7 Ultimate Tips for Perfectly Curled Lashes

Curling your lashes can make a surprising difference in your overall makeup look. It lifts your eyes, enhances your mascara and makes your lashes look longer and more voluminous. While it may seem like a small detail, curling your lashes the right way can take your makeup game to the next level. Here are 7 timeless tips that can help you curl your lashes like a true pro.

Curl Your Lashes After the Rest of Your Makeup

Many people are tempted to curl their lashes at the beginning of their routine, but doing it too early can actually undo your hard work. The best time to curl your lashes is after you’ve applied all your eye makeup, like eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara. Mascara tends to stiffen and set the lashes, making them even more responsive to curling and the shape lasts longer throughout the day. Once your mascara is fully dry, place your lash curler at the base of your lashes, squeeze gently and hold for about five seconds. For an extra lift, repeat this step in the middle of your lashes and again at the tip. This tiered method creates a natural-looking curve rather than a hard bend.
