Manicare Eyelash Curler Review

I first tried this eyelash curler at a friends house when I was a young teen and have had one ever since.

I have only tried the manicare brand (think I've had 2 in like 12 years - they last ages) as I find it does what I need it to do, I would be open to try others yet there hasn't been any that have caught my eye.

Its an easy to hold device, similar to that of holding scissors. For a novice it can seem scary at first putting something so close up to your eye but you get use to it. I have found both my curlers to be sturdy and last well, with no defects to them. I remember when I first meet Mr Rosie and he was like 'What the heck are doing to your eye?! was rather funny - boys aye!

I use mine every time prior to mascara application. Never after. I also use it (if I remember) when I go makeup free as you can still get the curled effect, especially if you tint your lashes.

As the tip above states you can walk the curler up your lashes which is what I do and I really love the result. I really think it makes mascara application that much more easier. You don't need to press too firm either, start by pushing down slowly until you see the lashes curl up the curler, if you do it to hard in the wrong place it will end up pulling and curl your lashes in the wrong place.

I guess nowadays there are more lash products on the market (like falsies and more improved mascaras, as well as growth serums) so lash curlers are prob not as much a necessity as they once were but you will always find one in with my makeup stash.

It works just as well as any eye lash curler! i started off buying the expensive ones (like this) but then realized that the cheaper ones ($2.00-$3.00) do exactly the same thing!

Just your standard curler, does what it says. I currently have this set, but I've used other 'brands' of curlers before, and they all work just the same- as long as I put mascara on after to hold the curl, they stay that way the whole day.

I like this eyelash curler. Before this one I used a super cheap one (and I mean very cheap, I think it was $3) because I thought they were all the same. That one broke pretty quickly and the rubber lining was a problem. This one however does the job well and it seems to be pretty strong too. Curled lashes are great for any makeup look, so a curler is certainly an essential :)

my eyelashes have no curl in them so i use a curler almost every day and i love this one! it keeps my lashes curled for the whole day and i have had trouble with other curlers not holding my lashes!

This is a good product for the price you pay. It is available at a number of places (mine was from new world). I do not tend to curl my lashes very often but if I do this is what I use, I find it does a great job without pinching or having to do it a few times before it works.

Bought this on sale for about 5 dollars. I use this every morning and it lasts most of the morning. I was very scared at first because it seemed like it would rip my lashes out but nope, lashes still there! I usually press 5 or 6 times, first curling from the base then moving out towards the tip. I find that this way my lashes get a natural curl rather than a weird pointy crimp. Great product!

I got this Curler from a pharmacy as it was the cheapest one and i was low on cash thought i would try it out and was actually quite impressed, some of the cheaper Eyelash curlers can be very round and cause it to pinch my eye lids but this curler was right size and curled my lashes well. My lashes did not stick to it or break off so happy customer here especially as the price is good.

This eyelash curler gives me such a great defined open eyed curl, I find myself reaching for it each and everyday to make me eyes stand out more, I love long lashes and this gives me that even without mascara.

I love the soft rubber pads, I have never once pinched my eye lid and they come with spare black pads as well which is nice little bonus.

They are comfortable around the eye area and fingers, they are also easy to wipe clean as I like to clean them every so often as they are around the eye area you don't want contamination.

The down fall is the curl doesn't last all day long, I guess that what I am paying for but I have found the curls last longer if you hold the curler shut for 15-20 seconds then pump it for 5 times then apply your mascara to hold the curl in place.

Overall, this is perfect for everyday use, but if I wanted more dramatic night time eyelashes I would get a different type.

I got this with the Incredible Eyes Beauty Box & very glad too. I NEVER would have purchased one of these on their own as they look like an instrument of torture! However, deep breath and catching myself before applying mascara, I had a go. no pain! It caught my lashes easily and while it was weird holding my lashes for 30 seconds, it was not painful. The result was a bit more of a curl in my lashes - although I think my lashes have a natural curve in them (didn't know I was so lucky). I like that the curler comes with a spare rubber pad. If you are considering more of a curl in your lashes - give these a go, not as scary as you might think.
