Lash Guides

If you wear glasses, you’ve probably had at least one of these moments:

The Real Struggle: Lashes + Glasses = Clash?

When you add glasses into the mix, your lashes suddenly have a new neighbor: your lenses.

Common issues include:

• Lashes that are too long, brushing or bending against the glass

• Lashes with weak curl that aim straight forward instead of up

• Thick, heavy styles that make your eyes feel tired behind frames

• Smudging on the inside of your lenses from mascara or makeup

But the problem isn’t “you can’t wear lashes.” It’s that most lash styles are designed for people without glasses — or for photos, not real-life screen time, commuting and long wear.

The solution is simple: choose styles and techniques that work with your frames, not against them.

What to Look for in Magnetic Lashes If You Wear Glasses

When choosing magnetic lashes for glasses wearers, think in terms of lens clearance, comfort and balance.

Short-to-Medium Length (Instead of Extra-Long)

The biggest glasses conflict is usually length.

You want:

• Short-to-medium length lashes that stop just before your lens line

• Enough length to define the eyes, but not so much that they hit the glass every time you blink

If your lashes constantly tap your lenses, they will:

• Feel annoying within minutes

• Leave smudges on the glass

• Lose their curl and shape faster

Starting with more moderate length — like styles similar to LunarMuse — is usually the sweet spot for daily glasses wear.

Strong Curl That Lifts Up, Not Out

It’s not just how long your lashes are — it’s the direction they grow in.

Glasses-friendly lashes should:

• Have a good curl, so the tips lift upward instead of shooting straight forward

• Move away from your lenses as they extend, not right into them

Stronger curl helps:

• Keep your lash tips away from the glass

• Make your eyes look more open behind your frames

• Reduce that “constant brushing” feeling when you blink

Lightweight, Flexible Bands

Glasses already add something sitting on your nose and ears. You don’t want your lashes to feel like a second pair of frames.

Look for:

• Ultra-thin, flexible lash bands that move with your lid

• Soft magnetic systems that feel light, not stiff or pokey

Stiff, thick bands:

• Are more likely to lift at the inner or outer corner

• Can press against your lid when your frames shift

• Feel noticeable and tiring over a long day

LashNova’s soft magnetic lash-to-lash designs use slim, flexible bands that are much more comfortable under glasses, especially when you’re wearing them for many hours.

Wispy, Tapered Tips Instead of a Solid “Block”

Behind glasses, very dense, blocky lashes can quickly start to feel like a dark curtain over your eyes.

For glasses wearers, it’s usually better to choose:

• Wispy, feathered fibers with a bit of spacing between clusters

• Styles that look airy and dimensional, not like one solid bar of black

This lets:

• Light still reach your eyes from behind the glass

• Your eyeshadow and liner peek through

• Your eyes look bright and awake rather than weighed down

Soft Magnetic Lash-to-Lash Systems for Sensitive Eyes

If your eyes already get dry or tired from screens and glasses, the last thing you need is extra irritation from harsh glue or heavy liner.

Soft magnetic lash-to-lash systems:

• Don’t require magnetic eyeliner on the skin

• Gently clamp around your natural lashes instead

• Are easy to adjust and remove without scrubbing

Lashes like LunarMuse and Nebula Crown are designed to feel as close as possible to “nothing on your eyes,” which is ideal when you also have frames on your face.

Best LashNova Magnetic Lashes for Glasses Wearers

Here’s how LashNova’s core styles fit into a glasses-friendly routine.

LunarMuse – Everyday Glasses-Friendly Soft Glam

LunarMuse is the perfect starting point if you wear glasses and want soft, wearable glam:

• Short-to-medium length that works beautifully behind most frames

• Wispy, feathered fibers that don’t overpower your eyes

• Lightweight, flexible band for all-day comfort

Why it works with glasses:

• The length is noticeable but not “windshield-wiper” long

• The airy design means your eyes still look bright behind your lenses

• It adds just enough drama for daily wear, work, calls and errands

If you only choose one glasses-friendly lash to try, make it LunarMuse.

Nebula Crown – More Lift Without Hitting Your Lenses

For days when you want extra impact — content shooting, nights out, events — Nebula Crown gives more volume and lift while still being manageable with glasses.

• More dramatic than LunarMuse, with added fullness

• A shape that focuses length and lift toward the outer half of the eye

• Still designed with comfortable, soft bands

Why it works:

• The extra lift and curl help push the fibers up and out of your lens line

• The outer-corner emphasis pairs beautifully with many frame shapes

• It gives you that “wow” effect without constantly touching your glasses

If your glasses sit very close to your face, you may want to test Nebula Crown with your frames on and, if needed, trim a tiny bit from the outer end for a custom fit.

GlitzBabe – Special-Occasion Drama That Still Plays Nice with Frames

GlitzBabe is your special-occasion, extra-glam option if you wear glasses.

To make GlitzBabe glasses-friendly:

• Reserve it for nights out, parties, events and content shoots

• Keep your inner corner liner thin so your eyes stay open and bright behind your frames

• Check the length against your lenses and trim lightly from the outer edge if needed

Paired with a flattering frames shape and clean eyeliner, GlitzBabe can give glasses wearers a truly statement look without turning into a lash-vs-lens battle.

How to Apply Magnetic Lashes When You Wear Glasses (Step-by-Step)

Choosing the right style is half the equation. The other half is how you apply and test your lashes with your frames on.

Step 1 – Curl Your Natural Lashes

• Use an eyelash curler to lift your natural lashes upward.

• If you wear mascara, apply a light coat to your natural lashes only and let it dry completely.

This helps your lashes blend with the magnetic band and keeps everything moving up and away from your lenses.

Step 2 – Keep Liner Thin and Close to the Lash Line

• Tightline or draw a thin line along your upper lash line.

• If you like a wing, keep the thickness concentrated toward the outer third of your eye.

Thick liner from inner to outer corner can make your eyes feel heavier behind glasses and can reduce visible lid space once lashes go on.

Step 3 – Apply Your Magnetic Lashes as Usual

With soft magnetic lash-to-lash styles:

• Place the top lash along your natural lash line.

• Use the bottom lash to gently clamp from underneath, focusing on alignment, not force.

• Work from the center outward, then secure inner and outer magnets.

Focus on comfort and alignment along your natural lash line first — you’ll fine-tune lens clearance in the next step.

Step 4 – Put On Your Glasses and Check Lens Clearance

Now comes the glasses-specific part:

• Put your glasses on after your lashes are applied.

• Blink normally and look in different directions.

• Check if:

  • The lash tips touch your lenses when you blink

  • The band feels like it’s bumping into your frames when you look up or down

If the tips are just brushing lightly, you may still be fine.
If they are bending noticeably or making constant contact, it’s time to adjust.

Step 5 – Adjust Placement or Trim If Needed

To create more clearance:

• Try placing the band a tiny bit closer to your natural lash line (not on your skin, but avoid sitting too far forward on the lid).

• Make sure your natural lashes are well curled so they’re not pushing the band outward.

• If necessary, trim a very small segment from the outer end of the lash band, then test again with your glasses on.

Always trim gradually — it’s easy to take off more, but you can’t add length back.

Styling Tips to Make Lashes and Glasses Work Together

Once you’ve got your placement sorted, these styling tweaks will help your whole look feel intentional and balanced.

Match Lash Intensity to Your Frame Style

• Thin, minimal frames:
  Soft, wispy lashes like LunarMuse give just enough definition without overpowering the face.

• Bold or thick frames:
  You can go a bit more dramatic with styles like Nebula Crown, so the lashes don’t visually disappear behind the frames.

• Colorful or statement frames:
  Keep lashes cleaner and well-curled so your eyes stay bright and visible behind the color pop.

Use Lower Lash Line Definition Strategically

Glasses can sometimes visually “cut” the eye area. A little lower-lash definition helps:

• Add a soft shadow or pencil along the outer half of your lower lash line.

• Optionally add a light coat of mascara to your natural lower lashes.

This balances the upper lash volume so your eyes look larger and more dimensional behind your lenses.

Keep the Inner Corner Light and Open

• Avoid super heavy liner or long lashes in the inner corner — they can crowd the eye behind the frame bridge.

• Choose styles where the inner corner fibers are shorter and more subtle.

This keeps your eye area feeling open and helps prevent friction around your tear duct area while wearing glasses.

Comfort & Care – Why Maintenance Matters Even More for Glasses Wearers

If you wear glasses daily, you’re probably wearing your lashes for long stretches too — which means comfort and hygiene are non-negotiable.

To keep your lashes feeling light and comfortable:

• Clean your magnetic lash bands after each wear to remove oils and makeup.

• Follow a gentle routine like the one in How to Clean Magnetic Lashes and Make Them Last 100+ Uses.

• Store them properly in their case, following the natural curve, as explained in How to Store Magnetic Lashes So They Don’t Lose Shape.

A clean, soft band is less likely to feel stiff or irritating — which matters a lot when you’re adding frames on top.

Final Thoughts – Yes, Magnetic Lashes Can Work with Glasses

You don’t have to choose between seeing clearly and loving your lashes.

To make magnetic lashes work with glasses:

• Choose short-to-medium length styles with strong curl and wispy fibers.

• Prioritize lightweight, flexible bands that stay comfortable under frames.

• Always test your lash placement with your glasses on and adjust or trim if needed.

• Balance your overall look by matching lash intensity to your frames and using soft lower-lash definition.

• Keep your lashes clean and well-stored so they feel good for long wear days.

If you’re a glasses wearer ready to build a lash routine that actually works, start with:

• LunarMuse – your everyday, glasses-friendly soft glam

• Nebula Crown – added drama and lift that still respects your lens space

• GlitzBabe – special-occasion sparkle for those nights when you want your eyes and your frames to steal the show

With the right styles and a few glasses-specific tweaks, magnetic lashes can make your eyes look bigger, brighter and more defined — without ever fighting your lenses.
