- Curling Before Mascara
- Advantages: As mentioned earlier, it's easier to manipulate the lashes when they're clean, and the curl tends to set better, resulting in a longer-lasting lift. This method also allows for a more natural-looking curl and an even application of mascara, enhancing the overall lash appearance.
- Disadvantages: In some cases, especially with certain types of mascaras or if you have very straight lashes, the curl might not hold as well throughout the day, and the lashes could fall flat.
- Curling After Mascara
- Advantages: It can provide an extra boost of curl for lashes that have a tendency to fall flat quickly. This approach is also good for those who want to create a more dramatic or customized curl, as you can reshape the lashes after the mascara has been applied.
- Disadvantages: There is a higher risk of damaging the lashes, as the mascara can make them stiffer and more prone to breakage. It's also more difficult to achieve a natural-looking curl at this stage, and there's a greater chance of smudging or messing up the mascara application.
