The benefit of using an Eyelash Curler

If you would like to curl your straight lashes, then an eyelash curler is exactly what you need. A lash curler is a device used to curl lashes, and it’s a great alternative to wearing false lashes. It can be purchased in a cosmetic store, beauty supply store, as well as the local grocery store. By curling your lashes, your eyes will be more inviting because they’ll have a wider, brighter appearance. There are two types of curlers: the conventional metal kind and the newer heated lash curler.

The metal lash curler has two looped handles with the curler placed on the opposite end. The curler includes replaceable rubber pads to prevent lash breakage while curling. It’s sturdier than the plastic curlers, and cost about the same. The only drawback is that it can begin to rust if doused in water.

Use the curler by first opening the lash curler, and position it around the roots of your mascara-free lashes. Squeeze the handles together to close the curler and start the curling process. Be very careful not to pinch your skin during this process; if you do then readjust the curler. The curler should be held in the closed position for 15 to 30 seconds, and as you move upwards, open and close the curler a few times to achieve that lasting curl. Follow these steps on the other eye as well.

The heated eyelash curler is very compact, and is easier to use than a traditional eyelash curler. One end contains a small heated comb that is covered with a cap when not in use, and the other end is used for handling. The device is battery-operated, but is very easy and safe to use. It heats up in less than 20 seconds, and there’s no pinch involved.

When using it for the first time, turn the device on and allow it to warm up for 15-20 seconds. Place the heated comb underneath your mascara-free lashes, and slowly lift upward and outward to the tip to create a curl effect. To get a more desired curl, you can pause for a few seconds before bringing the curler outwards to release it. Repeat this step across the entire length of the lash line to complete the look.

Tips for using an eyelash curler

1. Apply your eye makeup first, except mascara. Mascara will damage your rubber pad or device over time. Apply mascara afterwards for a nice hold.
2. For greater performance, heat the traditional lash curler with a blow dryer for no more than five seconds prior to use.
Confirm that the curler is comfortable to the touch before using to prevent burning your eyelid or breaking your lashes.
