How to remove magnetic eyelashes (no-liner styles)
If you’re wearing no-liner magnetic lashes, removal is usually quickest.
Step-by-step
-
Start at the outer corner
-
Support your natural lashes with one finger on the lid
-
Gently lift and peel the lash away in small motions
-
If your system uses “magnet-to-magnet” contact, separate slowly—don’t snap them apart
-
Place lashes directly into the case to keep shape
If your lash band feels stuck, do not pull harder—check if makeup residue dried around the lash line.
How to remove magnetic eyelashes (with liner)
If you’re wearing magnetic lashes with liner, you want to loosen the liner first.
Step-by-step
-
Soften the liner with a gentle remover on a cotton pad
-
Hold it near the lash line for a few seconds (don’t rub hard)
-
Peel the lash from the outer corner slowly
-
Remove the remaining liner with gentle downward strokes (no back-and-forth scrubbing)
If you’re sensitive, avoid harsh rubbing—irritation often comes from removal, not the lashes.
