Having beautiful thick and long eyelashes is no doubt fabulous but there is something else that women want from their lashes and that is to curl them. Curled lashes enhance the beauty of the eyes if done properly. However, before attempting to curl your eyelashes you need to know how to do it. There are a few pointers that should be kept in mind.

1. You should apply the shadow and the eyeliner prior to curling the lashes. Let the eye makeup dry and then curl the lashes, and after curling the lashes apply the mascara. Do not apply the mascara before curling the eyelash as that can result in the breakage.

2. Make sure that your eyes are dry before curling them.

3. You should always use the curler on clean eyes.

The most basic and obvious thing that is required for eyelash curling is the eyelash curler itself. There are more or less three to four types of eyelash curlers in the market. There is a compact curler; it is good for beginners, it is made of plastic and can be easily carried in your bag. Another type is the heated wand curler; it is good for stubborn lashes which are short and hard. Classical metal clamp curler is the most commonly used curler. Metal curler with spring, it is gentler to the eyes than the classical metal curler. You need to figure out which type of curler works best for you and use that kind.

Tips for using eyelash curler

1. Make sure that the eyes are clean. Start at the base, all the lashes should be inside the curler before you close it. Gently bend the lashes and hold for about 3 seconds. Make sure that the skin does not get trapped in the curler. If you feel a tug on your skin let go of the curler at once.

2. After curling the lashes apply the mascara starting from the middle all the way to the tip, this will separate the lashes giving them a longer look.
