How to Use an Eyelash Curler
Do you really need a step-by-step guide for how to use an eyelash curler? Probably not, but there are a few tricks to crimping eyelashes without, uh...mistakes! Here we go:
- Before starting your eyelash curling, it’s a good idea to clean the crimper, bars and
rubber with a damp cotton pad. - Insert you index finger and thumb into the holes and open the ‘jaws’ of the curler.
- Looking in the mirror, tilt your head up slightly and look downward. Take the opened eyelash curler and put it over your eyelashes, being careful not to get so close to the base of the eyelashes you will pull them.
- Gently press the curler closed, holding it firmly in place for several seconds, then squeeze it gently a couple of times before opening.
- Open the crimper and remove from the eyelashes.
Should you put mascara on before or after curling your lashes? The jury seems out on that one, it may depend upon the types of eyelash curlers you use. If you do choose to do it afterwards, please be sure to wipe the crimper each time before you use it.
Learning how to curl eyelashes is pretty simple, as any teenager can tell you! The hardest part is finding the eyelash curler that works best for you!
