Lash Guides

If you’ve seen magnetic lash clusters and thought, “Wait… am I supposed to apply these one by one?”—this guide is for you.

Clusters look advanced, but they’re often more forgiving than a full strip, because you can place them exactly where your eye needs lift and volume.

And if you’re using a lightweight, flexible magnetic design (like LashNova’s featherlight band), clusters can feel easier to control—especially if strips tend to lift on your corners.

What are magnetic lash clusters?

Magnetic lash clusters are small lash segments (instead of one full strip) that let you customize your look—outer lift, center volume, or a soft natural boost.

Some people searching “eyelashes magnetic” are actually looking for this segmented style—so we’ll keep definitions clear here.

Clusters are great if:

• Full strips feel too long or too heavy

• Your corners lift easily

• You want a more natural, “built” lash look

How to Apply Magnetic Lash Clusters (Quick Step-by-Step)

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

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

2. Start with one cluster on the outer third (most flattering anchor).

3. Add a second cluster slightly inward (for balance).

4. Optional: add a lighter piece near center (only if needed).

5. Press each contact point gently to lock.

Magnetic Lash Clusters vs Magnetic Corner Lashes (corner vs clusters)

Magnetic corner lashes are usually a single piece designed to lift the outer corner fast.
Clusters can do that too—but can also build fullness across the lash line.

Choose corner lashes if you want:

• The fastest outer-corner lift

• Minimal pieces (easy daily routine)

Choose clusters if you want:

• A customized look across multiple zones

• Better fit on tricky eye shapes

What You’ll Need

• Your magnetic lash clusters (or segmented magnetic pieces)

• Lash applicator or tweezers (recommended for precision)

• An upward-tilted mirror (look slightly down into it)
  Optional:

• Eyelash curler

• A light coat of mascara (if your system allows)

Step-by-Step: How to Apply Magnetic Lash Clusters

Step 1 — Prep your lash line (don’t skip)

Clean and dry your lids. If you’re oily, prep is everything:

Step 2 — Plan your “cluster map”

• Natural: outer third + one inward

• Glam: add an extra piece for density

Step 3 — Place the first cluster on the outer third

This is your anchor. Align with your lash roots (not eyelid skin).

Step 4 — Add the second cluster slightly inward

Leave a tiny gap so it looks seamless, not stacked.

Step 5 — Optional: add a lighter piece toward center

Avoid the very inner corner until you’re confident—comfort matters.

Step 6 — Press + check corners

Press contact points for 8–10 seconds.
If a corner lifts, it’s usually oil or fit.

Common Beginner Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)

1. “They look stacked, not seamless.”
   Fix: use fewer pieces + leave tiny gaps.

2. “Outer corner lifts.”
   Fix: place first piece higher + prep oily lids + re-press.

3. “They feel pokey near the inner eye.”
   Fix: stop short of the inner corner; use lighter pieces.
