Using the wand, I raked the mascara through my lashes, making sure I started right at my lash line. I like to apply one coat of mascara to each eye, let it set a little bit, and then go in with a second layer.

And I haven't even mentioned the other innovative thing about this mascara: the "wiper." Do you ever pull a mascara brush from its tube and think, "Holy shit, that's way too much," so you've got to wipe half of it off? For They're Real! Magnet Mascara, Benefit made the opening of its tube slightly smaller than necessary so that it scrapes away all the excess product from the brush as it's being pulled out. If you have larger eyes, consider yourself blessed—you’re spared from the annoyance of cutting and shaping faux lashes. These lashes from MoxieLash are on the larger side, so if you have long eyes, these are a great option to consider. Larger strips have the potential to be more irritating since they cover more area, but that’s not the case with these lashes. We liked how comfortable they felt once they adhered to the magnetic liner; we couldn’t feel the magnets at all, even when we blinked or moved our eyes around. Though they have a cat-eye shape, they don’t look too fake and provide a touch of glam perfect for a party or special event. Just keep in mind that once they attach to the liner, they’re super strong. If you need to readjust, you may have to use a little extra effort. The material of magnetic lashes is an important factor to consider as it will determine how natural the falsies look as well as how durable they are. Most magnetic lashes are made out of synthetic fibers, silk, or faux mink. Silk and faux mink tend to look the most realistic, so they are a great option if you are seeking a natural look. You should also be on the lookout for lashes that are waterproof or offer resistance against wind and other elements for better hold. As mentioned previously, the formula acts in tandem with the magnetic core in the brush to pull lashes up and out. For Helfrich and her team, creating the magnetic technology was the hardest part of development. "Through many rounds of testing, we discovered that placing the magnet at the very center core of the brush was the secret to pulling lashes up & out during application," she says. "Next, we had to determine the right weight and strength for it to pair perfectly with the magnetic formula. A magnet too strong would pull too much formula onto the brush and get messy; a magnet too weak wouldn’t attract enough formula to create extreme length. Eventually, we found the perfect balance."READ NEXT: The best nail polish you can buy The best magnetic lashes you can buy in 2023 1.

The nifty magnetic mineral-enriched formula is what steals the show in this mascara. The innovative ingredient works with the magnetically charged brush core to lengthen lashes by 40% for 36 hours. When I think about mascara, Benefit Cosmetics is one of the first brands to come to mind. As the #1 mascara brand in the U.S, it's safe to say they know how to create lash lengthening, curling, and volumizing products that people love. Anchoring their lash offerings is the They're Real! Mascara family. You're likely familiar with They're Real! Lengthening Mascara, which has garnered praise from makeup artists and Byrdie editors alike. But today, meet the newest mascara launch from Benefit Cosmetics: the They're Real! Magnet Mascara.

About the brand: Benefit Cosmetics is known for its best-selling mascaras, primers, bronzers, and eyebrow products. About My Lashes: Average length but disappear on camera Tip: Swirl your brush instead of pumping it; this will limit the amount of air in the tube and improve the longevity of your product.

yes! As you can see my from my picture, it gave me length and body. I’m wondering where all of those lashes hiding? Those who prefer a more dramatic lash look should try these, although it can take a little time to get the right amount of eyeliner on. While the brush's magnetic center is a standout feature (they're actually working to patent the technology in the EU and the U.S.), there are a few other design characteristics worth pointing out. The mascara's custom-engineered brush also boasts soft zig-zag bristles that allow it to comfortably glide through your lashes and lift them. The development team also spent time innovating the mascara's wiper. Customized to the brush, you're guaranteed to get the right amount of product on the brush every time you pull it out of the tube, without having to worry about mess, excess, or clumps. But, how do they work? Thanks to tiny magnets embedded in each strip, magnetic eyelashes adhere to your lids (with the help of a magnetic eyeliner), leaving them looking fuller, longer, and more dramatic. If used properly, magnetic lashes won’t cause damage to your natural lashes at all. Wiggle the brush from the root of your lashes to the tips. Allow for a few seconds of drying time, and apply another coat if desired.

For some, a full strip can look too heavy, and smaller and/or round eyes will benefit from either individual lashes or some fluttery half lashes in the outer corners to widen and elongate. These ultra-lightweight natural fibre lashes do just that, delivering that extra bit of oomph to the outer corners. Made from Korean silk, these falsies are the next best thing to your natural lashes. In fact, our tester even dubbed these some of the softest and most comfortable lashes she had ever worn. That said, she didn’t think they complemented her eye shape well and suggests only purchasing these if you have larger, nonhooded eyes because they look very heavy on smaller eyes. Unlike traditional falsies, magnetic lashes do not require glue for application. Instead, you line your lid with a magnetic liner, which has a similar look and feel to liquid eyeliner and attracts the magnets that line the band of each lash. They'll always ensure a secure hold of your falsies, and sometimes, they'll provide a high-pigmented eyeliner look, too. As you’ll see from our roundup below, you don’t need to spend a fortune to get an excellent pair of magnetic falsies – particularly if you only plan on whipping them out for special occasions. The force of the magnet is subtle, so you can't feel it working — but you can see the results immediately. I usually spend loads of time trying to get my brush into every little nook and cranny of my eye, but the magnetic pull of this formula against the brush does all of that for me. So not only do my lashes look longer and fuller than normal, I can get them that way in a fraction of the time.Try to avoid putting your mascara on prior to applying the lashes. I found that magnetic eyeliner can often clump up and smudge my mascara if I were to apply it before the false magnetic eyelashes. Little tip: aim for waterproof mascara to avoid it moving throughout the day. Applying these lashes comes with a small learning curve: The liner is smaller than most and hard to hold when applying. However, once the liner is conquered, applying the falsies is simple. In fact, our tester dubbed it “a breeze.” Made from high-quality, synthetic fibers, these magnetic lashes look just like a fresh set of lash extensions. With 12 magnets included on the strip, you also don’t have to worry about the band slipping and sliding out of place. A bit of patience is required during application since you’ll need to apply three coats of liner (allowing each coat to dry in between) to get them to stay put – but, that done, stay put they certainly do. Great for anyone who has larger eyes, these lashes make an impact but still feel undetectable and look natural. We have BIG beauty news; Benefit, the UK’s number 1 premium mascara brand has a new launch! The best-selling they’re Real! range, known for its ‘lashes beyond belief’ formulas, is welcoming a new product to its line-up, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before! Drumroll please (and a sharp intake of breath) for the Benefit They’re Real Magnet Extreme Lengthening & Powerful Lifting Mascara.

Magnetic lashes can typically be applied one of two ways; with a magnetic eyeliner or by sandwiching your real lashes in between two strips of magnetic lashes. Both methods use magnetization to adhere the lashes and are way less messy than using typical lash glue, not to mention more gentle on the eyelid. The eyeliner method is definitely easier to master, but if you don’t like the look of eyeliner you may want to try the second method. It really comes down to personal preference and how much patience you have. When it comes to mascara, I look for something lengthening, curling and that doesn’t smudge throughout the day.

The length it gave my lashes, it was like magic! Where did they come from? I genuinely believe the effect this mascara gives is like an LVL lash lift! Sure, a good pair of false lashes can transform your entire face. But if you're not a pro with lash glue, things can go downhill pretty fast. You could pile on coats of mascara or you can simply switch to magnetic lashes to get that same lift and fluff — without the mess, of course.
