Ardell Magnetic Lashes Double Demi Wispies
I’m very much a beginner when it comes to false lashes and usually rely on a willing friend to apply them for me, so the idea of skipping the glue in favour of magnets really appealed to me when I was given the chance to try the Ardell Magnetic Lashes Double Demi Wispies* to save me the hassle of using glue.
Unfortunately, instead of making application easier, this made application even more fiddly. Application of these magnetic lashes involves placing two sets of lashes onto the magnetic applicator to sandwich your natural lashes in between the two to allow the magnets to fasten the lashes together. This, in itself, is a very fiddly process. I found that the lashes would either join together before I had chance to place them on my natural lashes, or that my view was restricted by the applicator. In the end, I think I found it easier to apply these with my eyes open, but I found myself either trapping my eyelids between the magnets or having the lashes sit too far away from lash line. Even when I was successful in applying these, they didn’t feel secure on my lashes and I doubted their longevity.
While the curve of the lashes band does match up to your natural lash line, there is an even set of long lashes all across the band, meaning that there are thick lashes at either end where on my natural lashes are much more sparse. This meant that the lashes have nothing to hold and look unnatural. The lash band is simply too long for my eyes. With traditional lashes I would just trim these, however, in doing this with the magnetic lashes you sacrifice the lashes and the ability to stay put on your lashes and the look of the lashes overall.
I’m pleased to have been able to try this lash alternative out, however, I will definitely be sticking with lashes & glue in the future.
