Tips & Tricks

DOs

New MAGLashes are a little stiff at first - the cotton lash band and the transparent nylon lash band need some time to adapt to the shape of your eye.
The softer the band becomes, the more beautifully it settles along your lash line.
How to speed up the process:

  • gently bend the lash band into shape
  • clip it briefly around a round object
  • wear your MAGLashes several times for longer periods

With every wear they become more flexible - this is completely normal and part of the learning process.

More details under Application & Care

Many tweezers are magnetic and can make application harder, especially for beginners.
Our recommendation:

  • use a non-magnetic tweezer
  • alternatively: grip the MiniMAGs at the very tips, as far from the magnet as possible

With practice a magnetic tweezer works too - but a non-magnetic one is simply easier to begin with.

This is the master discipline - and purely a matter of practice.
Tips that make it easier:

  • start from the inner or outer corner (try both)
  • use two tweezers if needed
  • hold the lash band in position with one finger
  • pull the lash band slightly taut
  • guide the second MiniMAG in carefully

This way your lashes sit neatly, naturally and without any visible gap.

Our technique is a suggestion - your technique is right if it works for you.
Some people find it easier to:

  • place the MiniMAG under the natural lashes first
  • then lay the main lash band on top from above

Try different sequences until you find the grip that works perfectly for you.

It happens to a lot of people.
Tried and tested tricks:

  • sweep a magnet over the floor (magnet attracts the mini-magnet)
  • pull a nylon stocking over the vacuum nozzle (suck up the MiniMAG)
  • check magnetic surfaces (box, door handles, hairspray cans, etc.)

If it doesn't turn up: you can reorder MiniMAGs at any time.

After lash extensions, natural lashes are often finer or weakened.
Our tip:

  • apply a little mascara before putting the lashes on
  • this strengthens the lashes and improves hold

Alternatively:

Once your natural lashes have recovered, you won't need mascara at all.

MAGLashes have a beautiful curl - natural lashes don't always.
Options:

  • Gel Mascara for a light curl
  • gently use a lash curler if needed

This way your natural lashes and MAGLashes blend together perfectly.

Since all MAGLashes are black (or dark brown), the transition can be visible on very light natural lashes.
Options:

  • black or dark brown mascara before application
  • permanent lash tinting
  • or skip it entirely - many people don't find it noticeable at all

If the band length isn't a perfect fit:

  • draw a finer or thicker eyeliner
  • place the MAGLashes slightly further inward
  • lightly mascara your natural lashes at the inner or outer corners

Small adjustments often make a big difference.

DON'Ts

MAGLashes require a little practice. The perfect technique develops with routine - and once you've got it, you'll enjoy maximum comfort every day.
True MAGLashes naturals are rare - most people really do need a few tries before the lashes sit perfectly.
Watch all our application videos and give yourself a little time.

This increases the chance of them sticking to a (magnetic) tweezer or slipping out of control.

Without tension and stabilisation the lashes will often sit too far from the lash line.
That said, don't pull them too tight either - too much tension reduces comfort. Find the sweet spot that works for you.

MAGLashes can be sensitive to moisture and high temperatures.
Please note:

  • always store cool & dry
  • avoid sauna, steam room & swimming
  • synthetic models are often slightly more delicate
  • real hair models can curl in heat or humidity (just like head hair)

Always remove them before going to bed.
Why?

  • the lashes can bend badly
  • MiniMAGs may come loose
  • risk of injury if you move a lot in your sleep

MAGLashes are not designed to be slept in.

MAGLashes are sensitive to water.
So please:

  • remove them before showering
  • do not wear them while swimming or diving
  • use as little water as possible even when cleaning them

We also recommend taking them off in the sauna - unless you're happy to accept a shorter lifespan :)

Never just pull them off.
How to remove them correctly:

  • gently slide the magnets apart
  • do not tug on the lash band

This protects both your MAGLashes and your natural lashes.
