The eyelash curler is one of the most underrated tools in your makeup bag. Used correctly, it gives an instant lift and opens up your eyes in seconds. Here's everything you need to know to get started.
How does it work?
The eyelash curler clamps onto your upper lashes and creates an upward lift using gentle pressure. Position the curler as close to the lash root as possible, squeeze carefully for five to ten seconds, and repeat along the length of your lashes towards the tips. The result is a classic curl that makes your lashes look longer and more defined — the perfect preparation before mascara.
Dos and don'ts
Always curl your lashes before applying mascara, never after. Mascara sitting on your lashes when you clamp the curler can cause them to snap. If you've already applied mascara, remove it carefully and start again.
Clean your curler regularly. Oils and residue collect in the pads, and bacteria can build up if it's not kept clean.
Replace the pads when they wear out. Worn pads create uneven pressure and can damage your lashes.
Condition your lashes with Xlash Eyelash Serum as part of your evening routine. Strong, well-nourished lashes cope with curling much better and deliver a better result.
Choose the right curler for your eye shape
Your eye shape matters when choosing a curler. Almond-shaped eyes need a curler with a wider radius to catch all the lashes. Round and larger eyes work better with a curler with a deeper curve to avoid pinching in the centre.
Our Eyelash Curler has velvety-soft grips and a wide radius that suits most eye shapes, giving you an even, natural lift every time.
With the right technique and the right tool, the eyelash curler is one of the quickest ways to lift your entire look.
