Curly lashes not only add glamor to your eyes, but also liven up your overall makeup look. In order to keep your lashes curled, upturned and delicate throughout the day, you need to have the right makeup techniques and lash care to create perfect eyes. Here are the secrets to creating long, curly lashes to help you achieve your ideal eye makeup look!
1. Use an eyelash curler correctly
Many people may think that using an eyelash curler is simply a matter of curling your lashes, but improper use can lead to damaged or even broken lashes. To get the desired curling effect, follow the steps below:
- Hold the curler gently at the base of the upper lashes, avoiding excessive force.
- Hold the curler steady for a few seconds to maintain the curled shape of your lashes.
- Repeat a few times to ensure each lash gets an even curl.
2. Use of moving curlers
When using a curler, move the tool slowly and rhythmically to create a more natural and dramatic curl. Avoid moving quickly or forcefully to prevent damage to your lashes. Move the curler gently and press gently with each movement to ensure an even and long-lasting curl.
3. Use mascara to hold curl in place
Curled lashes need mascara to hold their shape and add volume at the same time. Choose a mascara that contains natural ingredients and is alcohol-free to avoid drying and breaking your lashes. Use an eyelash comb to gently comb through your lashes to remove any clumps and keep your lashes naturally curled.
4. Keep your curling iron clean
Be sure to clean the rubber pads of your eyelash curler after each use to prevent bacterial growth and lash infections. You can wipe it down with an alcohol cotton ball or a cleaner with anti-bacterial ingredients to ensure it stays clean and hygienic every time you use it.
Additional tip: Choosing the right eyelash curler
Different shapes and sizes of eyelash curlers suit different eye shapes and eyelash lengths. Choose an eyelash curler that suits the shape of your eyes to maximize the curling effect and create the most natural and desirable eyelash shape.
5. Use a waterproof mascara
Waterproof mascara has a longer-lasting hold and holds curled lashes in place without smudging. We recommend using waterproof mascara after curling your lashes to ensure your makeup stays perfect all day long. It is also recommended to use waterproof mascara with a lash serum to promote healthy lash growth.
6. Heated eyelash curler the right way
Using a heated eyelash curler can enhance the curling effect, but care needs to be taken to avoid overheating to prevent burning your lashes. Here’s how to use a heated eyelash curler safely:
- Submerge the curler in warm water for a few seconds and gently dry off any excess water.
- Alternatively, use a hair dryer to heat the curler at a low temperature to ensure it’s at the right temperature.
- Before using, test the curler with the back of your hand to make sure you don’t burn your lashes.
Additional tip: Use eyelash extensions or false lashes
If you’re after a more voluminous and dramatic lash effect, try eyelash extensions or false lashes. However, make sure you choose products of reliable quality and gentle materials to avoid harming your natural lashes. Also, learn how to properly remove false eyelashes to avoid damage to your lashes and eye skin.
Summary
Curly eyelashes can significantly enhance the charm of your eyes and make your overall makeup more attractive.
