually weightless; I couldn’t feel them at all once I had them on. While the magnetic lashes did adhere to the liner without problems, I have a small qualm with the magnets themselves: Because of the location of the magnets on the lashes, the ends lift a bit, which is a dead giveaway that you're wearing false lashes. It was an easy fix, though. I cut the lashes into smaller wisps and applied them individually, which made them look more natural. During the wind test, I did have one lash casualty, so I wouldn't say that Eylure is 100 percent windproof. However, the beauty of magnetic liner is that even if a lash or two fall off, you don't have to wear a crooked strip of falsies all night. Because the lashes stick to magnets and not a glue that will dry up, you can reposition them as many times as you need. Overall, hats off for good eyeliner and lash quality, but you might have to do a bit more work when applying them.

Pros: Super soft and fluffy texture

Cons: Take a bit more care to apply as the ends can lift; Less sticky than other options

Reusable: Yes, up to 15 wears

While some reviewers mention that they would have preferred a magnetic band over the magnets added to the lash line here, these falsies are praised by reviewers for being beginner friendly. And we wholeheartedly agree: there was no need for accuracy, as the magnets did all the work—with no trimming or measuring required. Each lash has a whopping eight magnets, ensuring the lashes stay in place all day. Our one qualm? The magnetic liner (which also works as a traditional lash glue and black eyeliner) was a bit dry and hard to apply. But when we got it? They snapped right on.

Pros: Lashes come with eight magnets each; Eyeliner included; Vegan; Paraben-free; 3-in-1 eyeliner included

Cons: More expensive than other options; Liner is hard to apply

Reusable: Yes

Bold and thick, these lashes are great. But the liner? Perhaps even better. Vilensky tried these last in her magnetic lash testing journey, and was so pleased with how the pigmented formula swept onto her eyes—it was a look in and of itself. Once the lashes snapped on, she was met with a super bold set of eyelashes that looked a little out of place on a Tuesday afternoon with no plans ahead. But you know what? A look is a look—and sometimes you need to make plans to fit it.

Pros: Liner is pigmented and easy to apply; Fun, bold lash designs

Cons: Style might be too dramatic for some

Reusable: Yes

Applying liquid eyeliner of any kind can be a daunting task, but this one is incredibly easy thanks to its felt-tip pen. The applicator is not only is a breeze to use, but the angled tip means you can even attempt a cat-eye look to pair with your lashes. The included silk lashes are lengthening, but not high-drama, so they are perfect for everyday use. If you have a shaky hand, this kit also includes pre-soaked cotton swabs to make mistakes easy to remove.

Pros: Eyeliner and remover swabs included; Creates a natural-look; Eyeliner is waterproof; Long-lasting; Can be reused up to 30 times

Cons: Eyeliner is thick and difficult to remove

Reusable: Yes, up to 30 times

These lashes are literally foolproof. They can be applied in a matter of minutes and stay on absolutely all day. Seriously, the subtle everyday look of the lashes will make you question why you even bothered with mascara. The pretty packaging includes everything you need for a seamless application: five pairs of lashes in varying styles, waterproof liner, and a pair of tweezers for application and adjusting. At just $15, you might as well give them a try.

Pros: Eyeliner and tweezers included in set; Contains five sets of lashes for different looks; Eyeliner is waterproof; Lashes feel lightweight

Cons: Liner is difficult to remove

Reusable: Yes

Listen: These do not budge. Thanks to the affordable price and strong hold, they're our lash of choice for a night out or windy day. With that being said, they're hard to take off. You can tug and tug and get nowhere. As for the liner, it has some serious hold with its waterproof, smudge-proof, and flake-free formula. (And 25,000+ 5-star Amazon reviews don't lie.)

Pros: Long-wearing; Strong hold; Waterproof and smudge-proof eyeliner included; Contains five sets of lashes for different looks

Cons: Liner is difficult to remove

Reusable: Yes
