For many, false eyelashes are simply uncomfortable at the start.
Even the lightest fake lashes will feel heavy to newbies.
However, the actual weight of the magnetic lashes doesn’t differ a lot from the traditional fake lashes that you glue on. The magnetic strips used are very thin and light.
Some traditional dramatic fake lashes that are thick, long, and fluffy might even be heavier than the thinner magnetic lashes in the market.
