Say Goodbye to Lash Extensions—These Magnetic Lashes Are All You Need for Doe-Eyed Drama
As you may have already guessed, when it comes to selecting false lashes that check all of your boxes (fit, length, longevity, etc.), it's not one size fits all. Like so many others, I've struggled to find traditional lashes that are comfortable to wear all day and blend well with my curly, full lashes without needing any trims or adjustments. With that being said, when I'm applying my lashes, the last thing I want to do is second-guess how natural they look or if they'll last as long as I need them to.
I'm happy to report I've found a solution that has saved me money and provided some peace of mind: subbing out my traditional false lashes for magnetic lashes. Since incorporating them into my makeup routine, most—if not all—of my concerns around falsies have been countered with great results. The magnetic lashes ones I gravitate towards add length, volume, and intrigue to my natural lashes without completely covering them or adding unneeded weight.
To me, the mark of a grate magnetic lash is not just its ability to stay put for hours on end; but to offer comfortable wear and create a fuss-free application. Plus, when no lash glue or lash extensions are needed; you save on money and time! Below, I've identified 10 magnetic lashes for $50 and under everyone should have in their makeup kit that deliver dramatic results in seconds in a couple of steps.
The Best Magnetic Lashes
For additional length to your lashes with a subtle, "your lashes, but better" finish, I love using the Sapphire set by Lola's Lashes. They can be reused for up to 30 wears and are both vegan and cruelty-free. Be advised, however, that the magnetic eyeliner comes separately and makes a difference in the wear time of these lashes.
Pros: Features a lightweight cotton band with six mini magnets
Cons: Does not come with a magnetic eyeliner for extended wear time
Specs: N/A
Customer Review: "Never been able to use false lashes. First-time user of magnetic false lashes. It couldn't have been easier. They are amazing and look beautiful. Would highly recommend locals lashes to any beginner with false lashes."
I can always count on cutting down the time it takes for me to create a finished makeup look with the help of this effortless magnetic lash kit. It includes a natural-looking lash (featuring eight lightweight mini magnets) and a three-in-one magnetic liner that can be used as an eyeliner, traditional lash glue, and magnetic liner.
Pros: Adds natural-looking length with a subtle finish
Cons: None
Specs: 0.05 oz/ 1.5 mL Lash and Go Eyeliner
Customer Review: "They are effortless, have eight tiny magnets, i never put on lashes because I'm not good at applying and carrying them for a long time. These lashes are a breeze to put on, the liner is so easy to apply too. I loved them, they didn't budge for the whole night."
Eyelure's extremely natural-looking faux mink accent lashes and magnetic liner are my go-tos when I'm in the mood for adding length while enhancing my natural eye shape. These lashes only take five minutes to apply and are safe for daily use for up to 15 wears while the magnetic eyeliner is smudge-proof and long-lasting.
Pros: Natural-looking and gorgeously angled faux mink accent eyelashes
Cons: Reapplication may be needed for all-day wear
Specs: 0.008 oz
Customer Review: "These were easy to place although the first time it told me a little longer to apply! Love the length, design, and color. Love that you can get 15 uses from the one pair. These are perfect for any upcoming dress-up occasion I have to attend."
Looking for a starter lash bundle that has it all? Whenever I'm asked which magnetic eyelash set is ideal for beginners, the Magnetic Starter by MoxieLash immediately comes to mind. It includes three different lash sets, a liquid magnetic liner, and a magnetic lash applicator to make your lash application process quick and easy.
Pros: Includes three different sets of lashes (Honey Lash, Sugary Lash, and Yummy Lash)
Cons: Lash liner is challenging to remove without an oil-based makeup remover
Specs: N/A
Customer Review: "I really like having three options for lashes, the liner, tweezers all in one box with a mirror! Will likely keep the box and just put replacement items in as needs happen. Loving the ease of MoxieLash. 10/10"
Lily Lashes were one of my first falsies to experiment with, so I have a soft spot for this one. The Click Magnetic Value Set is a starter kit that includes the brand's best-selling lash set in Miami 3D, a full-size magnetic liquid liner, and lash adhesive for flawless application. The lashes themselves feature 12 micro-magnets that make for comfortable all-day wear.
Pros: With proper care, the lashes are reusable for up to 50 wears
Cons: The eyeliner has a dry texture that may flake slightly with wear
Specs: 2.08 oz
Customer Review: "These are serious the pretty lashes I've ever tried on! I wear them every single day and they never fail to make me look glamorous. I do my makeup twice a day and they last about two weeks until they start looking worn."
Static Nails may be best known for its line of glass-like nail lacquers, treatments, and accessories, but it also has a line of stunning lashes that can completely transform the look of your eyes in seconds. Wink Wink is my favorite set since it creates the doe-eyed look I'm obsessed with.
Pros: Blends into the lash line for instant, effortless application
Cons: Stay In Place 3-in-1 Lash Adhesive Liner is not included
Specs: N/A
Customer Review: "Static lashes are the most natural looking lashes. The wispy tips and staggered hair lengths perfectly mirror the pattern of your natural lashes."
Glamnetic's Magnetic Lashes are proof you don't have to break the bank for lash appointments when you can achieve the same flirty lash look from the comfort of your home. These are made from high-quality, faux-mink fibers that are lightweight and fluffy, allowing your natural eye shape to shine through. Make sure to snag the brand's Magnetic Eyeliner for the best results!

Cons: May take some additional trimming to achieve the right shape for your eyes
Specs: 2.9 cm band
Customer Review: "These magnetic lashes were so easy to use. I was able to apply both lashes in less than 3 minutes and wear them for over 6 hours without sliding or irritation. Lashes are super comfortable and perfect for sensitive eyelids. I got so many compliments!"
A good amount of my favorite magnetic lashes can be found on Amazon, including Wosado's magnetic Eyelashes Kit. These glue-free magnetic lashes are designed to compliment various eye shapes and offer a hassle-free application experience using exclusive R-SLM (magnetic) technology and feather-light materials.
Pros: Ideal for individuals with sensitive eyes
Cons: Do not blend naturally with all lash types
Specs: 0.001 oz
Customer Review: "This is exactly what I want! It's always a lot of trouble to use mascara when I'm going out and remove it at night. I tried these magnetic lashes once I received the package, and it surprised me how easy it is to put it on. I hold the mirror at a place where I can look at it downwards, and get the lashes close to my own eyelash, and it concealed perfectly. I've worn them multiple times and they still look as good as new; it's so worth the price."
Kiss' Magnetic Strip Lash has everything I need for a quick and easy falsie application: the EZ Load Rotating Lash Applicator and pre-curved lashes with top and bottom magnets that sandwich perfectly around your natural lashes. I've noticed that they're also comfortable to wear with my contact lenses and glasses without having to readjust after the initial application.
Pros: The lashes are pre-curved with a universal fit
Cons: May be a little heavy on the lash line on your natural lashes
Specs: N/A
Customer Review: "Their lashes are fun, all lengths. I love the magnetic lashes-when I wear the not so extravagant lashes my friends don’t even notice that they are falsies. Tip: Always carry your magnetic liner just in case! I love that the newer lashes have five magnets over the older ones that had three magnets on each lash"
Ardell Professional's budge-proof magnetic lashes are the easiest way for me to elevate my makeup routine without any additional fuss. To me, the standout feature of these magnetic lashes is their curved and contoured band that allows for a snug fit to the lid without sacrificing any comfort or time. 001 is my favorite since they add both length and volume.
Pros: Lashes are long-lasting and waterproof
Cons: A little tricky to apply for beginners, but practice makes perfect
Specs: 0.40 oz
Customer Review: "These are the best lashes I have tried. Their full lashes don't ever seem to fit right on my eyes, but the Accents are amazing! Put some mascara on, gently apply the upper lash and guide the lower last in to meet against the eyelid. And the best part is that I never worry that they will fall off!"
More False Lashes We Love
Customer Review: "I've tried many different lashes, and I always come back to these. Perfect for an everyday enhanced look. I like the thin band, it blends into my natural lashes perfectly. I've received many compliments on this specific lash."
Customer Review: "I had considered myself tragically inept when it came to applying false eyelashes. Not anymore! The band is thick but flexible, and not having to be cut, just glue and apply! I have used a pair for practice, and it is holding up well, just a gentle cleansing to remove glue and mascara. I am stocking up on these, and you can't beat the sale price!"
Customer Review: "They're really good lashes! this is my second time ever trying lashes, and let me tell you, they're amazing! This invisible band helps so much when you don't want to do eyeliner. They're extremely real looking with a great false lash effect!"
Customer Review: "The lashes are amazing! I really like them and they are very easy to put on and they retain glue on the strip very well. I love the fact they were brown with clear strips. Clear strips are good because they make it look like you have lash extensions on."
