Three day yuntif. For a makeup lover like myself, cue the 😱 emoji. I love yuntif! But keeping on mascara for three days is quite daunting.
In my younger, pre-baby days, keeping makeup on for so long was a challenge I was amenable to tackle. But I now cherish sleep to the point that I just want to bury my face into a pillow and pass out after a 2 am feeding.
I still, however, want to go out in public with my dignity intact.
A few years back I heard of magnetized false lashes. The lashes attach with magnets, so they can be applied and removed and reapplied on Shabbos. As I am armed with Shabbos makeup, mascara is the only chink in my armor.
So this past Shabbos I gave it a trial run. I purchased a set by Lash’d Up on Amazon called "I Woke Up This Way," and after a few tries, managed to somewhat successfully apply them. They aren’t too dramatic - my mascara is usually more over the top - and with Shabbos eyeliner I was able to make it look more blended with the lash line.
Because they are magnetized, you can’t use metal tweezers to get them on. I think I will look for plastic ones to assist.
So after a bleary night with baby, I was able to take my eyes from bare to smoky on Shabbos, with lashes!
The Messiah cometh!

Goodbye, cruel world!
Did you ask a Rav about using magnetic lashes?
Is there any reason why magnetic lashes wouldn't be allowed? If you find it problematic you could ask your rav. Although the set that I got has been discontinued and it is difficult to find one now like it.
