WATCH: These magnetic eyelashes will help you get ready for the Oscars

A little lipstick and a great pair of lashes can truly take a look a long way.

When it comes to lip picks, there are everything from matte and creamy to lustrous and longlasting -- and some of these picks have it all.

If, like many people, you aren't sure where to start, "GMA" sent Melissa Louie Young who is a mortgage broker and mother to a 16-month-old daughter as well, as Abigail Smith who is a special needs fitness instructor, four longwear lip colors in multiple shades at variety price points for them to test.

Editor's Picks

Spoiler alert: Rihanna's Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint was the top pick for both women.

There was also a glam getaway magnetic eyelash try-on with ABC News' technology and consumer correspondent Becky Worley as well as some of her mom friends Millie, Ladawn and Nicole.

Ahead, check out a special Oscars edition of great lip picks that truly stood out amongst many others and a few hot takes on magnetic eyelashes.

MAGNETIC FAUX EYELASHES

The concept behind magnetic eyelashes involves applying a liner that has trace metal elements in it. From there, you can easily snap the faux lashes to the metallic liner for an instant beauty boost to your eyes.

Worley and others tried an assortment of lashes ranging from $4 to $15 a pair, and after applying them, they were left saying, "Oh my gosh, it looks so good" and "I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new me."

The group tested the magnetic eyelashes for a full day of adventures ranging from an open top bus tour of foggy San Francisco where they held up well for the most part. It wasn't until the Golden Gate Bridge and the hot tub where the eyelashes began to fall off.

However, after a glammed-up day with lots of laughter, wind and an underwater dunk, it was concluded that the magnetic eyelashes of all varieties performed pretty darn well.

Ahead, check out some great picks for Hollywood-ready eyelashes.
