How to Get the Curl in Your Eyelashes to Stay

Keep your lashes curly throughout the day.

For some women, the process of curling eyelashes is an unnecessary one. For everyone else, however, maintaining curly eyelashes is a skill to be mastered. Give the curl in your lashes staying power by following a few simple steps.

Things You'll Need

• Eyelash curler
• Blow dryer
• Water
• Soap
• Makeup remover
• Cotton pads

Instructions

1. Clean both your eyelashes and your eyelash curler using water and soap. Dirt will prevent the curl from holding for long, so make sure that all dirt has been removed from the eyelash curler. If you still have eye makeup on from the previous day, remove it using a gentle eye cleaner and a cotton pad. Dab your eyes and the curler dry with a towel and give them both time to air-dry before moving on.

2. Heat the eyelash curler using a blow dryer. Heat is a highly effective way of increasing the amount of time that your eyelashes will stay curled. Don't hold the blow dryer on the curler for too long -- 10 or 15 seconds is sufficient.

3. Curl your lashes. Place the eyelash curler so that your upper lashes are inside its "mouth". Gently close the curler and squeeze it over your lashes for five to 10 seconds. Release the curler go and check your lashes. If necessary, repeat this step until you've achieved your desired curliness.
