If you are choosing between magnetic lashes, glue-on strip lashes and lash extensions, here is a plain comparison.
Glue-on lashes
- You apply lash glue every time you wear them.
- The glue needs a moment to set, and the band can be fiddly to place.
- They often cost less per pair up front.
Magnetic lashes
- No lash glue: magnets hold the top lash and the anchor pieces together around your own lashes.
- They take a little practice. Application gets easier after a few tries.
- You remove them by sliding the magnets apart, never by pulling.
- Lash Loop Beauty lashes can be worn 30+ times with gentle care.
Lash extensions
- A technician applies them at a salon, in a longer appointment.
- They typically cost more over time, since they need regular upkeep to keep looking full.
- Magnetic lashes are something you do yourself, whenever you want them.
Which one is right for you?
If you do not like working with glue, or you want lashes you can put on and take off at home, magnetic lashes are worth a try. If you are happy with glue and want the lowest price per pair, glue-on lashes may suit you better. Our founder wore lash extensions for years before creating the Lash Loop technique, because she wanted a do-it-yourself option with less time and money. Read her story.
