Eyelash curlers do they work…?

Do they work even for short straight lashes?

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

Get your eye lashes lifted (plus tinted) it lasts 6-8 weeks and you will look fabulous without eyelash curlers or Mascara hassle. 😉

I agree the lash lift is amazing. Its no good if you sleep on your front though.

Get them really close to the roots and close very gently, so you're sure you haven't trapped any skin. Then close hard. Pull them forward very slightly, and close hard again - this technique gives a better curl than doing it just the once. Spraying a bit of hairspray on an old, clean mascara brush and brushing it over the curled lashes fixes the curl and stops it dropping out (although I can only be bothered to do this for special events!)

Well they cut DDs eyelashes straight off at the root 😱, they did grow back quickly though and she really doesn't need them anyway as super long, thick and curl upwards touching her eyebrows.

I have LVL and highly recommend.

I have very stubby eyelashes that practically point downwards! So yes, for me there’s no point wearing mascara without curling first

I always use eyelash curlers. Shu Uemura were my faves until they stopped selling them in UK. Bought Surratt ones from Space NK, they are great.

Yes but... I'm partial to the ones from Shiseido because I have small eyes. Other brands just don't adjust as well. With Shiseido I can curl all my eyelashes at once, with others I have to do it bit by bit because they're not such a good fit.
