I do not have thick, long eyelashes

so what? =)

Wikipedia said William Joseph Beldue was the American inventor of the eyelash curler.

and... MASCARA =] a cosmetic commonly used to enhance the eyes, darken, thicken, lengthen, and/or define the eyelashes.

A Curling Lashes Tutorial taught me that it can help to make my eyes to appear wider, brighter, longer, and more natural.

Gently position the lash curler on the tips of your lashes and repeat the movement until your desired look is achieved.




and now I know, mascara is applied after your lashes are curled to prevent serious breakage. (but those PROs always do both before and after)

Here come the steps! Watch out! =)
.
  • STEP 1- Cleanse The Eyelash Curler

Naturally the curler should always be disinfected before using to prevent bacteria from entering the eye and causing irritation.

  • STEP 2- Heat The Curler

If you desire long lasting curled lashes, then heat your curler. This will also make it easier to curl your lashes. Try using a hairdryer or hot water to heat the eyelash curler for ten seconds.

CAUTION: When blowing air on your lash curler or putting it in hot water - make sure that it is not too hot before using!

  • STEP 3- The Lash Curler

Position your eyelash curler around your eyelashes - make sure that your upper lashes are between the edge of the curler.

  • STEP 4- Squeeze The Curler

Squeeze the edges of the curler carefully and hold for ten seconds. Repeat if necessary. Make sure that the curler is fully open before removing it.

  • Step 5- Apply Mascara

Look down and stroke lashes upwards with the tip of your brush. Do not overload the wand with mascara. Apply desired coat - this will depend on what you are trying to achieve.

  • STEP 6- Comb Your Lashes

To give your lashes a more natural look and remove any excess mascara, you should comb your lashes.

USEFUL TIPS

  1. Clean your lashes before curling them
  2. To avoid pinching your eyelid, do not close the eyelash curler too close to the base of the lash
  3. Instead of a plastic eyelash curler - choose a metal or heated lash curler
  4. Use a hairdryer or hot water to heat your eyelash curler
  5. Always apply mascara after curling the lashes
  6. Curl the bottom lashes if you want to
  7. Be sure to replace the pads on the curler every three months
  8. Disinfect the eyelash curler before using
  9. Dip a cotton swab in alcohol or eye makeup remover to clean your eyelash curler


The bad news is that I do not even have a eyelashes curler. Everytime I shop in Guardian I saw some of the curler but do not even know which one to buy. duh I don't know how to buy lol buy me one now!




Go fab your eyes! yo yo

Hey Joo Li!

I just came across ur blog, if you see this, I recommend you to buy from DAISO. Because it's only RM5.

I bought an eyelash curler the other day at Watsons. It was RM9.90. Annd when I got back, THE EYELASH CURLER HAD NO SPRING!

Fyi, it's important to have a spring, or else damn mafan to curl, keep injuring urself. I feel like buying a new one from Daiso as they have more selections, but I already paid RM9.90 for the Watson one so have to bear with it =.=

Hope this message isn't too late :x
