With an eyelash curler, beautifully curled lashes are guaranteed. We’ll tell you how to best use the popular beauty tool and how to create a wow effect with your eyelashes.
Do you ever wonder how you can look so much fresher and more awake in a matter of seconds – as soon as you optically open your eyes with mascara? At least that’s how it is for us. But not only our favorite mascara, but above all the use of an eyelash curler can ensure that the eyelashes (and our radiance) get really swing. So that you and your eyelash curler become a real dream couple, we took a look around and put together the best eyelash curlers, but also important tips and tricks.
Eyelash curler: Look into my eyes, little one
Long, curved eyelashes – probably every woman dreams of this. They are not given to everyone. But that is no reason to despair. Whether with an eyelash serum, a good mascara or even with an eyelash curler, you can get the best out of what you have without having to run straight to the beauty salon. With the eyelash curler there are primarily two possibilities: the grip to a conventional eyelash curler or the choice of a heatable eyelash curler. What do you prefer?
Which is the best eyelash curler?
Whether electric or classic is a matter of taste. Because even in terms of price, there are already so big differences between the non-heatable ones that there are again no significant differences between the two variants. There is really only one thing you can do wrong: don’t have an eyelash curler at all.
The classic remains unbeaten
Most people will know the classic eyelash curler. It looks a bit like the mixture of a pair of pliers and scissors. Between two pads the eyelashes are bent by hand; with the electric version of the eyelash curler you push a kind of regulator upwards, with the help of the heat the eyelashes bend automatically.
So while the classic is clamped between thumb and index finger like a pair of scissors, the electric eyelash curlers are usually shaped like a pencil. As said before: a pure matter of taste. Both versions fit well in the hand.
It’s that easy
The application of a manual eyelash curler is almost child’s play. But you should follow these five tips:
- An eyelash curler is always used BEFORE applying the mascara. The mascara becomes too hard and could break. And even the best eyelash curler cannot bend broken eyelashes.
- Concentrate when applying the eyelash curler so that you do not accidentally pinch your eyelid.
- Bring the eyelash curler to the eye and close the pads; hold the eyelash curler closed for a few seconds (about 30 seconds) to get a good result.
- In order to fix the result and to have something of the beautiful curl of the lashes for as long as possible, it is best to apply mascara as soon as possible. You can use conventional colored mascara or a colorless version for a natural look, which only fixes the lashes. You can also tint your lashes (have them tinted), then the colorless mascara is sufficient for an optimal result.
- Clean the eyelash curler and especially the pads regularly with a damp cloth and replace the pads after a few weeks. On the sensitive mucous membranes of our eyes we cannot use unnecessary bacteria and / or other impurities.
Tip: Warm the eyelash curler slightly with a hair dryer. But make sure that the eyelash curler does not get too hot, otherwise there is a risk of burns and unnecessary damage to the lashes. Similar to curls, which you get into the hair with heat and curlers or a curling iron, etc., the heat also supports the curling of the lashes.
Do the eyelashes break with an eyelash curler?
Basically the use of an eyelash curler is harmless for your lashes. You just have to make sure that you use them before applying mascara. If you have very fine eyelashes, it can still happen that they get a little strained.
Treat yourself to a serum or some castor oil to care for your lashes and make them more resistant and stronger. With this you should be on the safe side and nothing should stand in the way of your eyelash dream. And now: Have fun strumming your eyelashes.
