Lash Guides

If you’ve ever tried a full strip and thought, “This is too much for everyday,” magnetic corner lashes are your shortcut.

They’re small lash pieces designed for the outer corner—so you get a lifted, cat-eye effect without the weight (or commitment) of a full lash strip.

They also solve one of the most common issues beginners run into: corner lifting.

What are magnetic corner lashes?

Magnetic corner lashes are short, lightweight lash pieces meant to sit on the outer third of your lash line. They’re designed to:

• Add lift and definition where it’s most flattering

• Feel lighter than full strips

• Look more natural for daily wear

They’re especially useful if strip lashes lift at the outer corner on your eye shape.

Magnetic corner lashes vs magnetic lash clusters

This is the simplest way to think about it:

• Corner lashes = one (or two) pieces focused on the outer corner

• Magnetic lash clusters = multiple pieces you can place across the lash line

So yes—corner lashes are basically a “cluster use case” focused on the outer third.

How to Put On Magnetic Corner Lashes (Quick Step-by-Step)

If you want the quick version first, here’s the routine most people follow:

1. Clean + dry your lash line (oil makes magnets slip).

2. Place the corner piece on the outer third (not too close to the very edge).

3. Attach the bottom anchor/clip underneath to “sandwich” your natural lashes.

4. Adjust angle for lift, then press to lock (8–10 seconds).

“How do you put magnetic eyelashes on?” (corner method)

People ask how do you put magnetic eyelashes on in a general sense, but corner pieces have one big advantage: you only need to perfect placement in one zone.

Follow the same order every time:
outer third → clamp → lift angle → press.

What You’ll Need

• Magnetic corner lashes (outer-corner pieces)

• Bottom anchors/clips (if your system uses them)

• Lash applicator (recommended for precision)

• A mirror you can tilt upward (look slightly down into it)

Optional:

• Eyelash curler

• A light coat of mascara (only if compatible)

Step-by-Step: How to Apply Magnetic Corner Lashes (Beginner-Friendly)

Step 1 — Prep the lid (this makes or breaks hold)

Clean and dry your lash line. If you’re oily, prep matters most:

Step 2 — Place the top piece on the outer third

Aim for the “sweet spot”: outer third, not the very end of your lash line.
This looks more natural and reduces poking.

Step 3 — Bring the bottom anchor up from underneath

From under your natural lashes, bring the anchor up to meet the magnet point.
You may feel a soft “click”—that’s normal (it means alignment is correct).

(If you use a clamp applicator, the motion is the same—just easier.)

Step 4 — Adjust the angle for lift (before you lock)

Here’s the trick: lift the outer piece slightly upward so the “wing” looks intentional, not droopy.

Step 5 — Press to lock (8–10 seconds)

Press the magnet points gently. Don’t rub.

Step 6 (optional) — Add a second, lighter piece slightly inward

If you want more depth but still natural, add a second piece a little closer to the center.

Best magnetic lash for inner corner vs outer corner (light touch)

Many people searching best magnetic lash are really searching for what looks most flattering on their eye shape.

• For a lifted look, outer-corner pieces usually win (they’re easier to fit and lighter).

• For inner corner pieces, keep it short and lightweight (inner corner is the most sensitive zone).

Common Beginner Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)

1) “It sits on my eyelid skin.”

Fix: look down into the mirror and place it closer to lash roots, not on skin.

2) “Outer corner still lifts.”

Fix:

• move it slightly inward (outer third sweet spot)

• press longer

• prep oily lids

• consider adding a second piece slightly inward for support

3) “It feels pokey.”

Fix: don’t place it at the extreme edge. Corner lashes work best when they end before the outermost corner.

4) “It slides around.”

Fix: your lash line likely has oil—clean + dry again.

FAQs: Magnetic Corner Lashes

Are magnetic corner lashes good for beginners?

Yes—because you’re only mastering placement on the outer third, not a full strip across the entire lash line.

Do corner lashes work without liner?

Many no-liner systems do, because the hold comes from the magnets and anchors—not eyeliner.
