If you have only one beauty trick up your sleeve, this should to be it. A simple crimping of your eyelashes using one of these metal contraptions is the fastest way to open up your peepers and make you instantly look wide awake.
It doesn’t matter how many coats of mascara you apply, it’s all about getting the foundations right. If your lashes are straight and unruly, you will fail to create a doe-eyed effect. A set of clumpy, spidery lashes should be reserved for couture-clad models on the catwalk and Halloween parties, only. A set of fluttering, uniformly curled lashes will always be alluring.
Some starlets go to great lengths to create the perfect curl. Blake Lively and Miranda Kerr have both confessed that their eyelashes are coiffed using a spoon. One that has been heated with warm water, no less. We don’t all have that much time on their hands to go to such great lengths so for a quicker solution, see below.
To begin, I must warn you of the perils that come associated with the infamous eyelash curler. One friend told me of her horror as she was startled in a mid-crimping session and ripped out an entire set of lashes. Leaving one eye completely bald and having to wear a set of falsies for the next three months. Another no-no is to curl your lashes after having applied mascara as coated lashes tend to snap.
If you are responsible enough to use this treasured, time-honored, beauty contraption correctly, you will reap the reward. At the mirror each morning, with a barefaced reflection staring straight back, start your beauty routine with a quick clamp and notice the difference for yourself.
