Now, until recently I have always struggled with keeping my eyelashes curled! Using an eyelash curler seems so easy and I suppose it is, but then theres the tricky part of KEEPING your eyelashes curled!!
So here goes with how I keep my eyelashes curled -
What you need:
-Eyelash curler
-Mascara
-Mirror
Before
Step 1: Get your eyelash curler and place it near the base of your eyelashes. I look in the mirror for this, some people find it easy to do without. Clamp them down firmly for 2seconds, and release, do this 3 times at the base.
Step 2: Move the curlers up to the middle of your lashes. Again, clamp them down for 2 seconds and release, do this 3 times.
Depending on the length of your lashes you may be able to move the curler up again a little, but always make sure to do it in atleast 2 places to create a better more natural curl.
Step 3: Get your mascara and apply a thin layer to your lashes. This will keep the curl in place without weighing the lashes back down
Now repeat the steps on your other eye.
Step 4: Moving back to the first eye, apply another layer of mascara.
Step 5: Pick up your eyelash curler again. This time place the curved metal against your eyelashes and and hold them into the upward curled shape (hard to describe but look at the picture) Hold there for about half a minute.
Repeat on the second eye.
Step 6: Apply more mascara till they are your desired thickness. As a tip I wouldn't apply to much as it will weigh the lashes down and the curl is more likely to drop out. You will get a better effect from the curl then thickness in my opinion!
After
Hope this helps you guys, if anything isn't clear just comment and I'll try to explain!
