How does Magnetic Eyeliner work? (2025)

Liquideyeliners have beenan essentialpart of the beauty industry since the 1960’s.The colour you use, the way you apply it, and your signature style all say something about you.But what ifan eyeliner could be more? What ifthere was an eyelinerthat let you make a statementandallowedyou toapply false lashes?Well, there is… and through innovation over recent years, magneticformulationshave become the hottest new trend.

What makes magnetic eyeliner differentfrom regular eyeliner?

Like regular liquid liner, magnetic liners are usually black, so the pigment adds more definition along the lash line.

Magneticliners,however, aremultitaskers–the linercanbe used alone (like a regular liquid liner), orto applymagnetic falsies!

Magnetic eyelineralsomakeslash application easier:

1. Fewer stepsare needed– just apply eyeliner, let it dry, and apply the lash (it will snap right on)!
2. It’s less messy - no glue or adhesiveisneeded, so you won’t strugglewith getting your lash to stick.

How do you know which magnetic eyeliner to choose?

There are plenty of magnetic eyeliners out there, so choosing just one can be overwhelming. From our experience,performance,value, andstrengthare all important factors when choosing a magnetic eyeliner.

1. Performance: How easily does the liner glide across the eyelid? How black is it? What is the pigment like? Would you wear it as a standalone eyeliner?

2. Value: Is it a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1?

3. Strength: Does it provide strong-hold for the magnetic lash band? How does it hold up against a tug test? Does it provide long-lasting wear?

Our favourite is (obviously) theVelour BeautyLash & Go Eyeliner. It’s a 3-in-1 product that triples as an eyeliner, traditional lash glue and magnetic liner, so not only can you use it as mentioned above, but it is also compatible with regular false lashes!

The new and improved formula of Velour’s Lash & Go liner has the exact same performance as the original 2-in-1 version but is now magnetized with more pigment and smooth-glide on application. Plus, it’s ultra-black, non-irritating, 100% vegan and cruelty free. This seems to be the most innovative magnetic eyeliner on the market, as you can use it on its own, with regular false lashes AND magnetic lashes. It doesn’t get better than that!

How do you apply magnetic lashes tomagneticeyeliner?

Applying magnetic lashes onto magnetic eyeliner is easier thanyoumight think. Since the liner is magnetized, the magnetic lash will *snap* right into place!Amagnetic lashhasa series of magnets along the lash band, thatmold to theshape of yourlash line. When you apply the magnetic lash, make sure it’s sitting flush against the eyelid just above the lash line.

Is magnetic eyeliner safefor eyes?

Yes. When selecting a magnetic eyeliner, we’d recommend considering a non-irritating formulation. When choosing magnetic lashes, we’d also suggest looking for a lash band that has rounded magnets, are lightweight and are made on a comfortable lash band.

When using magnetic lashes and liner youalsodon't run the risk of pulling out natural lashes on removal because the band doesn't come intocontact with your natural lashes, only the magnetic liner. 

Is magnetic eyeliner the way of the future?

Liquideyeliner will always be a staplewithin the beauty industry.Withmore innovative products being developed every year, something like magnetic eyeliner is sure to stick around for a long time– especially if itperforms well as a standalone. Magnetic lashes are becoming more and more prominent in the lash space, driven byinnovation,social media,andconsumer demand for an easierway to apply lashes.

We think magnetic eyeliner is a greatoption for those looking foreasierapplication, more value, andfor something unique!
