I haven't heard about Shiseido having HG status, but I have about Shu Uemura. I have curlers from both, but haven't used either yet. I wore out my Tarte one and now I'm back to using one from Laura Mercier. What I love about it is it's open on both sides so there's no pinching my inner and outer corners. I think it's either $16 or $17 - it's not available at Sephora but you can find it at LM's website or at Nordstrom.Sooo.. I just started looking into eyelash curlers and I was hoping to get some thoughts here. Anyone use them? I'm interested in the ones from Tweezerman (mainly b/c they come in rose gold). Not really interested in the Shiseido even though it's supposed to be the HG of lash curlers. I wear false lashes all the time and I'm starting to think mascara is pointless. I was reading up on falsies and I read a lot about not using mascara on mink lashes (which are all I wear now). So, a little curl would help me blend the lashes to my own. My own lashes aren't super straight so I just need something that gets the job done and not having to shell out $$ for mascara would be awesome.
