Magnetic Eyeliner Application Guide

1. Shake eyeliner well before use - This will ensure good disbursement of the iron oxides (the magic ingredient that makes the eyeliner magnetic).

2. Ideally, start with clean eyes.​If you use a rich eye cream or oil based skincare products, whether makeup remover, wash or other, make sure you wash your face well to remove any of those remaining oils prior to eyeliner application as any oils may create a barrier on the skin that can interfere with the eyeliner getting a good 'stick' on your eyelids.

3. Eyelid Prep. After cleansing your lids, it's primetime! While this step is optional, taking a moment to prime will go a long way in making sure your lashes stay put. Apply an eyelid primer or base powder eye shadow to keep oils at bay and help with adhesion. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Some cream shadows that are smudge, water or oil proof may create a barrier that doesn't allow for a good hold on your skin. If you do use something like that and find that your eyeliner lifts at all, simply line your lash line/just above with a translucent powder to allow for the eyeliner to grab on. 

4. Apply Makeup as Usual. If you'll be using any eye makeup, apply before your eyeliner & lashes. If you want to do a cat eye with your regular eyeliner and keep your magnetic eyeliner just for lash application, simply apply your regular eyeliner and top it off with magnetic eyeliner along your lash line afterward.

4. Apply 1-2 coats along your upper lid, tucked into your lash line. The closer your magnetic eyeliner gets to your own lashes, the closer your false lashes will sit and ultimately look as seamless and natural as possible.

*TIP* Think of your eye like an "L" where the top bar is the eyelid and the bottom bar are your natural lashes, that corner is the sweet spot.

If you're new to magnetic eyelashes or if you're having a bit of trouble in the beginning getting those magnets to clip into place, go for a second layer once the first has dried.

Ensure adequate coverage to the inner and outer corners. If you have lifting, this is generally where it's going to happen, so just making sure you go along the inner and outer corners thoroughly on application.

Allow eyeliner to dry before application. Once you’ve got your eyeliner applied, wait at least one minute for it to dry.

This seals the bond between your eyelid and your eyeliner. Grab yourself a coffee, reenact a scene from your favorite movie, whatever you wish - and then move on to the next step.

*If you need more help with applying liquid eyeliner, see the next collapsible tab, "Additional Liquid Eyeliner Tips From The Pro's" - if you're ready to apply your lashes, open up the lash application tab*

WARNING: Never use magnetic eyeliner or lashes
during MRI. Use of magnetic eyeliner or lashes may affect proper function of
hearing aids, pacemakers or defibrillators. If any of these apply to you, we do
not recommend using this product.

Although the magnetic liner and lashes are both a time saver and mess solution, we know that liquid eyeliner can be intimidating, so we’ve compiled a few tips from the experts to help you out:

Makeup 101 - Primer, translucent power or matte eyeshadow are all great to use as a base (however they are not required with QMBeautiMag). Use a finishing powder or your favorite powder eyeshadow palate prior to application as oils on your skin may interfere with the eyeliners ability to stay planted on your lid. For an even more impermeable hold, start with a good eyeshadow primer, followed by the powder of choice. 

Guide Lines. When learning to use liquid eyeliner, it can be easier to draw when you have a 'guide line' to follow. Using an angled brush and dark powder eyeshadow, draw a line along your lash line to give yourself a base line on where you will apply your liquid eyeliner, following your lash line from inner to outer corners. A powder line is more forgiving and also helps to deepen the lash line to create an even more cohesive lash look.

Look down at a swivel mirror or tilt your chin up while looking into the mirror and apply your eyeliner. If you are not familiar or comfortable with liquid eyeliner, try applying the liner in the mirror with your chin tilted towards the sky, looking down at the mirror. This eliminates any creases or fine lines on the eyelid and makes it much easier to get a nice straight line.

If you have a standing swivel mirror, use it tilted up towards you while you look down at it to achieve the same affect. This makes the liner even easier as you use the counter surface to steady your arm and hand.

Anchor your hand. Using your pinky as an 'anchor' will help you get a nice clean line. This is where you steady your hand by sticking your pinky finger straight out and leaning it against your cheek while you apply your eyeliner.

Take your time and try to keep it thin. Liquid eyeliner is a practiced art, take your time when applying and focus on getting it nice and close to your lash line. A thin line that follows your lash line will keep from overpowering your eyes or unintentionally altering the shape (unless you're going for that).

Stamp your eyeliner along your lash line rather than gliding it along.

Tuck eyeliner close to your lash line - taking care not to get it in your eyes. This helps to marry the false strip lashes to your own.

If you have hooded eyes - hold this position for a minute while the liner dries to avoid transferring to the lid when you tilt your head back down or look up. Try to get your line thin as this helps ‘open up’ the eyes (see next point about required thickness). If you find the eyeliner is tacky after you have applied your lashes, using a little bit of translucent powder, gently tap along your lash base and eyelid to remove the tack.

Apply a thin line, but ensure it's wide enough for the magnets to grab hold. It sounds more confusing than it really is. You want it thin, as to not overpower your entire eyelid - but wide enough that the lash band magnets are able to connect. Draw your line, start with that, and once the liner is dry, try on the lashes, if they aren’t sticking the way you’d like (and you troubleshooted already), you may need to go a bit wider, either on the inner corner, outer corner, or the entire line.

1. Remove lashes from tray by the band (never by the lashes).

2. Flex Lash Bands - Flex your lash band well (with clean hands). Flexing new bands back and forth in a u-shape between the magnets will help get a nice contour when applying the lashes.

This step will seriously set you up for an ultra comfortable lash fit!

Our bands are made of cotton to ensure a lightweight and comfortable fit; however, they may still come a bit stiff after production, so flexing them back and forth in a U-shape between the magnets will help to get a nice contour when applying the lashes.

Click here to watch a short video with a close-up on flexing your lash band.

3. Trim it if needed. If your lash fits just right, it should start from the inner corner, where the bulk of your lashes begin and end 2-3 lashes in from the outer corners. If you do need to trim them, simply use clippers and snip from the outer corner, one magnet in, butted against the next magnet, try that fit and trim again if necessary

4. Using your precision lash application tweezers, remove your lash band from its tray
We always recommend using our precision lash tweezers to bring your lashes in.

Two reasons for this:
1. Using your fingers on the lashes can flatten the curl and transfer oils. 
2. You'll be able to see where you're planting your lash band (or lash segment) before it lands and get it nice and close to your lash line. 
Our precision tweezers were specifically designed to be ergonomic. The curved end is designed for precise lash application, whether you're a beginner or a pro - they'll help you. 

Grab the lash about half way down so the tweezers don't magnetize to the band when you're applying. Here's a couple quick videos to show you what we're talking about:

Watch one here.

Watch another one here.

5. Bring your lashes to the liner and apply your lashes while looking down.
(it sounds more confusing than it is). You can do this in a few ways:

  • Use a swivel mirror pointed up at you
  • Use a mirror laying flat on the counter with your elbows on either side
  • Apply in a wall mirror, with your chin tilted upwards

(This is a game changer. It will ensure your lashes get tucked into your lash line)

*TIP* When bringing your false lashes in, tilting the lashes upwards, you're almost going to wiggle them down - You want the lashes to marry with your own, which means you'll be hugging them against your lashes, if you have curled your lashes (or are blessed with naturally curly ones) you might find they get in the way, so with that cute little band nearing your liner, wiggle them a bit to get them tucked into your lash line. Do we have a quick video to show you the 'wiggle'? Of course we do! Check out two super short ones here and  here...

6. Adjustments. When applying your lashes, if you need to move them around, gently pull downwards and reapply.

7. Set and forget. Once you've found the perfect placement and you’re satisfied with how they look and feel – gently push the lashes into place and allow them to 'set'. Once the lashes set into place, you'll be good all day long!

If you want to swap out your lashes during the day (think daytime lash vs evening lash) - removing the lashes may take off a small amount of eyeliner, so a quick reapplication on those areas may be required.

When removing the lashes, gently pull from the outer corner and place back into case, along magnetic holding strip.

ADDITIONAL HELP FOR BEGINNERS

If you're able to position them like a pro right out of the gate, feel free to skip over this part - but since we're here to support everyone from beginner to pro, if you need more tips on applying false lashes, read on..

1. The closer the magnet gets to your lash line, the more natural the lashes will look. This may take a couple of tries but once you get the hang of it, you’re all set!

2. Positioning matters (if you're looking for that seamless finish...)
When you grab your lash with your tweezers, hold them tight, about half way down the lash when bringing them in so that they aren't flopping around. This will make your life much easier (watch the videos linked just above if you want to see what that looks like).

3. Apply your lashes while looking downward.

This really does help get your lashes close to your lash line. Plus, if you have hooded eyes - this is a game changer.

4. Face your lashes upward, this will help them to curl up, rather than out.

Common question - do I bring them in from the inside or outside?
You can apply inside-out, outside-in, or straight in and then make minor adjustments to the inside/outside corners.


Some people do really well with one method while others do better with a different one - so feel free to try different things to see what feels easiest for you.
Here's what we have found to be most effective:

  • looking into the mirror, bring your lashes in, close to your eye, but not touching your eyeliner.
  • line it up, then bring it in and allow it to connect in the center
  • let go (your lash won't be fully connected yet and that's ok, it won't go anywhere)
  • then grab the inner corner and attach
  • then the outer corner and attach. 

If any of that felt overwhelming - watch this short video, it'll bring it all together for you!

We highly recommend using our precision lash tweezers with magnetic lash segments to help with application.

1. Using your lash tweezers, remove a lash segment from their tray starting with the outer corner.

2. Holding your segment close to the end of the lash (this will stop your tweezer from magnetizing to your lash), with lashes facing upwards, bring lashes to magnetic eyeliner and allow the lash to ‘pop’ into place. Gently push lash into liner to ensure a good bond.

The closer the lash segment gets to your lash line, the more natural the lashes will look.

3. Alternate eyes to build your look. Apply the outer lash segment to your opposite eye. As you craft your look, alternate segment application between eyes.

4. Repeat with each lash segment until you have all sections applied (or however many you want!).

This may take a couple of tries but once you get the hang of it, you’re all set!

When removing the lashes, gently pull using lash tweezers and place back into tray, along magnetic holding strip.

To remove your lashes - gently pull the band from the outer corner and remove.

Clean magnets if there is any eyeliner residue and store back in their tray.

To remove magnetic eyeliner - QMBeautiMag sticks quite well to your eyelids - Micellar water works really well to remove your eyeliner. Using a cue-tip or our lint free liner remover wands, soak with micellar water or an oil-based makeup remover and gently glide over the liner until it comes off, follow up with your favorite face wash! Try our reusable cotton rounds for an even deeper clean!

Caring for your false lashes will ensure longevity. It's worth the effort because they are reusable and keeping them in tip top shape ensures good hygiene, more use and a great look each time!

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Lashes

1. Avoid applying makeup directly to your false lashes. Apply mascara to your natural lashes just before applying your false lashes. Using mascara helps to blend it all together - so if you do use it, apply prior to strip lash application to avoid using getting it directly on false lashes.

2. Clean your lashes after each use and before storage. After use and before storing your lashes, if there is any eyeliner residue on the lash magnets, you'll want to remove it from the base of your lash band and lash magnets.

You can use clean hands, tweezers or our lint-free flock tip applicators with a bit of micellar water or oil-based makeup remover to gently break it down and wash it off.

If you have any mascara that happened to get on the lashes,
use a clean mascara spoolie to comb through and take off any chunks.

If your lashes are in need of a deep clean (there was a lot of makeup transfer, etc.) - use a disposable bamboo & cotton round and place your strip lashes on top. Soap a disposable flock tip applicator with micellar water or oil-based makeup remover and gently massage the lash band, magnets and fibers to remove leftover mascara, eyeliner, dirt or excess oils.

3. Place lashes back in their lash tray to maintain their shape. FerroLashes come with a magnetic holding strip on the tray, attach your lashes along the magnetic holding band - keep the box open until they dry completely.

Once the bands are dry, close your storage box and they're ready for next use!

For our visual learners - check out a quick video here to see a lash clean in action

Take care of them and they’ll take care of you. Lashes should last 30 or more wears with proper maintenance and care.

Clear Eyeliner Application Guide

  1. Give eyeliner a little shake.
  2. Start With a Clean Canvas. Lingering oils are no good for any kind of makeup. ​If you've got a love affair with rich eye creams or oil based skincare products (whether makeup remover, wash or other), make sure you wash 'em away.  While it may be tempting to jump right in, oils may create a barrier on the skin that can interfere with the eyeliner getting a good 'stick' on your eyelids. ​Really, for good hygiene, we recommend starting with a clean base anyway.
  3. Apply makeup as usual. Be sure to apply before your your eyeliner & lashes. If you want to do a cat eye with your regular eyeliner and keep your clear eyeliner just for lash application, YOU GO GIRL! Yes, you can absolutely apply this over ANY eyeliner. It's clear - you'll still see your eyeliner AND it'll help everything blend together if you've got a black band on your false lashes, so do as you like! Simply apply your regular eyeliner and top it off with clear eyeliner along your lash line afterward.
  4. Apply along your upper lid, close to your lash line. The closer your eyeliner gets to your own lashes, the closer your false lashes will sit and ultimately look as seamless and natural as possible.

*TIP* Think of your eye like an "L" where the top bar is the eyelid and the bottom bar are your natural lashes, that corner is the sweet spot.

*TIP* Since it's clear, it can be somewhat hard to see how much you've put on. If you're having any issues with any part of the lashes connecting - just add a tiny bit more to that area.

WARNING: QMBeautiBond has a very small amount of iron oxides to help work with magnetic lash bands as well as regular strip lashes. As with magnetic eyeliner that contains a large amount of iron oxides, - do not use during an MRI.

QMBeautiBond has fantastic holding power for your lashes - which also means that it can be difficult to work around natural lashes and make sure there is no mess. Follow these tips to ensure a seamless application process...

Look down while applying (tilt your chin up looking into the mirror or use a swivel mirror pointing up at you). This eliminates any creases or fine lines on the eyelid and makes it much easier to get your liner close to your lash line, but not on your natural lashes.

If you have a standing swivel mirror, use it tilted up towards you while you look down at it to achieve the same affect. This makes the liner even easier as you use the counter surface to steady your arm and hand.

Anchor your hand. Using your pinky as an 'anchor' will steady your hand and help you get a nice clean line. Although it is clear, so this doesn't matter nearly as much as a black eyeliner. This is where you steady your hand by sticking your pinky finger straight out and leaning it against your cheek while you apply your eyeliner.

Tuck eyeliner close to your lash line - taking care not to get it in your eyes. This helps to marry the false strip lashes to your own.

If you have hooded eyes - hold this position so that your liner doesn't stick to your eyelids or transfer when you tilt your head down or look up. It is tacky when first applied, so apply, let it dry for a few seconds and then bring your lashes in. If you find the eyeliner is still tacky after you have applied your lashes, using a little bit of translucent powder, gently tap along your lash base and eyelid to remove the tack.

If you find that you get any lifting, it is likely due to oils on the natural eyelid.

  • If you have lifting right after application, you likely did not apply enough product and in that case, apply more, let it dry and then stick that inner corner down.
  • If you find that you have lifting after wearing them a while, then you may have more oily lids. To help with this, apply either a translucent powder and primer prior to clear eyeliner or use a matte liquid eyeliner, followed by the clear eyeliner. A matte gel eyeliner such as this one works amazing as a base.

1. Remove lashes from tray by the band (never by the lashes).

Tilt your chin up and bring your lashes in and gently press into place.

*HELPFUL TIP* Bring your lashes close to your eyes, without connecting. Line up where you want your false lash to sit before connecting them to your eyeliner (because it will bond instantly). When you line up the lash, bring it straight in and allow it to connect, let go and then using your precision tweezers, adjust and connect the inner and outer corners.

5. Clamp. Once you've applied your lash, using either clean fingers or our GlamGrip Tweezers, gently squeeze them together with your natural lashes to marry it all together. If you need to adjust, it can be helpful to adjust each area as needed. If you want to remove and reapply, gently pull downwards and then reapply.

6. Set and forget. Once you've found the perfect placement and you’re satisfied with how they look and feel – gently push the lashes into place and allow them to 'set'. Once the lashes set into place, you'll be good all day (or night) long!

Magnetic Lash Anchor Application Guide

Looking to keep your FerroLashes in place during a wild ride? Look no further than our magnetic lash anchors!

Not only do they sound like something a pirate might use, they'll also keep your lashes secure in even the most blustery conditions (looking at you, hurricanes).

Although not required, you can absolutely use these in addition to your liner/lash application.

Here's how to use them:

First, apply your magnetic lashes and liner of choice as per usual (you know the drill).

Then, grab your anchors with the magnet and lashes facing upward and position them under your natural lashes, at the inner and outer corners of your lash band - right under those trusty magnets.

Taking care not to touch your eyes with the anchors.

Or, if you're feeling extra secure, line them all the way along the band.

If you've ever had issues with getting your lash band close to your natural lashes and looking seamless together - these will help you immensely.

These little friends work like a charm, sandwiching your natural lashes between the magnetic strip and the anchor.

What's truly amazing about lash anchors is that they can be used all by themselves for days where you just don't feel like wearing eyeliner or adhesive!

The best part? They secure your lashes really well - but when you're ready to take 'em off, it's a breeze and there is no damage to your natural lashes - because as you know, we love lashes! Natural ones most importantly...

Click here to watch a full length tutorial with all our tips and tricks!

*We recommend using precision application tweezers when applying anchors so that you can clearly see what you're doing and where the lashes are going*

Now let's get to it! Here's how to apply anchor lashes:

  1. Apply a bit of mascara to your natural lashes & allow it to dry. This gives the anchors grip so that they don't slip (away from your lid, that is)
  2. Measure lash band and trim if needed - If your lash fits just right, it should start from the inner corner, where the bulk of your lashes begin and end 2-3 lashes in from the outer corners. If you do need to trim them, simply use clippers and snip from the outer corner, one magnet in, butted against the next magnet, try that fit and trim again if necessary.
  3. Flex lash band between magnets to contour to your eyes (with clean hands). Flexing new bands back and forth in a u-shape between the magnets will help get a nice contour when applying the lashes. This step will seriously set you up for an ultra comfortable lash fit! Our bands are made of cotton to ensure a lightweight and comfortable fit; however, they may still come a bit stiff after production, so flexing them back and forth in a U-shape between the magnets will help to get a nice contour when applying the lashes.
  4. Grab Your Precision Lash Tweezers and Get Ready. For the love of all things holy - please use lash tweezers. Ideally, you'll be using false-lash-specific-tweezers, like our precision lash tweezer or coated tweezer to bring your anchors in. Since the anchors are small, you really need to see what you're doing or where you're pointing those things, so grab your tweezers and let's get this party started!
  5. Holding the Anchors...
    Grab the anchor lash about half way down and squeeze it tighter than your favorite hug. If you hold it like it's your long-lost, kind-of-weird, second cousin, twice removed at the family reunion - it's gonna fall or jiggle around like it's trying to escape the awkward conversation. Do not recommend.
    Also, you might not want to do this over an open sink. We'll let you fill in the blanks but know this - the drain hole is an unforgiving one.
  6. Hold Your Full Lash On-Top of Your Natural Lashes, Lined-Up Where You Want it. Hold it close to your lid when you're ready to connect to the anchor so that it gets close to your eyelid and looks seamless. *TIP* If you struggle at all with it pulling away when you bring in your anchors, try using a little bit of lash attaching eyeliner (either QMBeautiBond or QMBeautiMag) and attaching your false lash to your eyelid so that you don't have to hold it by hand. This will help you as you learn the ropes with attaching your lashes using anchors.
  7. Bring in your anchor. Ensure that the magnet and lash fiber's are facing upward (towards the ceiling). This part is important because the magnet needs to face the right direction in order to snap onto your magnetic lash band, and the fibres need to face upwards to flow into your false lashes and not the other way around (poking you in the eye). *PRO TIP* It helps to grab your anchor lash about half way down. When using your tweezers to bring in your anchor, make sure you're holding them in a way that allows for you to see where you're bringing it in clearly. If you hold it and bring it up and find that you can't quite see what you're trying to do, simply flip your tweezers around, try grabbing your anchor another way, etc. The key here is to make sure you can see clearly what you're looking at. (Videos below if that sounded more complex than it actually is)
  8. Position anchor under your natural lash. Align anchor magnet under your lashes and allow it to snap onto the magnetic lash band (sandwiching your own lashes).You can start at either side you'd like, we have found it helpful to start with the outer corner and then work your way in.
  9. Do this all the way along the full lash band to complete the look.

Helpful Tip: Looking into the mirror, use one hand to hold the outer corner of the full lash band against your eyelid while bringing the anchor lash in and allow to snap together. Then do this with the inner corner - once they're both connected, adding your inner anchor is super simple and finishes the whole look off nicely!

  • To adjust or remove your anchor lashes, use fingers and carefully slide your anchor lash outward and then adjust/reapply

Reminder: Push your lash band close to your lash line when applying your anchors, this will help your false lashes look as natural as possible.

One last thing - make sure you hold the anchors securely with your tweezers. Don't do this over an open sink - if they fall in, they'll enter the abyss that is the plumbing system.

If purchasing anchors separate from magnetic lashes, make sure the positive/negative side of the lash magnets are in the correct position - if they're the same pole, the anchors won't flow upward into your lashes as they push away from each other.

Warning: This product is not intended for use by children or during an MRI.

To remove your lashes - Use your fingers to carefully slide the anchor outward to remove. Once anchors are removed, your band simply comes off.

Clean magnets if there is any eyeliner or makeup residue and store back in their tray.

Caring for your false lashes will ensure longevity. It's worth the effort because they are reusable and keeping them in tip top shape ensures good hygiene, more use and a great look each time!

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Lashes

1. Avoid applying makeup directly to your false lashes. Applying mascara prior to using your lash anchors is important so that they don't slip off your natural lashes. Wait for your mascara to dry before applying your lashes to avoid makeup transfer.

2. Clean your lashes after each use and before storage. After use and before storing your lashes, if there is any mascara or makeup residue on the lash magnets, you'll want to remove it from the base of your lash band and lash magnets so that they're ready for next use.

You can use clean hands, tweezers or our lint-free flock tip applicators with a bit of micellar water or gentle cleanser to gently break it down and wash it off.

If you have any mascara that happened to get on the lash fibers, use a clean mascara spoolie to comb through and take off any chunks.

If your lashes are in need of a deep clean (there was a lot of makeup transfer, etc.) - use a disposable bamboo & cotton round and place your strip lashes on top. Soap a disposable flock tip applicator with a gentle cleanser or our charcoal face and body bar and gently massage the lash band, magnets and fibers to remove leftover mascara, eyeliner, dirt or excess oils.

Since the anchors are small, using tweezers to secure the lash down and the flock tip applicator in the other hand, gently massage the magnet to ensure it's clean.

3. Place lashes back in their lash tray to maintain their shape. FerroLashes come with a magnetic holding strip on the tray, attach your lashes along the magnetic holding band - keep the box open until they dry completely.

Once the bands are dry, close your storage box and they're ready for next use! The anchors can be placed back into the box or left on the cotton round to dry completely - but remember to put them back when they're dry!

Toubleshooting

If you’re having issues getting the lashes to stick to the eyeliner after 2 coats and it is completely dry, make sure:

  • That you shake the eyeliner before application. Iron oxides are what makes the formula ferrous (magnetic) and are heavier than the rest of the ingredients and so they tend to settle, shaking the eyeliner will ensure the iron oxides are disbursed through the product properly.
  • That you have applied the eyeliner wide enough to grab the magnets. There are tiny magnets adhered to the lashes, this is what clicks onto the eyeliner. If the eyeliner is not thick enough along the lash line, the magnets won’t be able to grab onto anything. If you're noticing a particular area that isn't grabbing well, apply a bit more eyeliner to that area and allow to dry, then pop it on!
  • That your lashes are making connection all the way along your eyeliner. While this might sound silly, it is common to have an area which doesn't have enough coverage to grab the magnet. If you can see that it is making connection, give it a gentle push and allow it to bond - if that doesn't work, just apply a little more eyeliner to that area, let it dry a moment and then click into place!
  • That you've flexed your lash band well - if your band is too stiff, the inner or outer corner may pop off. What a quick video here to see how your lash band should look after a good flex...

If you're having issues with the eyeliner sticking to your lid or lifting, this is usually a pretty easy fix!

It can be one of the following (or a combination):

  • Your liner couldn't bond to your lid. As with any eyeliner, oils are generally unwelcome. Make sure your lids are clear of oils before applying. You can also use a matte powder along your lash line (anywhere the liquid eyeliner will go) as a base prior to application. You can use a matte eyeshadow or a translucent powder. The goal is just to give the eyeliner something matte to hold onto. Think applying something to a shiny surface vs a matte surface.

Using a matte gel eyeliner underneath may help or using a dark matte powder eyeshadow prior to your liquid eyeliner helps to give it something to grab onto as well as gives you some 'give' if your line isn't perfectly smooth. Using an angled brush, draw a line along your lash line.

  • Your eyeliner was applied too thick. If you apply eyeliner too thick, it can interfere with drying properly. Less is more and you can build up as you need. Give a thin first layer, dry completely. Then attach your lashes or do a second layer and then attach your lashes. 
  • You didn't give enough dry time between layers. Make sure the eyeliner dries completely between coats, gently touch the eyeliner, if it doesn't transfer to your fingers, it's dry.

If your eyeliner feels tacky - When you apply your eyeliner, it does have a tacky feel to it, this helps with initial lash application and should dry - if you have hooded eyes and find that it still feels tacky, simply use a translucent powder and pat along your lash line/base of your lashes to remove the tack entirely.

If you've applied your eyeliner and your lashes aren't staying put or you have any lifting, make sure that:

  • You have applied the eyeliner wide enough to grab the lash band. If the eyeliner is not wide enough along your lash line, the magnets on the lash band, or the lash band itself won’t be able to grab onto anything. If you're noticing a particular area that isn't grabbing well, apply a bit more eyeliner to that area and allow to dry and it should pop right on!
  • Your lash band is flexed well – if the band is too stiff, the inner or outer corner may pop off. Watch a quick video here.
  • Your lash band fits your eyes properly. The key to great false lashes that look natural is placement and fit. Have a look at this video to know if you need to do a trim (and how to trim them).

If you are having trouble with your eyelashes clicking into place, make sure that:

You flex the lash band – if the band is too stiff, the inner or outer corner may pop off. The simple solution is to flex your band to help it contour to your eyes (especially helpful if you have protruding eyes). This is done by taking the lash and flexing it in a u-shape, back and forth, focusing between the magnets. Watch a quick video here.

You have applied the eyeliner wide enough to grab the magnets. There are tiny magnets adhered to the lashes, this is what clicks onto the eyeliner. If the eyeliner is not wide enough along the lash line, the magnets won’t be able to grab onto anything. If you're noticing a particular area that isn't grabbing well, apply a bit more eyeliner to that area and allow to dry, then pop it on!

Another thing that really helps is to apply your eyeliner right along your lash line and eyelid (imagine an L shape), which gives the lash band a little corner to tuck into...

Trim the lash band if it is too long. The key to great false lashes that look natural is placement and fit. Have a look at this video to know if you need to do a trim (and how to trim them).

Have you applied your false lashes, but they don't look in unison with your natural lashes?

Want to get your lashes looking seamless?

Lash placement is the answer!

It does take some practice, here are some tips for getting a great placement:

1. Practice getting your eyeliner close to your natural lash line.

Of course, you will want to avoid getting your eyeliner into your eyes. Just nice and close to your top lash line.

Once your eyeliner is tucked in close, it's just a matter of bringing your lashes in (point them upwards) and allowing them to click into place. Your eyeliner placement is really going to dictate where your false lashes will sit, so working at getting that nice and close!

Here's what we have found to be helpful when bringing in your false lashes to achieve a seamless finish:

  • looking into the mirror, bring your lashes in, close to your eye, but not touching your eyeliner.
  • line it up, then bring it in and allow it to connect in the center
  • let go (your lash won't be fully connected yet and that's ok, it won't go anywhere)
  • then grab the inner corner and attach
  • then the outer corner and attach.
