False eyelashes look cool, but they come at a price: your nerves. Magnetic alternatives are no longer a novelty on the market. But they are to me.
I’d love to wear false eyelashes every day – if not for the sticky struggle that is eyelash glue. In the morning, when my eyes are half closed and my hand-eyelash coordination is still a bit wonky, a lot can go wrong. Glued eyes, misplaced eyelashes... I shudder at the thought. My make-up isn’t the only thing to go down the drain then; my mood also tanks. I don’t feel like dealing with the hassle anymore.
In a nutshell
Here’s a quick summary of what I learned:
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
- The eyelashes can’t be trimmed on either end, because that’s where the magnets are located.
- Over time, the parts of the false eyelash band between the magnets curve out.
- No eyeliner, no eyelashes. An eyeliner-free look is not an option.
- The liner can only be removed with an oil-based make-up remover.

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
