Ardell Magnetic Accent 001 False Eyelashes,1 Pair of Upper and Under Lashes, Light Volume, Medium Length, Vegan Friendly, (Pack of 1)

So I have seen these magnetic lashes everywhere but with so many mixed reviews so I decide to try them out myself. I purchased the 001 accents because lots of the reviews said they were easier to apply. They were a little tricky to put on at first but with maybe a half hour of practise I got them sitting super close to my lash line. I love them because they’re long but natural looking, giving the eye that fox eye look that seems to be the trend. They’re a little delicate, a couple hairs got stuck to the adhesive on the packaging so be careful when you remove them. I’m so happy with them because now I don’t need to spend lots of money on glue lashes that like to irritate my skin! These are affordable and a much better design than other companies offering the same thing for 70 dollars! Thinking of getting the 002 accents for a bolder look and trying out some of the full eye lashes!!

Its a shame because I was really excited for these and did my research, but I'll never wear these. I have slightly downturned eyes and these didn't suit my eye shape at all... even when I cut them in half I found them so difficult to put on. I wear contact lenses and have no issue getting all up in my eye but I found it really hard to apply them near my lashline. They would keep snapping together about halfway down my eyelashes and it looked so dumb. When I did finally manage to get them to apply closer to my lashline, not only did they look bad, they also really made my eyelashes ache if thats even possible. Like the weight of them made them hurt. Have never experienced this with false eyelashes or eyeliner or mascara or anything before. They are a good idea in theory but practically just don't work.

Magnetic lashes - what an excellent idea. I bought these thinking I could ditch my mascara forever, and get the same look without the gunk and damage. Unfortunately, though, this little innovation needs revision before it can get off the ground. These can still work if you're willing to modify - but they'll never be perfect and I'll explain why below. Firstly, try cutting the lower strip into segments at each magnet point and apply them individually. The magnets on the top layer will jump down when the lower strip is near, due to the magnetic pull. This is why it's so hard to get them into position, but isolating each magnet by cutting the lower strip helps a lot. Secondly, you might have to lose one of the magnets by shortening the top strip. I find that the innermost magnet when applied looks really obvious because it sits right in the middle of the eye and the lashes stop abruptly at that point. There is a very obvious difference in lash length in the middle of your eye as a result, which just looks really weird. Thirdly, the two strips together look too dense and I ended up plucking lots of the individual hairs out with some really sharp tweezers, to make them look more natural. I like the look of the single strip on its own, but the double layer is too much for day wear, and look a bit draggy. All of the above issues can be addressed with modification; however, the one issue that I feel is the biggest flaw with these is that the actual line that the lashes sit on is straight. They have been bent to sit with the general shape of the eye, but the line that the lashes are attached to NEEDS to be curved. The main reason these do not work is because the lash sits flush at the centre of the eye, but sits about a milimetre away from the eyelid at the outer edge of the eye. If seen at an angle, they look like they are floating midway down your lashes. As the natural hairs are generally more sparse in this area, this is where it really matters. My final complaint about these lashes is that the magnets on the lower strip sit underneath the lashes, meaning they are exposed and quite visible. It would make more sense if these sat on top of the lower lash strip so that they were slightly more concealed. I also think this would allow a slightly stronger hold. Disappointingly, I still need to wear mascara to put these on. They slide off too easily on naked lashes, and need a bit of definition for your inner lashes to soften the very abrupt change in length and fullness. I love the idea and I hope the design is improved to make them more wearable. I'd love these to be an everyday thing, but the above needs work before that can happen.

These are somewhat finnicky to get on, and you have to be very careful or the magnets will easy come off. I also keep losing these and have to repurchase, but overall they look nice on and avoid you from having to use glue, so not too bad.

These lashes are a GAME-CHANGER. Please if your struggling or hesitant dont give up or be worried cause of the other reviews. Yes at first u struggled with them and was frustrated, but then I watched a few YouTube tutorials and got some tips and was able to use them with ease the next day. They are so handy and so quick and easy once you get the hang of it, you just need the right technique and a small bit of practice but as someone who spends too long doing mascara and who cant do normal false lashes to save their life, these are just a miracle for me! Not noticable straight on or if your wearing a bit of black mascara but really makes you look more put together. Not heavy looking either, just wispy. Will definitely be buying more styles :D they're also much cheaper to buy online vs places like boots where they're over €20! Here are some tips for anyone who is struggling: 1. Bend the lashes into an arch and wiggle them around like that for a while so that the band will stay curved instead of straight. Make sure that the bottom and top are attached when you do this so each lash has the same curvature. This will help get them as close to the lash line as possible. 2. Curl your eyelashes and/or apply some clear mascara or alternatively a light coat for regular mascara, dont go overboard or it will look weird and wont blend with the false lashes. This will help the top lash sit in place when you are trying to apply the bottom one. 3. Place the to lash as close to your lash line as possible, quickly get the bottom lash trying not to move your eye too much. Tilt your head up, line the magnets up but dont bring it too close to your eye until you're ready to connect them, then focusing on one corner (outer or inner) stick it as close to your waterline as possible, almost simultaneously connecting the others with a pushing in motion. (It's most important to focus on the ends when you're doing this, as the middle magnets generally will follow.) 4. You have to do step 3 very fast or you'll end up with a a big gap like they are hovering or else one corner will be in well and the other hanging off your natural lashes. So just slot them in very fast and push them in towards your lash line as you do so. If it's a small bit gappy you can always adjust the bottom set by looking up and pulling the magnets closer in. Hope this helps for anyone having trouble or unsure if to purchase x Good luck!

The tool doesn't work very well so the lashes do not attach properly and when you try to attach them to the lash they still stick partly to the tool making them go wonky. These lashes are very difficult to use, I would reccomend getting the ones with metallic eye liner.

I was really disappointed with these eyelashes. I don’t do make up so thought magnetic was the way to go. They applied relatively easily after a couple of practices, and looked great, however they actually blinked off. :( or if you happened to touch your eye they knocked out of place. Also they came with an applicator, which either it didn’t say or I missed so I bought an applicator too. So yeah. Waste of money for me.

These are simple to apply and brilliant quality. They fit better than standard length lashes so not cutting required, the magnets are strong and the lashes won’t budge even in extreme winds
