Long, perfectly curled eyelashes are a dream for many. It is possible to get the perfect eyelashes with the help of a good eyelash curler and some good advice. Some people think that curling their eyelashes with an eyelash curler looks scary. So why should you try it?

The truth is that straight eyelashes are perceived as much shorter than they are, so curling your eyelashes makes them look longer. Curled lashes also make a big difference to the overall look of your face. It's like your eyes are opening up and you look more awake. If you do it right, your beautiful eyelashes will help to make your eyes even more beautiful.

What should you consider before you start?

Choosing a good eyelash curler is important. With the right eyelash curler, you will avoid having angular lashes that break off. You can try out a few different curlers and see what suits you. Some are straighter, and can make it easier to reach for those with slightly deeper-set eyes. It is also important that the rubber part on your eyelash curler is intact and clean. It is there to protect your lashes. It is easy to replace the rubber part when it starts to wear out. Clean it often to remove bacteria.

Never curl your eyelashes if you have already put on mascara. It is better to wait with mascara until you have finished curling your lashes. The mascara wraps around the lashes like a shell. You therefore risk breaking them if you curl them afterwards. Clean your eyelashes thoroughly before you start. You can also heat your eyelash curler before you start. Just as a hot curling iron helps your hair keep its shape, it helps your lashes keep their shape and curl more easily. You can heat it under hot water. A hairdryer is also fine to use, but then you have to make sure that the eyelash curler does not get too hot so that you burn yourself or your lashes.

How do you curl your eyelashes?

Take one row of lashes at a time. Look down before placing the eyelash curler as close to the roots of the lashes as you can. Press lightly. Move the eyelash curler a few millimeters and repeat several times until you reach the end of the lashes. If you only curl once, you will get an angular curl straight up. It will not look very nice and when you then apply mascara, they will easily weigh down again.

When you curl your lashes several times, you get a round, soft and beautiful curl instead. Curling your lashes 3 or 4 times is enough. How often can you curl your lashes? You can actually curl your lashes as many times as you want. As soon as you feel satisfied with your lash line, you can apply mascara.

How do you make your lashes last all day?

A simple tip to make your lashes last a little longer than usual is to use waterproof mascara. If you don't like using waterproof mascara or if you have another favorite, a thin layer is enough. You can then apply your regular mascara on top of that. Remember to wash off your waterproof mascara with an oil-based cleanser so you don't wear your lashes out unnecessarily.

With the right tools and the right products, you will get those perfect eyelashes. Would you rather do a lash or brow lift ? See products for that. We also recommend tinting your eyelashes and eyebrows for a new look.
