Beauty Gizmo 101 : Heating the Eyelash Curler

I must say that my lashes are horribly poker straight. Give it three seconds, and my well-curled lashes are all straight again. My friend even wondered why I don’t curl my lashes and apply mascara but in fact, I have painstakingly spent an hour to fix myself up – curling the lashes, and applying mascara included. I want to buy myself a heated eyelash curler, but what am I going to do with my three Shu Uemura eyelash curlers? ( no, I’m not bragging that I have alot, it’s just that that’s what I get from friends every year when I turn a year older! I really have no idea – maybe they think I’d love beauty stuff – and I really do! )

So, one day, I finally found an old hair blower, and tried “heating” my eyelash curler. Well, let’s just say that I learned my lesson the hard way, thank God I’m still in one piece! No, no, nothing serious happened. Haha.

Anyway, here are my three tips from my experience

1. Heat the eyelash curler no more than three seconds.
You don’t want a very very very very steaming, heated eyelash curler to fry your lashes, do you?
2. Let it cool down a bit – maybe wait for it to be just a bit more than warm, but tolerable.
3. If your lashes are short, don’t do it the usual way in such that you curl your lashes near the roots of your lashes. Again, wait for the curler to cool down a bit – maybe blow some air to it, and carefully curl – not too close.

In fairness, it sure worked for me! My “curled” lashes held for the rest of the day, and I shall be doing this more often! I hope this helped!
