Ask any girl for her top makeup products and mascara is bound to be close to the top of the list.
Just a touch of mascara can open and brighten the eyes, making you look and feel like you're at least halfway human!
But how many people would rate an eyelash curler as one of their top makeup products? For many people weilding a metal clamp near their eyes is a hurdle they'd rather not jump over. But oh - if you take that leap you'll probably never look back - instead you'll face the world head on, with beautifully curled lashes, that look thicker and more full.
Here's our top tips:
- Always use eyelash curlers on clean eyelashes. If you use them after mascara, or even with traces of mascara on the lash, the mascara can stick and you might just pull out a lash or two. (Sad times)
- Be sure to get all of the lashes (and no skin!) in to the curler. Start at the base and gently press the curler shut. Hold for 3 seconds.
- Repeat for the middle and ends of the lash length.
- Don't fall in to the trap of "if I hold it longer they'll curl more". Any longer than 3-5 seconds and you're going to crimp not curl!
- Don't worry about curling the bottom lashes.
- Some people might suggest warming the lash curler with a hair dryer beforehand - personally we don't think this is necessary, and if you are going to do this, excercise extreme caution!

This sounds fab and I would love to try them both. I have straightish lashes so they need a bit of help. I have used a curler for as long as I remember as part of the daily routine. I'd probably go into a tail spin if it broke!
