How to Curl Bottom Eyelashes

Applying heat to the eyelash curler will make your lashes fuller.

The best way to curl eyelashes is to use an eyelash curler. However, many women forgo curling the bottom lashes because they don't know how to do it properly, or find the task too difficult to accomplish. However, with the right technique and a little patience, curling the bottom lashes is possible. Adding heat to the eyelash curler will result in a fuller curl that lasts longer.

Things You'll Need

• Mascara
• Hair dryer
• Eyelash curler

Instructions

1. Clean the lashes with makeup remover.

2. Apply two coats of mascara to the bottom and top lashes. Allow the eyelashes to dry between applications.

3. Warm the eyelash curler with a hair dryer. Set the hair dryer on a low heat setting and blow on the curler for approximately seven to 10 seconds.

4. Hold the eyelash curler upside down. Pull the handles apart to open the eyelash curler's curling blades.

5. Place the eyelash curler as close to the bottom eyelid as you can without actually touching the skin. The lashes should now be poking out between the eyelash curler's curling blades.

6. Press the handles together and hold for five seconds. Open the handles and move them to the middle of the lashes. Squeeze the handles and hold for five seconds. Move the curler to the top of the lashes and squeeze once more, holding for five seconds.

7. Apply another coat of mascara if desired.

Tips & Warnings

• Be careful when using an eyelash curler. Holding the eyelash curler too close to the eyelid when using can result in painful pinching.
