For those of us who aren’t blessed with long, lush lashes,false eyelashesare a game changer. But while some falsies require messy glue, magnetic lashes make it easier than ever to amp up your fringe.

Magnetic lashes take the mess out of the process and are less likely to come off, and application is much more seamless than using traditional tweezers and glue, says celebrity makeup artistKirin Bhatty.

The More You KnowThere are two kinds of magnetic lashes. Some use a magnetic eyeliner that holds the lash strip. Others feature two strips, which you sandwich above and under your natural lashes and snap together via tiny magnets at the base.

The More You Know

There are two kinds of magnetic lashes. Some use a magnetic eyeliner that holds the lash strip. Others feature two strips, which you sandwich above and under your natural lashes and snap together via tiny magnets at the base.

We tested both kinds of magnetic lashes, 15 in total, and assessed how easy they were to apply (and remove), how comfortable they were to wear, and, of course, the type of look they delivered.

Below, the best magnetic lashes that PEOPLE tested.

These synthetic lashes held their shape beautifully without bunching up or crinkling, even after wearing them and removing them multiple times. Despite their attached magnets, these lashes are feather-light, and we also loved how easy it was to manipulate and position the lashes and how secure they felt once they were in place. Plus, both the lashes and the liner itself were incredibly easy to remove with just a little bit of micellar water and a cotton swab.While this kit comes with only one style of lash (which may or may not require trimming, based on how long you like your lashes), there are other styles available, and, at this wallet-friendly price, you really can’t go wrong.Lash Type:Synthetic |Features:Four styles available |Reusable:Up to 15 timesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesBest No-MeasureVelour Lashes Magnetic Effortless KitPHOTO: Sephora$28 at Amazon$28 at Ulta$28$26 at Jcpenney.comStar QualitiesMagnets are secure but allow adjustmentEyeliner glides on seamlessly and dries quicklyRed FlagsRequires a fairly thick coat of liner for proper adhesionFor those looking for lashes that you can just pop on with no trimming or tweaking required, these are a great choice. Eight magnets are inset on the cotton band, delivering the exact right amount of hold — not so much that we couldn’t adjust the placement as needed, but enough that the lash strip felt totally secure all day long.We did find that a good coat of liner is required in order to get full adhesion, but the liner is easy to apply, making that process seamless as well.

We found that this set of thin and light falsies blended in seamlessly with our natural lashes, adding the ideal amount of subtle enhancement without looking too dramatic.They were extremely comfortable to wear, and we also loved the fluttering effect, as well as how quickly and easily they attached to the magnetic liner (which, it bears mentioning, needs to be purchased separately). The shape and size of these also make them a nice choice for those with smaller-shaped eyes.Lash type:Vegan silk |Features:Wispy |Reusable:Up to 30 timesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesBest for a Glam LookGlamnetic Lucky Magnetic LashesPHOTO: People / Tamara Staples$30$20 at Amazon$20 at Ulta$30 at Ecosmetics.comStar QualitiesMagnets guide placement and attach securelyHold and maintain their shape throughout the dayRed FlagsLiner can be difficult to applyIf you’re after a more intense, eye-catching look, consider these dramatic falsies. The clustered fringe created an extra glamorous effect, more suited for a special occasion than everyday wear. Its magnetic liner had a thick consistency that made it challenging to get an even application along the lash line; however, after a little trial and error, we achieved an even line, and the lashes popped right on.While these did feel a bit thicker on the eye than others, they were still comfortable and came right off with remover, although the liner did require a bit more elbow grease.Lash Type:Synthetic |Features:Dramatic, comes in several styles |Reusable:Up to 60 timesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesBest Faux MinkLilly Lashes Click Magnetic Faux Mink False LashesPHOTO: People / Jhett Thompson$12 at AmazonStar QualitiesHeld their shape and curl all dayNearly undetectable when onLashes remove easilyRed FlagsApplicator is a bit flimsyLiner takes awhile to dryCompletely synthetic, these faux mink lashes easily mimic the quality you’d get from real mink lashes. While they were a bit more dramatic and long, they were still nearly undetectable when on. We loved how comfortable they felt and how nicely they held their shape, even after extended periods of wear. However, these fell a bit short when it came to the magnetic liner. We didn’t like how flimsy the eyeliner brush was, making application tricky, or how long it took the liner to dry.While the lashes themselves popped right off without pulling or tugging, the liner ended up a bit crumbly, getting into our eyes during the removal process and causing mild irritation.Lash Type:Faux mink |Features:Dramatic, four styles available |Reusable:Up to 50 timesBest Half StripArdell Magnetic Gel Liner and Lash SetPHOTO: People / Tamara Staples$6 at Amazon$7 at Walmart$16 at UltaStar QualitiesWorked with another brand’s magnetic linerShorter style looks and feels more naturalRed FlagsIncluded eyeliner dried outHalf-strip falsies offer a nice option for those who may be new to false lashes or anyone who just wants to give their fringe a small boost of volume. These lashes — which are much shorter than others we tested — did offer that effect while also feeling extremely comfortable. We couldn’t tell we were wearing them, even while blinking, which felt more like lash extensions than full-on falsies.The one major drawback? The magnetic liner that came with the lashes dried up upon opening, causing us to use another brand’s magnetic eyeliner to attach these lashes. However they still worked well, even with a different liner, which is a nice boon for those who may want to mix and match.Lash Type:Human hair |Features:Half-strip |Reusable:YesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesPHOTO: People / Tamara StaplesBest SetLanvier Magnetic Eyelashes and Eyeliner KitPHOTO: People / Tamara Staples$15 at AmazonStar QualitiesMagnets caught easilyFelt secure throughout dayFive reusable stylesRed FlagsMagnets tugged during removalA one-stop magnetic lash shop, this set comes with a magnetic liner, five different styles of lashes (all of which are reusable), and a convenient case with an included mirror.There are five magnets inset on the band of the full strip of lashes, which secured quickly and easily to the liner and stayed put throughout the day. Unlike some other products we tested, the magnets tugged on our skin ever so slightly during the removal process, although it wasn’t painful and the strip did still come off nicely.

What to Know About Magnetic Lashes

Eyeliner or Not

While all of the winning magnetic lashes that we tested were meant to be paired with an accompanying magnetic eyeliner, others on the market are meant to be used without. Choose based on your personal preference, suggests Bhatty. If you don’t feel comfortable using eyeliner or don’t like the look of it, opt for magnetic lashes that come with two strips that are sandwiched together on top and bottom, she says, although she does add that liner tends to make application easier for a full strip.

Lash Style

As with any false lash, it’s still important to consider what kind of overall look you’re trying to achieve. Magnetic lashes come in a variety of styles, ranging from more natural and subtle (like theMoxielash Classy Lash) to full-on glam and dramatic, like theGlamnetic Magnetic False Lashes. Again, this comes down to a matter of personal preference and exactly how you like your lashes to look. Just keep in mind that the more dramatic options will likely be and feel a bit heavier on your eyes.

Undetectable Magnets

Ideally, the magnets should be so small that they’re hardly visible, saysAndrew Sotomayor, a celebrity makeup artist who’s worked with Kerry Washington. “Something too delicate or thick likely can’t be reused as often, and one that’s too thick might feel heavy. Anything in the middle should be fine,” he explains.

To find the best sets of magnetic lashes, the PEOPLE Tested team researched dozens of formulas and selected 23 products for real-world testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Definitely, although you will want to remove them and clean them at night. You can use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean the band where the magnets are, or try Sotomayor’s trick and spritz them with an organic, unscented hand sanitizer and let them dry overnight.
