1. Select an eyelash curler that fits your eye shape and curvature. The curler's jaw width should match your eye's arc. Beyond material differences, plastic curlers typically feature a spring-loaded handle that helps control pressure, preventing excessive force that could break lashes.
2. Align the eyelash curler with the curve of your eye to position it closest to the lash roots.The standard technique involves looking downward at a 45-degree angle, clamping the roots with the curler, applying gentle pressure, then slowly sliding the curler toward the tips while maintaining a steady grip.If you struggle with the angle and positioning, try placing a small, adjustable standing mirror on your table. By looking into the mirror while tilting your head slightly downward, you can locate the ideal spot for curling your lashes.
4. Avoid rushing when curling lashes, as excessive force can result in unnatural-looking curls. Begin by gently lifting the lash curler upward at a 60-degree angle.
5. Apply a bit more pressure to lift the lashes upward to 90 degrees. Then, using a "pull-and-release" motion, gradually curl the lashes upward toward the tips.
5. Gradually increase pressure to lift lashes to a 90-degree angle. Then, using a "grip-and-release" motion, curl lashes upward toward the tips.
6. Finally, use one hand to gently lift the outer corner of the eye toward the hairline, fully exposing the outer lashes. Use the curler to specifically enhance the curl at the outer lash line.
