Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Curl your eyelashes before applying your mascara. Mascara contains wax, which can stick to the eyelash curler. When you pull the curler away, you may take your eyelashes with it! Do not pull your eyelashes out! Use your curler and then apply your mascara after your lashes are curled.
-
Step 2
Hold your eyelash curler with your thumb and your middle finger. This will give you more control than if you use your index finger.
-
Step 3
Steady your hand by resting your thumb and the eyelash curler against your cheek. You do not want your hand to jerk, causing you to yank out your eyelashes. So keep your hand still, by resting it against your face.
-
Step 4
Squeeze only the upper lashes in the curler. The lower lashes naturally curl downward, and you will not enhance them by trying to curl them also. Let the lower lashes remain natural.
-
Step 5
Squeeze hard for about ten seconds, then release. Relocate the curler slightly and squeeze again. Keep squeezing and releasing the curler, moving slightly further out on the lashes each time. This will result in a gentle curve of the eyelashes. If you hold the curler in one spot for thirty seconds or so, you will get a harsh bend rather than a gentle curve.
