Eyelash curler recommendations for short, sparse lashes.

Please can you recommend some good eyelash curlers.
I’m post-menopausal and my eyelashes have gone sparse, straight and stubby. I have an eye issue so can’t have any eyelash treatments, even mascara sometimes causes problems.

Shiseido is by far the best - not cheap about £30 but just so much better than all the others I’ve tried.

It depends on your eye shape. The curve on curlers are different and a great eyelash curler for me might not be so great for you because of your eye shape. Have a look online for recommendations based on eye shape to give you an idea and then see if you can try any. I’ve got shiseido ones I got probably 15 years ago which are perfect for me. People used to rave about shu umera ones years ago but they weren’t a good shape for me.

I splashed out on a pair of Tweezerman eyelash curlers on the basis that my Tweezerman tweezers are unmatchable. They're the best eyelash curlers I've ever owned. They get right to the base and feel really great to use, very quality. They were expensive though. I'm hoping they last for a long time. They came with extra silicone insert things.

Thank you. I have round eyes with drooping upper lids now.

I have very short straight lashes and the only ones that work are the heated ones from amazon, they are brilliant. I get a lash lift now but they are comparable.

Use UK lash eyelash serum, your eyelashes will grow. Then go to a salon and get LVLs. No eyelash curler will ever beat that, in my experience.

Same here. Love both tweezers and curlers

I have the shortest eyelashes known to mankind-I currently use the shiseido ones which are brilliant. I used to use the shu uemera ones which are also good, just the pad is slightly shorter and more curved so felt like I wasn’t getting my end lashes in!

To get a good curl heat the eyelash curlers with a hairdryer for a few seconds first.

Girlintheframe · 09/06/2025 08:40

I’ve very short lashes too. I use the tweezerman ones.
