I've never had much look with eye lash curlers, so I've always put it down to having such long straight eye lashes that there was no hope for me. That was until I was recommended the Shu Umera eyelash curler, and miracles really do happen! For the first time, I had curled lashes that stayed put all day!!
The trick is to 'pump' (or squeeze) the curlers at the roots of the lashes for about 5 times, then move further up the lashes and squeeze again. If your lashes are long you could probably fit another squeeze in towards the end of your lashes. This creates a gradual and even curl, not a sharp right-angle line which would look really harsh on the face.
I've tried this with two mascara's now, and it was actually the cheaper mascara that worked better with curled lashes. I think that was because the YSL mascara I used was quite heavy and may have 'pulled' my lashes down, where as the Maybelline just sat on top and set my lashes into position.
I'm not going to use the curlers every day as I'm scared that it will weaken my lashes and make them snap. So I'm saving this for special occasions only, when I fancy that extra boost in my eye makeup, or even when I'm only wearing mascara to open up my eyes even more.
Well worth the investment of £20.
