Colored magnetic eyeliner is exactly what it sounds like: a waterproof eyeliner that uses magnetic technology to hold false lashes in place, without the need for adhesive. Instead of applying glue to your lash band, you apply the magnetic eyeliner to your lash line like a regular liner, and then your magnetic lashes adhere to it magnetically. The application process is straightforward, and magnetic lashes are reusable—which means less waste compared to disposable lash options.

What Makes Colored Magnetic Eyeliner Different?
Traditional false lash glue can be sticky and messy. Magnetic eyeliner offers an alternative application method. The liner contains iron oxide, which is used in cosmetic products. When you apply the liner to your upper lash line, it creates a magnetic surface that your lashes can adhere to.
The eyeliner is also colored, so it functions as both eyeliner and a base for magnetic lashes. You get the look of a defined lash line plus the magnetic hold—all in one product.
If you're interested in magnetic lashes, Victori'Ahh's Vanity carries a range of magnetic lashes designed to pair with magnetic eyeliner, so you can find styles that match your preference.
How to Apply Colored Magnetic Eyeliner and Lashes
The application process is straightforward. Here's the step-by-step breakdown.
Step 1: Start with a clean, dry eyelid.
Wash your hands and make sure your eye area is clean and completely dry. Any moisture or oil on your lid may interfere with the magnetic hold. If your eyelids tend to get oily, you may want to use an eyeshadow primer before application.
Step 2: Apply the colored magnetic eyeliner.
Using the felt-tip applicator (most magnetic liners come with one), draw a thin, steady line along your upper lash line. Start from the inner corner and work outward. You want a smooth, even line—similar to applying regular eyeliner. A thicker and more precise line may help with lash adherence. You can apply a second coat if you prefer a darker or more defined line.
Step 3: Let the liner dry for 30 seconds.
Wait a few seconds for the liner to set. You may notice the liner darkening slightly as it sets.
Step 4: Pick up your magnetic lashes.
Hold your false lash by the outer corner (the thicker end) and position it above your lash line. You don't need to touch the underside of the lash band—just hold it by the lash itself or the outer corner.
Step 5: Lower the lash onto the eyeliner.
Gently lower the lash toward the eyeliner line. The lash should adhere to the magnetic surface. If it doesn't adhere immediately, lift it slightly and try repositioning it. Sometimes moving it slightly left or right changes the result.

Once the lash is on, check that it's aligned with your natural lash line and sits evenly across your eye. If it feels loose on one end, gently press down on that side.
What You Need to Know About Wear Time and Care
Colored magnetic eyeliner is formulated as a waterproof product. The waterproof finish also makes it easier to remove at the end of the day.
To remove your lashes, simply peel them gently away from the outer corner. After removal, you can wipe the excess liner off your lash line with makeup remover, just like you would with regular eyeliner.
One of the features of magnetic lashes paired with colored magnetic eyeliner is that your lashes are reusable. Unlike traditional glue-on lashes, magnetic lashes can be worn multiple times. Store them in a clean, dry place when you're not wearing them.
Tips for Application
Keep your liner fresh. Once a colored magnetic eyeliner bottle is open, use it regularly. If you notice the liner becoming thick or harder to apply, it may be time for a new bottle.
Use with compatible products. Use your magnetic eyeliner only with magnetic lashes that are designed to work with it. Traditional false lashes are not designed for magnetic eyeliner application.
Practice with application. Your first few applications may feel unfamiliar, but most people become comfortable with the process after a few tries. Steady hands and allowing the liner to set as directed can help with the application process.
If your eyelids are very oily. An eyeshadow primer or light powder may help with application. Use a light hand to avoid product buildup.
Check the lash band compatibility. Before you purchase magnetic lashes, make sure they are designed specifically for magnetic eyeliner. You'll see this noted on the product page. Not all false lashes have magnetic bands.
