7 Ultimate Tips for Perfectly Curled Lashes (2 of 4)

Heat Your Lash Curler for a Long Lasting Curl

If your lashes tend to fall flat quickly, this trick can change the game. Use a blow dry to warm up your metal eyelash curler for just a few seconds, no more than about five to seven seconds. Always test the temperature on your wrist first to make sure it’s not too hot. The heat helps mold the lashes into a curl that holds shape much longer, just like a curling iron would for your hair.

Angle the Curler Slightly to Enhance Shape

When curling your lashes, positioning matters a lot. Instead of holding your lash curly straight, tilt it slightly upward and outward as you clamp. This angle helps mimic the natural arc of your eye, giving your lashes a more lifted and eye-opening effect. Start by placing the curler at the base of your lashes, close to the lash line without pinching your skin. As you clamp down, gently tilt the curly upward and hold. You can repeat this process up the length of the lashes to create a soft and gradual curl. This approach avoids creating a stiff or overly dramatic bend and will instead give a feminine and fluttery shape.
