7 Ultimate Tips for Perfectly Curled Lashes (3 of 4)

Keep Your Eyes Open While Curling

This tip might feel a little scary at first, especially if you’re used to squeezing your eyelids shut when a curler is coming near, but keeping your eyes open allows for better placement and more control. When your eyes are open, you can more clearly see the lash line and ensure that the curly is sitting at the correct angle.

Use a Spoon as a Creative Backup Tool

If you ever find yourself without a lash curly, don’t fret. Your kitchen drawer may hold the solution. A metal spoon can work surprisingly well as a substitute. Hold the rounded part of the spoon against your eyelid with the edge resting at the base of your lashes. Then, use your thumb to gently press your lashes upward against the curve of the spoon. Hold for a few seconds before releasing. While it may take a little practice, this method can give you a natural appearing curl in a pinch.
