Why Aren’t My Magnetic Lashes Working? 3 Common Mistakes (and How to Fix Them!)

Soft Magnetic lashes promise a quick, glue-free path to glamorous eyes—but if yours aren’t cooperating, frustration can set in fast. You’re not alone! While Beyelian’s Soft Magnetic Lashes are designed for effortless application, a few small missteps can derail the magic. Don’t give up just yet! Let’s troubleshoot the top three reasons your magnetic lashes might be underperforming and turn your lash game from “meh” to mesmerizing.

1. Skipping the Prep: Always Curl Your Natural Lashes First
Magnetic lashes rely on your natural lashes as a foundation. If they’re straight or droopy, the magnetic strips won’t have a secure “anchor” to cling to, leading to slippage or awkward gaps.

The Fix:

  • Use a lash curler to gently lift your natural lashes upward before applying the magnetic set. This creates a curved base that aligns perfectly with the magnetic lash band.

2. Misaligning the Magnetic Strips: Color Coding Matters!
Each Beyelian Soft magnetic lash set includes an upper and lower strip marked with colored dots (blue and red). These aren’t just decorative—they’re your guide to perfect alignment.

The Fix:

  • Step 1: Place the upper lash strip (blue dots) on the magnetic applicator, ensuring the dots face upward.

  • Step 2: Position the lower lash strip (red dots) on the opposite side of the applicator, with red dots facing downward.

  • Step 3: Gently press the applicator so the blue and red dots “kiss” magnetically. This ensures the lashes snap together correctly, with the curl pointing upward for a natural, wide-eyed effect.

3. Positioning Too Far from the Lash Line: Close Contact is Key
If your magnetic lashes sit too high above your natural lash line, they’ll look unnatural or even droop. The magnets need to “hug” your lashes tightly to stay put.

The Fix:

  • Look Down into a mirror while applying. This relaxes your eyelid and exposes the lash line.

  • Press Firmly: Once the lashes are aligned, press the applicator gently but securely against your lid for 2-3 seconds. The magnets need direct contact with your natural lashes to bond properly.

  • Adjust as Needed: Use clean fingers or a cotton swab to nudge the lashes closer to your lash line if gaps remain.


Magnetic lashes are a game-changer, but like any beauty tool, they require a little know-how. By curling your natural lashes, aligning the color-coded strips correctly, and ensuring snug placement, you’ll unlock the full potential of Beyelian’s Soft Magnetic Lashes. No more mid-day adjustments or frustration—just flawless, fuss-free glam in seconds.

Give these tips a try, and watch your lash routine transform from tricky to effortless. Remember: practice makes perfect, and soon you’ll be batting those magnetic beauties like a pro!
