There are several methods to curl your eyelashes but I truly believe the simplest and most effective
way is by using an eyelash curler, if you have actually got one, but if not rush and get yours. Well, I
know some of you are a little scared a mechanical system around your eyes, you of course don’t want
to see those super long eyelashes break or be torn. Using an eyelash curler not properly could also
just pull the lashes out and not curling them.
There is another good news : you will only curl your upper eyelashes ! Okay, you’re still scared,
sorry…
Here is my step by step path to achieve the perfect eyelashes, I tried to make it as simple as possible,
I hope you will enjoy this little 7 steps guide. Before we start you just need :
eyelash curler,
hairdryer,
rubbing alcohol,
cotton balls,
makeup : eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara for the best
effect, of course it’s optional, but let’s do it like the pros !
1. Check that everything is clean: your eyelash curler AND
your eyelashes. If you are already wearing mascara, you may
use a makeup remover first. Your curler should be clean too,
use alcohol on it with cotton balls to make sure nothing could
hurt your eyes or make the process fail.
2. Apply your makeup. It could be optional, but to get the
sexiest eyes, why not put some eye shadow and eyeliner.
DON’T apply mascara now !
3. Check that your eyelashes are clean and dry, no makeup
on them.
4. Take your eyelash curler and heat it with your hairdryer for
about 5 seconds. It shouldn’t be too hot, so touch the metal
and see if that doesn’t burn.
5. It’s time to curl ! Don’t worry, everything is gonna be
alright. It looks like scissors but it will not cut your lashes.
Bring the curler as close to the eyelashes roots as possible,
you want to curl the whole lashes length. The top metal band
of the curler should cover your eyelid. Squeeze the handles
and the bottom silicon pad will curl the lashes, hold a few
seconds. Don’t pull out the curler before opening it again,
just stop squeezing the handles. (You may want to repeat the
process at about half the length and at the end of lashes for
more curl.)
6. Apply mascara now. This step really must be done after
your curl your eyelashes. If done before, the mascara could
dry and stick on the curler, and then your eyelashes could be
torn from their roots… not great. Mascara also helps to lock
the curl.
7. Eyelashes curl done ! You can also use an eyelash comb if
you want, but at this point you already have your best eyes.
I could add a step 8 : you have 2 eyes, so repeat the
process, but I think you thought about that. When I think
about it, it could be a cool emo look on only one eye.
