Who Uses an Eyelash Curler?

Every womans hand should be raised! This tool, as barbaric as it looks, hasn’t stuck around since the late 1920’s for nothing. It really does what it promises; to make your eyes look refreshed, wider and brighter by curling the lashes up and creating the illusion of longer looking lashes.

First, know that you curl your lashes before applying mascara. Once you’ve curled them (always follow manufacturer instructions), apply mascara from root to tips wiggling the mascara wand as you go up and through. Apply a second coat before it dries to eliminate the chance of clumps. If you curl lashes after mascara, it only presses your lashes to stick together and clump.

There are a variety of curlers (metal, plastic and heated) ones out there, so buy what you are comfortable with and don’t be intimidated by the way it looks. It’s quick, effortless and the results will turn you into an instant fan.
