If you’ve just bought your first pair of magnetic lashes, you might be wondering: How exactly do I use them? Should I wear mascara first? And when the night’s over, what’s the safest way to take them off? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.

Should You Put Mascara on Before Magnetic Lashes?

Here’s the golden rule: yes, but in moderation.

Apply a light coat of mascara to your natural lashes first. This helps create a base for the magnetic lashes to sit on and blend more seamlessly.

Avoid using mascara on the magnetic lashes themselves. Adding product directly to the lash fibers can shorten their lifespan and make them harder to clean.

Think of mascara as your “primer,” helping your real lashes and magnetic lashes merge into one natural look.

How to Apply Magnetic Lashes

Prep your lash line. If you’re using magnetic eyeliner, apply a thin, even layer along your lash line and let it dry for a minute.

Place the lashes. Align the magnetic strip with your lash line and let the magnets click into place.

Adjust as needed. Use tweezers or your fingers to gently shift the lashes until they sit comfortably.

Pro tip: Start with natural styles (like Lashview’s Soft Magnetic Collection) before moving on to more dramatic looks. They’re easier to apply and perfect for daily wear.

How to Remove Magnetic Lashes

Taking them off is just as important as putting them on:

No tugging! Hold the outer corner of the lash and gently slide it away from the lash line. The magnets should release easily.

Clean the magnets. Use a cotton swab with a little micellar water to wipe away any eyeliner residue.

Store properly. Place them back in their case to keep their shape and extend their life.

With this method, you protect both your magnetic lashes and your natural lashes.

Why Lashview Makes It Easier

Not all lashes are beginner-friendly. Some brands use stiff bands or heavy magnets that make application tricky. Lashview designed its magnetic lashes with:

Flexible, ultra-thin bands that sit comfortably

Feather-light magnets that align quickly without slipping

Reusable quality that lasts up to 30 wears when cared for properly

That’s why both beginners and lash pros love Lashview—it takes the guesswork out of magnetic lashes.

Final Thoughts

Applying and removing magnetic lashes doesn’t have to be intimidating. With a little practice—and the right pair—you’ll master the routine in no time.
