Bat a lash if you are still use eyelash curlers. Far from being archaic, eyelash curlers are still used by many, and recommended by beauty experts. Let’s talk about tips, tricks and the best eyelash curlers, dear readers.

Tips for curling eyelashes

For starters, never curl eyelashes after applying mascara — this can cause eyelash breakage.

Second, heated or unheated eyelash curlers… what’s your preference? Just as using a curling iron helps the hair on your head hold curl, a heated eyelash curler is ideal for creating a lasting lash curl. Of course, picking the correct product is essential, which is why I’ve included my top four lash curlers below.

Another tip: Just as you wash and condition your hair before styling it, lashes should be prepped as well. Make sure lashes are clean by using a gentle eye makeup remover to remove any makeup or debris. (Read my list of the best eye makeup removers here.)

When curling lashes, remember to apply gentle pressure… don’t clamp down for the kill!

Also, buy a good curler which typically means avoiding the ultra cheap ones.

Finally, if using a lash curler with pads, remember pads can and should be replaced every several months so that you do not harm your lashes.
