Why Trimming Magnetic Lashes May Be Necessary & How to Do It
Trimming your magnetic lashes is the 2nd step in the lash application process.
Haven’t learned about the first step: measuring your lashes? No problem! Check out this article (click here) that covers the basics of how to measure your lashes successfully!
Once you have successfully “measured” your lashes 👀…
...and now know how wide the lashes need to be to fit your eye size and shape, it is time to trim your lashes ✂️!
Remember, you only need to trim your lashes if you determine the width of the lashes are too big out of the box. ✅🎁
If trimming your lashes seems like a crazy thing to do to such a pretty and delicate product 💞 right after buying them, then consider this…
We all have different eye shapes and sizes. So, there is NO WAY all lash styles will perfectly fit everyone's eyes the same without some adjustment to the lash itself.
In fact, many of our customers like to trim their lashes to get the perfect fit and look once they know trimming is an option! 💯
And, yes, the first time you trim your brand new lashes it can be a little scary. 😟
But, don’t worry…we’ve got your back on how to do it below. 👇
If you decide to trim your lashes because they’re too big for your eyes or you simply prefer a smaller lash, you should start by cutting off the first magnet 🧲 of the total 10 magnets from the outer edge of the lashes.

We highly recommend purchasing our Lash Trimmer ✂️ which was specially designed to trim our magnetic lashes; however, you can get away with using a small pair of makeup scissors.
When you make the cut, make sure that you’re trimming the lash right next to the outside edge of the magnet that will remain on the lash band you’ll ultimately wear!
If you cut in between the two magnets, it will leave a small edge on the outside of the lash band that may give the impression that the lashes are coming off at the corners. 😩
Once, you’ve successfully cut off the first magnet, repeat the first step of measuring the shortened lash against your eye line.🔁
If you decide the lash is still too wide, repeat the process of trimming off the next magnet from the outer edge of the lash, which should leave 8 magnets intact.
You can keep trimming another magnet off one by one until you feel comfortable with the lash width. 🥰
And, don't worry...you don't have to do this every time you put your lashes on. Just the first time!
Also, once you've figured out how many magnets to trim off, you’ll always have this knowledge for any future pair of lashes you buy...as long as it is the same style of lash!
So, you’ll just get your 2nd, 3rd or, hopefully, 100th pair of lashes and simply know EXACTLY where to cut!
By then, you’ll be a pro! 💯
Speaking of being a pro, there is one other awesome trimming tip I want to share with you…
Our customer Christina Goldsmith likes to trim the magnetic lashes into smaller sections and then apply them one by one. She reports that this process helps the lashes stay on far longer and actually improves the overall lash look! 🥳
Crazy! Right?🤩
Here is a quick video of Christina applying the lashes using this method.
Of course, you DO NOT have to trim your lashes into sections, but it is another fun option to experiment with as you get better and better at applying your magnetic lashes!
