Eyelash curler recommendations now that Shu aren't selling in the U.K.?

[NomDePlumeReloaded]

My Shu Uemura curlers have bitten the dust and I need to replace them. Ideally I'd rebuy but I can't because Shu have pulled out of the UK.

Shu weren't perfect, I could have done with them being slightly wider as the outer lashes sometimes didn't get picked up but overall they were good. I've tried a few others without success - Boots own (did nothing), Metier de Beaute (pad too soft), tweezerman (hinges too loose).

Anyone got recs for a replacement set? Ideally a pair that is as robust and gives as reliable a curl as Shu but is designed for a 'rounder' Western eye (therefore might get around the stray lash issue). I've seen Kevin Aucoin recommended and the Surratt ones. The Surratt pair are nearly £30 though, so I'm wary. I'd prefer to spend £20ish really. Thanks.

I really like Charlotte Tilsbery(sp) ones . In fact I changed from Shu to them.

Primark ones. Seriously.

Thanks. How robust is the pad in the CT ones? Can you buy replacement pads?

I got some from Muji which I found to be fine, though I haven't used many tbh. They came with a spare pad.

Primark?! It would never occur to me to buy anything from there, ours is brimming with teens, has queues for days and looks like a jumble sale. Primark isn't a name that springs to mind where s&b stuff is concerned.

I know, I was sniffy too but they are fantastic. And a quid!

They also come with replacement pads.

What happened to shu uemera ? Oh nooo

Uemura

Seconding primary. Couldn't find mine, borrowed my teenage daughter's ones, and was converted.

Rose gold too

I got a free set included with last month's glamour mag and they are fantastic! Can't remember the make off the top of my head

£1?! Maybe it's worth a go then before shelling out for ££££ ones

I am quite happy to spend loads on beauty products but I've used Primark ones for years now as they're so good. I bought them as a stop gap as I broke my good ones!

Buy them from outside the UK. If they are that good just pay for the extra postage.

You can get hit for import duties though not just postage.

Sally Hughes wrote about this a few months ago here and recommended Shiseido, Surratt or Kevin Aucoin curlers as alternatives.

Tis sad, I loved their cleansing oil too (last bottle waiting in the cupboard...)

Sounds like I might try the primark ones next. Charlottes ones are robust and come with replacement pads . They are really good I think.

I just bought some from Tiger from £2. I was sceptical but they do a great job.

I prefer the plastic eye lash curlers to the metal ones.
I have the Shu eye lash curlers but don't think they are the right shape for me eyes.

I second the cheapy ones from Tiger.

Shiseido. They are just perfect for my eye shape and give a soft natural curl, couldn't get the same result with Shu Uemura curler.

Eyeko eyelash curlers have been great for me - I like the wider non slip handle so you don't get grooves in your fingers.
