Magnetic Lash Accent 001

I love these for a quick application when I’m in a rush. There is a learning curve, it took me some time to figure out how to apply them but once I learned how, I put them on in literally seconds. You do have to be careful with them they’re delicate. But if you take care of them and store them properly as soon as you take them off they can last for at least a month maybe longer. I don’t even feel them on my eyes I often forget I’m wearing them. Be aware these are called an accent lash because it’s not a full lash, it’s just the outer lashes which I like because it looks more natural to me. You can’t go swimming with these they will come right off. Not a good option if you plan on being in any kind of water. If you rub your eye they will come off or become crooked. But overall they’re great for just going out or running errands. I have worked out with them on and didn’t have any problems even when doing the stair master.

So I have been working with these lashes for almost 2 weeks. On myself and on my daughter. First off it is an accent so it only does half of your Eye. the problem I have is it doesn't taper off at all, so it basically just looks rather stupid by just stopping cold turkey.Also, I did pinch it a bit to make it curve more. To follow the curve of my Eye. a lot of reviewers also commented on this fact. you cannot just set it on your Eye and it naturally curve with the Eye. it is too straight and will stick straight out. so I curved it to make it curve and flow along with my eyeline. even doing this still did not prove results enough to keep the product. while installing one corner or the other pulls up. I attempted to do this on my daughter as well. As sometimes it's easier to work on someone else other than yourself. the results were the same. looking from a distance, it looks great! Looking close up as if you're going to have a normal conversation, and you can clearly see they are not attached properly. they're not going to fall off at all, but there is a noticeable gap In either corner at any one point. Lastly, these are not returnable. they are shipped from Amazon but I guess because they are going on a body part That is why you are not allowed to return. So for that reason, these are non returnable and in my opion not worth the 2 weeks I spent trying to be patient and work with them.

It is very hard to find this type of magnetic lashes. Thank you Ardell for making these at a reasonable price. Yes, it takes practice to learn how to apply them, but once you do it's a matter of seconds and they are on all day. I curl my natural lashes first, place the top piece on my top lid (my curled lashes hold it in place), then grab the bottom piece and, holding the top in place with my index finger, align the two pieces and let them 'snap' into place.

I think I had really high hopes for this product. I’m not the best with liquid eyeliner. So, seeing a product that didn’t need it was exciting. First off, packaging needs a redo. The glue that was on the tray...ended up cuing the lashes together that touched it. Secondly, this isn’t easy to apply. I have very soft and straight lashes. After about 20 attempts with zero success, I figured maybe if I applied mascara, it would help. It did. But, this applicator needs a weaker magnet strip. The tool itself isn’t comfortable to use so finding your comfort with it is key. Practice any chance you get because this definitely isn’t for a beginner lasher. I gave up on the tool and reverted back to liquid eyeliner. It helps the top lash stay in place and I just position the bottom lash in place - MUCH better results and soooop much easier. Unfortunately the no liquid liner isn’t something in my future with these.

Alright, I know you all are dying to know, "How do I get these dang things on without them latched halfway down my eyelash?" Here is how:Lay the upper lash on your eyelash in the location that you want it to end up (close to the edge or towards the middle). it needs to be mostly against the lid, but doesn't have to be perfect. You may notice that it sits almost straight across your eyelash instead of curving to your lid. That is okay.Pick up the bottom falsie with BOTH hands. Pinch the eyelash part of the falsie that goes on the outside of the eye; Pinch close to the magnet on the part that goes on the inside of the eye.Next, get nice and close to the mirror. Tilt your head slightly upwards so that you can get under your real eyelash. Latch the outside portion, while continuing to pinch the inner portion of the lower false eyelash. It is important to get the outside lash as close to the start of your eyelash as you can otherwise you can see the magnets from the side.Once the outer side is latched, push the inner side as close to your eyelid skin as you can and release. It should grab on to the magnet and will be placed against the lid. I have yet to get it exactly against my skin, but close enough that in a dark room for dinner or at the bar, noone should notice.This took me 50 minutes of practice time, but now I think I have it down. I would only be confident wearing this with full makeup to help hide some of the lash flaws. For example, sometimes it doesn't want to sit close to the skin, and sometimes the lashes look almost as if they have created a line on my eyelash.Photos are one side on and the other side with no falsies. Other photos is how they look from the top.

I have no complaints about the lashes themselves. They don't look super natural, but I don't mind because they are cheap. My complaint though is that the lashes dried out my eyes. I'm not really sure why--maybe because the magnets keep me from being able to completely close my eyes or something--but I can't wear these all day or else my contacts dry out and my eyes are irritated. I really wanted to love these, because I don't like adhesive lashes and the liner magnetic lashes have to be applied with really thick liner, and I was hoping to be able to wear these when I wanted to wear more natural looking makeup. I'll stick to magnetic liner lashes.
