Preparation
The eyes are one of the first features people notice, and one way to get yours looking their best is to curl your eyelashes to perfection. That’s why so many makeup professionals swear by one tool: the eyelash curler. The handy—and sometimes intimidating—makeup essential can do everything from add volume to fanning out the eyelashes in one use. When used on straighter lashes, the tool can even make your mascara application look better.
An eyelash curler is made up of a curved eyepiece to match up with your eye shape, a rubber or silicone pad for comfort and to prevent pinching while clamping, and easy-to-use handles that mimic a pair of scissors. The process should take about 10 seconds and can be repeated until lashes are perfectly curled. Leading makeup artists share why everyone needs an eyelash curler in their makeup bag, and which ones they swear by to lift, lengthen, and curl lashes.
