There is a long history of eyelashes and their relationship to the feminine mystique. Long, curled eyelashes are considered beautiful, and women use a wide variety of tools, cosmetics and curlers to create the illusion of longer lashes. One of the many tools used for this purpose is the eyelash curler. An eyelash curler is a small device which crimps the eyelashes, slanting them upward towards the brow, creating the illusion of length. Combined with mascara, the eyelashes can appear twice as thick and long as before. However, since the lashes are connected to the very thin and delicate eyelid skin as well as very close in proximity to the eyes, it is mandatory to take special care of the lashes and use the right tools when manipulating them. Using clean supplies and following safety tips will give your lashes the best possible results.
In this free instructional video clip series, our expert makeup artist will show you the keys to beautiful lashes using an eyelash curler. Learn how to use warm curlers for optimum effects as well as as tips for optimizing your length and thickness. Included are tips for using eyelash curlers safely and obtaining proper, clean utensils and materials for curling.
" Hi! My name is Yvette Parrish and thank you for visiting expertvillage.com. We are going to be talking about the different eyelash curlers. If you can see them, close your eyes. Her eyelashes are very curly and very pretty and what you can do with your eyelash curler, you can warm it up a little bit with a hair dryer but do not do it too long because this will actually heat up and you can burn yourself or hurt yourself. So really take a hair dryer maybe 5 seconds, 10 seconds. That's it, quit! Don't go crazy with it because it will actually burn you. I know it from experience; it hurts, don't do it. So just warm it up for just a little while and then when you apply, when you squeeze it will curl your eyelashes. Go ahead and open and it will give you a pretty curly look like that. So I do recommend warming it up, just be careful. "
