How to Curl Eyelashes with a Spoon

Curling your eyelashes with a spoon is an old trick used by women for hundreds of years. If you ever forget your eyelash curler, not to worry, you can use a spoon. Some women say that a spoon works better than a modern eyelash curler.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Powder
• Mascara
• Spoon

1. Prepare your eyelashes with powder. Applying powder to your eyelashes will smooth out the texture of each individual lash, ensuring that your lashes won't stick together. This will give your eyelashes a fuller look and will help avoid unwanted clumps when using mascara. You can use either baby powder or conventional loose powder.

2. Apply mascara to your lashes. Mascara will help reinforce and sustain the curl you will create for your lashes, as well as give them a longer appearance. Apply an even layer over all of your top lashes. Make sure to brush through all of your lashes to separate them before you move on to the curling process.

3. Position the spoon in your hand correctly. Hold the spoon with your right hand when curling the eyelashes on your right eye. Hold the handle of the spoon in the palm of your hand and make a fist with your pinky, ring and middle finger. Turn the inside of the spoon that you eat off of, toward you. Place your thumb on the curve of the bottom of the spoon and your pointer finger on the back of the spoon for support.

4. Curl your lashes. Try to curl them as soon after applying mascara as possible, before the mascara dries. Place the edge of the spoon where your thumb is placed, on top of your lashes. This will ensure that your mascara doesn't spread onto your eyelids. Now hold the underneath of your eyelashes with your thumb and firmly press them toward the edge of the spoon. Continue until you have perfected the curl you desire.
