Infinite eyelashes: how to curl eyelashes

Eyelashes can be curled for several reasons. The first, to make your eyes look bigger when you do not want to apply too much make-up; another reason is to use it as a base before applying mascara, and, on the other hand, it can also help you highlight the lash roots before applying false eyelashes.

Curling eyelashes with a curler

Unlike what many people think, it is essential for your eyelashes to be clean before you use the curler. Use a hair-dryer to heat the pad slightly, and then place the curler as close to the roots as possible, closing it for a few seconds. When you stop applying pressure, open the curler slightly before removing it to avoid pulls.

The important thing is not to press too hard or for longer than indicated.

Another trick that works well to achieve a more open curvature, is to curl the lashes at two points, one at the base of the lashes, and another reaching the tips.

Last-minute trick: the spoon

Many women do not like eyelash curlers because they believe that excessive use can damage their lashes, which is why they prefer to use the spoon. This permits a much more rounded finish than with the curlers. Let’s take a look, step by step:

1. Choose a small spoon, coffee or teaspoon, so it fits over your eye well.

2. Heat it under the hot water tap so that, when it is in contact with your lashes, it has an “iron effect” that helps with the curling.

3. Keep the teaspoon on the lid horizontally, and align its edge with the line of your upper eyelashes. The lower part of the spoon must be against the lid and the curvature, facing outwards.

4. Press the lashes on the spoon and wait for 30 seconds. You can increase the time if you want a more defined curve. Then repeat the process with other eyelashes.

5. Fix the eyelashes with black or transparent mascara so that the curl is maintained for longer, and that’s it!
