How to Apply Magnetic Lashes: A Beginner-Friendly Guide

If you've never worn magnetic lashes before, don't worry—you're in the right place. Lash Loop Beauty's unique 4-piece magnetic lash system is designed to give you a beautiful, natural-looking lash enhancement without messy glue or complicated application.

With a little practice, you'll be able to apply your lashes in just a few minutes. Follow this simple step-by-step guide to get the most secure, comfortable, and natural-looking results.

What Comes in Your Lash Loop Beauty Set

Your Lash Loop Beauty magnetic lash set includes:

  • One full-length top magnetic lash

  • Three small magnetic anchor pieces

  • An application tweezer

  • A magnetic storage compact with mirror

You can apply the anchor pieces using the included tweezers, your fingers, or a plastic tweezer—whichever feels most comfortable for you.

Before You Begin

For the best results:

  • Start with clean, dry lashes.

  • Curl your natural lashes if desired.

  • Apply mascara first (optional). I personally do not.

  • Make sure your magnetic lashes are clean and ready to use.

Step 1: Position the Top Lash

Using your fingers or the included applicator, gently hold the full-length top lash just above your natural lashes.

The most important tip is to position and hold the top lash as close to your natural lash line as possible without touching your skin.

The closer the top lash sits to your lash line, the more natural it will look, the more secure it will feel, and the more comfortable it will be throughout the day.

Step 2: Attach the First Anchor

While holding the top lash in place, use your tweezers, fingers, or a plastic tweezer to pick up one of the small magnetic anchor pieces. Be sure to have the magnet exposed by gripping the opposite end of the anchor lash.

Bring the anchor piece upward from underneath your natural lashes until it connects with the magnets on the top lash.

You'll feel the magnets snap together gently.

Step 3: Add the Remaining Anchors

Repeat the process with the remaining anchor pieces.

I prefer starting with the middle anchor to hold the top lash in place during the application of the other anchors.

Don't rush—placing each anchor carefully will help create the most secure hold.

Step 4: Check the Fit

Once all of the anchors are attached, look in a mirror and check that the lash sits close to your lash line across your entire eye.

If you notice any gaps, simply remove by sliding that anchor away from the eye and reposition it slightly closer to your lash line. Never pull the lash off before the magnets are disconnected. Watch my tutorials about sliding for more deets on safe and fast removal.

A close fit is the secret to:

  • A secure hold

  • A seamless, natural appearance

  • All-day comfort

Beginner Tips for Success

If this is your first time wearing magnetic lashes, keep these tips in mind:

  • Take your time. Application gets much easier after a few tries.

  • Hold the top lash steady while attaching each anchor.

  • Don't worry if it isn't perfect the first time—you can easily reposition the anchors.

  • Practice on one eye at a time until you feel confident.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use the included tweezers?

No. Many customers prefer using the included tweezers, while others find it easier to use their fingers or a plastic tweezer. Use whichever method gives you the most control.

Why don't my lashes feel secure?

In most cases, the top lash isn't close enough to your natural lash line. Reposition it closer to your lash line before attaching the anchor pieces.

Why do my lashes look less natural?

Keeping the top lash close to your lash line creates the most seamless blend with your natural lashes. The closer the placement, the more natural the final look. While mastering, you can wear mascara on your natural lashes to make any gaps less noticeable.

You're Ready to Go!

Once your Lash Loop Beauty magnetic lashes are in place, you'll enjoy a lightweight, glue-free lash look that's comfortable enough for everyday wear. After a few applications, the process becomes quick and easy, making magnetic lashes a simple addition to your beauty routine.
