7 Timeless Tips for Curling Your Lashes ...

Curling your lashes is nothing short of an art form, and mastering it can elevate your entire look. Since I've been wielding a mascara wand since I discovered my first zit (a rite of passage, right?), I've come across some pretty neat tricks. As 2024 rolls in, why not embrace the timeless art of lifting those lashes? Whether you're prepping for a night out or just want to add a touch of glam to your daily routine, these tips are your go-to guide.

So, let's dive in and talk about the absolute must-follow steps when it comes to choosing the right tools. Trust me, your old high school lash curler might not be cutting it anymore. It's like trying to juice an orange with a fork—you can do better! Investing in a high-quality lash curler can make a world of difference. Also, let’s snatch a moment to discuss the game-changing heated eyelash curler, which has been a major lifesaver for my stubbornly straight lashes. Seriously, it’s like giving your lashes a hot yoga session.

Another game-changer is learning how to properly position your lash curler for maximum effect. This is where most people go wrong, and no, it’s not just you! I used to be that person who positioned the curler all wrong, resulting in a weird bend that screamed 'I tried.' But with a bit of practice, or maybe a glass of wine, I nailed it. The secret is to start at the base and gradually work your way up, a bit like climbing a ladder. Mascara application also plays a significant role. If you think all you need to do is swipe it on and go, I hate to tell you this—it’s so much more complex.

In my quest for perfectly curled lashes, I stumbled upon something magical: serums! Yes, those little magic pots can do wonders for conditioning. Using a serum, especially one with nourishing ingredients, can transform your curling game. And while we’re on the subject, let’s not forget the importance of regular lash maintenance. Your lashes deserve as much attention as your hair, for they are the unsung heroes of facial glam.

So, get comfy, and let’s unravel more about essential tips like the role of consistency in your curling routine. Remember, persistence is key, and a little day-to-day practice does wonders. Also, my dear friends, let's talk hygiene—cleaning your tools regularly is as vital as remembering to take off your makeup before bed. We don’t want those lashes crying in a corner!

I promise by the end of this guide, you'll not only be a lash curator but can also spread the wisdom at your next brunch date. Let's turn that lash game up a notch, shall we?

1. Apply All of Your Makeup and Let It Dry

You shouldn't curl your lashes until all of your eye makeup is in place. You should apply your liner first, then your shadow, then your mascara. Once all of the products are completely dry and in no danger of smudging, you can move on to curling your lashes. Keep the curler closed on your lashes for about five seconds, then release it and repeat the process if you want extra volume.

2. Rotate the Angle of the Curler

Make sure that your eyelash curler is always parallel to your lashes. That means it should be used horizontally, not vertically. Once you have your curler wrapped around your eyelashes, you can rotate the angle of the curler in order to make your lashes curl in a more drastic manner. Just be careful not to rip at your lashes, because you don't want to end up pulling any of them out.

3. Heat Your Curler with a Blowdryer

If you want your lashes to stay curled for a longer amount of time, then you can heat your curler (slightly!) with a blowdryer before you use it. You need to be extra careful when attempting this technique, because you don't want to make it too hot and end up burning yourself. If you do, you could cause damage to your eyes or your beautiful lashes.

4. Keep Your Eyes Open

While you might feel more comfortable closing your eyes while you curl them, you should keep them open. For the best results, you should also make sure that your curler goes as close to the skin of your lid as it can without actually touching it. If you do, then it could be pretty painful, because you're skin isn't mean to be pulled like your lashes are.

5. Use a Spoon Instead

Don't fret if you left your eyelash curler out of reach. You can always use a makeshift curler, such as a spoon. After you take it out of your kitchen drawers and wash it to make sure it's clean, you can place the spoon against your lash line. Then you can use a combination of the spoon and your fingertips in order to curl the lashes just the way you want them.

6. Use Your Warm Hands

You don't need an eyelash curler, or even a spoon, to complete this technique. All you have to do is warm up your hands a bit by rubbing them together. Then you can pinch your eyelashes between your fingers, pushing them upwards. After a few seconds, they should remain in the position you want them in.

7. Buy Heating Lash Curlers

There's now a product on the market that will curl your lashes with heat. You move the tool in the same way that you'd apply mascara, so it's super easy to use. Plus, the heat will assure that your lashes stay curled for much longer than they normally would with an old-fashioned curler.

The look of your lashes can add beauty to your already beautiful eyes, so don't forget to take good care of them. Do you have any other tips for curling your lashes?
