What are magnetic false eyelashes?

Magnetic false eyelashes are reusable false lashes that use magnets to stay in place—so you don’t need traditional lash adhesive.

In real life, they “stick” in one of two main ways:

With liner: magnets grip a magnetic eyeliner base
Without liner: no magnetic eyeliner; hold depends on lash design + placement + comfort-first lightweight fit

Do magnetic false eyelashes work without glue?

Yes—magnetic false eyelashes work without glue, because magnets replace traditional lash adhesive.

But “no glue” can still confuse shoppers, because some systems still use a magnetic eyeliner step.

The 2 main types of magnetic false eyelashes

magnetic false eyelashes with liner vs without liner

1) Magnetic false eyelashes with liner

These use magnetic eyeliner as the base. The lash magnets grip the liner.

Best for:

people who already wear eyeliner
anyone who likes a more “guided” placement
those who want a strong, structured base for glam looks

Trade-off:

you’ll remove lashes + eyeliner at the end of the day

If you want the full “liner vs no-liner” comparison:

2) Magnetic false eyelashes without liner (no-liner systems)

These skip magnetic eyeliner completely.

Best for:

people who hate eyeliner or want the fastest routine
minimal makeup days
beginners who want a cleaner process (once they learn placement)

Trade-off:

fit and technique matter more (lightweight design helps a lot)
