How to use eyelash curlers correctly
There are so many questions when it comes to eyelash curlers and how to use them. You may be wondering how long to hold lash curlers on your lashes for? Or questioning if eyelash curlers are bad for your lashes? Our quick and easy step by step below will help you with what to do and what to avoid to ensure the best results.
- In-front of a mirror, tilt your head slightly and rest your eyelashes between the cushioned eyelash curler clamp.
Gently squeeze the clamp shut for around 5 seconds before pumping the curlers three to four times to form a curl. Don’t squeeze the clamp too hard or it will cause damage to your lashes. This process should be entirely painless. Repeat the same procedure on the tips of your eyelashes for an extended curl and extra fluttery, feathery lashes.
Top Tip: Some people also use a hairdryer to warm up their eyelash curlers to really make that curl holdfast. This method works a little bit like your hair curling tong, but on your lashes, so be super careful when using heated tools around your delicate eye area.
How to maintain your eyelash curlers
As is the case with any other beauty tool, maintenance is key. The pads on your eyelash curlers need changing regularly, as they can attract dirt and eye makeup residue. Over time, as the pads wear out, you’ll find your eyelash curlers are no longer curling as nicely as they once did. You can buy replacement pads for some lash curlers, or you may need to replace your lash curlers entirely if the pads aren’t interchangeable.
Are eyelash curlers bad for your lashes?
Lash curlers are not typically damaging when used correctly. Always use your eyelash curlers before applying your mascara. This is because mascara can stick to the curler which may cause your lashes to become brittle, get stuck or pulled.
