Eyelash curlers do they work…?

[Tinks15]

Do they work even for short straight lashes?

I’m thinking of investing in some as my lashes are ridiculously short.

Yes! Heat them with your hairdryer first for extra oomph. I never apply mascara without curling first; often just curl and go.

I'm don't wear a huge amount of make up but eyelash curlers are one item I really miss whenever I've broken mine. They really do make a difference.

Absolutely! I would never use mascara without eyelash curlers first!

I find them really painful but i have tiny eye sockets - can you get smaller ones? And are they meant to leave you with a right angle in your lashes?

Shu umera are the best! Make sure you get right to the root to avoid the crimped look

Sounds as though you are using them incorrectly @Binglebong - they should have a kind of cushion on one side which stops this happening. The idea is to get the curler as close to the roots of your eyelashes without catching your eyelid in. I wouldn't be without them and I have quite long lashes; they really open up your eyes.

Yes they so! Don't heat them.

Yes!

I see a very noticeable difference in how long my eyelashes look if I don’t use them. They are a must!

I wouldn't heat them and I've been using them for years.

Recommend the Tweezerman ones - the only ones that have never pulled a single lash out and curl beautifully.

If you can afford it, lvl is nice for a treat too.

Yes but there is a knack! You have to kind of ‘pump’ them VERY close to the lash line for best results.

My eyelashes are long but poker straight. I find putting one coat of mascara on then curling before adding layers works

I'm amazed at those that heat them - sure it works but to put something hot that close to my eye?! No thanks!

Thanks all - I didn’t know if they’d help my lashes or not. I’ve had LVL before & not been overly impressed.

Thats what my next question was going to be... I’ll have a look at Tweezerman & Shu umera

I loved my Kevin Aucoin lash curlers.
Until I found out that they don’t have refills — you have to buy a new one every time.
Nope.

I have short straight lashes and now always curl mine they make such a difference!

Yes they do and the best ones are from Primark for a couple of quid and I've tried ones that are over £20.

Primark ones are better than Shuemera!

They do work- buy cheap ones tho and use right at the lash line or you'll get a kink halfway up

Would never use mascara without curling first. I have short, sparse in lashes, really makes a difference.

Haven't you seen heated eyelash curlers ?

Shiseido refills fit

Nope

I had some heated dior ones. Difference is they are designed to be heated and the temperature they reach is controlled carefully.
