Celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg, who has worn magnetic lashes during an entire workout without them falling off, loves these ones from Ardell. "Once you get the hang of it they are easier to apply than false lashes, but it does have a learning curve," she says. "You have to make sure you get them right on the lashline.

This set looks fluttery and lush, and lasts up to 15 wears. Not a pro with liquid liner? As they say, practice makes perfect; try lightly lining your eye with a regular liner first as a guide.
