How to Curl Straight Eyelashes to Last All Day

1. Heat an eyelash curler with the hair dryer for 5 to 10 seconds. Touch it to make sure it is not too hot for your eye area.

2. Gently place the eyelash curler over your upper eyelash, close to the lash root, and press down firmly for 15 to 30 seconds. Clamp it down again in the middle section of your eyelash for another 15 to 30 seconds, then again toward the tips.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the other eye.

4. Remove excess product or clumps from the primer's mascara wand. Be sure to then apply a light coat of eyelash primer close to the roots, extending out.

5. Apply black mascara lightly to the upper lashes in the same manner as Step 4.

Tips & Warnings

• A good eyelash primer is key to holding straight lashes up all day. Do not use too much mascara because it can weigh the lashes down.
• Never share makeup. Do not use makeup beyond its shelf life. Mascara and primer tends to last for about 3 months.
