i have 2 that i use and they work really well. one is a tweezerman one that i use at home and i tote along a mini one that i found at a japanese trinket store for $3 that works like a dream - believe it or not. i carry the mini one because i have to recurl my lashes after the mascara dries completely so i just wait until i get to work before i recurl. it creates a curl that lasts all day. i love it.

I have tried both the Shu Uemura and Shiseido curlers and neither was all that great for me. This is definitely one of those "your mileage may vary" items - I just recently bought a cheapo Revlon curler and I have better luck with that. I guess the shape works better for my roundish eyes. I might give the MAC & the Kevyn Aucoin ones a spin next.

I have a Shu Uemura and I have to be careful or I end up pinching myself. I think my eyes are too small or too deep or something. It is hard to imagine any one is much better then another. It may come down really to your eye and which one works best for you.

i love my Shu curler. So far, it's one of the best I've tried. I just wish it was wider, as I find I still have some straight lashes on my outer corners that I just can't get

...and yes, I say HELLA

question about the Shu curler, is the padding rubber or that cusiony-type?

I LOVE MY SHU UEMURA CURLER! It's my HG curler and since I bought my two babies I have no desire to even look at any other curler ever again. Why you ask?

I have stick straight thick lashes. I don't always wear mascara BUT I have to curl my lashes - it totally opens my eyes. Shu curlers are strong enough to do the job.

Shu curlers fit really well. Correction, it fits my eye really well, apparently some ladies find that it doesn't fit them.

Shu curler pads are really sturdy and last forever. Next to fit, pads are really important, I used to use a Maybelline curler and the pads were so weak they would sink in and disintegrate after a few months.

Shu curlers have precise alignment. I have tried many different curlers before and they had poor alignment and what I mean by that is they didn't curl lashes in uniform. I would have the ends curl almost to a 90 degree and the inside barely even curled. Also they don't pinch and I don't lose as many lashes as a result of that. lawdy, you have NO idea how many lashes I've lost in the past! It's all good now thou

I have the Shu curler too, I love it

I hate it! I bought one cuz my favorite Japonesque Ergo Grip broke when I dropped it and a client caught it thus shattering the middle section. Anywho, so I decided to check out Shu Uemera to see what all the hype was. Even heated it up it didn't really curl my lashes at all. I took it back to Sephora. I went to Beauty First and got another Japonesque Ergo Grip which is a helluva let better and $10 cheaper. http://www.japonesque.com/prod_toolscurlers.html

i got my shu uemura curler at neiman marcus (as there are not many places to get shu here in hawai'i). it's great, it doesn't stick... but i don't know if it lives up to ALL the hype (which was the reason i wanted to try it in the first place). but it definetly beats the cheap ole drugstore lash curler i had before!!

Hey, its not rubber. Its silicone.

I think that's why they cost so much. Over here, they're about £18 ( I think thats about $30).

I own the 24-karat gold plated Shu Uemura lash curler, Mally Get the Last Lash curler, Spehora Lower Lash Curler & Sephora Detail Lash Curler. My eyelashes go evry which way so that's why I have so many lash curlers.
