So you might be wondering, what the heck is the difference between magnetic eyeliner and adhesive eyeliner besides the obvious. Like clearly, one is magnetic and one is adhesive but what's the real difference when it comes to application and longevity?

Bali Lash Adhesive Eyeliner is the new kid on the block these days. What is all the hype about? I thought magnetic eyeliner was the thing?

We know, we know, you have tons of questions and we have tons of answers. We're going to break down the pros and cons of both, so let's dive right in!

First thing's first...

What is Magnetic Eyeliner?

Magnetic eyeliner is a thicker version of liquid eyeliner that contains iron oxides which give it the magnetic capability. This eyeliner is made for use only with magnetic lashes, it is re-stickable unlike glue. The iron oxides in the eyeliner grasp the magnet pieces on the lashes to hold the lash to your eyelid. It is marked safe by the FDA for use on the eye area, so long as you don't get the eyeliner flakes in your eye.

What is Adhesive Eyeliner?

Adhesive eyeliner is made with a Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer which creates a pressure sensitive adhesive. This is different from glue in that it forms a bond when light pressure is applied to its surface. Pressure sensitive adhesives are viscous and elastic, which allows you to re-stick your lash on should you improperly place it.

Switching from magnetic eyeliner to adhesive eyeliner may sound intimidating, but we promise you it's easier than ever. Bali Lash's revolutionary formula cuts application drying time by 90% - so you can finally just line, apply lashes, and go. I know, I know you're thinking "if it ain't broke don't fix it." We promise you'll be so much happier you made the switch.
