Life-changing
I bought these after watching a few glowing reviews of them on YouTube; I was looking for something new because I'm otherwise terrible at applying false lashes. I can't believe these are finally a THING! Magnetic lashes are the future of makeup.
PROS:
- the quality of the lashes themselves is amazing. Light and feathery, just as good as the more expensive single-pair brand-name lashes.
- They stay on all day without the corners lifting.
- Multiple pairs to choose from, so you can go casual or formal depending on the occasion.
- They really do just snap on and stay there, I'm so impressed.
CONS:
- use a basecoat of your preferred eyeliner FIRST, then apply the Arishine eyeliner on top. Their formula is kind of sticky, and I found that when I wore it by itself, it kept transferring to my upper eyelid throughout the day. In the attached photo, I'm wearing MAC Liquidlast 24-hour Waterproof liner with a thin line of Arishine on top. The lashes stayed just fine throughout the day without my liner transferring anymore.
- the kit includes a metal lash applicator, which the lashes get stuck to...because they're magnetic, lol. You don't really need the applicator though, the lashes are so easy to apply with just your fingers.
- If you find you need to trim them, use scissors that are just sharp enough to cut a smidge off the end magnet, otherwise the corner will lift.
- washing the liner off is tricky, but nothing a cutip and appropriate oil-based makeup remover can't solve.
All things considered, I'm in shock. These are affordable, they work, they're gorgeous, and they only take 5 minutes TOTAL to apply versus a whopping 30 minutes having to deal with a mess of glue.
