How to use eyelash curler

Using an eyelash curler correctly involves several steps. Here's a detailed guide:

1. Prepare Your Tools and Eyes
   • Select the Right Eyelash Curler: Choose an eyelash curler that suits the shape of your eye. There are different types of curlers available, such as those with a standard curve, a wider curve for larger eyes, or a more angled design for better reaching the outer lashes.
   • Clean Your Eyelashes: Make sure your eyelashes are clean and free of any mascara or other debris. If you have mascara on, remove it thoroughly and let your lashes dry completely before using the curler. This helps prevent clumping and damage to the lashes.
2. Position the Eyelash Curler
   • Open the Curler: Hold the eyelash curler in your dominant hand and gently open it by squeezing the handle.
   • Place at the Base of the Lashes: Lean your head slightly back and look down into a mirror. Position the curler as close to the base of your upper lashes as possible without pinching the eyelid. The pads of the curler should be parallel to your eyelid and completely cover the base of the lashes.
3. Start Curling
   • Squeeze Gently: Once the curler is in position, gently squeeze the handle to close the curler around your lashes. Apply a steady pressure and hold for about 5 to 10 seconds. The longer you hold, the more curled your lashes will be, but be careful not to hold too long as it may cause damage.
   • Move the Curler Up: After holding at the base, without releasing the pressure, slowly move the curler up along the length of your lashes in small increments. This helps create a natural curl from the base to the tip. You can stop and hold for a few seconds at different points along the lashes for a more defined curl.
4. Curl the Outer and Inner Lashes
   • Outer Lashes: To curl the outer lashes, which are often more difficult to reach, you may need to angle the curler slightly. Tilt the curler towards the outer corner of your eye and repeat the curling process, making sure to cover all the outer lashes.
   • Inner Lashes: For the inner lashes, you can either use a small, angled eyelash curler specifically designed for this area or carefully turn the regular curler sideways and position it as close to the inner corner as possible without touching the eye. Curl the inner lashes in the same way, holding and moving the curler gently.
5. Check and Adjust
   • Inspect Your Lashes: After curling both eyes, take a close look in the mirror to check if the curl is even and to your liking. If there are any lashes that didn't curl properly or if the curl seems too tight or loose in some areas, you can go back and make adjustments by repositioning the curler and applying a bit more pressure or holding for a shorter/longer time.
6. Finish with Mascara (Optional)
   • Apply Mascara: If you plan to wear mascara, it's best to apply it after curling your lashes. Mascara can help set the curl and make your lashes look even longer and fuller. Start from the base of the lashes and brush upwards in a zigzag motion to coat each lash evenly.
