Beauty Must-Have: The Eyelash Curler

October 2nd, 2008 // Beauty

How to use best eyelash curler : With makeup brushes, sponges, tweezers, and other beauty tools that take up space, the eyelash curler is easily deemed unnecessary, or even goes completely forgotten. I didn’t even realize I owned an unlash curler until I was cleaning out my beauty closet and found one, newly wrapped, made by Lancome.

Weeks later, I’m realizing what a splendid difference using an eyelash curler makes. Even, *gasp*, making me pass on wearing faux lashes in honor of sporting my own curled, blackened eyelashes. A few pumps of the eyelash curler and a couple coats of mascara and I’m good to go. Using an eyelash curler has even made mediocre mascaras look ten times better for me.

How to Use an Eyelash Curler

  1. Some like to heat the eyelash curler briefly with a blow dryer for heat reinforcement. I skip this step. I do, however, use the eyelash curler on bare eyelashes to avoid pulling hairs or gunking up the tool with eyeliner/mascara.
  2. Start at the base of your eyelashes and squeeze to create a curl. For a well-rounded curl, pump (squeeze) your eyelash curler as you move up the length of your eyelashes.
  3. Apply 1-3 coats of your favorite mascara and you’re done.

It also helps to use a quality eyelash curler. Mine is by Lancome, but popular vote says Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler is the best.

Is this tool in your makeup bag?

They really make a difference, but how often am I supposed to replace the pads?
