Eyelash Curler recommendations please

[ChishandFips33]

Mine of at least 15yrs!! have finally bitten the dust

Is it worth spending a little extra or pick up some Boots cheapies?

What brands do you recommend?

[ChishandFips33]

...my fear, and reason why I've kept my old ones so long is that new ones will chop off my lashes at the root!!! irrational I know

I bought a pair of the Shu Umeura curlers, they are a million times better than the others I've bought to try and replace my beloved ancient BodyShop ones (including the newer BS ones)

DD has a pair of Tarte curlers (came as part of a set) she prefers the Tarte to the SU.

No snagging of my elderly eyelids or snapping my eyelashes, I'm pleased to say.

Off to google those - thanks!

70, I am umming and ahhing on weather to get some of those? I have ridiculously short lashes and heard they are fabulous??

[YakiUdonYumYum]

creamcheese I've got short straight lashes and the Shu Uemera ones give me a good curl.

Does the curl last once the mascara is on? My lashes seem to drop with the weight of the mascara.

[YakiUdonYumYum]

Yes the curl stays with mascara on (for a few hous at least, but maybe that's just my lashes refuse to stay curled - I have resolutely straight hair).

I have some heated number 7 ones. They're great, and it pretty much impossible to burn my eye lid with it

Laura Mercier ones. Almost impossible to shut your eye in!
